Young Esther M. Blatt died as an infant in 1920, after suffering from whooping cough. She was the daughter of Fred Blatt and his wife the former Martha Piehl. 

Esther was my first cousin twice removed, the first cousin of my Grandma Emma Yeager Orshoski.

Below is a tribute to baby Esther, found in a collection of family clippings.

Esther was survived by her parents, three brothers, and four sisters, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Rest in peace little one.

Note: Though the tombstone of Esther Blatt reads 1918 - 1919, her death record indicates she was born in 1919 and died on May 1, 1920.
