Misery in Chicago

Evelyn Triebess was the only one in her family having a fun over the winter of 1920, as the "Local Drifts" column of the Hobart Gazette reported on March 19, 1920.

John C. [Julius] Triebess was out from Chicago Tuesday looking after some interests at his farm, south of Ainsworth. Mrs. Triebess, he said was in a hospital, recovering from an operation last week Wednesday for tumor, and his son is very poorly, having lost 30 pounds in weight since they moved to Chicago last fall. He has some heart trouble, and has to remain in bed most of the time.

Speaking of Raymond Triebess, Evelyn happened to preserve in her scrapbook the record of his transfer in 1917 from a Chicago school to the Ainsworth school.
