(The 1900 Census indicated that they had 8 children, of whom 6 were living. But 7 children were listed with them, so the census enumerator must have made a mistake. The 1910 Census indicated they had 9 children, of whom 7 were living. The two deceased children must have been the "two daughters who died in infancy" that were mentioned in their brother Harold's obituary.)
