FROM: Handwritten note by Coral Swartz
Arthur had a stroke 1915 diabetic. Really a sick man until he died April1922.
Lewis had to do the farming. Coral said life may have been tough but they
didn't know it. She said Clair was named Willis Clair but a hired handcalled
him Willie so Arthur said call him Clair.

FROM: Handwritten note by Ethel
I remember my father Arthur Louis Swartz reciting this piece when I was akid.
Mary's eyes were bruised with tears,
Mary's heart was sick with loss;
Mary prayed with her dear son
Kneeling by a wooden cross.

Mary knew a blessed peace,
When the agony was through
but another grieved till death
Judas had a mother, too.
