The girl died when 5 years old from a concussion and the boy drowned when he was 14 in the Colorado River at Wharton. (They were on a family outing and they were wading in about 4 inches of water when he stepped into a 25 foot suck hole. Charles Wilson almost lost his life trying to save the young man.

She married W. H. Baker, he only lived 9 months and she was a widow again. (She was is at rest next to Mr. Thompson in Victoria, Texas.).
