Within a few weeks she married E.B. Hall and
settled into a loveless marriage for the financial
purposes of her father.
The two men were very happy but Frances
was so devastated, she committed suicide. The
story diverges here. Some say she drowned
herself in the fountain on the property, others
say she died in the nearby gristmill.
Wither way, the grief-stricken girl died an
unhappy soul that was unfulfilled and cheated
in life. Anyway, it would seem that Mr. E.B.
Hall wasn't too upset by his wife's demise because
he married her sister Antoinette shortly
after.
When they returned to the Pink House
after their honeymoon, they brought a small
daughter with them.
When the child was about two years old,
she drown in the fountain, much like her
dead aunt had. Legend has it that the spirit
of Frances was angry that her husband had
remarried so fast, she took her vengeance
out on the child.
After a few more years, Antoinette had
another child and fearing the spirit of her
sister would harm this child as well, she
decided to make a bedroom in the tower
room of the house. In the window, was
placed a candle that was never to burn out.
All servants were instructed to keep the
candle burning at all times to keep the candle
lit. To this day, although replaced with
electric lights now, the light remains in the
tower window.
And so the stories go. Two deaths, unrequited
love, vengeful spirits and a beautiful
poem. I think it's a good story.
