Publisher's Synopsis
"We don't talk about it."
That was the response from family members
whenever Claire Anthony Smith asked about
her great-grandmother, Jane Anthony, who lived
a short 33 years at the turn of the 19th century,
a time when women had no pull ... and no pill.
Jane Anthony is the ancestor with:
No photos
No letters
No diaries
No family lore
No husband
No obituary
No gravestone ...
And a mystery with No answer.
Claire Anthony Smith brings Jane to life in a
story based on written records, flavored
with a dash of informed imagination. She wrote
The Life and Unsolved Mystery of Jane Anthony
for her daughters and all descendants of Jane,
hoping that the story will be passed on to future
generations.
She also hopes that, someday, a reader will solve
the mystery.
