From Missouri Record of Death Transcript:
Jackson County, Roll C15090
~ Werner, Clara
~ Jul. 5, 1888
~ Female
~ White
~ Age: 11mo
~ Born: Missouri
~ Place of death: 1705 W 8th
~ Cause of death: Convulsions

(#10) Because of the location at the time of birth and the other family burials in Union cemetery during this same time period, I believe these twin babies are likely buried with their father and nieces. Because cemetery and state records are limited (cemetery records were lost when the sexton's cottage burned down in 1889), we may never be 100% certain.

Have since found family document written by Emily Werner, sister-in-law to the twins, who passed away in 1986 stating that the twin girls lived to be 6 & 9 mos old and that they are buried in Union Cemetery.
