Scraps of her life have been determined. In 1806, at 40 years old, she married John Casper Frietsche who was 14 years younger than she. His father had been hung for a loyalist traitor during the Revolution. Her husband died in 1849; they had no children. She did indeed live in a house on the site when the Confederate troops occupied the city in September, 1862. Her health and mobility have been controversial subjects. Was she able to hang out a window and wave a Union flag? She died 3 months later, months before Whittier's poem appeared. The original house washed away in a flood in the early 19th century.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA2CEtRdGVKCdnRzOLAgJ6-6WXwq30dFHiCz1z2OUtGs9WaqNC-ls7Wjsu7TAQBNAWE1DHd3fZ5v8XD0lNg_1YO5glbPTJT5WVF0AEWNUjwA69pqKm4WFiMnNzuT7m2tPpTu-_xmSw8_nl5kZpJaHk88N25uHJivtgcptqzR_ZzUoOnl6nOpo3tgUm76fZ/s792/frederick-maryland-September-1862.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Thompson, 1866</div><br /> Mattie's preface:</div><div><blockquote> "I feel it a duty to improve the mind, and have ever had a thirst for education to fill that vacuum for which the soul has ever yearned since my earliest remembrance. Thus I ask you to buy my little book to aid me in obtaining an education, that I may be enabled to do some good in behalf of the elevation of my emancipated brothers and sisters."</blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihtBcxwy4bnY1SrrVP-gTfhs7raqMQtW8Qg15ppdB6Ff20ylApp8PTYYJzG3aekKpNgIo8ANLnSls6D7Mba-H_zp3hwZbg_DY5L6jTaD49qSpES5fCGVd2lI2ULBGSi6_Rv5R6k3n5xkY1sUBchzlpn0E-Cv1Z5bMp3qYmj-87OzvTMapvepc51tnUTnXj/s579/Harpers%20Wkly%201866.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="510" data-original-width="579" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihtBcxwy4bnY1SrrVP-gTfhs7raqMQtW8Qg15ppdB6Ff20ylApp8PTYYJzG3aekKpNgIo8ANLnSls6D7Mba-H_zp3hwZbg_DY5L6jTaD49qSpES5fCGVd2lI2ULBGSi6_Rv5R6k3n5xkY1sUBchzlpn0E-Cv1Z5bMp3qYmj-87OzvTMapvepc51tnUTnXj/s320/Harpers%20Wkly%201866.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Freedpeople's school in 1866</i></div><p></p><p>A few years later Mattie returned to her former home in St. Louis and her birth mother Ellen. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD1O0qg6QIIJBupLYMEpNGzCrstzz9I-GTxE-h07eRPLperhipUcWbS93zsSXKlaQcVcw173-yTLMhzoIHxMo-u4GQ1RFqTVcIZVDgJT1mYVvBcMdG_IrT8ZTG8hcgOM3ijpRLndHyrLvGJy46Xpy254rpEppY-os3pp3pfFLhy2DbKgVqN9osK2tDSN10/s592/wedding%20in%20vicksburg%20haprers.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="592" data-original-width="583" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD1O0qg6QIIJBupLYMEpNGzCrstzz9I-GTxE-h07eRPLperhipUcWbS93zsSXKlaQcVcw173-yTLMhzoIHxMo-u4GQ1RFqTVcIZVDgJT1mYVvBcMdG_IrT8ZTG8hcgOM3ijpRLndHyrLvGJy46Xpy254rpEppY-os3pp3pfFLhy2DbKgVqN9osK2tDSN10/w394-h400/wedding%20in%20vicksburg%20haprers.jpg" width="394" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">At 27 she married <span style="text-align: left;">Union Army veteran</span> <span style="text-align: left;">William Reed Dyer (1846–1912) with whom she had nine children.
