- Stories of the Famine
When a person would die during the famine would one wheel them on a wheelbarrow t the graveyard.
One day Má Corcorcan from Fairymont and some other person went wheeling a corpse to Tibohine graveyard. When they landed they were very tired and Má said I wish I had a pipe and a bit of tobacco. When she looked she saw them on a tombstone beside her.- Collector
