Hello, I came accross these very interesting but very sad doctor's reports of the cholera epidemic of 1873, Woodville, McCracken Co., KY and other counties. It goes case by case with pretty good info you may be looking for. Listed was a Mr.Sink and Mrs. Sink and a young child. It also lists Mrs. Sink's mother, brothers,half sister. This epidemic unfortunatly killed five out of eight family members and everyone else was very sick. If anyone can shed light on this Sink line please let me know, for I beleive that they are my ggg-grandmother, gg-grandfather, gg-grandmother, and the young child to be my g-grandmother, I think she was about 2. I don't know who took the young child but, this child ends up in Missouri, gets married, has 2 kids and dies at age 20. Possible Collins, Rogers, Benton connection. Please help if you can, Thanks. If anyone wants to read the articles, they are at http://files.usgwarchives.org/ky/state/cholera/258_264.txt.
