How did charles frederick ingalls die?

Charles Fredrick Ingalls 'Freddie' started losing weight at nine months.

Despite the Doctor being called, he couldn't do anything about it and Freddie died. Apparently allot of baby's had the same in those times and nobody knew how to cure it. I don't know what the disease was called though.

Added later by another member:

Charles F. Ingalls Jr. died just 3 days short of his 10th month aniversary. Since there seems to be no recorded symptoms of his illness there could be any number of causes for death, some of which are not common today. Babies still pass away from viruses in modern times although it is not usual now; and there is "failure to thrive"...since diet was more limited in those days it may have been related to a nutritonal deficit or some intestional problem. It's sad, but very likely the doctor had no idea what was wrong...

Are all of Laura Ingalls Wilder's books based on true events?

Laura's books are historic fiction. Although the content follows the factual events of her early life very closely, there are differences which precludes them from being purely historical. For example, the sequence of events is not always in order, especially in the early books, which has Carrie accompanying them on the journey when she was not yet born in reality. Also, Nellie Oleson is a composite character drawn from three different unpleasant girls Laura knew. There are also large chunks omitted from the chronology, such as the period of time the Ingall's lived in Iowa. Also omitted is the birth and death of the only Ingall's boy, but Laura never mentioned him in her books. Laura has also filled in the gaps to make her stories interesting for children to read, but this also prevents the books being strictly factual.
