Among the stretcher cases was Albert Walter Stevens, a younger brother of Mom's, just 13 days shy of his 22d birthday. His address was listed as Suite 1, 326 Young Street, so it is seems Albert was returning to his mother's home (where 23-year-old Hazel and 17-year-old Wes also lived) to convalesce.
It was reported that Albert had suffered a broken leg in Holland.
At that time Mom was the only one in the household with a job, so it was a good thing she had a solid position with Dale & Co. Insurance.
