    I think that was a typo and should have read in the 1890s. I know of several families that had the disease back in the early 1900s, and it killed most of them. I once asked a neighbor why so many in her family had died during a particular year (I thought it might have been a flu epidemic) but she said they all had TB. And one of my great uncles married a woman who came from a family with TB. they had around 10 children and lost about 4 of them to TB.
