edith and ernest

edith only wife of ernestborn eleven out of twelve...unbelievable story with her dealing with medical doctors in tooeleafter the birth of her fifth child lillian, her placenta burst and did not exit her body...rather than surgically remove it, the doctors jammed a hot iron rod up iside of her allowing the placenta to grow on the iron rod...she was in her twenties...after a period of time the rod was pulled out of her ripping the placenta from her body, the pain was impossible for her to endure...she receded back into her mind and ver soon afterward performed weird acts such as placing her last born llilian into an oven....they did not medicate edith or give her therapy for post mortem depression but instead placed her in a mental institution in american fork hospital where she remained all the days of her life dying in 1972 and her husband in 1974.......so my father was motherless and ernest single....ernest was on the boat erie on april 9, 1909, his work journal recorded, clear crisp cold days standing on the bow of the great boat...long and boring...he did not get sea sick and spied the glacial snow in the distance...GREENLAND...arrived at new york harbor and boared a smokey black train which had terrible delays...he worked for a mr. black and his uncle, a mr. daltonalmost continually with little time for seep, food or pleasure..he was a member of the firedepartment and sang in the opera with edith at many opportunities...edith was one of very few, i have ever considered BEAUTIFUL
