Gerald's name was found in my mothers family Bible, along with his siblings Doris, Ruby, & William "Hardin". Note next to Gerald name - "died at 6mo." There was another baby listed, that of "Lawrence". The note next to that name said "died at birth.

*Sources: 1900 Census shows Daisy had 2 children but 0 were living at the time of the census.
Newspaper.com has articles of the birth & death for Gerald 1898 and Lawrence in 1915..
The family Bible had both Gerald and Lawrence names, showing Gerald died at 6mo. in and Lawrence not long after he was born.
There is some question on just how many miscarriages Daisy had. We do know she did have a hard time and sadly lost 3 that we know of.
