Weichel was cared for in the Post hospital. After her recovery she married the hospital steward. Her former husband had been killed by the Indians.

He then fetched a large knife, and began to sharpen it on a long whetstone that he held in his left hand; and all the while he came nearer and nearer to the bed. The Ogre took up one of the children, and was going to set about cutting him to pieces; but his wife said to him, "What in the world makes you take the trouble of killing them to-night?
