When I added the Cates brothers, my overactive imagination went crazy. I could not find their mother in 1870. I may have identified their father in Lafayette Co. in 1870, who marries a girl a 3rd his age and starts a new family. My imagination saw them kissing their wives and babies, and telling their mother they would look out for each other. I think their mother actually died of grief. She could understand one son dying, but to lose all three at the same time, I felt was more then she could bear.
