Can you describe the first people in Shirdi who became devoted to Sai Baba and the ways they served him?

Chapter 0 introduces Sai Baba's earliest devotees in Shirdi. After being welcomed by Mhalasapati at the Khandoba temple, Maharaj was introduced to Mhalasapati's companions, Kashiram Shimpi and Appa Jagle. The source material explains that all three men became "total devotees of Maharaj." These men already had a history of serving saints and fakirs who visited the village. Chapter 0 highlights that Kashiram, in particular, served Maharaj excellently with his body, mind, and wealth, vowing to provide him with chillum, tobacco, firewood for his Dhuni, and money.
