In the years that followed, a hellish and capricious contagion beset my brother-in-law. As with almost everything else that touched his life, Benjamin remained secretive and hid it from us until it reached such an advanced stage that concealing it was impossible. Among our close family and personal physicians we tested many theories as to its cause and origin: Some thought it came from the mines and first took hold in Ben’s lungs; some thought Ben had drunk water contaminated by the mine tailings. One theory, which I believe was shared by all though spoken by none, reflected back to his secret practices and the Oath we all took in Hyde Hall. In timid silence, we all feared that he had brought this plague upon himself, and not only that, but that we would soon see it brought upon our own heads because of what we had done.

From the diary of Abigail Homestead, Benjamin Hyde’s sister-in-law, dated March 9, 1915
