She was highly
respected and esteemed by all Brook Farmers and the friends of the
community during her life of faithful service, and her tragic death was
a source of grief deep and sincere to all who knew her worth. After the
community broke up, she went to live in Italy, and there was happily
married to the Count d'Ossoli. Returning to America with her husband and
child, a happy wife and proud mother, the vessel on which they were
passengers was wrecked off Fire Island, and all on board were drowned.
Almost within sight of home, and almost within reach of help from the
shore, Margaret Fuller and her dear ones perished together. There was no
Life Saving Service at that time, and watchers on the beach had no means
of rescuing the voyagers who met death as they were drawing near to the
end of their journey.
When the Brook Farm Association became the Brook Farm Phalanx, the
industries of the place were organized in the serial order. The tilling
of the soil was conducted by the Agricultural Series, with special work
assigned to different groups, as the Farming group, the Orchard group,
the Garden group, etc.
