    Singers etc.
    this district was never noted for either good singers, musicians or dancers. The reason I think for this is that the people around here always got the times pretty hard, and they never went in much for these past-times. Another reason perhaps is, that a good many of them came from the North of Ireland, and I dont think the people up there are very fond of fun.
    When I was young I had plenty of old stories, but I dont remember even one of them now. The young people now-a-days would laugh at the person who would tell them.
