Ditto the praise to Troy. There is a list of some of the doctors that died in the 1888 yellow fever scurge in articles on pgs. 58-59 in the recent Morgan Co. Heritage book. This information was researched and provided by the same Ivydene Simpson Walls of Hartselle that Troy mentioned. Those articles state that five doctors died, several of whom had survived the 1878 epidemic: Dr. R. C. Bowman, died 9/21/1888, Dr. W. B. Black, died 10/2/1888, Dr. William Gardner Gill, died 10/6/1888, Dr. R. V. Williams, died 10/8/1888, and Dr. W. J. Young who died 10/30/1888. I was a little surprised to read in her article that only 35 of the 110 people contracting the disease between September 3 and November 3, 1888 had died, as in my asundry family collection it seems that there were *many* multiple deaths during that time. At the same time, life was difficult, at best, back then... and death seemed to visit more often. Hope someone finds this interesting.
