Hi Listers: To Pat who was asking about diseases in Schuyler Co. I will include at the bottom of this note what I have found relating to the diseases. It seems to be an earlier time frame than what you were asking about, tho. Robin is doing a great job on her page, the diseases will be included in the Rushville History. A lot of the other histories have been posted, along with lots of other new things. If you haven't checked out her pages yet, then do so! The histories aren't all up yet, but keep checking, a new one has been posted about every day. She has other items of intersest that has been newly added to her list! Also, to the ones researching the Manlove surname. In the county histories, I have seen that name mentioned a lot! The cholera in July, 1834, swooped down with its pinion of death and proved a besom of destruction to many in the Rushville settlement. The town then contained seven or eight hundred inhabitants, and so virulent was the disease that most of them fled to other parts of the country. Only about three hundred were left to take care of the sick and dying. Over a hundred afflicted, and nearly one half proved fatal. Happy Hunting, Carol
