Notes |
- According to Lorette Drollinger Dugas (sister to Earl), Earl died in 1896 at the age of 7 years old from spinal meningitus!
Gordon must have the wrong 'Earl Drollinger' as husband to Hester Hahn! Ref Sidney Drollinger and article written by Loretta Drollinger Dugas.
"Sidney and Eva Drollinger's children were Earl, James, Edith, and Loretta. In 1896, Earl died when he was seven years old, and James, when he was three. The boys had gone to the sugar camp with their grandfather when a big storm came up. They got wet. The boys took spinal meningitis, and died within seven weeks of each other." (Excerpt from an article written by Loretta Drollinger Dugas on or around 1983.)
