Hi Jean, Obviously you already have the text from "The History of the Early Settlement of Norton County, Kansas". I don't have any information here at home about cemeteries/burials in Norton. Try writing to Walta Russ, Norton County Genealogy Society, 322 West Lincoln, Norton KS 67654-1942. She does ask for a small donation for the genealogy society, and she does NOT have email or internet access. Once you have a date of death for the children, you can order newspapers on microfilm from Kansas State Historical Society. See their web site at http://www.kshs.org/library/news.htm The newspaper would probably be the best source for information about the scarlet fever epidemic.
