- Famine Times.
During the years of the Famine a man usually passed the road by our house. My great grandfather was alive at that time. One day as he was passing he saw my great grandfather curing the roots of turnips.
This man was very poor and was often very hungry as he went in and ate the roots of the turnips. My great grandmother when she saw this gave him a stocking full of oatmeal which her son John brought from the mill but he died afterwards from starvation.
