3 sisters buried beside each other, Bertha, Zuleine, and Gwendolyn.
From the Rensselaer, Indiana Republican newspaper, Friday, Jan. 23, 1880, page 3, col. 3
A little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Clifton, aged about seven years, died Tuesday night last of Dyphtheria. At the present time this is the most sadly bereaved family known. This is the third child that has been carried to the grave within the past three weeks, and but one is now left to the ravages of this terrible disease. The parents have the sympathy of the entire community, but sympathy will not weigh in the balance against the loss of three darling children. Consolation cannot be obtained except throught the hope of enjoying their society forever in the spirit world, when the happiness of that glorious reunion will effectually obliterate the sorrow of life.
