Today in Family History - 29 Jan

My 4th great-grandmother Nancy Gilleland (Anders line) died on this day in 1870 in Milam County, Texas [1, 2, 3]. She was buried in Hamilton Chapel Cemetery in Milam County [1]. The 1870 United States census mortality schedule indicates she died of liver disease [3], however she died within one month of giving birth to a child so perhaps a complication existed there as well.

My 7th great-grandfather Antoine Trabue, Jr. (Baldwin line) died on this day in 1724 in Manakin, Goochland, Virginia [4]. The location of his grave is not known.

My 5th great-grandfather Moses Spencer (Baldwin line) was born on this day in 1763 in Virginia [2].

Today also marks a very sad anniversary in the Erickson family. On this day in 1934 my grandaunt Olive Irene Erickson drowned in Lake Michigan while ice skating with her fiancĂ© Einor Olson [3, 4]. They ventured out at night on the frozen lake and did not realize they had reached the open water shipping lanes. They apparently skated right off the end of the ice without even a hesitation.
