...to be healthy with the exception of child No. 11. At one time it was thought she had a cancer. There were 10 daughters and six sons in this family. The mother and three daughters had cancers of the rectum. These children are all married and have children, but these children are too young to show any signs of cancer. The family Doctor and all their relatives seem to think that cancer in this family is hereditary. Dec 22 1926
