Mamoo: She does remember that.
So he married Arthemise and they had how many children?
Mamoo: Thirteen.
Alice:	So they said. I have counted five.
Mamoo:	I know Alice but a lot of them died when they were born or
died before they were born. So I understand.
Alice:	I don't know how on earth they died and I can't imagine
any family as well off as they were to have allowed their children to die like that.
Mamoo: Well Alice, in those days there was no way of keeping them alive.
Alice: And they had yellow fever, which was an awful thing.
Mamoo: So only about six of them grew up.
Alice: Five.
Mamoo:	Six, I	think.
Alice:	Uncle Harry, Uncle Albert, Uncle David...
Mamoo:	And Uncle Gus. That's four. And then two sisters. That's
six. Two daughters and four sons grew up.
And who was the other daughter besides your mother?
Mamoo:	Alice	Baldwin and	Arthemise Baldwin	who	married	William
Qttman in New	York City, whose	daughter is still living	there	in
New York City	and she died	when	her daughter	was	born.
Alice died when her daughter was born?
