Crawfordsville Weekly Review 23 April 1881 -- "Over the River" -- In the Chippewa Minn Leader of March 5 we find the statement of the terrible affliction of the family of Mr. Samuel Lucas. He had a family of 9 children, one of which took down with diphteria, and within 3 or 4 days the whole family of children were taken down with the disease. In one week six of the children were dead, the youngest, aged 3 years dying on Monday night and the eldest, a young lady of 20 on Friday. The six children were buried in one grave. Mr. Lucas is well known in this city, his wife being a niece of David and James Lee.
