Small Mercy?

I found a secret when researching my family history, a witch? Some say she is now a ghost, but who really knows? All persons who actually knew this woman are now dead, possibly in the same dimension as she? There are old writings of her existence and what happened to her. I don’t think she was a witch, but experiencing the horrible effects of menopause. The way her actions were reported suggests it. In those days if a woman was not an obedient (barefoot and pregnant) person, she must be mentally ill or a witch. I wish I could travel back in time just to meet her and ask questions, possibly save her life. She was put in a dungeon and waiting to be hanged, and died there. I guess a small mercy is that she was not hanged.
