I was just rereading over some bios that people on this list sent in last August giving a brief history of who they were and were they lived. I noticed that a couple of you mentioned when you were small and visited your grandparents or great-grandparents, that the yard was picked clean of grass. Why was that? Another question: I have found several Askins in Dixon Cemetery, haven't determined if they are of my line yet. But I noticed that there were three children in the same family who died in 1910. A 5-year old died Jan 1910, a 3year old died Oct 25, 1910, and a son died at birth May 1910. Was there some epidemic that hit the county in that year? Thanks for reading, Sandra
