- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)gathered cattle into this place and took a certain amount of blood out of them. This did the beasts no harm. This blood was cooked and given to the starving people. The famine affected our district very much because potatoes were the main food of the people. They were taken for breakfast, dinner and supper and when the crop failed the people were in starvation. The district was more thickly populated before Famine Times.The potatoes decayed in the ground. There is no account as where they got seed for the next year. Some say they got seed from other countries for the next year. Government relief did not reach our district. Great sickness followed the famine and a great deal of the people died and more emigrated to America and other parts. The poor Irish were to be found everywhere after the famine.
In Magheramore there are two old houses yet which have been standing since the Famine times. One of them is John Kearney's and the other is Paddy McClure's. The Famine affected this district very much also but some of the people got away before the Famine was at its height. Others died of hunger.
