    relief to the people till 1847. When the people were fasting for three or four days they took sick and died. Some people were buried in the graveyard and others were buried in the fields near where they died
    The people took the dead bodies to the grave in carts. Their friends were too weak to carry them. The back of the ditches were spotted black with dead and dying people. They had to sell all the grain they had to make up to rent to give to the landlord. They had to scatter their potatoes like corn.
