  David and Kate's child who died before 1900 was most llikely the infant girl, Janie M.Buchanan, (b-d 1899) who is buried near David and other members of this family in Zion Cemetery. Also, Matilda Buchanan, wife of Thomas, was a Hubble by birth, suggesting that she and Thomas might have been aunt and uncle to Kate, not David.4,5

Kate had given birth to one additional child after the 1900 census but this child was not alive in 1910.6 
  The additional child who was born after 1900 and died before 1910 was most likely Nina M. Buchanan (1904-1908) who is also buried near David and other family members.
