In 1849, a brutal and vicious cholera epidemic swept through the nation and the growing town of Sandusky was greatly impacted. Over half the town fled in terror and the brave souls that remained were left to deal with the horrors that came with the epidemic. Why didnt the man burying the bodies ever seem to contract the disease? Why were people slaughtering pigs in the cemetery? What happened to all the headstones?
