in about 1913. Marguerite died on January 21, 1919 of the flu.
Joseph Mitchell also died of flu on January 26, 1919. This must have
been the great World War I post war flu epidemic. James Lowell also

and pneumonia in Providence Hospital, Washington D.C. they are all
buried in St. Joseph's RCC in Morganza, Maryland, except Frank who is
