- There were people in Cappa, Dunmore in the time of the famine. The potatoes did not grow and some of the people around her went to England and America. There are three old ruins of houses in Cappa. The three houses are knocked and the families are in America. People ate bread instead of potatoes and next year they ploughed up the land to get some potatoes. The roads were made around. People died both of hunger and plague.
