The “Passing On” of the Haviland children: Part Two

This week, we’re diving back into the story of Sarah Haviland, getting into her trial, punishment, and other finer details of the case.  While we left off our last episode with a coroner’s jury heading to Sarah’s door on Saturday, December 16, 1865, let us rewind a bit, to the start of that week, and review the actions a mother took in 1865 that turned this story into a tragedy.
