DS: Gordon Rudolph (December 19, 1912)The war has claimed her estranged husband's life and Winifred is trying her damnedest to raise her children to the best of her ability, yet ten children is difficult to handle. Happily two of her daughters have married and started their own families. Unfortunately, Dale impregnated his fifteen year old girlfriend and they are now the parents of a beautiful baby girl. The girl's parents are not sure if they want their daughter to marry Dale now, yet the young couple is fighting for their love. Stella married Thomas Albert Auboin at the age of sixteen and welcomed their daughter at the age of seventeen. Her sister, Winnie, welcomed a daughter at the age of sixteen and married the father within days of her birth. It was about eleven months later when their son was born. Winnie is pregnant yet again.

But with so man men returning from overseas, a job is hard to come by nowadays. So far Anthony has found work in a factory, but even that is barely enough to make ends meet.Michael is still working the clinic and hopes to save enough money to be able to go to medical school soon. He is engaged to his childhood sweetheart Nora Tenney; the two plan to get married and start a family within the next year.William immediately enlisted in the army upon turning 17, but he was still only in training when the armistice was signed in November. Dejected, he returned home to Boston.

First, Edward and Stella married. It was a big, wonderful ceremony. Everyone was very happy.
Next, Kelly's brother sent a letter informing Kelly and Rose that his son, their nephew, Cary Gunn, had been accepted to a very prestigious school near Kelly and Rose's home. He asked that Cary be allowed to live with them so he could go to that school. Since Kelly and Rose had plenty of space in the house, they were happy to take him. He's a very polite and intelligent young man.
Then, Sophy began dating a Mr. Emilian Prescott. Again, both families approved of the relationship.This year, two important things happened:
First, Sophy and Emilian married. Both sets of parents hope for grandchildren soon from them.

We also recently inherited a large sum of money from Arie's great-aunt. She had no children or grandchildren of her own or any other family members. A lot of the money will go towards school fees for the children as well as for a wedding for Lilah and her boyfriend of 4 years, Oren Dexter Haywood. We also have now adopted Adrienne.
