They experienced multiple untimely deaths. Lawrence was kicked by a horse as a toddler, with long-term effects that eventually led to his death at age 5. Grandmother Sarah Hanks was burned to death when her clothes caught fire while cooking. 2-year-old Cumorah drowned when she was left unattended during a camping trip.
