  Notes	Click on the arrow on the left to display this note.
  	Uncle Chris was the only sibling to leave East Chicago, which he did when his first wife was stricken with TB at a time when the only thing they knew what to do with it was to flee to LA for the dry climate, which they did.  However Helma became a Christian Scientist and when their baby got sick out there and she refused to see a doctor and the baby died it broke the marriage.
