There are no major natural disasters listed here:

So, I'm with Cheri and am putting my money on an epidemic:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diseases_and_epidemics_of_the_19th_century
A long while back, I read a 19th century travelogue
bygone times. Many people
lived into their 70’s & 80’s but; so many died as infants/toddlers that the
average was brought way down. I feel so bad for all those families.
