Miss Todd left at the altar

[Susan Higginbotham]

There were definitely times in their lives that they did not get along, yet there were other times that they did. While Mary lay dying, it was Ann who sat beside her throughout the night.

Interesting, thanks! Is there an account I could find of this? I am going to Springfield next month and plan to spend some time in the ALPL.

EDITED: I found the letter in question. Thanks for putting me on to its existence. Both of the major biographies of Mary seem to skim past her last days.
