Today’s Dethroned Yet Truly Morbid Fact!
The reality of life in Fall River, Wisconsin in 1890:
“Mrs. Carter, residing at Trow’s Mill, who has been in charge of the boarding house at A.S. Trow’s cranberry marsh, was taken sick at the marsh last week and fell down, sustaining internal injuries which have dethroned her reason. She has been removed to her home here and a few nights since arose from her bed and ran through the woods… A night or two after she was found trying to strangle herself with a towel… It is hoped the trouble is only temporary and that she may soon recover her mind.” (September 8, 1890)

Thanks – did I see a hole in her sister’s skull, or was that just blood, poor clarity, and wishful thinking…?
