NOTE of interest from GenForum, Date: August 27, 2000 at 06:38:52, by P. Hadley Price (bpp@dpnet.net)

""Underwood disease" is almost certainly the familial version of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). It is known that it affected--and is still inherited by descendants of--some early families: Underwoods, Farrs, Hadleys, Wetherbys (various spellings), perhaps others."

****************************************************

Matilda's children are listed in the 1870 U. S. Census, St. Clair Co., Chalk Level Twp., Missouri, living with her parents, Willis and Margaret Underwood. They are listed with surname UNDERWOOD instead of WINN. Isadora, age 12; Laura, age 10; Willis, age 8; Josephine, age 7; Margaret, age 4. This leads me to presume Matilda died prior to census date of June 2(0), 1870.

Next door are Matilda's brother, Bembridge Underwood, age 24 and wife Mary (Turner), age 21.
