- The district was thickly populated before the famine. People still point out houses that at that time were occupied and are now in ruins.
Some of the potatoes decayed in the ground and some that did not decay in the ground were afterwards put into pits and decayed also. There was no account of the seed potatoes.
The people had oat meal instead, Some very poor people got Government relief.
