   There was a teacher in this locality some 60 or 70 years ago named Devine. He was only a boy of 20 or less when he first came to the district and he went about with all the young boys and he was a general favourite
   He was a great wit and fond of all kinds of enjoyment and no gathering was complete without his presence.
