Part 1: The Birth News

[Aug. 28, 1929 Mitchell County Press]

Mr. and Mrs. George Plowman are rejoicing over the new baby who was born
at the Park Hospital Tuesday afternoon.  Mrs. Plowman's condition which
was considered quite serious for a few days is now much improved.  This is
their first child.

George Plowman drove to Mason City every morning last week to spend the day
near his wife and baby son.  They are both getting along nicely as this
writing.

Mrs. George Plowman and baby son Gerald Keith were brought home from the
Park Hospital Thursday.  Mrs. Plowman is improving nicely and is able to
sit up a little each day.  Gerald Keith is also doing fine.






Part 2: The Death Notice

[Oct. 2, 1929.  Wednesday]

One of the saddest deaths ever occurred here came Friday night, when Mrs.
George Plowman died at the Park Hospital after a sickness lasting since
the birth of her little son on August 20.  She was taken back to the
hospital Friday noon in hopes that an operation might save her life but
she grew steadily worse until death came to relieve her suffering.

The little son of Mr. and Mrs. Plowman was taken Sunday night to the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Will Plowman were he will be tenderly cared for.  The baby
was baptized by Rev. Mr. Galbrath immediately following the funeral services
of the Mother.  The baby was given the name of Gerald Keith.  Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Heard stood as sponsors.
