When Etta was three weeks old Mrs. Squires died, leaving Mr. Squires with three orphan children. Later Mr. Squires was married to Etta McCurdy. Two children, Roy and Lillie, were born to this union.

For the past sixteen years he has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Will Zeltman, and during his last illness she did all that loving hands could do.
