Planning a Little House trip and need to work out some details? Trying to figure out when and where to go — or what to do while you’re there? Ask Little House Travel. We’ll be starting a regular weekly feature on submitted questions or questions we’ve been asked in the past. Questions can be specific to one homesite or as general as you need. If we don’t know the answer, we’ll find someone who does.
You may include your name if you like or choose to be anonymous. It’s up to you. All questions will be linked on the Q & A page for easy access.
Oops..Should have posted my question here: What happened in Burr Oak (was that the town?) that was sad??
While the Ingalls family was traveling to Burr Oak, their son Charles Fredrick Ingalls died from an unspecified illness. He is burried in/near Zumbro Falls MN, but I think his grave is unmarked. See http://www.pioneergirl.com
Life in Burr Oak was a struggle financially and emotionally. You can pruchase a booklet from the Burr Oak homesite called “The Iowa Story.”
