  2. Epidemic

    Share Share Post
    About seventy years ago a great epidemic broke out in this locality. It was a disease in the throat like the Diptheria and was called "Cunzee" by the old people. It caused many deaths in my townland and my mother told me that in one of her neighbour's houses six children died in a fortnight. There was no cure for it except boiling herbs which old women picked.
