- Cooperage. Charles McCarthy, better known locally as 'Charley the Cooper' lived here in the village of Meelin and was the cooper for the whole locality. He died about + five years ago (January 1933) at the age of eighty-four years.
In his early days and for the greater part of his active life he was busily engaged in the making butter ferkins, meat-tubs and barrels for churning as well as other tubs of ordinary use. Small churns were also made by him as well as milk-pails.
[Sketches of barrels and churns etc.]
Large barrel as used for meat. The large barrel-churn fitted on iron stand. Small barrel-churn for making butter for household purposes only. A milk-pail used in former times for milking the cows. It is now replaced by the ordinary galvanised bucket.
Before creameries were started in this locality there was a great demand for the above articles but the trade has completely disappeared from the district now.
