Dear Wayne, I am going to send your message to my sisters, who are keeping up with the current records of our family's genealogy. I have a first cousin named Wayne Allen DuBose in Brownfield (West) Texas. I was born in Brownfield, and there are many of us in that area near and around Lubbock. Please take a look at a Web page that has photos from an old family album... Most of the photos were from Georgia and Alabama. We are hoping someone can identify the individuals in the photos.

Alarming Mortality at Fall River Fall River, MA. July 26. The death rate of the city has increased alarmingly during the past seven weeks, principally among children whose parents belong to the poorer classes. Eighty-eight cases of cholera infantum have resulted fatally since June 1, none of the victims being over a year old. The greatest mortality has occurred in Ward Six, where the sewerage system is not perfect. The Board of Health does not attribute the spread of mortality to this cause, however, but to neglect in care and the crowded condition in tenement houses. Nearly twice as many deaths have taken place among the French as among any other nationality. Two Innocent Men Shot Cheyenne,WY. July 26. Yesterday morning Wallace LINK and T. BAKER of the Sheriff's posse, in pursuit of two Laramie City jail breakers, shot two innocent workmen, Daniel PULLION and Charles COOLEY, surface graders on the Cheyenne and Northern Pacific Road. Both will probably die. When the deputies rode in sight of PULLION and COOLEY they thought that they were the escaped prisoners. They shot at them and ordered them to halt. The graders were terrified and started to run, when they were shot down. A mob of 100 graders and track layers pursued the deputies and threatened to lynch them.

This came through my WILLETT mailing list. I thought it was very informative. In case you ever wondered why a large number of your ancestors disappeared during a certain period in history, this might help. Epidemics have always had a great influence on people - and thus influencing, as well, the genealogists trying to trace them. Many cases of people disappearing from records can be traced to dying during an epidemic or moving away from the affected area.

This is a great collection of on-line documents. Check out the Writer's Project stories and the Dust Bowl era stories, especially. I didn't find any of my ancestors or relatives here, but maybe you'll see someone you know. Also, the richness of the detail and descriptions of the eras are wonderful. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/amhome.html Melissa
