Is Matilda Joslyn Gage House haunted?
No claims are filed here — the record keeps this place for its documented history, not for a haunting on file.
The record — long form
Gage is the raised — the 'abolitionist home' that's the Cicero childhood, the 'station' that's the both families' houses. The '1854' is the opened — the 'Fayetteville' that's the Erie Canal town, the 'freedom seekers' that's the welcomed again. The 'written out' is the irony — the 'History of Woman Suffrage' that's the co-authored, the 'pushed out' that's the radical for the movement.
The 'Liberty protest' is the '86 — the 'unveiling' that's the hypocrisy named, the 'woman symbol' that's the women denied. The 'Iroquois' is the learned — the 'Haudenosaunee' that's the adopted her, the 'women's power' that's the model seen. Gage is the erased — the 'Oz connection' that's the Baum's mother-in-law, the 'motto grave' that's the 'There is a word sweeter'.
The file keeps Gage: the double station childhood, the Fayetteville door, the suffrage exile, and the erased legacy.
Matilda Joslyn Gage House is the archive's New York file — the radical written out.
Why this file matters
Matilda Joslyn Gage House is the archive's New York file — the suffragist too radical.
A house keeps its exile — the file's suggestion being that Gage's hold is the severed: the 'station door' that's the opened to seekers, the 'Liberty protest' that's the named the hypocrisy, and the 'written out' that's the history's revenge.
