    store is now and there was another one near the Labour Exchange.
    There was a graveyard in Keeffe's orchard in Castlehyde and the famine victims were buried there.
    The coffin which was used at that time was called the "sliding coffin". The bottom would fall out when burying a person. It was used because there were not enough of coffins made.
