    If a person stole anything from a blacksmith's shop the blacksmith would turn the anvil and say a few certain prayers. The person that stole the article would not get any ease until he would restore it.

  2. Tailors

    Share Share Post
    There are two tailors in Bonniconlon. Their names are John Cowley from Bonniconlon and Pat Hope from Cloonta.
    They work at home now. One time they used to go from house to house sewing with their hands. They don't make any clothes for selling. They have machines now
