Denial by New York child society over suicide report
A Tribune reader note clarifies that a sensational claim of a 16 year old girl’s suicide after losing her infant to the Gerry Society is inaccurate. It states the case involved Maria Sicar Taolmina, her marriage in 1907, desertion, a 1908 birth, family discord, and the infant left with the paternal grandmother while the husband and wife reconciled later that year.
Mother’s death blamed on own despair in 1908 case
In a 1908 statement Secretary E Fellows Jenkins of the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children clarifies that the tragedy stemmed from the mother’s actions and not cruelty by any society. He notes the paternal grandmother took the child to an infant asylum with the priest’s written statement and Brooklyn charity approval, and denies forcible separation or any involvement by the Gerry society.
