"White Medicine Woman"

Back to Illinois

Frank did not want to go back

       Yet, he was unsure how to raise the boys

Or if he was able to do so

       So, he took them back to Illinois

A hundred years ago it wasn’t proper

       To raise kids without a woman by your side

So, my great-grandpa headed back East

       After his beloved Rebecca died

They packed up and headed for town

       Where they would catch the train

Stopping at the gravesite to say goodbye

       Some would never be back again

Frank did his best to get the boys

       To where they would receive care

Both his family and Rebecca’s sisters

       Stepped in and helped out there
