Deaths

In the early settlement of Godgate, disease and starvation wiped entire families out at once. Disease spread through dirty wells and bad milk killed many and the common belief in witchcraft led to violent fights breaking out between neighbors over who was responsible. Fires were common in wooden frame farmhouses and were often set by unwatched children. White Sparrow Graveyard was the first officially named cemetery, built on top of the founder's old burying ground. As the old religion died back and families like the Ipswiches gained power, the monuments became more elaborate.
