- Long ago if any one came into a house and a churning on the person would help at it.
If you spilled salt you should always how a grain of it across your left shoulder.
Long ago it was the custom to carry the corps three times round the grave yard before it was buried.
It is said that a funeral should take the longest way to the grave yard.
