- A man named Connolly made churns and tubs long ago. This man lived in Ballyhaunis road where Mr. Higgins has his shed now. He lived in one of those houses. He used to fix his own tember for tubs and churns. This trade is being carried on in the district yet.
There is a man in Crossboyne who is carrying out the trade. The man's named is Cleary. The tubs that were made long ago were better than the tubs made now. The tember which was put in the churns and tubs was oak.
