- In the famine of 1846 there was a very poor family living in Murmod. One night the man of the house went into a neighbours house. They had a pot of Indian stirabout on the fire. They took it off and gave him his fill to eat of it. When he had it eaten he got weak. The people of the house would not carry him home. They sent for his son, and he brought him home. He died the next day, and the people who gave him the stirabout was at his funeral.
