One more: In 1900 1% of American women giving birth died in labor. Today the five-year mortality rate for localized breast cancer is 1.2%. So being pregnant 100 years ago was almost as dangerous as having breast cancer is today.

Being born in America in 1900 gave you a 79% chance of living for five years. Today, the five-year survival rate for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is 82%. So just being a kid 1900 was riskier than having lymphoma is today.

Its kind of crazy. My father in law was so sick with follicular lymphoma ten years ago with little visible help from chemo apart from nearly killing him. Finally received rituximab and has been going strong ever since!

I came across this doing family tree in Ancestry. Families MUCH bigger back then and death of children was not uncommon.

I am fascinated when visiting small, old cemeteries in our rural area. The number of parents who lost multiple children from unknown causes is unbelievable. And horrifying.
