Family of Oliver Augustus Edgeworth (1857-1932)
Oliver Augustus married Louisa R. McMillan (1858-1907). They lived in Chesterfield Co., SC and Union Co., NC. Among their children were the triplets, Agatha, Eola, and Eva.They were born Feb. 26, 1897 and died July 21, 1898 (two sources:(1)Their tombstone at the Old Antioch Methodist Church, Chesterfield County, SC (2)Descendants of Richard Edgeworth by James C Pigg).
I was wondering if anyone knew what happened to these three little girls that caused them all to die on the same day.I was told that they died from typhoid fever, but it seems a little odd to me that all three died on the same day.Perhaps the tombstone was put there later and they couldn't remember the datesand just used the one tombstone out of convenience?Does anyone have any information about them?
