- Famine 24-11-'38There was a great hunger in the country the time of the famine. The people managed to get seed the following year by digging up the soil where the oats grew the previous year. Some of the people got seed in from foreign countries. There did a lot of people die during the famine. The people lived on oatmeal the time of the Famine. There did so many people die that time that they had to be buried in the fields.Writer: Mary Raftery
