Thanks to Catherine
Bradford for transcribing this page.
[1] Hearne's original
text has a duplicated line that appears to be a publisher's error.
The line is: "born Dec. 3, 1899; Katie Catherine, born Nov. 22, 1902 and
Meba". It is only shown above in the place where it appears to fit.
However, it spells the name Meba in the first occurance and Neba in the
second occurance.
