It is believed that my great-grandfather Edward William Young moved his family to Palo Pinto Co., From Lee County TX to work as a n railroad dispatcher He was in Lee County in 1880, working as a dispatcher. and died July 1 1882 according to the Family Bible that I have. The family was in Mineral Wells in 1881-1882 dating from some pictures taken at Clogerson's in Mineral Wells. In the history of Mineral Wells, is there documentation of any epidemics of Typhoid or Cholera that would have killed a 31 year old man. On 6 January 1890, his widow Bettie Jane married William Hittson, in Nolan Co., TX and they were on the 1900 census in Palo Pinto Co. living in Mineral Wells with a nine year old daughter Adela. My grandfather, Stephen N Young, was Edward and Bettie Jane's youngest child and born after the 1880 Lee County Census and was a dispatcher for the RR as well. Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated. Susan Young Medford OR
