Note

Pascal F. Pratt embezzled funds in Anoka, MN, April 1889, some months after his wife and children had left to live with her brother Cyrus in Boston. The reason for the separation was Pratt's affair with a young Anoka widow, Mrs. Jacobson. The Hutchinson family believed he went "back to England." Cindy Cage, a descendant of Ella Miriam Pratt, reported a tradition in her family that Pascal Pratt escaped across Canada to England assisted by his Masonic order, which then disowned him. She also heard it said that Calla (Pratt) Hutchinson remembered him fondly and stayed in touch with her father by mail.
