The daughter of Richard and Millie Jane called "Jennie" (Downing) Colston. They had two children, Grace born 18 May 1890 and Jesse born 1892. Little Jesse died in 1894 of what was called brain fever.( Brain Fever is also called :Encephalitis, an acute inflammation of the brain, commonly caused by a viral infection.)
