    Long ago the people in the distric of Rahard used to make linen out of flax They used to make wollen clothes also
    My father's great grand father was a tailor. He used to go from house to house making clothes. His name was James Ryan Every place he used to go he stopped a week or so there. He used to make sheeps wool in to wollen clothes with a spinning wheel. John Grace Rathluiceen has an old spinning wheel now. My father's great grand father was called a waver long ago. He was about seventy years of age
