sp6@lemmy.worldtoToday I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Mark Twain outlived his wife and all but one of his four childrenEnglish
32·
2 months agoFor the lazy, three of his kids died before 30:
- Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain: died at 75y/o (heart attack)
- Wife Olivia Langdon Clemens: died at 58y/o (heart failure)
- Son Langdon Clemens: died at 19 months (diptheria)
- Daughter Suzy Clemens: died at 24y/o (spinal meningitis)
- Daughter Clara Clemens: died at 88y/o (likely overdose)
- Daughter Jean Clemens: died at 29y/o (drowned in bathtub after epileptic seizure)
Worth noting the life expectancy when Mark Twain was born was about 60-65, so he did outlive the average by 10-15 years. But this is still more due to his children having tragic deaths rather than his longevity.
