    2. Sue Renkert
    3. My great-grandfather, Peter Brillhart, died in Aaronsburg, in 1855 at the age of 32. He died before 11-6-1855 and probably before 10-18-1855. Apparently his wife Mary died before him. (She was still alive in the 1850 census.) Does anyone know whether there was an epidemic of typhoid or some other disease in Centre County around this time? This young couple left young children behind, and most likely some sort of disease was a factor. Thanks for any ;ight anyone can shed on this. Sue Fairbanks, Alaska 1 below today
