    1. [IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL] Clark County: Wood Brothers Died
    2. Randi Richardson via
    3. New Orleans (LA) Times-Picayune, November 14, 1851, p. 1. The Louisville Courier mentions a singular incident that occurred recently near Jeffersonville, Ind. There were two brothers named Wood living there. One of them was taken suddenly sick a few days ago, and in the short space of one hour from his attack he died. His friends made the necessary funeral arrangements, and the grave was about half dug when information was sent to the gravedigger that the other brother was dying, and he was instructed to make the grave large enough for both, which was barely accomplished before the second brother died, and they were buried in one common grave. The brothers were in apparent health to within an hour of their deaths. It was reported that they died of cholera, but it was strongly suspected that foul play had been used, and that they were poisoned. The coroner had been summoned, and an inquest was to be held.
