I believe that Russell and Morris were part of the George W. and Alice E. Van Clief family. They are found in Lompoc, California in the 1900 U.S. Census listed as "George R." and "David M." The birth dates given in the census would be correct, and since this census was enumerated on July 9, 1900, both boys would still have been alive at that time.
George W. Van Clief is also buried in the Lompoc Evergreen Cemetery. He died on October 21, 1936. It does not appear that Alice is buried in this cemetery.

So sad, such young babies and then the little lamb has lost it's head!
ReplyDeleteI know, isn't that sad?! It breaks my heart to see that little lamb with no head. I think it kind of represents how their family must have felt after they passed. :-(
ReplyDeleteI see you're going to be at the California Family History Expo - I hope we can meet!
ReplyDeleteYes, I will, Sassy Jane! I hope to meet you, too!
