The typhoid epidemic in Troy (PA) in late 1912f struck the family hard. Edgar, Laura, daughter Cora, son Barton, Barton's wife Zora and their son Russell were all hospitalized. Young Cora, 18 years of age, was the first in the town to die from the disease. Just a few weeks later, typhoid claimed Barton. Apparently Edgar suffered "post-typhoid insanity" and spent the rest of his life in a mental institutioni in Mahoning. Following Barton's death, Zora removed to Knoxvillel, PA, close to her birthplace and worked as a typist. Russell went to live with his maternal grandparents, AMOS E COE and ELLA J CONEn.
