Abstract

Bernice was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 14, 1916. Her single mother was only able to hold onto her baby girl for 8 months.

Bronchial pneumonia is a common illness in infants and early childhood. This affects your lungs with bacteria and fungi. It inflames your lungs. Every second it gets harder to breathe. This is the disease Bernice got infected with.

Bernice was born into a poor household. This did not help in getting medication to help treat her Bronchial pneumonia. She was treated with home remedies such as ginger tea and blackberry tea. Unfortunately, this was not enough for Bernice’s little body to fight off the disease.

Bernice had a whole life waiting ahead of her. She did not even get the opportunity to learn how to take her first steps. After only 8 months, she passed away on May 12, 1917. She was buried at the poor farm cemetery in Milwaukee County. Now in the present, her body is in danger of being desecrated. Her soul shall be remembered well and should stay resting peacefully.
