In Honor of a Splendid Mother!

Dora Jane (Bowlby) Wurtsbaugh Sept 4 1860 - Dec. 18, 1893

We feel the loss of your young life even yet.  What skill and love you must have had to keep a premature little baby boy born in the middle of winter alive. By keeping him in a shoe box by the stove you kept him warm.  Weighing only 1 and a half pounds, your gentle touch and love gave my grandfather a long life.  We only wish you could have raised him yourself.
