Two new additions to the family arrived in the last years of the decade.
Matilda and
Arthur were very happy to welcome their son. It was
Susanna who suggested the name
David Arthur. They were not expecting another baby so soon after little
Davey, but two years later came a baby girl.
Matilda's beloved sister had recently moved to San
Francisco with her husband, and
Arthur agreed to give their new daughter the middle name
Margaret , after her aunt.
Susanna suggested the name
Lily, after a school friend of hers who died of scarlet fever.
Matilda and
Arthur agreed and hushed people who pointed out that
Susanna and
Lily meant the same thing.
