"Three year old Hattie Pratt was the subject of an Archibald Willard painting named “Blue Girl”. Hattie died of diphtheria in 1862 at 3 years of age. The painting was done from a photo a few years later. There is an obelisk in Huntington Cemetery inscribed with the four Pratt family names: Benjamin - father; Alta - mother; Jerome; Hattie. What is believed to be Hattie's headstone was found under a post of an outbuilding on the Pratt farm in the 1990's and is currently on display at the Huntington Historical Society Museum."
