| From "Historical Sketches of Pochahontas County" by William T. Price - Blanche died of membranous croup, in her father's absence, and the house being isolated by deep water, the mother could get no assistance from the neighbors on that sad day. (Ed. Note - this conflicts with the cause listed as appendicitis). |
