  1. A Weaver

    Share Share Post
    6/05/ 1938.
    About fifty years ago there lived in Togher a weaver named Jonnie Kildeay. He lived in a small house on top of a hill one or two fields in from the road.
    He had two sisters and they used to help him to weave. He used to have a lot of weaving to do and at night and at night the neighbouring girls used to come in and help him to weave a dye.
    He made a road through the field to his house. The new road was made so that he build another house on the side of the road. The ruins of the old are there yet but there is no trace of the old house.
