Also, as this is my first post, I would like to say hi to everyone. I've been a member for a few months now, but I've just been lurking.

Thank you very much! Though I have been quiet, I have found this forum very informative, and love reading the different ideas that are tossed about.1bigsteve @ Thu Feb 09, 2006 9:03 pm wrote:So, you have been lurking around the forum, eh Elizabeth? Well, that explains that breath I have been feeling on the back of my neck as I dig through the archives late at night. I thought it was a burgler. I was about to scream!
Welcome aboard Elizabeth. I hope you enjoy the ride. Have fun!![]()

If she had to pack, was she using those huge traveling trunks, or was a smaller type of baggage used? If she planned to stay as long as was stated I don't think she exactly brought a small overnight type bag with her and that is all. Did she have to pack those big voluminous dresses, shoes, undergarments, stockings, nightgowns, perhaps things like fans, and toiletries into those big old trunks? Next who would move those trunks or baggage from the house, to the carriage, to the station? She was staying with elderly people who I can't see as being able to move any of those things. Who helped her move her baggage after she had reached Fall River? Where did it go after she came in the house? How did it get in the house?
Next what exactly did the telegram say? Did it simply say 'Father is very sick, please come home?' Dr. Bowen was asked to word it carefully. Bridget stated in her testimony that she said she wished she knew where Mrs. Whitehead lived so she could go and see if Mrs. Borden was there and tell her that Andrew was very sick. Is this all Emma was told?
