in reply to a message by Emily Amy
The year is 1919. (Five Years Later)
In the meantime, there was a war to end all wars, and now "in Flanders Fields, the poppies grow...:"
Family 1- Cranbourne Park, Newhamshire, England & New York, NY
Earl of Newhamshire, England
Estate: Cranbourne Park (ishild)
ex-DW (1889): Mabel Anna Catherine Wilkins Granville(cher529s)
--DBF(1893): Benedict Arnold James
ex-DH (1880): Hugh William Amis Granville (glassmidnight)
-DS (1911): John Clement Wilkins Granville (skinnyminnie)
-DD (1914): Alida Claire Georgiana Granville (Amoret)
Nanny(1886): Bette Jane Abbott
❤️
Family 2- Rodchester, Minnesota, & Lyon, France
ex-DBF(1892): Dr. Roy Edward Sandstrom (Wordsmith) (ishild also picked Roy)
ex-DGF/DW(1892): Elizabeth Ingrid Lindholm Firmin "Beth" (Cinnabar) (also Genevieve, Guest, Ohad Yigal picked Elizabeth)
DH(1888-1917): Edgar Aubert Firmin (Story (Mason Thursday))
-DD(1915): Fleur Hester Firmin
ex-DBF's Roommate (1892): Ennis Patrick O'Callaghan (Amoret)
Beth's degree was in journalism; so while in France, she sent information about events in France back home, mostly about daily life and the aftermath of the battles. She wrote everyday in her journal as well as letters to friends, family and her beloved husband. They welcomed a daughter in 1915, and while Edgar wasn't there, they agreed on a name in their letters. In 1917, Edgar died. Beth was devastated and left France when it was possible. She moved to Minnesota with her daughter.
Roy was drafted soon after he graduated from medical school. He spent a few months doing intake physicals, before going through training and sent to work in battlefield hospitals. He saved many lives and many limbs, but not all. He has returned home and is now working at the Mayo family's practice. He got to see Ennis, who was a pilot during the war. Both he and Beth are haunted by their time in France. Their families are hoping they'll get back together, but for now, they're just best friends.

Family 3- Derry Church, Pennsylvania
the Beatty family
George's Mother (1854): Philadelphia Comfort Beatty née Wickes (Wraith)
DH(1885): George Frank Beatty (AhaRememo)
DW(1882): Alice Martha Reid Beatty (RowenaRavenclaw)
-DD(1912): Julia Irene Beatty named for second class passenger, Mrs. Irene Colvin Corbett (glassmidnight)
-DS(1913): Sydney Carton Beatty (Genevieve)
-DS(1916): Glenn Franklin Beatty
-D?(1919): Edwina Morgan Beatty or Edward “Ned” Morgan Beatty
George and Alice welcomed another son in 1916. George registered for the draft, but wasn't picked, due to being over 30 and having a young family who needed him. Though less affected by the war, they were still delighted when the Armistice was signed in November of 1918. They are currently expecting another baby in 1919. This baby will have the initials E. M. after an older relative who died recently of "Spanish Flu".
