William Paschal Douglas, killed by an elephant

Also known as Paskill.

In about 1830, William was killed in Boyle County, Kentucky when an elephant - presumably from a circus - stepped on him.

Following his death, his wife Midda Beard, took her children to Iowa so she could be near her sisters.

William had a brother, Silas.

Doea anyone have this family in their tree - or know more about them?
