Individual Details

Death

Susanna was a woman of the oden type, was tall and well built, reared a large family and nobly aided her husband's efforts in their struggle with the trials and privations of frontier life. She died suddenly about 1820. That morning she arose early and, while the daughters were preparing breakfast, she went to the creek near by, built a fire and put a large kettle of water to heat for washing. On returning to the house for breakfast she fell dead at the table.
