The year 1900 found the Bruce family at 39 Rich Street in Gardner. Two parents and six children were squeezed into that home. Only one of their flock had escaped but not too far. Their daughter, Geneva, had married three years prior and was living two doors down; raising their first grandchild. The Bruces had been married 23 years and had nine children together. Two of them had not survived to see the new century. James, 46, was employed as a night watchman.
