Marguerite the elder might have survived had she been born at a later decade and Marguerite the younger would have grown up with a mommy. Tragic case. Was the Joe Burton mentioned in that story the same person who lived near the old blacksmith shop in town during the 50s, I.e., Joe and Maude Burton?

I agree with you. Another example of life before antibiotics. I knew Joe Burton and am pretty sure he's the one that lived next to the blacksmith shop.

Yes, that is the same Joe Burton that we knew. Joe died in the 1980's, his brother Milton lived till 2002.
