I wish you had been more specific! I'm certainly not a Fanny Parnell expert, but I used contemporary newspaper sources for this account of her death and funeral. Was the error in her poem, which makes up the majority of the post? I wish you could clarify your accusation. Otherwise, I'm afraid your own comment is nothing more than internet trolling.Rob Velellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284492589098267999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7499582243291531753.post-39680864577823102652011-09-19T10:01:07.886-04:002011-09-19T10:01:07.886-04:00Many incorret statements in this unreliable accoun...Many incorret statements in this unreliable account.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7499582243291531753.post-1333799624445099662011-07-21T07:37:20.736-04:002011-07-21T07:37:20.736-04:00Both of these comments were interesting, and certa...Both of these comments were interesting, and certainly added to the understanding of Fanny Parnell's death.
