Lizzie Borden Society Forum

Lot of "facts" I never heard of at this site. Some of them stunningly inaccurate.

Harry any truth at all to Lizzie having worked in the library? First time I have seen that??See below for quote

Lizzie is afforded many specialties as one of the wealthier youths in the area - she graduates high school and spends many of her free days working at the library and reading books.

First time I ever heard of it, Bobbie. IMO, it's HIGHLY doubtful.

She didn't graduate from high school either.

There is certainly a lot of mistakes but you have to wonder, just where do they get their information. Eli Bence and Lizzie were high school friends? That is new to me too. Wonder if the ages are even close? Oh and the barn is now 120 degrees. It is fun spotting the errors and frustrating that there is so much misinformation out there.

There's some whoppers in there. Here's a good one describing Abbie's wounds:

"Contrary to the poem, she only received eighteen blows from the axe. Her face is literally crushed to a pulp by the sheer force of the blows. Her skull is split in 6 places. Both of her shoulders are dislocated, and she is disemboweled by a sweeping vertical blow to her front side. Mercifully, the autopsy suggests she is dead by the first or second blow."

Huh! I missed 90% of that in my previous readings.

Sadly, it cites LizzieAndrewBorden.com as one of the sources. Jeesh!

Disemboweled, that sure was one hatchet job!!!!

This is what I get when I click on your link.

Am I the only one?

I just checked the link. It worked fine for me, went right to the article.

How curious! Sometimes I get the web site, other times I get what Kat got.

The spirit of Lizzie is haunting that site- it's that bad.

Took me three tries but I finally got there. Interesting, at least it has a few bits of truth in it. I am certainly glad that is not the first thing I read about Lizzie, don't know if (from that) I would have been reading anymore.

I tried to get into the web site three times yesterday- changed my browser and still could not get in; I was getting the same thing as Kat. I tried it again today and it worked! ( ??? ) I printed out the article.
