Louisa Hack (1873-1945) - Fallen Angel?

Rentia Landman Reid web kleurNic Dinham [Familia 2021 Vol. 58/1]
Nic Dinham describes the life of Louisa Hack, the stepmother of his grandmother Thelma Holland White (born Smith). Thelma deliberately censored her memories of the family – Louisa and the extended family – sharing nothing with daughter or descendents. Perhaps Thelma was overly sensitive about Louisa as stepmother, one who had an exceedingly hard life who ultimately died poor and alone. Not even a single photograph exists so that Nic could put a face to Louisa,
