This is the Conversation Forum for Typhoid Mary << Tony Labella? Subject: Interesting article Posted Aug 4, 2007 by NPY   Posting 1 I'd never heard of this sort of thing happening before. Poor Mary. Really isn't very fair though that she was so singled out.

I guess they just didn't know what to do with her in the first instance and they learned there lessons from her - it was a different time then and I wouldn't hold it against them now.

But still...I hope she didn't resent the authorities for it.
