  1. Death of Tom Coen
    Tom Coen was a great story teller and I have all his stories written in a folk-lore book. I am very sorry for him and all the winter I sat by the fire listening to all the stories as I would not be tired listening. He was so good he would spend hours telling them and if I stayed he would stay all night telling them. I think he had the best in this district but when he was getting sick I could not get any story from him.
