Judy

Of course the big event of those years at Salfordville was the birth of our daughter Judy. That was on November fifth of 1944 and we lived there only until she was fourteen months old. When Claire had become pregnant we had engaged a doctor in Mount Airy near where Claire's family, Dolly, Helen and Charley lived. When the time was near for the baby to be born, Claire stayed with them in order to be near Chestnut Hill Hospital. I made many trips in order to be near when the baby was born but she was delayed and I was at home when Judy arrived. After they left the hospital, they stayed in Roxborough at John Spratt's house for a few days so Claire could get used to caring for the new baby.
When Judy was an infant we had many problems before it was found that she had several allergies, such as milk, corn products and peaches and other foods containing them. After taking this into consideration, we had no unusual problems with her.
