I recall my Great Aunt Mattie telling me of the birth of Little Hoskins. She told me she had held him, temporarily, after my Grandmother's very difficult delivery of him. His birth required the use of forceps. He had died moments after his birth. She also stated my Grandmother was inconsolable.
As I reflect on the story, I can only imagine the sadness my beloved grandmother had experienced.
