John Mooney (78 years) Derinturn, Carbury, tells me he often saw Miss Murphy melting tallow and grease and passing it into moulds to make candles.He remembers also seeing a spinning wheel being worked at Farrell's cottage in Ballyshannon (about a quarter mile from Derinturn School). The spinning wheel was worked by a travelling woman, he says.It was interesting to hear from John Mooney that the wheels were made by a local tradesman Larry Flanagan whom the people called a wheelwright.
