According to legend, this entire family died of cholera in 1849. John is said to have been William's brother, but he could also have been his father. The legend says two old Irishmen were given a gallon of whiskey to drag the bodies out and bury them, and then the cabin was burned to the ground. The remnants of a stone foundation where the house stood can be seen. At each corner there is a tombstone. |
