I was just wondering, did Sonora Webster Carver ever have any children???
Virginia: A woman's whole life, in a single day, just one day, and then that day, her whole life.
None of the articles that I have read about Sonora Webster Carver mention any children. Below is an AP article written right after she died.

PLEASANTVILLE - Sonora Webster Carver, the first woman to ride diving horses at Steel Pier in Atlantic City, has died. She was 99.
Ms. Carver, who died Sunday at Our Lady's Residence in Pleasantville, was blinded in a diving accident in 1931 but continued to work with the animals before retiring in 1942. Her 1961 autobiography, "A Girl and Five Brave Horses," was the inspiration for the 1991 Disney film, "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken."
During her lengthy career, Ms. Carver was part of an act that included her sister, Arnette Webster French, and their friend, Josephine K. DeAngelis, who died on Saturday at age 92. The diving horses were a popular attraction at the pier for many years before being discontinued in 1978.
Ms. Carver's nephew, Donald French, said his aunt's life was a testimony to the human spirit.
"Bad things happen to people, but you can't let them get you down," French told The Press of Atlantic City for Tuesday's editions. "She represented courage, fearlessness, but also the fun of the times. She represented Atlantic City at the height of an era."
On a side note, I wondered what happened to her sister Arnette. They should have included the fact that she joined her in diving horses in the movie.
shareArnette was a diving girl also for 5 years than married a man named French and they had at least one son
