It has been a hard five years for the Hamiltons. The five years started out good with the last of the Hamiltons kids who Ruth named Carl. However, for awhile Carl's birth was the only good thing.
In 1917 the United States went to war and once Will turned 18 he enlisted to fight. It was a hard time for him, but luckily the war ended not long after he went to Europe and he made it out alive.
However, back home in America Ruth caught the Spanish Influenze and got very sick. After awhile of suffering she passed away leaving her kids and her husband behind. Some of the kids also got the Spanish flu, but their cases were much less sever and they ended up surviving. The whole family is devestated by Ruth's death.
On a brighter note there were three marriages in 1919. Will married Clara, a girl who he been close to for his whole life, in late January. In April Rose married a man a Jewish man from the nearby town. William was not happy about this at first, especially when Rose coverted, but he is trying to get used to get because he doesn't want to lose his daughter like his lost his wife. In August Henry married a girl named Sarah.
In late 1919 Clara gave birth to her and Will's first child, a boy who they named, William James III. To avoid confusion with Will and William they are going to have him go by Willy. Will and Clara love being parents and hope to give Willy another brother or sister.
In 1920 Rose gave birth to a little boy who she named Samuel Issur. Levi had wanted a tradional Jewish name, but he had ended up in the end letting Rose pick the first name, while he picked the middle name.
Also in 1920 Sarah gave birth to a little baby girl. Although men often wanted sons at that time Henry had wanted a little girl since he wanted to name it after his mother who had passed away. Henry and Sarah ended up naming the baby Ruth Ruby. Ruby being after Sarah.
