I'm looking for information on Nicholas Steele who died about Aug 1879 in Carroll Co., MD. He was in his 20s and worked as a farm laborer and died from "galloping consumption" which sounds like a virulent form of TB, supposedly he lasted six weeks from the time he was first strickened until his death. He was married to a Mary Catherine Hartman, born abt 1858 in western Virginia, and they had two children: Laura Mae, born Mar 1877-died 1893 and is buried at St. Peter's Catholic Church in Libertytown, Frederick Co., MD, and a son Hezekiah Nicholas, born May 1879.
