- An old man and his wife lived in our farm about a hundred and sixty years ago. The man's name was Denis Cremin and his wife's name was Nora Lynch.
Their work was making skeehoges." They were very poor so they used make their living by selling them in Killarney every Saturday for sixpence or sometimes fourpence.
First they used get a strong sally rod and out of this they used make a bow. Then they used get middling strong twigs for the sides of it. Then they used weave the twigs across the bottom of it until it would be finished.
