Facts and Events
1st wife of Nathaniel Richardson Hall. "My oldest sister, two years younger than myself, timid and shrinking, was always in mortal dread, and in my childish weakness, I suffered for both of us. Poor sister Jane, long beyond the reach of cruelty! So gentle and kindly! She never merited, nor had to suffer hardly so much as a frown at our home. Of such as she "the pure in heart" it is written, "they shall see God". But I, who write this, know better than anyone what an unspeakable sorrow the ending of her young life caused us." (Memoirs of Dr. Robert J. Christie (I), her brother) My father, Dana Flanagan, Jr. faintly recalls that perhaps she died in childbirth. But when I pointed out that she had been married only 4 months, he immediately said, "Then that's impossible."(MF) |
