“A very interesting Natural Curiosity, to be seen from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. at the Masonic Hall, Chesnut street. Admittance 25
cents. It sometimes happens ... that ... there is a remarkable diminution in the human form. This inferiority of stature is
... exemplified ... in the case of three women, Hannah, Rebecca, and Abigail Hatch. They are daughters of the same father
and mother, (who were of the ordinary size) and born at Falmouth ... Massachusetts.... their ages [are] between 25 and 40
years – and their height between 36 and 42 inches.”
