September 7, 1922 From Dewitt’s Diary, It’s a Boy!

Thursday, September 7, 1922

A baby boy was born to Edna dear and I this morning at 4 o’clock. Edna was a sick girl all night but she got along alright because she had a good nurse and doctor.

Jennie Hunt is taking care of her and am still trying to find someone to help in the house.

Leland Francis weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces. Dr. Hill was here all last night and left this morning at 5 o’clock.

Bought a tractor of M. Boyes today. 
Went after it and drove it from Ovid home. 
Leland's birthday, he is 23 years old. 
Very hot again today. All has been very warm this week.

[Leland was still in Europe]
