- The Famine had no series effect on this district as it had in other districts.
The first thing that appeared was the blight on potatoes. All potatoes in this district were blighted but the farmers had lofts of wheat and oats and carried it to the mill in Killavullen and milled it.
They also had cattle and they killed them. The Landlords were afraid to come onward around here because the roads were in a hollow and mountains at each side and the farmers were on top of the hill and they would attack any land-lord that would pass up or down.
