- There is a tucker's mill in the downland of Monageenagh long ago. There was a man living in a little house there. He gathered wool from the people around that place. Then he spun it and sold it to a tailor nearby who made clothes of it.
Long ago there were no lamps or candles. The people used rushed wrapped in fat instead. These candles only lasted for about an hour. In every house there were spinning wheels. The people spun their own wool as there was no machinery at that time.- Collector
