Message Board Post:
When I first realized that they died on the same day, I supposed they died together such
as in a buggy accident. When I say Joseph Plunkett's obit, I saw that they died
seperately; on the same day but at different times. Suicide of one occured to me but I,
for now, ruled it out. Joseph's mother died first on that day. He had obviously been
sick with a serious long term illness which caused him to not be able to continue on with
his responsibilites at the Constitutional Convention. The way I picture their deaths, is
that the mom died unexpectedly but since she died first I don't think suicide. The
shock of her death, and in Joseph's frail health situation, caused him to have a
health crisis which killed him. I have looked at Sierra County's genweb info and
there is not much available. Maybe I will post to their message board.
