  	According to Harriet Bulkley Latimer's autobiography (pp 10-11), her father died at sea when she was 12 years old: "At the early age of twelve, I was deprived of the care and protection of a father, whom I almost idolized. I well remember with what pride I looked upon his manly form... Never shall I forget the morning of that day which brought the sad intelligence, that my mother was a widow,-- that I was fatherless. He died far from home, from friends and sympathy, and his body was committed to ocean's waves to rest amid its waters, 'till the morning of the resurrections... A passing barque that had spoken his ship, was greeted with the intelligence of the death of its captain, but the ship itself was never heard of more. Undoubtedly it foundered at sea, and none survived to tell the story of his death or of their own calamity..."
