Actually many babies were killed coroners records, town records, quaker minutes, poor house records, the world is unfortunately the same, there are just more of us.

Yet today we find babies in trash bins, garbage pails, bath rooms, so perhaps things aren't so much different...today. At least they didn't murder their babies. [that we know of] I am surprised to see that it was happening as late as 1929! Wonder what made them stop it?
