*Written in the remarks column along side the entry for the deaths of these children was recorded the following: "These deceased children were the children of Irish immigrants, who died in Flemingsburg during the prevalence of the cholera. The names are unknown and not furnished by the report of the physician." It appears that there was a cholera epidemic in Fleming County in 1855.
