In Response To: Multiple Child Deaths in Adams (Laura Lincoln)

There was a worldwide Spanish flu epidemic in 1889-1890.

Typhoid and smallpox outbreaks were also common at this time. Have you tried searching the Adams county news archives to see if they mention an epidemic or possibly have obituaries for these ancestors?

I've found some very helpful info in these archives. Good luck!
