I think the parents were Cecil Sylvester and Margaret G Ward.

When we were about half way on our journey through this body of water a missionary family received  a bundle of joy, a little boy. These were lovely, young, spirited missionaries whom we had known in Hong Kong. Some of the clothes for this little newcomer had been made by the mother while in camp out of her husband's handkerchiefs.
