--=======6EEF7939======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-62797008; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Does anyone know if there was an epidemic of typhus in the Cooperstown area about 1810? My ancestor Abner Pier and 4 (maybe 5 of his children all died, from Nov 24 1810-Jan 15 1811. The term epidemic was used in Isaac K. Williams' column in the paper, but I don't know if there were other families affected, or just mine.
