I've got to get around to reading his books. I've read Elmer Keith's and he lost a daughter in an auto accident when she was a young girl.

Keith's daughter Druzilla was injured in an auto accident which affecter her spinal chord. She would pass out at times and her health grew more poorly after the accident.
She came down with the flu and the next day so did Elmer. Elmer's flu went into double pneumonia and the next morning the already weakened Druzilla died from the flu. I don't think Elmer ever got over the fact that her was too sick to go to his daughter's funeral. I believe this was in the year 1940.
