Notes:

from the Milan Republican 14 Nov 1901 (infant child of Mark Pinkney DeWitt and Bertha Agnes Swanger)
Another Sister Bereaved
Again the editor is called upon to mourn with a sister. the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. M.P. DeWitt,
born Nov 7, 1901, died Monday evening, Nov 11, 1901. Sorrow makes us all akin, but the troubles
of a sister become as personal bereavements.

A tender bud sprang into existence in the family of M. P. DeWitt one week ago today, a surce of mutual
happiness to the fond parents, but it was not in the purpose of Providence that it should ever be a full-blown flower....

It was taken along with a photo of Jefferson Swanger's home in Milan which was referred to as grandpa Swanger's home. So Jefferson's contempory would be Mark Pinkney DeWitt.
