Message Board Post:
I am a Cales descendant. My great grandmother was Ardelia Frances Cales married to George
William Olds. Ardelia was the daughter of John Baxter Cales, who was the son of James
Cales and Sarah Buchanan. I have many pictures of Ardelia Cales and she had no such
finger. But, she died of ALS and then 7 of her descendants died of it and 2 great great
grandchilldren have it. We have determined ALS had to have gone through her from the Cales
or Gaines or Buchanan lines. I would like to find out the cause of death for John Baxter
Cales' wife Sarah Elizabeth Gaines Cales. If you have any Cales death records that
indicate ALS or something that could be ALS as a cause of death I would be interested in
knowing that.
