19th March 1929

Marion Ross Bethel born on 19th March 1929 in Rotes Kreuz Wiesbaden Germany at 4 a.m. Tuesday, weighing 5 Ibs. She was so dainty and tiny, nurse Marie one day brought her to me in the basket, they kept wadding in. I insisted on having the little darling with me in my room, instead of leaving her in the nursery with other babies. She had two tiny curls on top of her head which disappeared completely later on.
