  1. (continued from previous page)
    OLeary also went around at about the same time. This man played a fiddle and made his living by playing on it at the house doors through out the district.
    He stayed for a night or two at each house and then he went to another district and he spent a term of three months there. The young people always visited the house when they heard that he was at that house. When he would be about to leave they filled his hat with silver and then he departed. This man was also a match-maker.
