  1. Jack Wilson is the best known tramp around our district. He is an olive skinned man. He travels around with his wife and children.
    He stays three days in every townland. He lives in a tent along the roadside. In the day time he goes about looking for alms. He asks for flour, Soda and milk. Sometimes he asks for pieces of candles.
