My mother told me when daddy was in the field plowing, his field hand brought him home in terrible pain. I was not born yet. Elizabeth was about 1 year old. They took daddy to the hospital, Dr. Hill called momma and said, “I’m sorry Mrs. Sommerer the appendix has broken, the poisonn will kill him!” Momma said, ” NO IT WON’T! YOU WASH HIM OUT REAL CLEAN AND HE WILL LIVE!” Dr. Hill said, ” It’s never been done before!” She said, “YOU DO IT!” He did, and saved daddy’s life.

Who is electric field and what kinds of info was he searching for? I want to respond to Sis’s “I remember things fondly.” Thank you Lillian for putting these things on paper. I remember hearing this before, but had forgotten it. This may have been mentioned in Mothers diary, but I don’t want to go back and hunt for it. How did this article come to be on the Sommerer Web site. Is electric field Christina Rowland?? Thanks everyone bye now.
Christina Rowland says
Electric Field is a spam response that got through the spam filters
Aunt Lolly says
I can remember Mother telling us this story many times. I guess she saved Daddys life, by telling Dr. Hill what he should do.
I want to know if my nephew Lloyd Jr. is well now? Please Lloyd let us hear from you. We love you.
