  2. Severe Weather

    Share Share Post
    In the time of the "big snow" whch was in the year 1917 people suffered great hardship. A woman named Mrs Connors of Little Cullenstown died, and the snow was so high on the roads that the people had to carry the coffin across the fields to Adamstown Cemetery. This was not an easy job and some of the carriers were almost dead before they got there.
    Another girl by the name of Annie Brien of Hayestown died at the same time and was buried in Adamstown also. Some of the men had to shovel the roads in order to get out. Some of the snow did not melt for about two months.
