  1. The Care of the Feet

    Share Share Post
    Long ago some people went to their graves without ever putting a boot or shoe on their feet. In the end of the last century there were two noted men in this district who never wore boots and those were Pat Braiden of Springfield and Dr Shanley of Clonee.
    Bog water is the best water for washing feet and after the washing of the feet sprinkle the water on the roots of apple trees to protect the frost from harming the blossoms.
    There is one shoemaker in the town and he is Mr Ellis and there are two cobblers Mr Angers and Mr Burgess.
