Carolyn and I talked often about our Stark ancestors and Irish Palatines. We most recently shared Carolyn Heald's new book. And she kept good jokes coming, despite family illnesses. What a great lady! I always wanted to visit her and didn't. There is a life's lesson. My prayers are with her family and many friends.

The three sisters were buried at Blooming Rose cemetery all in the same grave. That must have been a very hard time for the family.????????????

I can only guess it was the influenza that wiped them out. --- On Sun, 9/20/09, Joe & Erin Hartman <wegotrocks@verizon.net> wrote: From: Joe & Erin Hartman <wegotrocks@verizon.net> Subject: Re: [MDGARRET] epidemics To: mdgarret@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, September 20, 2009, 9:58 PM It happened in those days. Between the period you mentioned, and about the mid-1890s, epidemics of (especially) influenza (the flu) raged in the East. I happened to run onto the records and be commenting on a family named Hart that had three children die of influenza in on day. One of the older ladies in the Preston county (WV) court house once told me that about 60% of the county died of influenza within a 20 - 25 year period, just after the Civil War. Your period - depending on where your ancestors were - could have been during one of those.
