After the death of his wife, Anna Rosetta, Charles Ladd went to Texas.The story is that he went with others on a buffalo hunt during the winterof 1876-7 and caught cold. He had been in frail health, and this coldhastened his death. According to the papers in the Partition Proceedingsinvolving the farm in which he had part interest, his death date is March12, 1877. (Partition Proceedings, 2n day September 1994, Grant CountyCircuit Court, recorded in Order Book No. 3, pp 178, 179 and 180.)
Charles ladd was buried near Audubon, Wise County, Texas. In January1968 the Chauncey Ladds tried to laocate this grave. Audubon is nolonger in existence, and although there is a cemetery near its site,called "Bald Knob," it was impossible to locate any particular gravesince the earliest dated head stones were in the 1890's. Other markerswere flat field stones set on end. There are no records.
The Cook family booklet compiled by Nathan Cook in 1911 records the deathdates of the Ladds as follows: Isabel on January 24, 1876; Cicero onMarch 22, 1873; Anna Rosetta Marshall Ladd as March 12, 1877 and Charleson February 4, 1878. The Partition Proceeding papers list themotherwise, as recorded in the proper places. (See note in first paragraphabove.)
