Author notes:: It appears that father Alcide Jr. was living with Hercules' family in
the front at 1228 St Mary St while his wife Cecelia and their daughter Cecelia
were living in the back of the same house with Lea's family, the Knoblochs.
Daughter Lea Marie Chauvin Knobloch had died two years prior in 1918 leaving widowed
husband Volney and three children surviving her. It looks like the entire family pulled
together in one house.
Cecelia Toups Chauvin died seventeen months later in 1921, so she may have been quite ill
and being cared for by her daughter Cecelia.]

Cause of Death
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000264.htm
Acute cholecystitis is a sudden inflammation of the gallbladder that causes severe abdominal pain.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors:
In 90% of cases, acute cholecystitis is caused by gallstones in the gallbladder, which obstruct the duct leading from the gallbladder to the common bile duct (which drains into the intestine). Severe illness, alcohol abuse and, rarely, tumors of the gallbladder may also cause cholecystitis.
The trapped bile becomes concentrated and causes irritation and pressure build-up in the gallbladder. This can lead to bacterial infection and perforation. Attacks may follow a large or fatty meal.
Gallstones occur more frequently in women than men, and it becomes more common with age in both sexes. Native Americans have a higher incidence of gallstones.
Septicemia is the presence of bacteria in the blood (bacteremia) and is often associated with severe disease.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors:
Septicemia is a serious, life-threatening infection that gets worse very quickly. It can arise from infections throughout the body, including infections in the lungs, abdomen, and urinary tract. It may come before or at the same time as infections of the bone (osteomyelitis ), central nervous system (meningitis ), or other tissues.
Septicemia can rapidly lead to septic shock and death. Septicemia associated with some organisms (germs) such as meningococci can lead to shock, adrenal collapse, and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, a condition called Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome.
Septicemia can begin with spiking fevers and chills, rapid breathing and heart rate, the outward appearance of being seriously ill (toxic) and a feeling of impending doom. These symptoms rapidly progress to shock with decreased body temperature (hypothermia), falling blood pressure, confusion or other changes in mental status, and blood-clotting abnormalities evidenced by a specific type of red spots on the skin (petechiae and ecchymosis).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyonephrosis
Pyonephrosis (Greek pyon "pus" + nephros "kidney") is an infection of the renal collecting system. Pus collects in the renal pelvis and causes distension of the kidney. This requires drainage, best performed by nephrostomy.
Pyonephrosis is sometimes a complication of renal stones, which can be a source of persisting infection. It may also occur spontaneously.
