- (continued from previous page)When the young couple used to be married the woman used to make a confession or promise to the woman that their fathers and mothers would make an oatmeal cake and hit them on the top of the head with it so that they would have full and plenty until the day they would die.
The man would link the woman out of the church so that the two of them would die together.- Collector
