Location: West Morgan, NYThis year the Riether's moved to West Morgan, NY. They discovered that Jessie had asthma, so they had to move away from all of the smog. For awhile, the children were mad at Jessie for being the cause of the move, but after they started making friends, they got over it and forgave her. Isaiah is having more success with being a doctor, because in West Morgan there is less competion than in NYC.

It is now 1915. The Halloway family has had a rough five years. In 1911, Edward was shot by someone he was trying to apprehend. He was shot in the leg, and spent almost 7 months recovering. When he was cleared by the doctors to return to work, the police department put him at a desk job. Edward worked there for a year and a half before he had had enough. In 1914, Edward decided to move the family to Colorado so that he could work in the field again. Edward was hired as the deputy sheriff in a mid-sized Colorado town. The family now lives there, and Edward enjoys his job quite a bit more.In 1912, Lou found herself expecting another baby. The baby was born nearly two months early and was a stillborn little boy. The family mourned the loss of the child, but were more worried when Lou developed an infection after the birth. During this period, Edward and Adam were very helpful in taking care of the younger four kids. Lou was sick for about a month, but then recovered. The doctors told her that she would bear no more children; however, they were surprised when, in 1914, Lou found herself pregnant! The Halloways welcomed another little boy on June 2, 1915. Stephen is only a few months old, but already he is well loved by every member of the family. Adam is now fifteen. He enjoys wandering around in the Colorado wilderness, and has become quite adept at finding his way around in the woods and mountains there. He still wants to be an explorer, but thinks that maybe he will do something a little more practical. Just what, he hasn't decided. Ben is ten. He hasn't matured a whole lot in the past five years. He's a bit of a troublemaker, and also likes being outside. He especially likes the wide open spaces in Colorado and going fishing.

AS: Erik Olof [2] (7 August 1913)Location: MinnesotaThings are going well for the Swedish emmigrant family. They have now lived in Minnesota for 15 years and the farm is getting bigger every year. They have been able to buy more land and they have never regretted that they left the hard life in Sweden. They have been blessed with 8 healthy children altough August and Kristina still mourn the death of little Anna.
They have also welcomed a little orphened boy to their family. Erik, the son to a single mother, was left on his own when the mother died in pneumonia. Kristina who was her friend, promised to take care of the little boy until family in Sweden had enough money to cross the Atlantic sea to take him home, but as time passed the Karlsson family realised that no one would come for Erik and they have now sent a letter to Erik's relatives in Sweden asking to adopt him offically.
