- Famine Times.
In the times of the Famine the people died in great numbers. The most of the people died of hunger, but some died of diseases. The potatoes decayed in the ground. They used to eat sea fish and turnips. The people who buried died in my district were buried in an old graveyard called the Cill. It is in a place called the Reen.
