- Long long ago there was a great plague of sickness in this district, parish of Kilcommon, Co. Tipperary. It was about one hundred years ago. It was said it was from the cold weather. About one hundred people died that time. The people were not buried in graveyards at all , they used only dig a hole in the earth and throw dead bodies into the hole.
