Answer to Question about what happened to Karl & Victoria Hirt:

They both passed away from a Flu epidemic. This information came from Delmer & Marcie Batla ( Granddaughter of Karl & Victoria ). The Mar. 13,1902 edition of the Rockdale Reporter states, that Chas. ( Karl ) Hirt and Wife passed away. He passed on Mon., and was laid to rest on Tue., She ( Victoria ) passed away on the day he was buried. The Headstones have the same date ( for their passing ). The Reporter also stated, they left two little children," one of whom is even now hovering between life and death." The children were, Frank & Josephine Hirt.  Frank is the Father of Marcie Batla.

Thank you to Seth Hirt for this information.
