   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   The Drokabawn fever occurred in the year of one thousand nine hundred and twelve. About eleven people died and nine more were sick and recovered. One woman was sick and recovered with a withered hand and is lame for the remainder of her life.
   At first the local doctor said it was a bad cold. Then a doctor was sent for by the local Government Board and when he examined them he said it was typhoid fever. The first person that took it was sent to a Mental Hospital and was dead in a few days.
   This disease was said to have sprung from old clothes which was bought from some place where the fever had previously been. The fever lasted for three months and the people were afraid to visit the sick as it was a very infectious disease.
   The national school of Cullies was closed for three months as some of the children were sick with the fever. A specialist doctor from Dublin advised the people to whitewash their houses and keep them clean.
