- They used to gather about five or six bunches of rushes and take the green skin off them. Then they would tie both end of the bunch. Then they would dip each bunch in grease. They would then put the bunches of rushes that was dipped in the greae up in a [?] until they would get dry. When they would get dry the people would get a big of a board and they would put four nails in the board to hold the rush-candles.
More people would have a clip attached to the the board.- Collector
