On the 1900 census for Worcester Mass, there is a listing for Hattie M.L. Childs, musician. It's got to be her! She lived at 11 Murray Ave (possibly in an apartment) with her husband Harry A. who was a bookkeeper in a Printing? shop. She was born in Apr 1870, as was her husband. They had been married 5 years and had no children.
Searching marriage records by Harry's name, I found a listing for him and Hattie M Lynn Kittridge on 12 April 1895, so I really do think it's her. However on the marriage record, she's listed as a bookkeeper, too. I wonder if she just up and decided to play the harp one day...
Her parents on the 1900 census are listed as: Charles W Barker, Sarah E Barker, on her marriage license they are: Charles W, Sarah E Knapping. ???
And sadly, Harry is listed as divorced in the 1910 census and living back at home with his mom.
