NOTE - Hettie had indicated that 12 of her 14 children were still alive as of 1 Jun 1900. To the best of my records, there were only 11 as 3 had already died. Those that died before 1900 were sons Andrew Jackson Darner in 1898, Henry Nelson Darner in 1882, and James M. Darner in 1880. The death records for Henry Nelson Darner are a little sparce so they might be misleading and he may have lived past 1900 but there are no records about him.
