My maternal grandparents' first child. Taken as a baby from typhoid fever. His mother, also ill with typhoid, was not aware her baby had died until she got better.

The accompanying pictures are of Ralph, and his parents after his death. Note Alma's hair is extremely short, a result of her high fever. Charles and Alma McKnight would go on to have four more children, Worth, Wilmoore, Audrey and Julia. Julia was my mother.
