- A half - witted man in the neighbour hood made a song on the Famine, one verse is remembered. "July the first in Carnowen town,
There was a hungry battle.
Where many a man sat on the stones
And hammers he did rattle."A man was found lying dead in the hedge at Kilnamaddy during the famine period. He was opened by a Doctor and there was nothing in his stomach but a half pint of water.- Informant
