Carrol, I think that was another daughter and son-in-law. But, I could be wrong. One of his daughters is mentioned on the plaque at the site in question.

Tussy committed suicide. The daughter in Paris, Laura, died early of natural causes, I believe. "J.

Laura married Paul Lafargue. She and her husband both committed suicide sometime after 1910. I have (long ago) read a letter Lenin wrote (I forget the recipient) in which he speaks of the shock the suicides caused in revolutionary circles. For information on all three sisters and their relations to the Paris Commune, see Yvonne Kapp, *Eleanor Marx*, Vol. 1, pages 125 forward. Eleanor's suicide had its grounds in clinical depression but many events, including the misdeeds of her companion, Aveling, triggered it. See Kapp, Vol. 2 for that. Laura's suicide, on the basis of what little I have read on it, is somewhat "suspect" in that it may reflect the way in which male dominance can/did affect even revolutionary women -- she may have committed suicide only because Paul's indirect pressure. During the time of the Commune Laura was preoccupied with the illness of one of her children. Paul Lafargue was in Paris part of the time but was not among those captured and executed. Carrol
