  Father	Charles HEGERICH,   b. 9 Jan 1868, Boston, Suffolk, MA d. 31 Jan 1950, Boston, Suffolk, MA (Age 82 years)
  Mother	Sarah Frances HORTON,   b. 11 Oct 1870, Portsmouth, Rockingham, NH d. 25 Oct 1923, Boston, Suffolk, MA (Age 53 years)
  Marriage	1 Jun 1890	Boston, Suffolk, MA   [4]
  Notes	Philip Hegerich and Gertrude Hegerich Riley both stated, in independent letters, that their mother had 11 children. But the 1900 US Federal Population Census shows that Sarah Hegerich has had 5 children, all of whom were living, and the 1910 Census states that she has had 10 children, eight of whom are living. Further, the two children who died bteween 1900 - 1910 are known, and there is no known MA birth record for a child born after 1910. The most likely explanation is that there was a still-born child who never appeared in the census count or the MA Birth Register.
