The Letters - August 14, 1921 & August 18, 1921 - Postcards - To Mrs. Anna Hay from her son John (about his mother-in-law)


8/14/21
Dear Mother,

Mrs. Mills (his mother-in-law) is failing very rapidly. We are afraid it is only a question of a very short time. We received your postal and also letter. Please be careful and do not over do yourself. 

Sunday Night

Lovingly,

John (son of Mrs. Anna Hay) 



8/18/21 Thursday Morning

Mrs. Mills (his mother-in-law) died at 11 o'clock last night, Wednesday Aug. 17th 1921. Will be buried at Braddock Saturday afternoon. Alice (his wife) and I will be in Johnstown Saturday evening and stay with you over Sunday.

Lovingly,

John (son of Mrs. Anna Hay)
