- The people long ago lived on grass and pieces of turnips and leaves of trees in the famine times. There was about eight or nine millions of people. My father said that there is a Ruin of a house in the back of my garden. The potatoes decayed mostly in pits. It is said the seed came from another country. The Government made the people cut down the trees to make roads and paid them for it. There was a great number of people died after the famine.
