She found Jim about to call his sister-in-law, to stay with Gladys as he went for his mother. It was a difficult delivery and for a little while, Minnie feared for her daughter-in-law’s life as well as that  of the baby, but in the end the baby boy was born healthy and Gladys was proving to be stronger than she had first thought. It was 6:15 that evening when she was called to Pearl and Oliver’s home to help with the delivery of their fourth child, although both had children from previous marriages.  The baby, another boy, was born at 8:05 with neither mother nor son showing any detrimental affects. At 9:30, Aunt Minnie paid another visit to Susie who proved to be doing fine, and with orders to both families to call on her at once if there was any change during the night, She left for home at 10:30.
There she found Gladys and her grandson, both in good health. As she prepared to retire for the night, aunt Minnie, looked at the $1.50 in her hand. An honest day’s wages, she thought, as she gave thanks that everything had gone well, and that all six souls entrusted to her care were healthy in both mind and body. She would have a follow up visit tomorrow but tonight she would sleep content with a job well done.
