Maternal mortality in South Philadelphia.

“There lies your mother, my dear girl.”

Since 2 of the new mothers were ill, Aunt Kate nursed all three newborns.

A pregnant mother of six died days after the parade.

A mother with influenza unfortunately didn’t survive.

She left behind ten children.

My Mother was 4 years old when her Mother passed and never discussed these deaths.

In the end, my grandfather had to dig his wife’s grave.

“Why is he crying?” wondered my mother, who was six-years-old at the time.

“His fellow kitchen mates decided that if they sent him to the infirmary that he might die there, so they kept him warm by the stove.”
