    Mr Raftery made gates for the local people. If anyone was getting married he usually brings a blacksmith to the wedding. If not it is said he would have no luck.

  3. Clothes

    Share Share Post
    There is a tailor living near Irishtown. His name is James Hunae. He lives his fathers house. He works in a room for himself and he employs another [?] also. When a person wants a new suit he has to buy the cloth in the shop.
    The "tailors goose" is an iron which the tailor uses for pressing clothes. James Huanes father, Austin, used to go from house to house long ago making clothes but he does not do so now because he is too old.
