Early Life and Childhood
Laura Dewey Lynn Bridgman was born on December 21, 1829, in Hanover, New Hampshire, to a poor Baptist farmer named Daniel Bridgman and his wife, Harmony. As an infant, she was a frail and sickly child, but by the age of two, Laura had developed normally without any apparent disabilities.
Tragedy Strikes
Laura's life took a tragic turn at the age of two when she contracted scarlet fever. The disease claimed the lives of her older siblings, Mary and Charles, and brother, Nelson. Laura survived but was left blind, deaf, and partially deprived of her sense of smell and taste.
