David Andrew Floyd, and his wife Margaret Jane Norman Floyd, evidently died on the same day and are buried in the same grave according to findagrave.com. Curious as to whether or not anyone knows the cause of death. I've tried to research pandemics, etc., during that time, but have found nothing. Any info would be appreciated.
