- 1846 - 47 were the years of the “Famine” in Ireland. The cause of the “Famine” was the failure of the Potato crop.

In many places traces of large villages are seen where the inhabitants were all wiped out by the “famine”. So great indeed was the number dead that coffins could not be procured and the dead were rolled up in blankets or sheets and buried in roughly dug graves. In Boyle a cart went around collecting the dead bodies and the old people say that it was a pitiful sight to see the cart with its tragic load travelling along the street followed by a few famished mourners.
