People came to the district and they were so hungry that they ate candles and nettles. People often ate the meat of animals who died from disease. Two girls named O'Sullins came to Droumsullivan and when they were returning to their home in Cousane, they died of hunger on the road.
The famine was fairly severe around the Bantry district, but not as severe as it was in other parts of the country. There is a story told of a man who had a horse, but he was unable to get any food for the horse, so that he died. He skinned the horse and used it as meat. He had a large family, so that the food did not last long and so they died one by one.
