In 1915 with Mary "May" expecting their second child, they rode horse back from the mine to Redding, CA. where May Louise was born the next day. The mine was closing and Joseph and family were asked to move to Mexico and work for the mining company. May was ill and doctors couldn't seem to help her. Joseph took her and family to Spain to doctors. While there May Louise was badly burned and could not leave so Joseph left the family in Spain so he could get back to start his job in Mexico.
