- Old people say that there was a great famine there long ago. It started in the year 1845. It happened because the potato crop failed. It was not bad until 1847, and the potatoes failed and the people called that year "black forty-seven". Many people starved with the hunger because they had no food. The people started to emigrate to Foreign countries and a good many of them died. The people in Turkey sent over Indian meal to Ireland to have the people eat it. When the people used stand on the pits to take out potatoes they used fall down through them because the potatoes used be rotten and empty inside in them.
