MIRACULOUS CURE AT DOON WELL.
On Sunday 14th September 1913 a very large number of people travelled on special trains on the Donegal Railway’s lines and the Burtonport line, to the Holy Well. Among those was a man named Ward from the Killybegs district. Ward, who is apparently about 35 years of age, was working in Scotland up to two years ago, when, in handling iron bars his spine got so injured that for about a year he with great difficulty moved painfully with the aid of two crutches. On Sunday his appearance, getting with the aid of friends and supported by his crutches from one railway station to the other at Letterkenny, excited pity in beholders. After having made the, to him, second weary railway journey on the Burtonport Railway, performing the devotions required of pilgrims at the Holy Well, he on return to Letterkenny, where the excursion party had an arranged delay for refreshment purposes, gladly announced to many that he found at the Well that he no longer required a crutch, and left them there. Several persons who had been speaking to him in the morning found it hard to realise the miraculous change in his appearance. He walked strongly erect and with perfect freedom. These are his simple facts.
