Eliakim COOLEY

1649 - 1711  (62 years)

• Birth	8 Jan 1648/49	Longmeadow, Hampden, MA   [1, 2]
  Note	In 1711 a Frenchman by the name of John Mallefuild was traveling through Springfield, and a severe snowstorm made it impossible for him to keep on. He stopped at Eliakim Cooley's home. He was quite ill and after ten days died, November 16, 1711. Within a month after Mallefuild's death, Eliakim Cooley, his wife, Hannah And his sister Bethia Chapin, all died. It seems quite probably that Mallefuild's illness was a contagious one.
  Death	1 Dec 1711	Springfield, Hampden, MA   [1]
