I am currently filling in holes in my grand daughter's Meek family. I have found where this family (Knox Co TN) had 10 children with only 2 living in 1900. I have found the names of all but one male born Aug 1883. All these babies died by the time they were a year old with the exception of a 13 year old who had TB. One baby died from measles. I find it odd that so many children, in the same family, did not live beyond a few months. Two of the daughters died within 3 days on each other in 1904. I SUSPECT they both had TB as well as their father who died in 1912. (No death certificate for him.) I know typhoid and flu as well as cholera was prevalent in those days. Is their another explanation for so many dying so young from 1881-1900? Just curious. Mary June Foulk Knoxville Tennessee
