This child was one of 3 cousins, about 1-2 years old, who died with 2 months of each other in 1877. Allen Caldwell Bell, son of Dr. J.T. Bell and America Amanda (Mecca Caldwell) Bell; Etie May Bell, daughter of Dr. J. K. Bell and Grizella Ann (Zella Caldwell) Bell; and Henry Alvy Caldwell, son of J. H. Caldwell and Alma Ann (Jones) Caldwell. They were all the grandchildren of Robert Allen Caldwell and Mary Rennick (Holman) Caldwell who were living nearby when these grandchildren died. There is no passed down family lore that I know of, about what caused their death. Being a grandfather myself, I can only imagine the sadness. Tom M. Short II, first cousin twice removed from little Allen, and descendant of R.A. and Mary R. Caldwell.
