Emeline kept her appointment to see Dr. Hartlin about her eye. She was there in his office two hours or more. He examined it again, said there was some change. Seemed to be in another, smaller spot. He called in Dr. De Ruth and together they examined it closely. Then E. said they met in another room and had quite a consultation. Didn’t give her much satisfaction as to what they thought was the matter.

They didn’t seem to think there was anything thing she could do about it. Only wait and see what developed. Did mention X-ray treatment. Which is a disturbing thought for us.

*This is the first entry in Keo’s journal about her sister Emeline’s physical problems. It would turn out to be cancer and spread rather quickly. Emeline dies within the year. In this photo of Keo with her sisters, circa late 1930s, Emeline is at the far left. Keo is seated next to her.
