Thank you so much for the great comments everyone!
Browsing the cemeteries, when available, gives a good barometer of the community and a rough timeline of events and history of the town. It can be a heartbreaking experience as well. It was a hard, hard life then. From what I've seen, you were lucky to make it to adulthood, and if you did, you were lucky to make it to 40. If you were over 50, you had one foot in the grave no matter who you were. Anyone over 70 was an oddity.
