Additional Comments:
Nellie M. Prosser was born on January 16, 1874, in  Charlestown, Washington, 
Rhode Island and died October 20, 1896, in Westerly, Washington, Rhode Island. 

Nellie's father was Isaac Stillman Prosser (17 Nov 1830 - 1 Nov 1895), and her 
mother was Phebe Watrous (2 Feb 1842 - 12 Sep 1910).  Nellie marrie  Joel 
Watrous (9 Aug 1861 - 15 Feb 1900), on 16 Sep 1893.
Nellie gave birth to their daughter Florence Ruth Watrous (14 Oct 1896 - 25 
Jan 1952), in Westerly, Rhode Island and then perished six days later from 
Puerperal fever (from the Latin puer, child), also called childbed fever. 
Nellie contracted Puerperal sepsis, a serious form of septicaemia shortly 
after childbirth, and it proved fatal.  Puerperal fever is now rare in the 
nations with modern medical practices due to improved hygiene during delivery. 
and deaths have been reduced by antibiotics.
