"Home is where one starts from. As we grow older the world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated of dead and living. Not the intense moment, isolated, with no before and after, but a lifetime burning in every moment. And not the lifetime of one man only, but of old stones that cannot be deciphered." ----- T. S. Eliot, 1888-1965 "Four Quartets, East Coker" (1940)

A bittersweet story, indeed.
ReplyDeleteA mother named Flora and a daughter named Pansy should have had a happy life together. I read about Strother's death, but couldn't get far, as that is almost how my g-grandmother died, by laying on railroad tracks. You've done a lot of research on this family, and I bet someday Flora will appear.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the vote of confidence Barbara! I'm sure she will too. I just don't understand how both parents could give up their infant daughter for someone else to raise. I don't want to judge, but I would like to know more of the story.
