My 3x great-aunt, Blanche, with her younger twin brother and sister, Edwin and Edna in 1907, watched her parents be murdered after she couldn’t stop their killer. She was left guardian of her six siblings at eighteen years old.

Love this picture 🤍
Their story is 💔
I hope they found/ lead peaceful lives.
I can’t even begin to imagine the strength that took! I hope Blanche was loved deeply by her family
Why were the parents murdered???
I hope there were other family members to step in and help her.
Do we know what happened to her afterwards? Did she have a long life or children of her own?
That’s such a heavy burden too carry, I can imagine she wouldn’t want to be responsible for anyone else ever again
