After the death of her husband in 1881, Lydia M. Knapp went to school and learned to be a midwife. Returning to Richmond, she helped with the births of over 1,300 babies in Richmond and surrounding communities.

Her record books survive today, and thanks to the help of her descendants Kathy Webb and family, those records are now available on FamilySearch.org.

I had finally found the time to watch 'Escape From Germany', a film about LDS Missionaries evacuating the country just days before World War II began. One elder in particular caught my eye, as I thought I had seen him before.
