    The day of the marriage the party to be married went to the church in an old fashioned side car. When they went back to the house there was great feasting and merry making. There were men dressed up who were called straw boys. Those straw boys got a goose and roasted the goose over the fire, others were stuffing the chimney and were burning red pepper. Mrs. Dillon who was Margaret Fitzgerald died about sixty years ago.
