- The bride was expected to take to her new home the following articles
(1) A feather tick
(2) 3 or 4 sheets
(3) 2 or 3 pillow-slips
(4) A blanket
and (5) most important of all a red flannel quilt. These latter are still to be seen in some houses. They were mostly home-made articles and were of such strength and durability as to be practically unwearable. They were quite stiff - in striking contrast to the light, soft eider-downs which are now found in most houses in the district, except, of course in the houses of the poor.21/12/38- Collector
