A number of people in our neighbourhood died of it. It came to our home. My brother William and the hired man took it first and as soon as they got over it then Mother and three of my brothers were all taken down at the same time. Robert in his tenth year, Thompson in his eighth year and Eleazar in his sixth year. They were all very sick. It was harvest time, the milk and the butter had to be attended to, and all the help I had was my sister Hannah in her fourteenth year. The hardest time I ever knew. For two weeks I had no rest neither by day or night. Then they began to recover, all excepting Robert who died on his tenth birthday, the one whom the doctor thought was out of danger, but he took a turn for the worse in the morning and died the next day. He was a delicate boy and I think it had affected his heart." Historical Background The typhus epidemic of 1847/1848 was an outbreak of epidemic typhus caused by a massive Irish emigration in 1847, during the Great Famine, aboard crowded and disease-ridden "coffin ships".
