The 'baby' she would be referring to was Gerald who was 3 years old at the time. Believe in her previous letters he had been ill. Yes, Carrie referred to some women by their maiden and married names which has helped me figure out who she was talking about. I can remember my grandmother always doing that also.Debby's Family Genealogy Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230444399622755142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7103274132077570190.post-14895758786624260662016-07-04T14:30:39.606-07:002016-07-04T14:30:39.606-07:00I love her seemingly ambivalent reporting of poor ...I love her seemingly ambivalent reporting of poor little Terry's finger mishap! I wonder what a bay fork wheel is - but I imagine it is some piece of farm equipment... And what about the baby improving?? Also - did Carrie refer in her letters to both names of women (i.e,. "Lida Hulse or Luce now") as a way to indicate married and maiden names? Interesting letter! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648897482067851546noreply@blogger.com
