Notes for Rachel Josephine HILTON
According to Lewis Parker Abell, "At least one other child, a girl,
who died after the return to Canada. It was frequently remarked by
friends and acquaintances how nearly alike the Hilton 'twins'
appeared to be in all but their hair, the curly light ringlets of the
other child contrasting so vividly with wavy-brown of 'Josie'."
