My grandmother told me Harold had pneumonia and they couldn't afford a doctor. My grandmother was pregnant with my dad at that time. She gave birth to my dad prematurely and 7 days later Harold died. Grandma told me she kept my dad in a shoebox near the stove to keep him warm. I have a crocheted cap she made for him. It looks like a doll's hat and was much too small to put on my daughter's head when she was born so many years later.
