The deceased twin was a daughter, the surviving twin was a son named Albert. Henry & Mary had 2 more sons & removed to Texas ca1907/8 where he died in 1909. She returned to Clayton county for a time then removed to Minnesota where she died in 1979. She was nee Mary Petschauer.

A likely burial place for the little twin is St. Mary's Catholic cemetery, Guttenberg & should be confirmed.

News article announcing the twins birth:

What is Henry Floeder setting them up for? Some say it is because of the arrival of a girl, others say it is on account of the arrival of a boy, but it is all on account of twins, a girl and a boy, that took up their abode with them Tuesday. All concerned are doing well but Henry has not quite recovered from the shock.
