peasant resided In Great Gonerby who
eked out a modest livelihood by per-
forming on an old violin which was
almost part Of his life. At last he
decided to emigrate and out in the
far west prospered and became rich
man.
One day he sent to the clergyman at
Great Gonerby a sum sufficient to
build church and attached to the
gift the curious condition that metal
replica Of his old fiddle and bow should
be on the summit of the edince. The
gift was accepted and the vane may
still be seen on the church.
