The paper "N B Chrncle"[inserted above] yesterday gave the death
in France of a cousin of ours — Whom
we did not know was there, he was
1st Leiut Francis F. Hanbidge of
Ogdensburg New York — Medical
Reserve Corps — died of phneumonia [pneumonia].

His mother was a very favorite cousin
or ours in Canada & his father
was Uncle Andrews particular
College chum, a doctor — who married
her just after he graduated about 30
years ago or more — We did not know
before that he was over there —
It is mighty sad for his parents.
Is it not — Lovingly
Mother
