  2. Feast-Days - Saint John's Day

    Share Share Post
    The old people used to light bone fires at every cross road. They called them bone fires because they used to throw bones into the fires. They used to go from house to house for arms of turf. When they would have enough of turf they would gather to gather and and buy a gallon of oil.
    They used to get cans and milk people’s cows. They used milk goats also. When they would come home they would buy two loaves between them.
