  1. In the townland of Glosternin there lived a man of the man named James Donnelly. He was a great hand at making churns and tubs. He brought the ash trees and got them made into boards and out of them he made the churns and tubs. The churns and tubs that he made lasted twice as long as the ones were long as the ones we buy. He charged a pound for every churn he made and about four and sixpence for every tub he made.
