Genealogical information provides the missing link. Family pictures—If we are fortunate, we have photos of those near and dear to us, and those who are far away, in distance and in time.

It is a frustrating fact that there is not more known about the early years of Lizzie Borden. Hopefully, diaries and letters will be found and published one day that will reveal more about the missing years of her life. But surely one area of her life that holds
a fascination is her grammar school years.

In the spring of 2003 I took a trip to Fall River to research a book I am still working on. The longer I studied the Borden case the more things I found that I wanted to go out there to see. Learning through Stefani Koorey’s website and source documents,
I used to only dream of being able to have access to things that were not available before—transcripts of the trial, Inquest, and Preliminary Hearing to name a few. They fueled my passion for what was already a prime interest.

In November 1849, Dr. George Parkman disappeared from the streets of Boston. His mutilated body was found in the Harvard Medical School a week later by Ephraim Littlefield, the janitor at the medical school. Dr. John White Webster, Harvard’s professor of chemistry was arrested for murder because of Littlefield’s suspicion of him. The unfortunate Dr. Webster was tried and executed for the crime in August 1850.

The publication of a nonfiction book that identified a mystery person as the murderer was the logical progression in the literature of the Lizzie Borden story. Accomplished writers such as Edmund Pearson and Victoria Lincoln have explored Lizzie as axe murderess. Radin named Bridget as the culprit; Spiering accused Emma. And Morse has been something of an accomplice in several accounts.

There appears to have been a special relationship between Lizzie Borden and a poetic work entitled “My Ain Countrie.” The words “At Hame In My Ain Countrie” are inscribed in an oak mantle in Maplecroft.
