- In olden times a blacksmith lived in Kilmyshall. His name was Jack Kavanagh. He used to make spades ploughs and harrows. He made them out of iron. The old people used to spin wool. My grandmother spun wool and knitted stockings out of it.
A Nailer lived in Ballypracus. He made nails out of steel rod. He used to put the steel rod into the fire and when it would be red he would take it out and he used a big stone one which he hammered the iron. Some of the old people made their own candles out of rushes. The old people used to make baskets of sallie boughs.- Collector
