Cholera Epidemic of 1849- Deaths in Paterson New Jersey

As promised here is the list of those who lived and died in Patterson New Jersey during the 1849 Cholera epidemic.     Cholera is a bacterial infection caused by ingesting contaminated food or water, primarily contamination with human fecal matter.  Until 1849 it was thought to be an airborne and mysterious illness that appeared to plague the poor more readily than the wealthy.    Dr. Snow proposed a microbial origin for epidemic cholera in 1849 and began to study the disease.  By 1855 he had found the link between contaminated water and Cholera infections ( Wikipedia).
