Deutscher Volksglaube (1877)

Mrs. Helen V. Washington always prayed to God for two sons, a daughter, and the best husband to help raise them. She met John Washington. They married; she gave birth to Gravita. John was killed. Helen lost control of Gravita. Helen’s controlling sister, Barbara Sneakly, steps in on Gravita’s side. Helen, by court’s order, lost Gravita to Barbara. Gravita was accidentally killed. Barbara took her own life. A year later Helen met Willy. She then realized she had married out of God’s will; John was a good man, but he was not a Christian. They married. A year later she gave birth to a girl she named Gravita; again she watched all the attention her husband was giving to his daughter. She feared she would live through another horrible life again. A few months later she was pregnant with twin sons. She knew then that God had always heard her prayers.
