Frances Slocum

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. T is with a feeling of great reluctance that I commence this sad tale of woe and sor row which befell an ancestor of my mother in Revolutionary times. My pen is not that of a ready writer, and in the making of books, of which Holy Writ tells us there is no end, I have until now been guiltless. My only apology is that so many of my mother's family have gone to the great beyond. The youngest daughter of our grandfather, who in her girlhood, visited the lost sister, has recently passed away, and the last tie is broken connecting us with those who per sonally knew and appreciated the long-lost Frances. I find myself almost alone among those who have heard her story from our grandfather.
