Memoranda (ii)

March the 23 1918
Charles Brumfield died
this morning at 7:30 oclock
was buried the 24th

Notes

He was born 1872, so this made him 46 years old. So sad, to bury your grown son. Interesting how no emotion shows here.
The entries from the week before are really vivid. Lots of people (including Julia) are staying with Charles and Margaret, and reporting on his condition. http://alpha.fromthepage.com/display/read_work?ol=l_hd_w_link&page=16&work_id=2
Ben Brumfield is researching the people and places mentioned in the Julia Brumfield Diaries. He welcomes correspondence at benwbrum@gmail.com.
