BessiePORTER in finding out about her family. She has been told that LafayetteFOREST died in a
typhoid epidemic sometime between 1917 and 1923. She andthree of her siblings were placed in an

thather twin brother, Louis H., went to live with Louis and Gemima FORESTrather than the
orphanage. No death certificate has been found forLafayette FOREST, nor does he appear in the
census as an adult in KY, OH,VA or WV, although it is said he never left the Elliott Co.

records of a typhoid epidemic in this time frame that couldhelp us find death records on
Lafayette?Any help would be appreciated!--Sheryl Slaughter
