Several years ago I think it was in the summer of 1896 my sister became very poor in health. 

A gentleman was born in Canton, Ohio on December 3, 1867 and was married on June 13, 1900 at St. John's Church, Canton, Ohio, with whom he is still living at 44 Marlees Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. 

This is about a new born baby girl.  When nine days old the baby became ill and thought it cannot possibly live. 

Your card in answer to my last letter received sometime ago with thanks. 

A man was taken ill early in 1880, he went from bad to worse but called no doctor until April.
