Louisa May Alcott
February 15th, 2010
What happened to the daughter of May Alcott’s, (Louisa M Alcott’s sister) daughter?
What happened to May Alcott’s daughter, Louisa May Nieriker Rasim, 1879 – 1975? How did she die? What happened when Louisa died?
does anyone know? I’m very curious.
LMA’s niece was close to 96 when she passed away in Germany. Cause of death need not have been dramatic. She was buried in Germany. http://www.xanth.de/alcott/lulu_e.htm
There are good online resources regarding the Alcott family.

“May died December 29th of the same year. Her dying wish was for Louisa to care for her namesake, Lulu. In 1880 Lulu moved to Boston with Louisa and helped to bring joy and fulfillment to Alcott’s life.”

LMA died relatively young, at the age of 56. Throughout her life, she suffered from mercury poisoning contracted while serving as a Civil War nurse. (She had been given 2 poisonous medical dosages by doctors.This was a common treatment in those days.)
“She fell into a coma from which she never recovered while caring for her ailing father, dying just a few days after he did, and is buried across the feet of her father, mother, and sister Lizzie.”

Her burial spot is in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord.

The Life of Louisa May Alcott $25.99 She wrote some of the most beloved stories of all timeLittle Women and Little Menand some sensationalistic (but lesser known) potboilers that still thrill: A Long Fatal Love Chase, Paulines Passion and Punishment, and others. Novelist Louisa May Alcott (18321888) is an American treasure, one of the best known novelists of the 19th century and an essential figure in the literature and the social movements (early feminism; abolition) of her day. This early biography, by American writer EDNAH DOW LITTLEHALE CHENEY (18241904) and first published in 1888, explores and gives context to Alcotts works through the prism of her life and her experiences. From her povertystricken childhood in Concord, Massachusetts to her time as a nurse for the Union Army during the Civil War to her travels in Europe, this is an intimate look at Alcotts life, told in part through her own words. As a contemporary of Alcott, Cheney brings a perspective that no future biography could add, making this an endlessly valuable addition to our understanding of an important writer. Author: Cheney, Ednah D. Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 384 Publication Date: 2010/07/01 Language: English Dimensions: 5.50 x 8.50 x 0.85 inches |

The Brothers by Alcott, Louisa May [Hardcover] $34.85 I wondered if it were some deep wrong or sorrow, kept alive by memory and impotent regret; if he mourned for the dead master to whom he had been faithful to the end; or if the liberty now his were robbed of half its sweetness by the knowledge that someone near and dear to him still languished in the hell from which he had escaped. My heart warmed to him at that idea; I wanted to know and comfort him; and, following the impulse of the moment, I went in and touched him on the shoulder.
