Emma wrote in little Joe's [Joseph Klyde Edwards] baby book, 1925: "When you were 5 months old we were going over to your Grandma Millers in the sleigh. One runner ran up on the bank and the other in the soft snow making the sleigh tip over on its side and threw you and me out in the snowdrift. You were asleep and never even woke up." -- Esther Rogers, March 3, 2013
