California, two young ladies, betweeni
whom, though not of king strong
friendship existed. They were married
at the. same time and by the, same ser,
vice. They then took up their resi-
dences, one at Heywards and the other
at Alvarado. Inthe course of time, they
gave birth to children on the same day,
the birth of one child preceding that of,
the other by two hours. Three weeks
later, both children died on the same
day, the elder dying just two hours be-
fore the other. Three weeks after the,
death of the children, both mothers died
on the same day. 81
