"I hadn't dared hope, but secretly did plan for a son, and here he came just when dad had to thresh the grain. And he helped many times after that. He was given Walter for his father, along with my maiden name. He was well matured when he was born. Maybe not so handsome, but what a joy. Which he has always been. A great wonderful surgeon. Ross was born Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. Dr. Clark delivered him, and told us he thought probably our son would be a medical doctor. President Joseph F. Smith came to Richfield that day and all children in town met him and scattered flowers for his car to drive over."
