  1. Candle-Making

    Share Share Post
    Very many years ago Mr Brennan and his wife Eva made candles. At that time candles were made with wax and a piece of card. Mrs Brennan could spin and weave also. They were the only people in that district that could make candles.
    Mrs Brennan was the only woman in the country could spin or weave.
    Every one bought from them. They became very prosperous and lived a very happy life.
