George Harmon

George was sent by his father to a brother in Vermont at age 3, to be educated in an American school. He died young, and his father describes receiving the news in his journal:

When I informed her that our beloved son George was dead, she looked at me with a wild stare of agony, and immediately threw herself upon the bed, where she continued, in a state of delirium, during the succeeding night." (Harmon journal p. 201)'

Later in Harmon's journal he writes of the death of "a beloved son" (George) and the subsequent grief they shared as a factor in his decision to give Lisette the choice to remain with him when he returned to urban life.
