Britton, white female, 24, married; died Jan 30 1896 at Summers, cause of death childbed fever, burial at Gaston Graveyard (now known as the Gaston-Hart Cemetery). (Note: Childbed fever is more properly known as puerperal fever, a bacterial infection contracted by women during childbirth or miscarriage. It can develop into puerperal sepsis, which is a serious form of septicaemia. If untreated, it is often fatal. From the 1600s through the mid to late 1800s, the majority of childbed fever cases were caused by the doctors themselves. With no knowledge of germs, doctors did not believe hand washing was needed. Statements like that of Dr. Charles Meigs, a leading obstetrician and teacher from Philadelphia, were the attitude of the time: "Doctors are gentlemen, and gentlemen’s hands are clean."
