    The Travelling Tailor
    About forty years ago a tailor named Tom Rehill lived in the townland of Auganadaeena. He used to go from house to house making suits of clothes. He used to bring a scissors a spool of thread and kneedles with him. He used to stay in every house as long as the wanted him.
    He used to use tweed cloth nearly always. The cloth was bought in Cavan. Sometimes he used to make shirts out of flannenet. He used to make heavy over coats also.
