Hannah and the Broken String

CW: This post mentions maternal and fetal mortality.
A visit to Hannah Treat, an offering from a recently transitioned porcupine. Hannah and her infant son, Albert Franklin died in 1865, possibly in childbirth, possibly in the house in the lavish house her husband, Franklin Treat, had just built. A year after Hannah and Albert’s deaths, Treat launched a schooner from Marsh Bay, named after himself. It showed up in ports across the world carrying lumber, fruit, and rubber.
