Phil,did Mary die in 1849 (vs 1949?) If 1849 then that would stand to reason why Malvina might be living with someone else -- Margaret is obviously the older daughter and is taking care of the younger children and four would be a bit much so she might be living out with Larabees (is he the one whoi s the Dr? -- might need help mixing potents, etc). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip M.
