Nersay Told'Em

Ruc Pascal Comeau she named him after the place where her great great grand uncle was born. She said he was the inventer of the "clinchmens Clasp" a large button that secures the front of a ruffed shirt. He and his son invented the thing because the mans mistress threatened to tell his wife of his misdeeds if he didn't take in to town to buy a new dress. Well the fella got one of his friends to make her a dress but the top sagged in all the wrong places. The fella went and got a Brass mould and made the 'clasp' and polished it to a shine, to appease the woman. It was said to have caused alot of attention at the parties wear she wore the dress.The dress was said to flow into the night and the clasp gave it the greatest compliment.
