There are some people (Whitney family) who had these deaths: (Emily and Silsby Whitney were siblings.) - Emily Whitney (wife of Orlo Towne), died at Stowe in 1874. - Silsby Whitney and his wife, Mary (Knapp) Whitney both died in May and March 1879, respectively.? I found their children (Minnie and Henry) living with another family in 1880. I don't have death records on these individuals to see if they list the cause of the death. I know there were a lot of epidemics and sicknesses/diseases in these early times, but I'm not familiar with what diseases were most prevalent during this particular time period Thanks! ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2009 12:04:49 -0600 From: " Westerfield" <westerfield@charter.net> Subject: Re: [VERMONT] Important message re: current politics on Vermont-L To: <vermont@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <7E7AC95D410D43A788239013A4D96B25@GEORGE> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original Thank you for trying to keep this list on topic.

Even in World War 2 it happened on rare occasion. However, a 12 year old would have to be *very* mature for his age.... There are exceptions, in the colonial period and I think possibly into the War of 1812. Those are drummers and water boys. Your best bet for resources would probably be general works on the Army during that war.
