He died of Tuberculosis!

My great great grandfather (I believe that's the relation) died from complications of tuberculosis. He did not have to die that way though. According to what I have been told, he was made to get out of the fields. I think he was in his late 80's when his family said enough was enough, he had to get out of the fields. If I'm not mistaken it was about a year later that he died because of complications from tuberculosis. He was out in the fields from sun up until sun down and had no real health issues until he was told to go inside and stay there. Yes there are dangers to being outside too long, more so now than in the late 1800's (which was when he died) but being outside is still very good for you. Being active is good for you.
