Suttee tale from Caldwell woman shocks readers
Miriam Richardson recounts a Hindu funeral rite in India where a widow was to be burned on her husband’s pyre. Her parents, missionaries in India, intervene with British law backing them. They delay the rite, distract the widow, and the fire is eventually lit for the husband alone. The widow and her son’s fate remain feared. The tale ends with the crafts of temple priests and calls for conversion.
