- There was an old man named John Cassidy who used to make baskets. He used to boil the rods and peel them. He used to wave weave them in and out among each other. There was a woman in this district who made rush candles she used to peel the rushes and dip them in grease. In the forge they used to make grates, fire screens and mend guns. The carpenters made wheels, cabinets, table and window cases. There was a woman in the district named Garvey and she used to spin all the wool.
