They say you can't cheat death, and when your time is up its up, and for those on this list it was so.
The names on this list were taken from County Histories and Biographies.
I know many of you know when your ancestor died, but may not know how they died.
The information is short maybe only a line, but its always fun to see ones ancestors name in print.
