Hannah Whitman entered a disastrous marriage with an abusive husband. Walt Whitman frequently attended to the problems of Hannah, who was a hypochondriac caught up in a bad marriage. Apparently, the couple often led a near hand-to-mouth existence, changing residences in Burlington frequently or moving to other villages as Heyde continued to paint the same rural scenes. Hannah outlived all her siblings and adored her brother Walt for his self-constructed frame as much as for his brotherly allegiance.
