On page 19, Mary writes, "When Jessie was a month old, mom noticed a lump in his groin. They wanted to take him to the doctor but they had no team. They sent me on Willie (horse) to Uncle Luis' to get him to bring a team, or at least one horse and the Whillier's Democrat (wagon). He was fencing someplace on the H.B.C. Quarter, he had just bought. I could not find him so Dad went over to the Whillier' and got a team and the Democrat. I went with mom to Eckville. I guess I could help her some. Dad looked after Gerry and Martin. The Dr was Dr. Bacus. He said he had a hernia. He showed mom how to make a truss out of yarn to hold it in place. He was not strong as he was premature." On page 23, Mary writes, "Poor little Jessie. He was always sick, and never strong enough to learn to walk. His mind was sharp, and he talked quite well. I well remember him sitting on a home made high chair (that dad had made) at the table with his head in his arms. He would sit like this for hours, not too well dressed but never complained. He always call Lorena, "Pretty Doll". He got very bad in the spring of 1924. Dad took him and mom to Eckville to the doctor. Dad came home but mom stayed in town at the hotel with Jessie. There was no hospital. Towards morning Harry Lowe brought mom and Jessie home. Jessie was dead. Pete undertook to make the coffin, Mrs. Nugget and Mrs. Van Lone lined it in white satin and had crocheted lace edging. It looked really nice. Little Jessie was buried in the Gilby Cemetery. He was the only member of the family, the folks never had a picture of."
