- Long ago in the time of the famine there was a man living in Coulagh. His name was Patrick Shea. He lived west from our house. He was very poor for he had no farm. He had three daughters and a son. The three daughters died of the hunger. The father and the son dug a grave, before the grave was dug the son died, and the father put the four into the one grave, and he himself lay down beside the grave and died.
