Francis is male, Frances is female. Keep in mind that up until the late 60’s, women used their husband’s name on whatever she needed to sign, like letters. It would be: Mrs. John Smith. There was also abbreviations for men’s names that are not used anymore: Jn=John, Mk=Mark, Jms=James. Rbt =Robert. Lee=male, Leigh=female. In case you run into some old newspapers or graves. And I don’t know, maybe I’m really old but kids don’t know 2nd for second or 1st for first, or 3rd for third. I feel like a relic. Our area is heavy German immigrants. Names were Americanized. My great grandfather was born Francis and died as Frank.

A small cemetery in Chappell Hill, Texas (northwest of Houston) caught my eye many years ago because so many people died in the summer of 1867. There are graves of many civil war soldiers, and I thought it was so sad they survived the war only to die of disease a few short years after they got home. I found out later it was a yellow fever epidemic. We really have forgotten just how hard our ancestors had it, as if those years were just one long craft show or something. What a shame to take those lives and their struggles for granted.

My great grandmother lost 3 children in two weeks. Dypyheria. My grandfather and his brother were in a military school at the time. He said that saved them being away, but his poor mother. Her husband had been murdered and then 10 years later, three children dead. So sad.

@@RepublicTX Absolutely! My great grandmother parceled some kids out to family, and those left at home, she made a living selling eggs to the train that came through. She sewed (by hand of course)as well. She got a Singer pedal sewing machine in the 1920’s and thought it was the greatest thing ever invented. It’s in my family room and sews a beautiful stitch.

There was no hardship except that they were living in the wrong lands, and you are, right now. There's many many reasons for your unsuccessful society that go unseen by settlers, because they don't live in reality. Your society is also suffering many many tragedies and mysterious problems because again, you're in the wrong lands. There was ALWAYS going to be a reckoning for you guys, because we the indigenous, have been rooted to the land since time immemorial. We don't want you here; you all need to go home.

As a kid we lived across the street from the local cemetery. I went over there once, just looking at the old grave markers. At the entrance to the older part of the cemetery there was a line of graves from the same family. It was the mother and a number of children, from a baby up to kids elementary school age. They all died within a few days of each other in the summer of 1879. The father was buried on the end of the line, he having passed several years later. Wondering what might have caused their deaths, I went to the local library and found a book published in 1921, the history of the county. Took some looking but finally found a brief mention of a typhoid epidemic in the county at the time the family was wiped out. I assume that was the cause of their deaths. Life wasn't easy back then.

When disease outbreaks started the people fell like grain before the scythe. My GG grandparents lost 3 little daughters in 6 days to diphtheria, not a disease usually mentioned in historical accounts. When you're homesteading in Dakota Territory your options are limited for health care, IF a doctor was within a day's ride from your homestead. I'm not sure how diphtheria was diagnosed but it was in 1890 so I think diagnosis was easier in 1890 than in 1870 when they arrived on the prairie. They lost another daughter a few years before the triple death but no idea of the cause. If you weren't getting sick, dying from childbirth, raided by Sioux Indians then your horses would kick you. Can't imagine a horsekick breaking the thigh/hip of farmer homesteader. A kick to the head will drop you like a hot rock and you won't get back up. Dying from horse kicks was a Top 3 cause of death from the 1870s to 1900 local newspapers.

A similar deadly event happened to the family of my 4 x great-grandfather. He and his son emigrated to America from Germany in the mid-1700’s. The following year the rest of his sons followed, and they all found places to settle nearby. Staying behind in Germany was his wife and their daughters, who were to immigrate the following year or so. Tragically, a terrible illness swept through them, and they all died. I wish that I knew what the illness was that killed so many people. Typhoid could certainly have done it, but I just don’t know. 😞

That's very true and I believe some diseas were also seasonal. My 2x great grandfather lost 4 children to diptheris in 2 weeks one winter. The 3 youngest childten he had with his first wife ( they had 6) and his 1st child with his second wife. She had recently delivered their second child. She and the newborn survived. I can't even begin to understand how they recovered from so much loss. I hope they had strong faith in the Lord.

But they all have gates, in my experience. Speaking of holly trees, the largest ones I've ever seen were in the Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, VA. They were as large as my shoulders are broad. Amazing. Also those yucca plants in your cemetery are the tallest I've ever seen. They are in most old cemeteries here in NJ, but I've never seen them grow up a stem above the ground.

@@Redricewilson I know some of the local wheelers and probably know you! I grew up in greensboro, I have an electrical buisness there! My dad was born in 1925 and just turned 98! He has given me a history lesson my whole life riding all the roads of greene co! So I've become a big history buff of local history! I'm not as good as EH Armor was but I've studied alot!

Todays world/society has forgotten how much more easily we actually have it. Without these people we couldn't have made the advances of our society.

I wonder if the steps made it easier for a wagon to back up to and for the the people to unload the coffins ?

I saw another KZbinr that visits old cemetaries in TN use shaving cream on the old stones to be able to read them easier. She said it doesn't harm the stones at all. Just thought I'd pass the info on. Thanks for the history!

I appreciate it - but most headstone preservationists do not recommend using shaving cream due to the chemicals in it can be harmful to certain types of old stone.

I found four graves in a local cemetery. A young boy and girl an parents I'm their 30s. Al four died the same day in the 1960s. I did research and found that they died in a boating accident on the nearby Potomac River. Later I spoke to members of their family who I knew and they shared the details with me. One commented that it was a sad day for their family.
