Me doing ancestry work:
We looked into the family lore of my great grand aunt and uncles, one of which we didn't even know the name of until today because he was about 2 months old at the time of his death and documentation of infant death doesn't always include the first name. We now have officially confirmed that three of my great-great grandparents' children died of diphtheria in the space of 11 days in 1897, two of which died within 24 hours of each other.
Thanks @jstor for the additional information!

• Diphtheria ( I couldn’t fit this one)
• Malaria “ye olde marsh fever” @bombadilbaddie
• Scrofula “The King’s Evil” @hasturswig
Edit for all the people telling me “uhhh tuberculosis still exists”: I know! :) In fact, all of these sicknesses still exist. In the modern world we live in, however, most of these are only prevalent in developing countries, and certainly not to the extent they once were.
