Application for admittance to the school for the deaf at St Francis is dated 1908. The hearing loss for the three sisters would have been prior to that date. In 1908 The children were: Jeanette b 1891 17 years old; Eva born 1894 14 years old, Little Marie b 1904 just 4 years old. It was not an easy situation, having three family members suddenly unable to hear. It is not known how many years passed from the time of the loss until the application for admission to school was made. In 1908 Bernard was 10 years old. If he began school at the age of 6, He was in the 4th grade when the older girls went off to school. He was the only one at the home that could be of help to his mother. There was Little Marie deaf, and Loretta just 8 years old and Leo 6 years old. It seems that my father's family had need for him to stay at home and help his frantic moth
