Children who died were son, John C who died 30 June 1888 (of flux) and son Edward and daughter Laura who died 23 Sep 1891 (per gravestone but I wonder if this is correct and could be the wrong year as Laura's obit one month earlier only mentions a 3 year old daughter) His wife, Laura, died of sepsis 31 August 1891.
