Re: You are right Kabu....
Penicillin was not discovered until 1928 and by that time so many had died from pneumonia and other related things and in this family story, we are only to 1907.

Good Morning
Oh my, Ben lost so much. I'm glad he went to stay with his son after his wife died. I've really enjoyed this series.

The twentieth century was an amazing century and of course amongst so much else penicillin had a big deal to do with people living longer. Once that became readily available along with many other life saving inoculations, and procedures, people have been able to extend their life spans.

B.A. has had so much pain. What a strong man he must have been! I hope there were smiles left for him In Tennessee.

I am just amazed that he lost 4 wives. So hard to fathom. I hope things are better when he gets to Tennessee. I feel so bad for him.
