  1. Folklore 19-10-'38
    Famine
    Long ago most of the people died with hunger. There was hardly any tea in them times. They used to make the bread out of oatenmeal. An in them times they had no jackets, what they used to wear was banies made out of flannon They were no lamps nor no kind of oil what they had for lights was bog deal. It used to be cut up in pieces and the people in their turns had to hold one of the pieces in their hands.
