Cecilia married Edward Rape during the early 1930's in Kincaid, Ill. They had one son, Edward David Jr. He was last heard from in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

From its context, the following article appears to be about Cecilia's husband even. The earthquake mentioned was probably related to or was the one that caused Yellowstone Park to be partially closed that year. It was so big that it caused a new lake to be created in the northern area of the park. I visited Yellowstone in September of that year, shortly after the earthquake.

Masthead and date missing (probably the Taylorville Breeze-Courier, about 1959):
