DS: Solace (April/11/1905) stillbornLocation: Salem, OregonFritz (nickname that Millie gave to Humphrey) and Millie continue to live happily on the farm. With the first child, they decided that Millie would get to pick the first name, and that they would use two family middle names. This tradition has continued to work so far...(Rose) Mabel is named after Fritz's mother's late sister, and Irene is after Millie's mother's name.(Hazel) Marie is named after Fritz's father's sister who died in childhood, and Ruth is for Millie's father's sister.(Oliver) Sebastian is a family middle name, carried by his father Fritz (who was the oldest of 3 boys and 1 girl - all deceased except for Fritz, of course!), grandfather, great-grandfather, and was his great-great-grandfather's first name. Neumann is his mother's maiden name.There was a bit of an argument when Oliver was born. Fritz's uncle (father's brother) passed away the spring before Oliver was born. Fritz was heartbroken because his uncle had been living on the farm for the last 14 years - ever since his own family's house had burnt down, killing his entire family. However, Millie just couldn't bring herself to like the name Lothar, no matter how kind the man had been. The argument was only settled when Gilbert (Fritz' father) asked why they didn't Lothar's middle name, Oliver.With Lothar now gone, Fritz has no extended family left. However, Millie's younger brother, Alexander (not the youngest, but the 16 year-old) has moved out to the farm to help out. This helps Millie's parents out, and helps Sascha out by providing him with a small income.In late March there was a server storm that dropped a lot of snow and then froze everything. There was a lot to do, and many things that needed taken care of. The stress proved too much for Millie's body, and she miscarried a son. Everybody mourned the loss (and Millie would only allow a single name - she used her families tradition of virtue names on this lone child). However, Fritz' parents are thrilled with the growing family, as the majority of their families didn't endure.
