New York Folklore Journal Vol. 5, Nos. 3-4#151;Contents

From NEW YORK FOLKLORE (Vol. 5, Nos. 3-4):
"It was early evening and the wake for Tim was in noisy progress, with the small house filled to capacity. Neighbors had responded to the untimely passing of Tim (he was only 38) and the pantry shelves were stacked with food brought in by the many sympathizers. Mrs. O’Brien wouldn’t have to cook for at least a week, it seemed. There were large baked hams, scalloped potatoes by the panfuls, salads, several loaves of fresh bread, cakes, and some mince, apple and pumpkin pies. But more important to the affair, there was an ample supply of Irish whiskey and apple jack."—Donald J. Sawyer ("Sleigh Ride for a Corpse")
