[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] re infant mortality

[Henry and Alice Schmidt]

Many causes can be listed, however convulsions were usually the result of high fevers.  You are correct in mentioning small pox and other communicable diseases snuffed out their little lives.  Unfortunately they did not have the antibiotics we have today.  I might add, many times the cause of death was unknown.
