Thank you very much for your help. Kind of a sad record. So many people died of cholera at that time. I scanned several pages, spanning only a couple of days, but nearly everyone died of cholera. Husbands and wives often died within days of each other.
Thanks, again.

You're welcome @BillRostal. Cholera, which is typically spread through contaminated drinking water, would often move quickly through a village as an epidemic because most people in that village had the same source for water.
