Some remarked how courageous she was to remain in the house alone; but others replied in a knowing way, perhaps she has very acceptable company. About the robbery, I think Mrs. Fish, or her daughter in law of Hartford knows more or less about it, if they wish to tell.) page 45:Fall River, 28, 1892.

Wow...this was a serious chunk of work. Going to take me a while to digest.

Many many thanks!

[Steve887788]

That's quite an impressive list. There were many things going on in that area, and yet people have made sure they fixed their eyes on 92 Second street on that particular day - with timelines, clocks ticking, people testifying under oath what they saw or didn't see , people going in , people coming out. In the relative short span of a few hours.

[eddzialo]

I appreciate your doing this. My second-great-grandfather was Walter O'Donnell. His shop, as you note, was O'Donnell and Simmons at 120 Second. I have often wondered what he experienced being so close to the Borden house and the events of August 4 and thereafter.

[camgarsky4]

Eddzialo - that is a really cool connection to the case. Do you still have any family in that area? Guessing the answer is no, but any family 'gossip' from those days?
