Good point. I mis-remembered the story. Made me look it up. It was his son who died of exposure during the carriage ride. He lost a daughter to meningitis when he was about 60. "On February 2, 1870, Mark Twain wed Olivia Langdon (known as "Livy"). That marriage, considered by many to be one of the literary world's most famous love matches, lasted until Livy's death in June, 1904. The couple were blessed with four children but only daughter Clara lived to marry and have a child. Son Langdon Clemens, a child born prematurely in 1870, died at age two. Sam blamed himself all his life for taking the child out with what he later saw as an inadequate amount of cothing. Daughter Olivia Susan ("Suzy") Clemens (1872-1896), deemed by many to be Mark Twain's favorite child, died of spinal meningitis. Daughter Jean Clemens (1880-1909)drowned in a bathtub, almost certainly during a seizure caused by the epilepsy from which she suffered. Daughter Clara Clemens married first pianist and conductor Ossip Gabrilowitsch (by whom she had daughter Nina) and then Jacques Samossoud. Samuel Langhorne Clemens died April 21, 1910 in Redding, Connecticut." marktwainonline.com That's what I get for trying to rely on my memory. Too much a'bunadh...g
