Old Maids and a Tragic Moral in Virginia Style
A Nashville American excerpt recounts two Virginia maiden ladies who chose suicide over aging without marriage. The piece critiques matrimony’s primacy, moralizing that old maidhood warns of folly while praising a selfless heroine. It also notes Hood’s Sarsaparilla and a political note about ROwell G Morr declining a U S Consul post at Valparaiso.
