Bloomington Telephone, March 9, 1909, Clipping File, Monroe County History Center, Bloomington, Indiana. There were two notes attached to this card. According to the first note, "An addition in Bloomington.The little girl is in a critical condition and recovery is doubtful." According to the second note "Evidently Daffodil survived as she married Albert Stevens on September 4, 1911, in Monroe County, Indiana. On her marriage record, she gave her date of birth as December 4, 1894, which would have made her a little older than 13 when she underwent surgery, unless she fibbed about her age on her application for marriage license.Daffodil (Bender) Stevens later married William Ham on February 26, 1917." An operation for appendicitis was performed Saturday night on Daffodil Bender, the 13-year-old daughter of John Bender of Maple Heights.
