Hamer is the pair — the 'Henry and Elizabeth' that's the Bruce household, Covington, the 'trusted' that's the house and businesses. The 'August '56' is the flight — the 'Ohio crossing' that's the Cincinnati route, the 'pregnant' that's the Elizabeth waited in Windsor. The 'Charles' is the '57 — the 'born in Canada' that's the six months in, the 'five acres' that's the Royal Oak bought.
The 'letters' is the survived — the 'former enslavers' that's the wrote back, the 'corresponded' that's the after freedom. The 'park' is the named — the 'Hamer Finch Wilkins' that's the descendant surnames, the 'midwife' that's the Elizabeth's trade. Hamer is the monument — the '2024 unveiling' that's the Elizabeth's statue, the 'descendants' that's the still on the land.
The file keeps Hamer: the trusted pair, the pregnant flight, the enslaver letters, and the park name.
Hamer Grave is the archive's Michigan file — the bought five acres.
