"Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same
but as God calls us one by one
the chain will link again"

Wapello County IOwa Deaths has spelling as LOUIGAN page 237 Book 4

Buried with grandma Mary Elizabeth McDermott & James Matthew Phillips.

Grandma told me how she was in labor and the doctor told her and Grandpa that the baby was too large to be born. He weighed 16 lbs. Grandpa had to make the decision as to who would survive, Grandma or the baby. Grandpa chose for Grandma to survive. The baby weighed over 16 pounds. In those days, nothing could be done like it is today. Imagine how hard that was on Grandma. It is such a sad story. I think about it often and I know she did too.
