I read Web’s diaries yesterday and found Leslie’s birth on Jan. 20, 1900. There was no mention of anything wrong. Everyone in the family came to see him and they did not have the doctors come. I found the death on June 14, 1900 and again no reason given. They burried him on June 17th at Horse Meadow Cemetry in in a new plot they paid $18 for. This became the family plot where they then burried the baby born in 1905, I found her death notice also on ancestry records. The family story always was that Leslie died of spineabifeta (not sure of the spelling) which was the same thing that Herman’s first child died of but I could not find any proof of this. It rained almost all day yesterday. The sun come out for a short time in the afternoon but it never dried out enough to work out side so I spent the whole day on the computer. It is still cloudy with showers forcasted today so I will work more on the family tree. Have a good day.

Hi Carol,
Got my eye done on thursday and great trouble getting used to this new lens. The other eye didn’t seem to bother me as much. could be because I am 4 yrs. older. so until I get my new corrected glasses, which can’t be prescribed for a month, I will have to be this way. Excuse all the mistakes. Otherwise, everything is going very well. I am happier than I have been for a long time…..so good!!!! Peter will come here this eve. so we can watch the debate together. We have so many interests in common. No other news but I plan to mail Skipper’s obit. out to Shirley as soon as I can write legiably.
Until another day,
Nancy
Hi Nancy- So glad everything went well. Norman has to have that done sometime but both he and the doctor are putting it off as long as they can because sometimes there is trouble and where he only has the one eye with cental vision they don’t want to take a chance until they have to. I have been working on the family tree on ancestry.com and have heard from some distant relatives from that. I got one message from a Bronwen Loeb. He is related to us through Lemuel Brown. He is a decendent of Charlie Brown, grampa Bown’s brother. I love hearing from distant relatives and trying to figure out how we are related. I just wish I had more time to study it. I guess that is what I will do when I retire from the farm and just do it part time for the next two or three years. Keep well and have fun. Love Carol
