While it is not unusual for a husband and wife to die in the same year, it is unusual if it happens to their son, daughter and grandchild too?
Judith Rogers was the daughter of John Rogers & Mary Skidmore. She married Samuel Augustus Doughty and they had 3 children - Gilbert, Anna & Augusta.
Judith, Samuel and their youngest, Augusta, all died in 1898?
Then Gilbert and his wife died in 1926?
Then Gilbert and his wife died in 1926?
Then Frank, Gilbert's son, and his wife Sarah both die in 1948?
It's the strangest set of co-inky-dinks I have ever seen!?!

Augusta Doughty Bryant
On Tuesday morning March 1, there passed from earth to Heaven the spirit of Augusta Doughty Bryant, wife of Frederick Bryant, of Highland, NY, formerly of Hopewell Junction, NY. Her sickness was of short duration, being taken with grippe January 6th, which developed acute Brights Disease, which progressed so rapidly that there was no help for it. Surely a bright and shining light has been quenched, a useful life cut off and a happy home broken up. Of a bright and cheerful nature she endeared herself to all. Although she had never identified herself with any particular church, she enjoyed divine worship and was a sincere, praying Christian of the quiet, unassuming kind, believing the life and deeds of a person speak for themselves and that God could read the heart and understand and taking the Golden Rule as her guide in life and living up to it as nearly as possible for human beings to do, she felt she could safely leave the rest with God in whom she trusted.
