September 23, 1889
November 29, 1930Hattie married James Brown after the death of her first husband. Unfortunately, a few years later James developed TB and Hattie caught it from him. Since TB had to be isolated in sanitorium's in those days, they were faced with being sent away to a state ran sanitorium possibly for the rest of their lives. They committed suicide instead which explains the death on the same days of November 28, 1930 for each of them. Their deaths were by pistol. | |
