He went to the drugstore and got medicine to end the pregnancy. The medicine he gave her "destroyed her body below the belt." She got so bad he took her to th hospital where she died.
Marie died in Holland May 23, 1918 just when the curfew whistle blew at 8:55 in the evening. To hear the whistle blow each day at 8:55 pm was too hard for
