    olden times. In olden times the people used to wear wooden shoes, and some of the old people still wear them.
    Leather was never made in this district at any time. Wool was spun and home made socks, and stockings were made from it for foot coverings. There was no kind of leather made from sheep-skins, or untanned hide ever worn in this district.
