I'm 49yrs old and most of my paternal family is gone now and the few relatives my sister questioned years ago who are old enough to remember claim they had no clue as to what she was talking about. it's probably futile to try to find the baby but sometimes my curiosity gets the best of me! again, thanks for all your help and time...and please keep in touch if you find anything else out regarding bertha's death or her son robert d. wolfe, i'd love to know more about them.
