- The famine and Rebellion of 98Mrs Caffrey told me she often heard the old people speak of the famine year "Black forty seven"
The crops failed, the corn smutted and the potatoes rotted in the ground. Consequently people died like flies from hunger, and disease.
Kilbeggan like all other towns over Ireland had a large number of its population wiped out completely. Many who could afford to do so hooked it to America, but the who emigrated had no worry or care on them.
