  1. Travelling Folk - Jack Hayes

    Share Share Post
    Long ago people went around selling small things such as laces, pins and hair pins. The most popular of them was Jack Hayes. He frequently visited this parish.
    He was a small man, well dressed, and he had side whiskers. He wore a hard hat, and he always carried a basket and a walking stick
    He always came at Christmas for a Christmas gift, and at Patrick's Day for a present which he called a "Patrick's pot."
    When he was old he left this parish and was never seen again.
