    man named Gahan he lived in Ballycrystal. He used to make spades, ploughs and harrows. He made them out of iron. My Grandmother used to spin wool and then knit stockings out of the thread. She used to wash the stockings before she wore them. All the old people used to make candles out of rushes. They peeled them and dipped them in lard.
