Per The Brewster Genealogy, by Emma C. Brewster Jones, they had 11 children.The following children died in infancy/childhood and I have not found any record of where they were buried or the reason for their death at so young of age: An unnamed son: 14 Dec 1877 to 22 Dec 1877 Amy Brewster: 2 Jul 1883 to 16 Feb 1885 James Savage Brewster: 24 Sep 1884 to 14 Jul 1886 Inez Brewster: 16 Oct 1889 to 17 Oct 1893 Would anyone have access to a newspaper of the day or another source of info that would be willing to check for this info? I could not find a burial record for them at the Thayer Cemetery where many of their relatives are buried. Would it be common for that period for young children to be buried on the family homestead?Also would anyone know if there were any epidemics during the years 1877-1893? Is there any sources you would recommend I check? (I live on the west coast) Thank you, B. Brewster
