This family enumerated #172/173 pg 130A (ancestry.com image 19/29). Living in the same neighborhood were Robert's siblings, Frances Pyatt Baird, John L Pyatt, James M Pyatt and George W Pyatt.
When I have abstracted this family on the 1910 and 1920 census, I'm sure we will find more children born to them. If anyone can add to this line - please let me know. It appears that the two children who were born and died in the early 1900s were buried at the Galum Cemetery where Robert and Anna were later buried.
