THE HILLMANNS OF BROOKLYN
CHAPTER 50
1936
BON VOYAGE
In 1936 stress was first recognized as a medical condition. Marian Hillmann Hearn was experiencing it in an unhappy marriage. She went to see her parents off on a trip to Florida. Rose's brother, Henry, and her sister, Angelica, eventually lived in Florida. Also in 1936, Rose's oldest sister, Henrietta, died. Henrietta was the only one of the five siblings to never marry. She was a seamstress. She was estranged from her sister, Rose, at the time of her death. Henrietta left derogatory remarks describing her dislike for Rose in her will.
The Hillmanns took very few pictures in 1936. I think with Marian grown and gone there was less reason for Herman or Rose to take pictures. There are no pictures of this trip in Rose's album. Marian was unhappy in 1936. These are the only pictures from that year.
Herman and Rose are looking older. Hillmanns albums come out on Tuesdays, and the one coming out next Tuesday is much better than this one.
