Wednesday's Child -- Clarence Anthony Scott 1927-1927


I found Norman F. Scott's older sibling.  When we looked at NFS birth certificate, we noted that he was the second child born to this couple.  I found him.

He is Clarence Anthony Scott, and he was born 24 May 1927 in Franklin NH.  They were living on 23 Spring street at the time of his death, two and a half months later.

I couldn't find a birth certificate, nor even birth record online, but I did find his death certificate.

Whenever you see a record like this, be sure to advance one to check the backside of the record.  Sometimes there is valuable information there, too.  One other example I can think of is the WWI Draft cards.  Be sure to check the backs.

Was he a sickly child?  Did the new parents not know how to be parents?  His mother Cecelia was only 18 when her first-born died.
