- Long ago the old people had a lot of trades which are now rapidly dying out. There is a man in Cloonkelly named Hughes who is still living who was able to make churns. He is very old now but his sons are able to make them. My father remembers when very long to see a man in Tuam making nails. A man in Knocknagur named Tom Forde who dies last year was the best thatcher in the district. A man in Crocklawn named Godwin are able to make ploughs gates and hoes.
