My mother
Me not long after I had scarlet fever.
When I was a baby I had milk poison. My mother had started working and had quit breast feeding me. She let me breast feed, her milk was bad, and it gave me milk poisoning. When I asked her why she did that she replied... "Will my breasts were hurting." lol She said she told my Granny to take care of me that she could get me well. I was burning up with fever and the doctor told my Granny that if they gave me one drop of milk it would kill me. Granny told me that she made toast, soaked it in water, and gave me the water off of the toast.

I got scarlet fever before I turned 4 years old. Mom and daddy had moved to California. Granny and Uncle D. (mom's little brother) came to California. Granny took me back home with her on the train. Uncle D. stayed there with mom, daddy, and Aunt W. (daddy's little sister). Soon after Granny got me home I came down with Scarlet Fever. When asked how I got it I was told I went into a quarantined trailer next door.
I can remember sitting in the floor, my mom came, I ran to meet her and I fell in the floor. Granny said I could not walk while sick.
