Gordon, born in 1917, died of scarlet fever shortly after Christmas of 1923 while they were visiting his aunt and uncle, Otto and Ida. That was his second major illness that winter, the first being the measles. They were quarantined in very primitive quarters during a severe winter, and could not bring him home to bury him until January.
