- During the year called the Black '47, people waked to Ballydehob, where the local depot for Indian meal was.
One day as Mrs O'Driscoll, Dreenlomane, was returning from town, she was met by a horse pulling dead bodies, which were picked up from the wayside, and cast into the cart with the others. She compared the bodies to "Fir Scolbs" at sight. They were without distinction when cast into a pit at Stuaic graveyard.- Collector
