   The old people tell many stories about the famine times. They suffered a good deal with the hunger and a great many of them died. In those times the people had nothing to eat when the potatoe crop failed but yellow meal stirabout. When they sat the seed they all rotted in the ground.
   After the famine there was a class of potatoes called the champions and it was a great relief to the poor people. In all their hunger they got no relief from the Government. Neither would they let any food into Ireland. It is said that they were carried in cart loads from Dunmanway Hospital to Fonlabush grave-yard. They died by the side of the fences. The old people say there is great difference between these times and the present times.
