  2. Hats Made From Wool

    Share Share Post
    Where Mrs. Julia Behan's shop now stands, there lived a woman named Mrs. Boyle, who made men's hats from wool. She dyed the wool, and put it on block, and then formed the hats, which she sold to all the farmers in the district.
    About sixty or seventy years ago, Mrs. Doyle, and her sister Mrs. Carroll, emigrated to America.
