Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Prose and Poetical Works of Fannie L. Michener Frances Lavinia Michener was born near Avondale, Chester County, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, April i, 1866, When about four years of age her parents removed to Wilmington, Delaware. Five years later they met with their first great bereavement in the loss of their youngest child, William Ralph Leslie, then a beautiful boy of six years. Early in the summer of 1875 Fannie was taken sick. This sickness proved to be scarlet rash, and though not dangerously ill, Leslie was not allowed to enter the sickroom. Long afterward Fannie told how, every morning, he would come to her door and ask, "How are you this morning, little sister?" She recovered rapidly; but on Monday, the 21st of June, Leslie complained of feeling so sick. Alas! it was too true: the dire disease had taken hold of his little frame. He soon grew very, very sick, and on Tuesday he was delirious. Being conscious at times, he would talk to his mother in the most loving terms. Thursday night his beautiful brown eyes grew large and bright, and glancing upward, he called, "Frankie, Frankie!" (His mother had lost a little brother named Frankie.) Friday morning, June 25, he lay still and quiet, and seemed better, but at noon, as the attendants were bending over him to administer medicine, they saw a change and knew he was dying.
