    Local Heroes (Continued)
    Mr Rigley of Solsboro who died in 1905 was a great mower.
    He mowed an acre and a half of wheat with a scythe in one day.
    When he was young he won a lot of medals for running.
    Mr Ennis Oulartard carried a sack of wheat 16 stone weight up on the mill on the day of a threshing.
