  1. Famine (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    First the potatoes failed to grow and the cows did not give as much milk as they used to give and the hens ceased to lay. The famine started in 1845, and it lasted 1848. The people lived on "Indian Meal" which they got in any little shop in the district.
    A good many of the people sold some of their hens, or whatever they had to sell for their passage to America. In the time of the famine Galway had a population of 30,000 but now they have only 20,000 people.
