We know that Harriet died. The book tells us that she was found in the river, but we don't know if she drowned or she was killed another way and then her body dumped there. The book hints that her death was not by her own hand. We don't know for sure what happened to the child, but it was almost certainly dead before the mother was.

In the book "The Chrysalids" by John Wyndham, Aunt Harriet and her baby were killed by the government authorities because the baby had a mutation (extra toes). This strict enforcement of genetic purity reflects the society's fear and intolerance of any deviation from the norm.
