MOTHER--FLORENCE AZUBRA CATHERINE WILLSON. THE BABY FLORENCE WAS ONLY 2 POUNDS
AND THEY PUT HER IN A SHOE BOX AND SET IT ON THE KITCHEN OVEN DOOR TO KEEP HER
ALIVE. THE OTHER TWIN WAS A GIRL ALSO AND WAS STILLBORN.
The second child in this family of John Willson and Catharine Misener
is a twin sister to the first child. The second child was said to be stillborn.
The first child was my maternal grandmother. She weighed 2 pounds and
they did not have incubators in those days so they put her in a shoe box
and set her on the oven door. As the mother Catherine had died in
childbirth, the baby Florence Catharine Azubra Willson was raised by
her aunt Sarah Jane Misener. The father John Willson remarried about
6 years later in 1877 to Mary Jane "Jenny" McGlashan.
