HENRY LOREN HOFF NEVER GOT OVER THE PROBLEM.. IT TURNED INTO HEART TROUBLE AND BRIGHTS DISEASE. IT CAUSED BAD SWELLING AND BLOATING. IN THE FALL OF 1909 HE COULDN'T GO TO SCHOOL.(H59) 

IN OCT 1909 THE HOUSE BURNED DOWN. THE FAMILY MOVED TO K-3 FOR AWHILE WHILE THIS HOUSE WAS BEING BUILT.(H59)

HENRY LOREN HOFF SAT IN A BIG EASY CHAIR ALL THAT WINTER. HE COULDN'T BREATHE IF HE LAY DOWN ON ACCOUNT OF HIS BODY BEING SO BLOATED. THE DOCTOR CAME WEEKLY AND TAPPED (REMOVED FLUID FROM AN AREA) HIS ABDOMEN SO HE COULD BREATHE EASIER.(H59)

IN THE SPRING HE IMPROVED AND DIDN'T BLOAT. HE DIDN'T GET WELL THOUGH. HIS HEART HAD WEAKENED BEYOND RECOVERY. HE COULD WALK SHORT DISTANCES. HE WAS VERY PATIENT AND NEVER ONCE COMPLAINED IN THE EIGHTEEN MONTHS OF SUFFERING.(H59)
