She was married on 2 Sept 1890 in Solon to Charles Frank Leavitt, and they had five children: Fred, Irving, Forrest, Gladys, and Alberta A. Still in the hospital after giving birth on the 9th, Alberta died from puerperal fever on 13 Sept 1901 in Skowhegan, aged 29 years, 6 mos, 17 das (her newborn daughter would also pass away, 5 days later). She was buried in the South Solon Cemetery and, for many years, had only a wooden cross as a grave marker. In recent years, members of my family purchased a stone for her (and now we have a third birth date for Hannah/Alberta!). |
