  1. Care of the Feet

    Care of the Feet.
    Barney Hunt of Seafield and Jem Murphy of Leveitstown mend boots in this district.
    Bill Cummins and Jem Cleary also mend boots.
    Burle's yard is still called a tan yard.
    A few people wear clogs in this district, in the winter.
    The people now-a-days never go without boots but poor children go bare-footed in the summer.
    People put a wisp of straw in their boots in the winter. Robert Bennett, George Shudall, and Johnny Hunt made boots in this district long ago.
