Lucinda Brown was the middle of five children of Jacob & Sarah Brown. She was almost 2-1/2 when she died of measles. The death register for that census year had many children and some adults dead of dysentary with a note at the bottom of the page about a particular creek, farming and the problem being seasonal. There did not appear to be others who died of measles.

Sarah must have been pregnant with Annie E. Brown when Lucy had measles.

A death such as this should give pause to those who think that vaccinations are not needed.
