Daughter of Daniel W. and Matilda Ann (Hale) Conant. Died at home at 346 Chestnut Street.

There are two children, supposedly twin girls of Carrie and James, recorded in Gardner's birth records for April 12th 1888. It just seems odd that the entries for their daughters, Florence Julia and Carrie, were not right next to each other. The clerk also did not mark the births as twins. Each entry has different birth places for the parents as well. It makes one wonder if the children are the same child but in the 1900 census Mrs. Bruce declared she had given birth to nine children. A ninth cannot be found unless the baby girl, Carrie, born in 1888 was in fact a twin of Florence. Little Florence died less than two weeks old. No other evidence of what may have happened to her sister had been discovered.
