It breaks my heart. My 3rd great grandfather remarried just a few months later, I'm assuming to have someone to help him raise his 4 daughters. They went on to have 5 more children and were married for 40 years. And during that time he was off serving in the Civil War. It's amazing the stories we learn about our ancestors.Debi Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409492643470603926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-65551584070814047782014-02-25T04:27:14.229-08:002014-02-25T04:27:14.229-08:00It's funny how cause of death is listed on dea...It's funny how cause of death is listed on death certificates.

It tells you a lot about his character. Not only was Christopher a devoted husband but I bet he also was a terrific dad!
