f a m i l y Siblings: Alice M DeWaele Paul L DeWaele Joseph Leo Sr. DeWaele Lorraine Philomen DeWaele Arthur N. Jr DeWaele Born: 3 May 1906, Bay City, MI Died: 5 May 1906 Occupation: had a bad heart, died a few days after birth Wrapped in Helen's wedding gown. John Arthur Thorne writes: From Michigan Death Index - Bay County; Death Records Vol D-E (1893-1946); P.18, Record #10473, May 5, 1906. Arthur N. DeWaele, male/white/ single, 2 days old, Died of convulsions. Parents: Arthur N. DeWaele and Helen Archambault. Sandra Kay has a picture of infant Arthur in his baptismal gown, being held by Arthur Sr. The gown was made from Grandma's (Helen) wedding dress; and all the DeWaele children were baptized in it. The gown was "resurrected" in 1991 for Kylee Thorne's baptism; and (I believe) it was worn by Molly O'Donnell in 2001. That's a span of 95 years. Great tradition! Sandra Thorne Borgon writes: My understanding is that baby Arthur died of a weak heart.
