Sch-37 Family. 



A family of German extraction living in Ohio. The Father, a farmer, 

 who in youth suffered from inflammation of the bowels and in middle age 

 from congestion of the brain, died at 69 years from tetanus and apoplexy. 

 Formula: 150/72 inches, build 2.0 (29). His father, a farmer, died of 

 apoplexy at 83 years. At 80 years his formula was: 150/72 inches; build 

 2.0 (29). His mother, who in middle age was subject to stomach trouble 

 and "shingles," died of old age at 83 years, having at 80 years the formula 

 130/M; build 2.3 (33 =t). Thus, this side of the house is prevailingly 

 slender. 



The Mother, who in youth was subject to hives, and in middle age to 

 asthma and eczema, has at 73 years the formula 94/63 inches; build 1.7 

 (25). Her father, a farmer, who always suffered from asthma and died 

 of it at 74 years, had at 70 years the formula 120/M; build 1.9 (27 ±). 

 Her mother, who died at 83 years of tuberculosis of intestine, had at 80 

 years the formula 110/M; build 2.0 (29 =t). This is a decidedly slender 

 family, more so than that of the paternal side. The five children: 



1. Male, who in youth had measles, whooping-cough, hay-fever, colds, 

 and, in middle age, asthma and hemorrhoids, has at 47 years the formula 

 165/72.5 inches; build 2.2 (31).
