There were an extraordinary number of deaths that year (4 to 5 times the usual). Entire families were dying. Was there an epidemic or some type of health emergency? The deaths were happening pretty consistently each month. Any input would be appreciated. Grazie! The year was 1817. (I must have had a brain freeze). ;-) Follow Ups:
