Crocker Brother Deaths (1890)

Two singular deaths occurred at Garner, NC, presenting a most striking coincidence.  Two brothers, James and David CROCKER, died of pneumonia.  They were between the ages of thirty-five and forty, and one died at 12 M, the other at 3.  Both married sisters, and each leaves a wife and six children.  Both were born on the 12th of the month, married on the 13th, and died on the 12th.
