  1. Clothes Made Locally

    Share Share Post
    Jack Hannan was an ancient tailor and he used to go from house to house. He was a good tailor and is living yet. Tailor Kelly would go to all houses sewing and patching and he would until the clothes would be made.
    Long ago the people would spin their own material's and the tailors would come and make it. But now the journeymen tailors are gone and the local people have to go to the town tailors to get their clothes made.
