- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)The Famine.
The Famine in this district was not very severe as the people did not depend entirely on the potatoes. They had cattle and sheep on the mountain. They often bled the cattle to help to sustain the family.
The district was not very thickly populated. But places are pointed out where people dropped dead of hunger. At Altanure Bridge a women dropped dead crossing the field. In Altachullion a young girl asked Tom McGoldrick, an uncle of Phil Ruadh, for a leaf of cabbage and dropped dead immediately after eating a piece of it.
The fever broke out after the Famine and in Gubrawoolly an old shed was used in which those suffering were left to die.
