There is so much to share! So much to write about! I don't even know where to begin!! That being said, I'm just going to start in the middle.
I have been able to get copies of a few Texas Death Certificates, including one for Clarence George - older brother to Grandpa "Little Tony" George. He was born 19 Dec 1923 and died 26 Dec 1923. The COD is listed as "Purpura hemorrhagica neonatorum". Of course I called Mom right away for her medical knowledge. She didn't know off the top of her head but did some extensive research in just a few hours. It is all speculation on our part, but the mostly likely COD in layman's terms is a vitamin K deficiency. Vitamin K and the reason it is so important to give to newborns was not known until 1943, 20 years later.
