from a story by Alice Adeline Southam Cook (20 July 1889 - 15 January 1980
MABEL WAS BORN The mumps going down on me did not affect me like it does some people as our first daughter, Mabel, was born the following January 11, (1914) at 10:25 AM. It was Sunday morning and those going to Sunday School saw Dr. Heber Robinson come to our home. The neighbors were anxious to hear what we had and several of them told me that they were about as happy as we were when they heard we had a girl. She was a tiny little thing weighing only five and one half pounds. Sadie Drysdale was the nurse.
[The relation to the Cook family was one of Henry Drysdale's sister's Rose Minette Drysdale had married a fellow named Freemont Cook who had later removed to McGrath ,Canada.]
