All indications are that the baby didn’t survive but at this moment in time, the only thing we can do is speculate. Two of his brothers were young at the time and don’t remember much of the details but they both say that neither survived. They both remember that she had a very bad temper, and lived at the house on Sommers Lane for a short time before moving to Garden City.

Newspaper article show that she was in the hospital 3 times and on the last visit, she died. One of the visits was from a car accident where she had injured her leg. My father was never a very good driver and either were his brothers for you can find many articles where they were involved in accidents.

I can find no record of their marriage but all indication are that they were married for about 4 years and since she did in 1952 it would date their marriage sometime in 1948. He met and married my mother in 1953 about a year after his first wife’s death.

History is a subject that I’m starting to have a lot of interest in but heres some science that you probably didn’t know and I’m surprised that Jennifer didn’t know either but pregnancy induced hypertension witch is what grandpop’s first wife might have died form is caused by the male gene. Which would also explains why Christian was premature. That means that my health could be more like my grandfathers than anyone else in our family. Thank you for this info I look forward to learning more.
