So far I have learned so much about the past people who have died in Eau Claire. I never would have thought that there would be so many odd stories that dealt with deaths especially in that time period. Finding things I will admit wasn’t the easiest. I had a rough start. Not really getting into the exact information I wanted. I worked on it more and did my research and the archives really were what helped me the most. This surprised me I honestly thought I could find a lot online. My question was interesting to begin with. I wanted to know about different bizarre stories and deaths in the past to see the differences from the present day stories. Truth be told I found a lot of things. They have odd stories and I feel like I figured out why. When reading about stories of people dying from the sight of blood or even their dog dying it just didn’t seem like that was completely the case. All of the truly bizarre stories ended with people having heart disease. Maybe if there was better technology they would have been able to find out the truth to all of this. Today doctors can really dig deep and discover exactly what happened. I don’t think that was case back then. To further my answer I would want to figure out what type of education was needed back then compared to today’s education. I would want to see if what I am concluding is right. I will also find more odd stories if I continue on the path I was on but if I change directions and figure out a different approach as to why they were more unusual back then it would completely answer what I’m wondering.

I think your topic is interesting and I am glad that you had success in finding more information as you looked a little harder. I would definitely say there is a total different way of researching deaths today, considering all of the medical and technological advances. I don’t know if their inability of successfully determining the causes of death in the past had to do with lack of education, or simply lack of technology? I Would assume technology but will be curious to see what you find.
I am also really interested in your topic. I strongly agreed with you that many people died from having heart disease due to the lack of technology. It could be more interesting if you actually find and state a specific story of it. Also, if would be great if you could find how death rate changed by the time goes. I really enjoy reading your sources! I am looking forward to look more!
