  Text: Traveller "Hi- pull her up Man! Don't you see the Mare is running away"
Paddy "Hould tight, yer Onor For yer life don't touch the Reins sure they're as rotten as pears I'll turn her into the River below here Sure that'll stop her"

After Thomas Churchyard's death his daughters turned their hands to various means of earning a living. Selling decorated doilies for as little as 1/- each was one small contribution during period 1865-1879.
