His sister, Ada Aseneth "Cenie" Acrey also contracted the disease, however she, fortunately, survived. His youngest child, a son, by his marriage to Clella was born two months before he died. Due to his illness, he was never able to hold his child, however, before he died he was able to view the baby thru a window.
