Cora Veldkamp - Newspaper Archives

While searching through the website NewspaperARCHIVE I found a short article about my great-grandmother, Cora (Van Der Aa) Veldkamp. This was published in The Pointer in Riverdale, Illinois, February 23, 1923. My grandmother remembers her mother talking about this illness. She was convinced that she would only have girl babies as a result of it - but after four girls - a boy came along!
