  1. (continued from previous page)
    She asked him how was a man named "Goode" whose wife died. She said she was very sorry to bring that woman, from her family, she said she had to do it because the gentry could bring people in those times, and especially women after childbirth. One night "Goode" was visiting a house, and a man came in telling him that he saw his wife. He went to the place the man told but he was disappointed. "Goode" said then that she was in the fairies. This happened about 60 years ago. Biddy disappeared, and where she went to nobody knows.
