- Wakes
The old people used to be very merry at wakes long ago. Those who came to a wake could not leave the house without taking a drink or the people would not be satisfied. They also used to get a clay pipe and an ounce of tobacco to smoke. If they left the house without smoking they were not liked by the relatives of the deceased person. 1-10 Same as on page 24- Collector
