The children are Walter E., Harriet Magdalene (Mrs. L. G. Weld), and the twin brothers, Frank L. and Fred M., all of whom survive. Three sisters are still living: Mary Ann (Mrs. Henry Hewson), of Kansas, Sarah Catherine (widow of Adam Fussell) formerly resident in New Oregon; and Malvina Marian (Mrs. Levi Earle), of Michigan.
