• Notes

  The Bellville Independent reported on 27 Jun 1895 that four members of t he Daniel Riggle household had been down with measles. The same newspap er reported that Willis Jones had returned to work at H. Alexander's aft er a wrestle with typhoid fever. Sarah told the 1900 and 1910 census she had given birth to six childre n, and 5 were still living; those five included George E. Jones, and thr ee Riggles; since I cannot find Willis Jones anywhere, and he was kno wn to have been suffering from Typhoid Fever in 1895 (as well as being exp osed to measles), it is likely that he is the one who died; Minnie must ha ve married, but I haven't found her marriage information yet.
