Sanford did not die from an epidemic as is indicated here and elsewhere. According to an original letter that I have in my possession, written by his son Daniel, to my 2nd great grandfather, Sanford Wesley Ransdell (Daniel's bother and another son of Sanford and Rhoda) a "coroner's jury found that Sanford "came to his death by intoxication and oppressive heat from the son".
