- (continued from previous page)some people about this district died of hunger. Some of the people had to eat boiled weeds. They were told not to sow any potatoes the next year. They used to boil the oatmeal and milk and eat it. No one helped the people the time of the famine. There was no shortage of food on account of the potatoes rotting since the famine.
