The photos are what is commonly known as the Roberts and Tanner Homestead on Main Street in Farmingtin, NH, close to the juncture of Main Street and what is now NH Route 11. They show at least two periods of time and provide a front and side view of the house as well as a rear view of the home.<br /><br />Included with the photos is this account of possible history by Linda Peckham:<br /><br /><p><em>This group of pictures are of the Tanner home at 39 Main Street. This property was purchased by</em><br /><em>William H Tanner in 1851 from Jonathan Roberts according to the registry of deeds .Both of these</em><br /><em>names are on the 1871 town map of Farmington. I'm not sure if the property had buildings on it when</em><br /><em>it was purchased.</em></p>
<p><em>The people in the photo might be William H Tanner (1825-1906) and his wife Martha (Giles) Tanner</em><br /><em>(1844-1918) or it is possible that is John Tanner(l788-I868) William"s father His mother Mary Jane</em><br /><em>(Thompson) Tanner (1789-1859) had probably passed away.</em></p>
<p><em>William & Martha had 4 children: Charles 1865-1890. Once 1866-1950. Lizzy 1870-1936. and George</em><br /><em>Irving 1878-1959.</em></p>
<p><em>George Irving and his wife moved in with his mother Martha after Williams passing, after her passing</em><br /><em>he brought out his sisters to own the property. He and his wife Gertrude (Smart) Tanner lived there until</em><br /><em>their deaths. They had three children Leona (1911-1911), Evelyn (Tanner) Furber (1912-1997) and</em><br /><em>Floyd I. (1914-2011).</em></p>
<p><em>Floyd bought the property from his parents before their deaths. He and his wife Edna (Marcoux) Tanner</em><br /><em>lived on the property until their passing 2011 and 2016 respectively.</em></p>
<p><em>His wife was my Aunt and her sister Jeanette Flanagan as the administrator of her will thought that you might be interested in the picture.</em></p>
<br />Condition:Fair. Some water damage on matte, but did not cause buckling or apparent damge to photographs. Backing enclosure is in poor condition and should be reenforced. <br /><br />Size: Each photograph is approxiamtely 7"x12". matted. The entire matted set is 43" x 11."<br /><br /><br />FHS-Kyle Leach

Photo and a Boston Globe news clipping, with photo, for Judge Errol S. Hall Circa 1936. Photo Size: 8"x10" Clipping Size: 4"x11"<br /><br />Article text reads: <br /><br /><em>SHOE WORKER WHO STUDIED NIGHTS NOW SITS AS JUDGE Family of Four Children Reared by Errol S. Hall While Mastering Law at </em><br /><em>Farmington, N H </em><br /><br /><em>Special Dispatch to the Globe FARMINGTON, N H, Jan 4—Appointment of attorney Errol S. Hall as judge of Municipal Court here proves again that midnight oil and ambition is a powerful combination. The new judge was recommended for the post, to succeed Judge Albert H. Wiggin—retired because of the age limit of 70—by Gov H. Styles Bridges early in November. His appointment was confirmed at the Nov 19 meeting and went into effect Nov 30. </em><br /><br /><em>Today Judge Hall recalled his experience as a worker on a farm and in shoe factories before he passed the bar examinations. He was born in this town, a son of John S. and Frances (Davidson) Hall, and attended grammar and High School here. Later he spent a year in a Boston business school. </em><br /><br /><em>From 1909 to 1923 he spent his time working, carrying on law study in his spare time. In 1923, despite the fact he was supporting a family of five by "pulling leather" all day long in the Paul J. Richards Shoe Company factory here, he dug into an intensive law study course with a correspondence school. </em><br /><br /><em>For nine months a year, five days a week, he burned his mid-night oil, with four or five hours of study every night. As a result he was ready to take the New Hampshire bar examinations just two years later. However, because of the Granite State law requiring three years of study before taking the examination, he spent a third year carrying on a complete review of the course. </em><br /><br /><em>Then, in 1926, he left home one day without saying a word to any one, went to Concord and took the examination, in company with 27 others, most of them college and law school graduates. He came home and kept mum about it until the names of the seven successful candidates were published </em><br /><br /><em>He has been practicing law ever since, before state, as well as Federal courts, in this state. ' In 1930 he was elected Strafford County solicitor, but was defeated for reelection the next year. The only other office he has held is that of Select¬man of Farmington.</em><br /><br /><em>He makes his home here on East Grove st with Mrs Hall and the four children, Charles, Marjorie, Jeanette and Shirley.</em> <br /><br />FHS-RKL

�PREFACE.
THIS volume was designed, in its inception, as a companion vol
ume to " New Hampshire Men," published two years since.
Its production has been effected under difficulties interfering greatly
with its completeness, chief among which is the very general and often
unconquerable aversion of woman to assent to anything which can in
anyway be interpreted as the manifestation of a desire for publicity on
her part. This aversion has not only greatly delayed the preparation
of this volume but has absolutely prevented the presentation of many
subjects that should have been among the most conspicuous in its
list.
Nevertheless, incomplete as it may be, the book presents a goodly
number of portraits and sketches of representative New Hampshire
women, at home and abroad, some of whom are the most eminent
daughters of the state, while all are worthy representatives of New
Hampshire womanhood in its best estate, whether in literature, music,
art, education, in professional, business, public, social and domestic
life, or as laborers in the broad fields of charity and benevolence.
The compilation and preparation of the volume has been in charge
of Henry H. Metcalf of Concord, who acknowledges his obligations
for material assistance to Miss Marion H. Brazier of Boston, Mrs.
Adelaide Cilley Waldron of Farmington, Miss Frances M. Abbott of
Concord, Mrs. Emma H. Cass of Bristol, Mrs. Urania E. Bowers of
Nashua and many others, who have taken a deep interest in the suc
cess of the work.

��FEW names are better known in connection with reform and phil

Nathaniel White, of Concord. Born in Mendon, Mass., November 1,
1 8 1 7 . of Quaker parentage, her father. John Aldrich, being of the fifth
generation from Moses Aldrich, the English Quaker preacher, who
settled in Rhode Island in the seventeenth century, while her maternal
ancestry is traced directly to Edward Doten, a Pilgrim of the Mayflower,
she removed with her parents to Boscawen, in 1830, and at the age of
nineteen married Nathaniel White, a young stageman, who through
industry, sobriety, and business sagacity, aided always by his chosen
life-companion, won success and fortune, and made the same a blessing
and a benediction to needy and oppressed humanity. Like her hus
band, she was an ardent friend of the anti-slavery cause, and their hos
pitable home welcomed the fugitive slave as freely as the most notable
personage in the land. The temperance and woman suffrage causes
she espoused with enthusiasm, and has ever labored zealously for their
success. She has long been the friend and co-worker of such women
as Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, Mary A. Livermore, and Frances E.
Willard. The charitable and benevolent institutions of the state have
ever been the objects of her fostering care. Mrs. White was the first
president of the New Hampshire W. C. T. U., has been president of
the New Hampshire Woman Suffrage association since its organization,
and largely through her efforts was secured the legislation enabling
New Hampshire women to vote and hold office in connection with
school affairs. She is a member of the board of trustees of the New
Hampshire Centennial Home for the Aged, of the Orphans' Home,
Franklin, and the Mercy Home, Manchester, was active in their estab
lishment, and has been a liberal supporter of each. The Universalist
church in Concord and at iarge, and manifold charities, local and gen
eral, have ever commanded her earnest sympathy and generous aid.

MRS. ISAAC SPALDING.
ON the eighth day of December, 1893, in the city of Nashua, a
woman whose name had been a household word in that city for
nearly half a century, departed this life, at the great age of ninetyseven years. Lucy Kendall, daughter of Nathan Kendall of Amherst,
was born in that town, December 13, 1796. She married Isaac
Spalding, of Nashua, May 1, 1828, and was the affectionate helpmeet
of that worthy and honored citizen until his decease, May 14, 1876.
Two sons, born in the early years of their married life, died in child
hood, and, thus left without children, and favored with ample means
for ministering to the comfort and welfare of others, they necessarily
looked beyond the confines of home for the objects of their considera
tion and regard. Mr. Spalding was an enterprising business man and
a public spirited citizen, and was closely identified with the growth
and progress of Nashua, from a struggling village to the second city
in the state, and in all his work and purposes his wife was an earnest
sympathizer. Though personally of a retiring disposition, modest
and unassuming, Mrs. Spalding, through all her long life, was an
active promoter of every deserving charitable cause and benevolent
work to which her attention was called in the community, and her
generous contributions of money for various worthy objects, as well
as her devoted personal service, will be remembered to her credit for
long years to come. She was actively identified with the First Con
gregational church of Nashua, and deeply interested in all lines of its
work. During the year 1892 her gift of twenty-three thousand dollars
for the purchase of a site made it possible for the society to erect the
new and commodious house of worship, one of the finest in the state,
which it now occupies. Among her other prominent benefactions
were ten thousand dollars to the New Hampshire Orphans' Home,
of which institution she was ever an earnest friend, and ten thousand
dollars to Dartmouth college.
��MRS. ONSLOW STEARNS.
A conspicuous figure in the social life of New Hampshire's capital
city, the true and worthy helpmeet of one eminent alike in busi
ness and public life, thecenter of a delightful family circle, whose guests,
often among the most distinguished, never forgot its charming influence,
no woman in the state has been more favorably known during the past
thirty years than Mrs. Onslow Stearns. Mary A. Holbrook, daughter
of Aden and Polly Holbrook, was born in Athol, Mass., February 10.
1819. She was educated in Mrs. Burrill's school at South Boston and
united in marriage with Mr. Stearns June 27, 1845. They removed to
Concord in 1847, where they ever after had their home. Mr. Stearns
became a dominant spirit in the railroad operations of the state, and a
strong factor in its political life, receiving the highest honor in the gift
of the people, having been encouraged in his career by the sympathy
and devotion of a wife ambitious for his success and proud of his
achievements, and by her womanly tact and grace of manner contrib
uting to the same in large degree. Mrs. Stearns not only met all the
requirements of domestic life, the demands of an enlarged hospitahty,
and the responsibilities of social leadership, but gave time and effort in
abundant measure to the cause of benevolence. During the War of
the Rebellion she was active in every work for the aid and encourage
ment of the Union soldiers. She was vice-president of the Home for
the Aged in Concord, from its organization until her death, July 27,
1895 ; was a director of the Margaret Pillsbury General Hospital, of the
Concord Female Benevolent Association, and an earnest worker in the
interests of the Unitarian church and society, with which she was asso
ciated. Above all and embracing all, it may be said, she was a true
woman in the fullest sense of the term. Mrs. Stearns left a son,
Charles O. Stearns of Boston, and four daughters, Mary, wife of Gen.
John R. Brooke, U. S. A.; Margaret, wife of S. W. Ingails of New
York; Sarah, and Grace, wife of Col R. H. Rolfe of Concord.
��LOUISA FRANCES RICHARDS, daughter of Dr. Mason and
Apphia (Andrews) Hatch, was born in Hillsborough, April 10,
1827, and married Hon. Dexter Richards of Newport, January 27,
1847. Her father had a successful professional career of more than
forty years in Newport, where he was a valuable citizen, prominent in
town affairs. There was a vein of original humor about him, delight
ful to all, which was largely inherited by his daughter, Mrs. Richards,
whose pleasant face and genial presence are welcomed in every circle.
She has been the mother of six children, but three of whom survive,—
Col. Seth Mason Richards, a leading business man of Newport, well
known throughout the state, Josephine, wife of Prof. M. C. Gile of
Colorado Springs college, and William Francis, also a Newport busi
ness man. There are also seven grandchildren in whom Mrs. Richards's youthful spirit finds never-failing joy. Those who know Mrs.
Richards best are acquainted with her many private benevolences,
as she is always ready to help those who are in need, or to put them
in a position to help themselves. She is a trustee of the Mercy Home
at Manchester, and trustee and vice-president of the Woman's Hos
pital Aid Association, in Concord. She was one of ten ladies to
give $ 1 ,000 each to erect a building for the infant department at the
Orphans' Home, Franklin. She belongs to the Manchester chapter of
the Daughters of the Revolution, her maternal grandfather, Maj.
Isaac Andrews, having fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill. In church
and society Mrs. Richards is an acknowledged power, while her
delightful hospitality is a thing long to be remembered by those who
have enjoyed it. Emerson says. — ' There is no beautifier of com
plexion, or form of behavior like the wish to scatter joy, and not pain,
around us." In the use of this cosmetic she is accomplished, as all
can testify who have felt the sweet influences of her kindness.
MRS. DEXTER RICHARDS.

��MARGARET SPRAGUE PILLSBURY.
MARGARET SPRAGUE, daughter and fifth child of Henry
and Holly (Greeley) Carleton, was born in Bucksport, Me.,
September 20, 1817, but removed, with her parents, in 1823, to their
former home in' Sutton, N. H., where she was educated in the public
schools. May 10, 1841, she married George A. Pillsbury of Sutton,
removing with him to Warner, where he was in trade ten years.
They removed to Concord in 185 I, and in 1878 to their present home,
Minneapolis, Minn., where their son, Charles A., is the head of the
greatest flour manufacturing firm in the world. Fred C., another
son, died there in 1892. An infant daughter died in Warner. Min
nie Chamberlin, a relative of Mrs. Pillsbury, left an orphan in early
childhood, was taken into their family, and has ever held the place
of a daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Pillsbury celebrated the golden anni
versary of their happy union in 1891, making it a golden year for
others, also, by giving to Sutton a soldiers' monument, to Warner
a public library, and uniting in the gift to the Hospital Association
at Concord of a spacious and costly edifice, appropriately named
"The Margaret Pillsbury General Hospital." Through all her life,
wherever she has been, Mis. Pillsbury has been felt and recognized
as a power for good, and the bestowal of her name upon such an institu
tion marks no new development in her character. It simply makes her
known publicly for what she has always been, a philanthropist—to gain
and merit which distinction is the highest earthly honor. This admi
rable Christian woman possesses a happy combination of qualities
which her full and rounded life has afforded abundant opportunity to
exercise, at home and abroad. Keenly perceptive, considerate, and,
though pitiful, strictly conscientious, she is seldom wrong in estimating
character or motive. She is a faithful friend, a judicious adviser to her
husband in their mutual business affairs, a wise mother, a kind and
capable ruler in her own household.
��THE giver of all good, very wisely and justly, bestows upon some
of his children especial powers and gifts, that the world shall be
made better, and the arts developed for the improvement and entertain
ment of mankind. Such a child was born in New Hampton, N. H.,
in 1842, daughter of Dr. John A. and Sarah J. Dana. From earliest
childhood it was evident her life would be devoted to music, her pref
erence being the piano. Her father and mother were both musical,
the latter being her first instructor. When eleven years old she went
to Boston for instruction from eminent teachers. At the age of fifteen
Martha Dana made her debut as a soloist. From that time until now
her life has been one of unbroken triumph, appearing at more festivals
and concerts throughout the Union than any other living pianist. Her
ambition and efforts were always of the highest character, having early
in life mastered the oratorio scores of the great composers. In 1864
she was married to Allan B. Shepard of Holderness, now Ashland,
residing there until 1881, when they removed to Boston. Two sons
were born by this happy union —Frank Edward and John Dana, in
whom a mother's fondest hopes are realized. Martha Dana Shepard
was New Hampshire's first great pianist. She has done more to
improve the art than ail others. She is a noble woman, whose name is
held in respect throughout the Union, an honor to her native state,
and a blessing to the legion who call her " friend." Her name and
career, when fully written, will be referred to by coming generations as
one of the bright stars, shedding its light to the glory and for the
example of others, in the musical firmament of the old Granite state.

��EDNA DEAN PROCTOR, eminent among American poets, is a
native of Henniker. Her name is known throughout the land,
the result of her pen alone, for she avoids publicity, preferring to be
known by her works. The Proctor family removed from Manchester,
Mass., to that picturesque town near the close of the last century, and
settled upon a high hill overlooking " Contoocook's bright and brim
ming river." Here was the birthplace of this gifted daughter, whose
mother, Lucinda Gould, was a descendant of the Hiltons and Prescotts
of Portsmouth and Hampton. Early in life she developed marked
poetic talent, and when the Civil War came, arousing her patriotism to
a white heat, her national poems, such as " The Stars and Stripes,"
"Compromise," "Who's Ready?" and others, stirred the hearts of
the boys who wore the blue to deeds of valor in the great struggle for
country and freedom. She has enjoyed the friendship of Whittier,
Longfellow, and other famous poets. Of her poem "New Hamp
shire" Whittier said it was one of the noblest produced in this coun
try. Longfellow showed his appreciation of her descriptive poems by
including them in his "Poems of Places," and greatly praised her
" Russian Journey," which won high commendation in two conti
nents. Two of her later poems, "Columbia's Banner," and "Colum
bia's Emblem," are exceedingly popular. The latter is a ringing, spirited
appeal for maize as our national floral emblem, and has received the en
dorsement of multitudes throughout the country. Her "Song of the
Ancient People " is universally conceded to be the grandest poem ever
written of the aboriginal Americans. The late Mary Hemenway was
so inspired with its depth, pathos, and historical significance that she
gave $2,500 to have it illustrated. Miss Proctor resides in Framingham, Mass., but spends much time in Boston and Washington in win
ter. She has traveled widely, and never fails to visit her native town
and state when opportunity offers.

��EUNICE ELISABETH PRESTON, daughter of Worcester and
Nancy (Evans) Preston, is a native of Concord. Her grand
father, John Preston, a brother of Capt. William, and Benjamin Pres
ton, Revolutionary soldiers, of Rumney, married Eunice Carpenter of
Coventry, Conn., of direct Revolutionary descent. In November, 1864,

the Declaration of Independence. Mr. and Mrs. Smith have one child,
Charles Busiel Smith. Although naturally of domestic habits, Mrs.
Busiel has entertained freely, and since her husband's election to the
gubernatorial office has worthily filled the position of " first lady" of
the state. Modest and unassuming in manner, bright and cheery, with
a pleasant word for all, she has a happy way of making friends, and
enjoys a wide acquaintance. She is active in benevolent and charitable
work and a member of the society of the North Congregational church.

�KATE SANBORN.
TF it be true that '-a merry heart doeth good like a medicine, " the
X Granite state is to be credited with much tonic, distributed through
out the land in the writings of cheerful, helpful, practical Kate San
born, which are alive with her sparkling individuality. Miss Sanborn
is a descendant of the Revolutionary hero, Capt. Ebenezer Webster,
who aided strongly in the adoption of the constitution, and claims
Daniel Webster as her great uncle, her mother, Mary Ann Webster,
being the favorite niece of the great statesman. Her father was the
late honored Prof. Edwin David Sanborn, of Dartmouth College, and
Edwin W. Sanborn of New York city, well known in legal and literary
circles, is her brother. She has also a sister, Mrs. Paul Babcock of
New York. Kate Sanborn's home was her school-room. At the age
of nineteen she was a teacher in the Mary institute, connected with
Washington university, at St. Louis, Mo. Later, she taught a day
school in Hanover. Subsequently she was for two years teacher of
elocution in Packer institute, Brooklyn, N. Y., and for a year in the
home of the late Mrs. Anna Lynch Botta, where she met many of the
most distinguished personages of the day. After this she filled the
chair of professor of literature at Smith College for a term of five years.
During all this time she issued books and calendars, delivered lectures,
and arranged classes in literature, besides writing for leading papers in
large cities. Kate Sanborn is a teacher, reviewer, compiler, essayist,
lecturer, author, housekeeper, and farmer. She resides at Metcalf.
Mass., surrounded by the dumb creatures she loves so well. She is
thoroughly domestic in her tastes, and a visit to her adopted farm is a
treat, indeed. Among her best books may be mentioned, "Wit of
Women, " "Adopting an Abandoned Farm," "Round Table Scries of
Literature," "A Truthful Woman in Southern California," "Abandon
ing an Adopted Farm," and her " Hen Book by a Hen Woman."
��MARTHA J. FLANDERS, one of the pioneer woman physicians,
was born in Concord, Jan. 15, 1823, the daughter of David and
Martha (Straw) Flanders. At the age of three she attended a district
school in Hopkinton, and afterwards was a pupil at Miss Susan Ela's
noted school in Concord. Later she was graduated from the New
Hampton Seminary. After teaching some years in the West and
South she began the study of medicine with the late Dr. Alpheus Mor
rill of Concord, one of the first physicians to perceive that " woman
needed the profession and the profession needed woman." She
gained her diploma at the New England Female College, now merged
in the Boston University School of Medicine. She practised in Con
cord in connection with Dr. Morrill from 1861 to 1863, and both
women and men of her native state gave her kindly encouragement and
support. She was the first woman physician in Concord. She finally
located in Lynn, Mass., where she has ever since resided. No people
could have been more kind and loyal than have been her patrons in
that Quaker city of radical reformers. She has had the pleasure of
seeing the barriers against women thrown down by medical societies,
being herself a member of county, state, and national societies, also
for several years lecturer in a co-educational medical school.

��ADA L. HOWARD.
MISS ADA L. HOWARD, the beautiful woman whose skilful
hand guided Wellesley College the first seven and most diffi
cult years of its existence, is the daughter of William Hawkins How
ard and Lydia Adaline (Cowden) Howard, and was born in Temple,
December 19, 1829. Three of her great-grandfathers were officers in
the War of the Revolution, and one of these was an officer in the siege
of Louisburg. Her father was a fine scholar, an able teacher, and a
scientific agriculturist. From him she inherited marked characteristics,
and also from her mother—a gentlewoman whose sweetness, strength,
and high womanhood illuminated and unified the home. Miss How
ard received her education from her father, in private schools, New
Ipswich Academy. Lowell High School, Mount Holyoke College, where
she was graduated. Post-graduate study followed under private teachers.
She was, for several years, teacher at Mount Holyoke, the Western,
Oxford, O., and the accomplished and beloved principal of the
Woman's Department, Knox College. Illinois, and of Ivy Hall, her pri
vate school at Bridgeton, N. J., whence she was called to the presidency
of Wellesley College, founded by Mr. and Mrs. Durant. She was the
first woman president of a college in the world. Mr. Durant said, " 1
have been four years looking for a president. She will be a target to
be shot at, and for the present the position will be one of severe trials.
I have for sometime been closely investigating Miss Howard. I look
upon her as appointed to this work not by the trustees, but by God for
whom the college was built." Miss Howard wisely furthered the plans
of the founders, and held the position with great success till health
failed in 1882. She retains her love and enthusiasm for the college,
and every good work. In appreciation of her life at Wellesley, in
1890 the alumnae placed in the art gallery a life-size portrait of their
first president. In her honor a scholarship has been given for Wellesley College, called the Ada L. Howard scholarship.
��MRS. HOWARD L. PORTER.
ALICE ROSALIE (HAMMOND) PORTER was born in Con
necticut. Her ancestors, both on the paternal and maternal
side, were prominent in Revolutionary and colonial days. She was
graduated from Mount Holyoke in 1880. Later she studied at Dr. Sauveur's School of Languages at Amherst college and at the N. E. Con
servatory of Music in Boston. She went abroad in 1881. For three
years she was the efficient and devoted associate principal of Northfield Seminary, the school founded by D. L. Moody. The "Hand
book of Northfield Seminary" says,— "To her example, love, and be
lieving prayers, many a pupil owes the most valuable experience of her
life." Since her marriage to Gen. H. L. Porter she has continued her
Bible classes at Lynn, Mass., and Concord, N. H. For ten years
she taught in Concord probably the largest Bible class for women in the
state. Mrs. Porter has been president of the Concord Seaman's Friend
society, the Union Missionary society, the Foreign Missionary and
Charitable societies of the First Baptist church, and is connected with
almost every local philanthropic work. She has served on important
committees for the state Soldiers" Home at Tilton and the N. H. Or
phans' Home. She was the first president of the N. H. Mt. Hol
yoke Alumnae Association, and is a vice president of the Students' Aid
society of Wellesley College. The beautiful home of General and Mrs.
Porter at Concord is noted for its refined hospitality, and there is
scarcely a religious, benevolent, or educational cause in the state that
has not felt their generous support. Mrs. Porter is a most persuasive
speaker, and an excellent presiding officer. She is also gifted with the
pen, as various periodicals attest. She belongs to the Warwick Shakes
peare club, N. H. Historical society, and Concord Woman's club. As
a mother, she has been deeply interested in the public schools, from
which the two eldest of her four children, William and Carrie, have
graduated and are now members of Harvard '98 and Wellesley '99.
��MRS. MARY CLEMENT LEAVITT, honorary life president of
the World's Women's Christian Temperance Union, daughter
of Rev. Joshua and Eliza (Harvey) Clement, was born in Hopkinton,
September 22, 1830. She studied at the Thetford, Vt., Academy,
and prepared for teaching at the Framingham, Mass., Normal School,
graduating, class valedictorian, in 1851. She taught in Boston be
fore and after her marriage, and was a frequent contributor to the
leading papers of the day. Always actively interested in missions
and reforms, she helped to organize both the Massachusetts and Bos
ton W. C. T. Unions, working and speaking zealously for the latter
while still in the schoolroom. The demands for her services upon the
platform became so numerous that she closed her school and devoted
herself to lecturing. At the call of the National W. C. T. U., she gave
up the brilliant openings before her, and started out alone to encoun
ter the privations and dangers of a pioneer journey around the world
to organize W. C. T. Unions. This she accomplished with heroic
courage and persistence, visiting nearly every country on the globe,
speaking, through interpreters, in forty-seven languages, winning the
confidence and support of the best people, and often of royalty itself.
She organized men's temperance societies, and introduced the White
Cross movement into many lands. Without remuneration she under
took the work, raising nearly all of the seven thousand dollars ex
pended on this remarkable journey. Her " Round the-World " series
of letters was for eight years a most interesting feature of the Union
Signal. Mrs. Leavitt combines a high spiritual nature and good prac
tical ability with a strong, clear intellect, and is a logical, effective
speaker. At sixty-five, with unabated powers, enabling her to give one
hundred lectures in ten consecutive weeks during her 1894 California
tour, and promising great future usefulness, she is still ardently work
ing for God and humanity.

��MARY A. DANFORTH.
NO list of noted New Hampshire women would be complete with
out the name of Mary A. Danforth born beyond the White Hills,
in the town of Colebrook, in 1867. Nature was generous in the be
stowal of " good gifts " upon her. She had, and still has, a strong
body and a healthy, hopeful mind, with apparently unlimited powers
of extension and enlargement. Her education in the higher schools
began in the academy of her native town, where she passed through
the tangled labyrinths of the sciences and classics with ease and accu
racy, where many faltered and fell. She afterward took a course in
the New Hampshire Seminary and Female College, from which she
graduated in 1884. Nobody who heard her graduating essay—
"What Next?"— will ever forget the essay or the writer. It was
thoughtful and broad, intellectual and polished, and many then pre
dicted for her the splendid career, something of which has since been
realized. After graduation she spent four years at home in study
and hard work, occasionally appearing before delighted audiences as
lecturer and preacher. Some of her papers before ministerial conven
tions are still thankfully remembered by all who were inspired and
helped by her practical interpretation of every-day gospel. In the
autumn of 1888 she sailed for Japan. Here, under hardships and
difficulties, she founded the Ladies' Seminary in Nagoya, and was its
successful president for five years. In the terrible earthquakes that
during her stay partially destroyed the city, her experiences were haz
ardous and thrilling. Miraculously escaping from instant death when
her boarding house was demolished, through the perilous days and
weeks that followed, the hand of God led her, saving her life for her
friends and the world. Since returning to her native land she has
lectured with much success in New England and the West. And still
God "takes thought" of her life, guides her steps, and makes the
world brighter and better for her words and her works.
��TV /TARIAN DOUGLAS (Mrs. Annie D. Robinson) is peculiarly
J-VX a child of New Hampshire, as not only all her life has been
spent within sound of the Pemigewasset, but she is indebted to the
state for her parents, her father, William, and her mother, Harriet
(Kimball) Green, having been natives of Concord, with the history of
which town her earlier ancestors were identified. She was born in
Plymouth, but since her early childhood has resided in Bristol. As
with many other writers of verse, her first published poem appeared
when she was fifteen, and from then till now her poems, irregularly
published and widely scattered, have filled a place of their own in cur
rent literature, being possessed of a certain individual quality, which
the New York Evening Post once characterised as "delicious in its
artistic simplicity.''

1 88 1, when she accompanied her husband abroad, still contributing to
several newspapers.
In 1887 she accepted her present position in
Hillsdale College. She was one of the committee of three for organ
izing the F. B. Woman's Missionary Society in 1873, in which Society

World's Congress of Representative Women in connection with the
Columbian Exposition in 1893. She is also a trustee of Storer College,
West Virginia, and a member of the Woman's Commission of Hills

��AUGUSTA (HARVEY) WORTHEN.
MRS. AUGUSTA (HARVEY) WORTHEN, of Lynn, Mass.,
is a representative of one of the most noted New Hampshire
families. She was born in Sutton, September 27, 1823 ; daughter of Col.
John and Sally (Greeley) Harvey. Her father was a younger brother
of Hon. Jonathan Harvey, and Hon. Matthew Harvey, both of whom
served the public in Congress, and the latter as governor of the state,
and for thirty-five years was United States judge for the District of
New Hampshire. In the family of this uncle Mrs. Worthen spent sev
eral years of her later chiidhood, enjoying the advantage of tuition in
Hopkinton Academy. Later she became a student in Andover Acad
emy, and a catalogue of that institution for 185 1 shows her name
among the teachers. February 15, 1855, she married, in Danvers,
Mass., Charles F. Worthen of Candia, N. H., and in 1858 removed
with him to Lynn, where Mr. Worthen was for several years engaged
in shoe manufacturing, and where he died February 15, 1882. Lynn
is still Mrs. Worthen's home, where she is engaged, more or less, in
literary work. She is sister to the late Matthew Harvey, of Newport,
who, for a long term of years, was, in connection with his partner,
Henry G. Carlton, co-editor of the New Hampshire Argus and Spec
tator. It was mainly through the aid of this partial brother that her
literary efforts were first brought before the public. She is repre
sented by poems of especial merit in "New Hampshire Poets," in
.' Poets of America," " Poets of Essex County," and several later col
lections, and also by a portrait and biography in "A Woman of the
Century." But the great labor of her life has been the preparation of
a history of her native town of Sutton, a work of over eleven hundred
pages, published in i89o-'9i, on which she had been engaged, more or
less diligently, for twenty years. It is the first town history in the
state prepared by a woman, and has been much and worthily com
mended for thoroughness and literary finish.

T\ If ARY NOYES FARR is a woman of rare attainments and culXVJ. ture, and inherited great executive ability from her father,
Rufus H. Noyes, who for many years was a prominent merchant of
Landaff, her native town. She is one of the best products of that
hardy New England stock, which has done so much for the progress of
our country. Her great common sense and Scotch tenacity of purpose,
inherited from her mother, Patience Gordon Noyes, make her success
assured in all she undertakes. She was graduated from Miss Philena
McKeen's school, Andover, Mass., in 1874, and filled prominent posi
tions as an educator in New Hampshire, Iowa, and Washington, D. C,
.through the influence of the late Hon. James W. Patterson, a life-long
friend of the family. In 1882 she married Col. Edward Payson Fari
of St. Johnsbury, Vt., and went with her husband and brother, Frank
Pierce Noyes, to make a home in Dakota, where they have accumu
lated many fertile acres in the state of their adoption. Their home is
now in Pierre, the capital city of South Dakota, where Colonel Farrisa
successful banker. Mrs. Farr has identified herself with the educa
tional interests of the state, and for several years has had charge of
the art department of the Pierre University. She is at present princi
pal of the Lincoln schools in that city, and chairman of the National
Floral Emblem Society for her state. The World"s Fair commission
of South Dakota was much indebted to Mrs. Farr for her superior
installation of their educational exhibit at the World's Fair, and her
efficient work as juror of awards in the Liberal Arts Department.
Young, vigorous, and enthusiastic, achieving a distinction second to
none, she made the commission proud of the endorsement of her
claims to recognition, and won an enviable position in a new state of
progressive ideas and brains. New Hampshire also takes due pride in
her achievements, since it was among her hills and her people that the
elements of this woman's character originated and were developed.
��TO attain high position in Boston musical society, where the taste
is pure and classical, is no easy task ; yet this gifted daughter of
New Hampshire has long held it, on account of rare vocal powers, a
pleasing personality, and generous heart. Born in Lyme, she removed
with her parents, Thomas and Aurilla Bond, both musicians, to the
city of Nashua, at the age of fourteen, where she commenced her
musical career, though as a child she had sung in the choir with her
mother, who was a leader. At fifteen she was leading soprano in a
large Nashua church. She here attracted the attention of C. B. Hill,
a man of rare discernment and philanthropic spirit, who provided for
her musical education, and secured her a position as choir leader in a
prominent church in Lowell, at a high salary for those days. At eigh
teen her cherished ambition to sing in Boston was gratified, on the
occasion of a great festival under the direction of B. F. Baker, where
she made a happy " hit " Here she began study with the renowned
Signor Corelli. She was three years soprano at Dr. Miner's School
Street church, and fourteen years leader in Trinity choir, singing also
continuously in concert and oratorio. She has appeared with the most
noted singers of the day; for six successive seasons sang "The Mes
siah '' for the Handel and Haydn society : made her farewell appearance
as a public singer in that capacity, and has since devoted her talents to
teaching, with eminent success, many of her pupils having already
entered upon brilliant careers. At the age of twenty she married J. H.
Long, a rising business man of Boston, now deceased, a popular offi
cer of the Handel and Haydn society, and an excellent musical critic.
She is a true and loyal woman, as is evidenced by her loving care of
her aged mother and the younger members of her family. Mrs. Bond,
at eighty-nine, is living at her daughter's residence on Holyoke street,
summering at the old colonial home in Lyme, which Mrs. Long has
modernized and beautified for herself and dear ones.

��MRS. HANNAH A. CURRIER was the youngest daughter of
Enoch Slade, Esq., a distinguished citizen of Thetford, Vt.,
and sister of Gen. Samuel W. Slade, an eminent lawyer of St. Johnsbury, in the same state. She received her early education in Thetford
Academy, at that time one of the most famous institutions in New
England. Here many of the sons and daughters of New Hampshire
and Vermont resorted to prepare for college, or to obtain a higher
degree of cultivation in English studies than could be obtained else
where. In this celebrated school Miss Slade early found herself rank
ing among the foremost, not only in the ordinary studies, but also in
the higher branches of Greek, Latin, and mathematics, which she pur
sued far into the college course. After leaving the academy, with the
highest reputation for scholarship. Miss Slade went to Boston, where
under distinguished teachers she continued her studies in music, French,
and other branches of polite literature, thus adding a metropolitan finish
not easily acquired in rural institutions. In 1869 Miss Slade was married
to Hon. Moody Currier, a distinguished banker in Manchester, N. H..
who afterwards, in 1885 and 1886, was governor of the state. The
accomplishments of Mrs. Currier added greatly to the dignity and
popularity of his administration. Since her marriage, in connection
with her husband she has continued her literary and scientific pursuits,
keeping up with the progress of the age, adopting in their broadest
and most liberal sense the best thoughts of modern research.
Although she has never given to the public any of her literary produc
tions, her education and critical tastes would warrant success in such
an undertaking. She does not seek distinction by a display to the
world of her charities and benefactions, which are many, and known
only to those who receive them. She believes that the proper sphere
of woman is her home, which she renders happy and adorns, by devot
ing to it the best energies of her life.

upon the work of imparting instruction to others, and was engaged as
a teacher for more than twenty years, with marked success—six years
in New Hampshire, in the Concord High School and in the Pinkerton Academy at Derry ; thirteen years in Ohio, at the Ohio Female
College, six miles from Cincinnati ; and the last three years at Bennet
Seminary, in Minneapolis, Minn. In 1874, she was united in marriage
with the late Rev. C. W. Wallace, O. D., pastor of the First or Han
over Street Congregational church of Manchester, where she still re
sides in the house which her husband built in 1845. Mrs. Wallace
always sympathized with her father and her husband in their strong
anti-slavery principles, as well as in their earnest temperance views.
She has been an active member of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union since its organization. By the payment of $100 she has had her
late husband's name inscribed on a marble tablet in Willard Hall, in
the famous Temperance Temple in Chicago,—a memorial to his lifelong
devotion to the temperance cause. She was for many years Home and
Corresponding Secretary of the N. H. Branch of the Woman's Board
of Missions. She is a devoted member of the First Congregational
church of Manchester, and is doing what she can for the suppression
of evil and the advancement of Christ's kingdom in the world.

��MRS. SARAH E. FARLEY RUNNELLS.
THE Farleys and Hardys of Hollis were among the noted families
in the early history of the town. Sarah E. Farley, daughter of
Enoch and Abby (Hardy) Farley, born in Hollis, June 9, 1834, comes
of an ancestry of which any American woman may well be proud.
Her two great-grandfathers, Lieut. Benjamin Farley and Phineas
Hardy, were among the first soldiers of the Revolution, and fought at
Lexington and Bunker Hill. In the latter contest, also, two great
uncles on the maternal side, Joseph and Nathaniel Wheat, were killed.
Miss Farley was educated in the Hollis schools and at the Milford semi
nary, then under charge of Gilbert Wadleigh. She taught success
fully in the village school at Hollis, and at Dunstable, Mass., for five
years, and on September 9, 1858, was married to Daniel F. Runnells.
a successful merchant of Nashua, where she has since resided, and has
been active and prominent in society, church, and organized charitable
and benevolent work. She is an interested member of the W. C.
T. U., and of the ladies' organizations connected with the Pilgrim
church, but her efforts have been more especially directed to the work
of the Nashua Protestant Home for Aged Women and the Woman's
Relief Corps. She was a member of the board of managers of the
former institution for ten years, and for several years past has been
president of the same, and has contributed largely to its success. She
has been president of the local Woman's Relief Corps, and was
department president of the order for New Hampshire in 1 891 , one
of the most prosperous years in its history. She was a member of the
National Council, W. R. C., in 1892-'93, and has been urged to allow
the use of her name as a candidate for national president. She has
been identified with various other public and private charities, and has
kept abreast with the times in all matters of social, literary, and edu
cational interest. She has two daughters, Florence and Katherine,
educated at Wellesley, and one son, Frederick D., a graduate of Dart
mouth, class of 1893.
��MRS. RUTH LAMPREY CADLE.
THE record of a very busy and useful life is recorded in that of
Ruth Lamprey Cadle, who was born in the town of Orford,
N. H., January 16, 1820. Her parents, Samuel Lamprey and Anna
Johnson, were among the early settlers who moved from Hampton to
Orford in 181 1. After finishing her educational course at Canaan
academy, then under the principalship of the late Chief Justice Sar
gent, and being ambitious for some new field, in response to a call for
a teacher, she moved to the then far western town of Muscatine, Iowa,
in 1847. After teaching acceptably two years she married in 1849
Cornelius Cadle, and of this union were born one son, Henry, now of
Bethany, Mo., and one daughter, Abbie A., the wife of Col. Frank W.
Mahin, of Clinton, Ohio. At the time of her marriage Mr. Cadle had
four sons, who still survive. Col. Cornelius, Edward F., Capt. Will
iam L., and Charles F., all of whom served their country in the late
war. The cholera epidemic that raged through the Mississippi valley
in 1852 witnessed her ministrations, and families are still living who
remember her with gratitude. But the great event which developed
her ability to manage and control large movements was the late War of
the Rebellion, during the whole period of which she served as president
of the Muscatine County Soldiers' Aid Society, and during which she
helped to manage a fair at Muscatine that netted $25,000 for the Sani
tary Commission. After the war her next attention was given to the
orphans of the soldiers, and she was one of the incorporators of the
Iowa State Soldiers' Ophans' Home, and as a fitting finale to her
efforts in service and memory of the loyal defenders of the nation Mrs.
Cadle was one of the chief solicitors of the fund with which was
erected at Muscatine the first soldiers' monument in the state. She
also kept up her church and temperance work and her interest in sci
entific studies until the final summons came April 12, 1885.
��MARY HELEN (DAVISON) SHAW was born on Prince
Edward Island, at Charlottetown. March 22, 1840, a daughter
of Charles C. and Nancy (McNeil) Davison. Her paternal ancestors
came to this country in the early history of its settlement. About the
commencement of the Revolutionary war they went to the provinces
from Connecticut, being among those who remained loyal to the
crown. Her maternal ancestor, McNeil, a Scotchman, married a
daughter of the Duke of Argyle. From both her father's and mother's
ancestors she has derived that inflexible adherence to what she believes
to be right, which has so characterized her in all of the relations of life.
In early life she came to this country, and in 1867 became the wife of
Capt. E. M. Shaw of Nashua, so well known as a successful manufact
urer, and more especially as the executive commissioner from this state to
the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893. Religiously she
is a Baptist, and active in all church and auxiliary denominational work. '
Her especial work is that of the W. C. T. U., and this she follows
unfalteringly. She has repeatedly held the office of president of the
local union of Nashua, and was a delegate at large to the national con
vention of the W. C. T. U. at Chicago in 1893. She is now one of
the trustees of the W. C. T. U. Mercy Home at Manchester. Her
•only child, a son, Elijah Ray, is now a member of the class of 1897 atthe New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts, at
Durham.

��SARAH WHITE CHENEY, the accomplished wife of ex-Governor,
and ex-U. S. Senator, Person Colby Cheney of Manchester,
late U. S. Minister to Switzerland, is a representative New Hampshire
woman of old Colonial stock, her family having been in this country
since 1636. She is a daughter of Jonathan White and Sarah Bathrick
Goss, born in Amherst, having five lineal ancestors serving in the
War of the Revolution. She is Honorary Regent for New Hampshire
for the society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and
a member of the Colonial Dames. Her father was one of the earliest
manufacturers in Lowell, Mass., removing there when Mrs. Cheney was
three years of age. She was a graduate of the Lowell High School,
and completed her education at the New Hampton Literary and Scien
tific Institution. She was married to Mr. Cheney in May, 1859. She
is a woman of great executive ability, superior qualities, fine conversa
tional powers, and has been much in public life, always leading, and gra
ciously extending hospitalities incidental to the various public positions
to which her husband has been called. Modest in her nature, yet of
commanding presence, she manifests a warm devotion for home life,
yet has been her husband's adviser and helpmeet in political and
business life. Her sympathies and charities are wide and far reaching,
though unostentatious. She has been for many years President of the
Woman's Aid and Relief Society of Manchester. Her fondness for
architecture has led her to give much time in planning various im
provements, not only in her own home, but also in connection with
her husband's affairs. She has a large circle of distinguished friends,
both at home and in Europe, whom she often visits. Governor and Mrs.
Cheney have one daughter, Agnes, the wife of Mr. Charles H. Fish, and
Mrs. Cheney's chief delight is in her two little grand-daughters. The
three generations are members of one household, contributing to the
social pleasure of Manchester, in their hospitable home.

��AUGUSTA COOPER BRISTOL.
AUGUSTA COOPER BRISTOL, poet and lecturer, the youngest
of ten children of Col. Otis and Hannah (Powers) Cooper, was
born in Croydon April 17, 1835. Her poetical taste was manifest in
childhood, her first verses being written when she was eight years of
age. She excelled in mathematics and early manifested an aptitude
for logical and philosophical reasoning. Educated in the public
schools and Canaan and Kimball Union Academies, she began teach
ing at fifteen, and was thus employed until her marriage at twenty-two,
with G. F. Kimball, from whom she was divorced five years later. In
1866 she married Louis Bristol, a lawyer of New Haven, Conn., remov
ing to Illinois. In 1869 she published a volume of poems, and, the same
year, gave her first public lecture, which circumstance seems to have
changed the course of her intellectual career. In 1872 she removed to
Vineland, N. J., her present home, whence she has been frequently
called before the public as a speaker. She was four years president of
the Ladies' Social Science class in Vineland. In 1880 she gave a
course of lectures before the New York Positivist Society on "The
Evolution of Character," and another before the Woman's Social Sci
ence Club. In June, following, she went to Europe and spent several
months studying the equitable association of labor and capital at the
Familistere, founded by M. Godin, in Guise, France, also representing
the New York Positivist Society in an international convention of
liberal thinkers in Brussels, before which body she gave a lecture upon
the "Scientific Basis of Morality." Returning home she published
the " Rules and Statutes " of the association in Guise. In 1881 she
was chosen lecturer of the New Jersey State Grange and was employed
on a national lecture bureau of the Patrons of Husbandry. Since her
husband's death in 1882, she has seldom appeared upon the platform,
but was one of the speakers in the Congress of Representative Women
at the World's Fair in Chicago.
��MARY MARGARET GILE
MISS MARY MARGARET GILE was well bom and happily
endowed. Family traditions increased this inheritance, and
her early life among the New Hampshire hills made it rich indeed.
Her ancestors fought in the most noted battles of the Revolution.
Her father, the late Alfred A. Gile, was a man of fine integrity, who
held his children to strict account, both for their morals and their
manners, while the quiet Christian influence of the mother supple
mented that of the father. After a thorough training in the schools
of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, Miss Gile entered upon her
life work as preceptress of the Clarence Academy, Clarence, N. Y.,
where she was associated with her brother, Joseph Gile. She next
became Preceptress of the Warsaw Academy, at Warsaw, N. Y.,
where she remained nine years. In each of these positions she dis
played that skill which has brought her such signal success. After
short terms at Cleveland, O., and Worcester, Mass., she began her
work at East Orange, N. J., where she now resides with her youngest
brother, Dr. Francis A. Gile. Many a successful man and woman
owes much to Miss Gile for the mental and moral impetus received
from her in the high school of this town. Here she closely identifies
herself with her surroundings, being an active member of Christ
church and its Sunday-school, also of the Daughters of the Revolution,
the Woman's Club of Orange, and the Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A.
Besides her articles for the newspapers and her essays, Miss Gile con
tributed an article entitled, " Individual Influence upon our Nation,"
to the New Jersey scrap-book for the World's Fair. Her paper on the
History of Education, written for the school of Pedagogy of the Uni
versity of the City of New York, received favorable comment from our
best educators. She has recently graduated from this university, and
may truly be considered one of the progressive women of our time.
Her personality is quiet but strong ; her life, noble, true, and effective.
��THE Pine Tree State is the birth-place of many women whose in
fluence has subsequently been felt in the social, intellectual, and
moral life of New Hampshire. Among the number is Mrs. Luther F.
McKinney. born Sharlie P. Webb, in Raymond, Me., July 7, 1852—
a daughter of Josiah P. and Elizabeth D. (Witham) Webb, and a
descendant of Paine Wingate, also of the renowned Hugh de Payens,
her father's ancestors coming from England in the early history of the
country. She received her early education in the common schools
and at the North Bridgeton Academy, and completed the same at
Carlisle, Pa. She was united in marriage with Rev. Luther F. McKin
ney, then pastor of the Universalist church at North Bridgton, August
1, 1 87 1 . In 1873 they removed to South Newmarket, now Newfields,
N. H., and three years later to Manchester, where he was for ten
years the eminently successful and popular pastor of the Universalist
church. The marked success of Mr. McKinney's professional career
was due in no small degree to his wife's efficient aid and cooperation.
Endowed with tact, discrimination, and social graces of a high order,
with great energy and executive ability, she was thoroughly at home
in parish and society work, while she entered heartily into all her
husband's plans and purposes, proving at all times a safe counsellor and
ready helper. In his political career, also, she has been of much assist
ance, her ready judgment proving a safe reliance in many emergencies.
In the household she has ever presided with grace and dignity, whether
in her modest home in New Hampshire, at Washington, where Mr.
McKinney was a representative in congress for two terms, or in the
ministerial residence at Bogota, where he now represents the United
States government. A true and faithful wife, she is also a devoted
mother, and to her care and guidance their two sons, Frank and Harry,
the former a graduate of St. Lawrence University and Baltimore Law
School, owe the foundation for future careers of honor and usefulness.
MRS. LUTHER F. McKINNEY.

��IF it be true that "poets are born, not made," the same is true of
artists in music or otherwise ; yet the highest natural gifts require
constant and careful training in order to obtain the best results. In
old-world lands, with their history, legends, and myths, children are
born breathing the very air of poetry and music. That great artists
should there develop is natural, for the influence of centuries is upon
them. In our land we are fed upon the stern realities of life, and our
history is of no aid to the student in art; yet we have in New Hamp
shire a source of inspiration in our wonderful mountain and lake
scenery, and in our midst there have been, and yet will be, born poets
and musicians, whose uplifting words and work will be felt for genera
tions to come. Miss Ada M. Aspinwall, though yet in her youth, has
gained distinction as a pianist second to that of no woman now residing
in the state. She was born and has ever lived in the city of Concord,
and its people take due pride in her reputation and success. Born of
the sturdy New England type, endowed with a musical nature manifest
ing itself in infancy, ambitious to excel, and blessed with adequate
physical powers, she has been a student of the piano from early child
hood, her instruction, commencing at eight years of age, being the
best in the city for several years, followed by private lessons for five
years with the best instructors at the New England Conservatory,
while for three years past she has enjoyed the tutelage of the noted
Milo Benedict. As accompanist for the Concord Choral Union she
has won more than local favor, in festival work in and out of the state
has been highly commended, and as a soloist she has developed much
ability. She has done good work as a teacher of the piano, nor has
her attention been confined to that instrument ; for four years past she
has been organist at the White Memorial church of Concord.

�MARY S. DANFORTH. M. D.
MARY SHEPARU DANFORTH is a native of the town of Derry,
a daughter of Charles and Rebecca (Batchelder) Danforth, born
May 1 8, 1853. She was educated in the public schools of Manchester
and in Pinkerton academy, Derry, graduating from the latter institution
in 1869. She commenced teaching at a very early age, and had taught
twenty-one terms before she was as many years of age. Immediately
after her graduation at Derry she went as a teacher to Danielsonville,
Conn., where she had charge of a school of 200 pupils, and won an
enviable reputation as instructor and disciplinarian. Having deter
mined to enter the medical profession, she pursued her studies in that
direction with Dr. Alfred R. Dearborn of East Weare, Dr. Isaac Hovey
of Atkinson, and Dr. William Hammond of Philadelphia, Pa., and at
the Woman's Medical college of Pennsylvania, graduating from that
institution March 25, 1875. In May following she commenced prac
tice in Manchester, where she has continued with marked success,
establishing a large general practice and gaining a ieputation for skill
and judgment which has caused her services to be sought frequently
in consultation in places many miles away. She was made a member
of the Manchester Medical society in April, 1877, and shortly after
elected its secretary, being the first woman in America to hold such
an office. At the annual meeting of the New Hampshire Medical
society in June, 1878, she was admitted to membership in that organ
ization, being the first female member, and this without application
on her part. She was a delegate from the New Hampshire Medical
society to the International Medical Congress at Washington, in 1884,
of which the renowned Dr. Austin Flint was president, and attracted
marked attention by her emphatic opposition to unlimited vivisection,
which gave rise to the extended discussion of that question. Dr.
Danforth is outspoken in her recognition of the kindness and courtesy
ever manifested toward her by the gentlemen of her profession.

�MRS. H. MARIA GEORGE COLBY was born in Warner,
N. H., October i, 1844. She is the daughter of Gilman C.
and Nancy (Badger) George, and is of English descent on both sides
of the family ; the Georges, in fact, have a coat of arms that dates
back to the ancient days of chivalry. Mrs. Colby is a social leader
and an authoress. She early developed strong literary tastes, and
while in her teens wrote a number of novelettes that were published InNew York and Philadelphia houses. Later she paid more attention
to the magazines and newspapers, and she became an acknowledged
authority upon domestic topics. Circumstances have rendered it impos
sible for her to give her whole time to literary work, but her articles
have appealed in the Housewife, the Housekeeper, the Housekeeper's
Weekly, the Christian at Work, DemoresCs Monthly Magazine,
Arthur s Home Magazine, Youth's Companion, the Congregationalist,
the Portland Transcript, Ladies' World, Good Cheer, the Philadelphia
Press, the Chicago Ledger, the Golden Rule, Good Housekeeping, and
St. Nicholas. She was for five years the fashion editor of the House
hold. She has made use of various pen names, but is best known to
editors and the public by her maiden name, H. Maria George.
A stanch advocate of temperance, and equal rights for both sexes, she
furthers these as well as every other good work by her pen. In
December, 1880, Miss George was united in marriage to Frederick
Myron Colby, the well known litirateur. Their pleasant home is in
Warner.

��REBECCA WEEKS WILEY, M. D.
THE ancestral lines along which Rebecca Weeks Wiley is able to
trace her kindred reach back through families distinguished for
education, patriotism, and statesmanship. These include Horace
Greeley on one side and Daniel Webster on the other. Many unpub
lished incidents in the early history of these noted men are held as
family heirlooms. Her immediate relatives were characterized by quick
discernment, executive ability, and sterling integrity. Her father, John
Gale Weeks, was a hatter in Gilford when Rebecca was born, March 20,
1848. She was educated at Laconia academy. New Hampshire female
college, and Boston University School of Medicine, graduating from
the latter in the class of '82. Dr. Wiley at once began practice in
Laconia, "The City on the Lakes," and thus became the first woman
physician in the state north of Concord. Some of the best families in
the city and adjacent towns took early opportunity to express joy over
her settlement. Her practice, at first good, gradually increased, until
at times she has been overwhelmed with professional work. It was a
great relief to her when her only son, Maurice G. Wiley, graduated
from medical college, and in June, 1894, opened an office adjoining her
own. She is a member of the New Hampshire Homoeopathic Medical
society, and the American Institute of Homceopathy. Dr. Wiley has
been called much in council, and her relations to the profession have
been uniformly pleasant. The dream of youth was a prophecy of
which the practice of medicine is a fulfillment, and she is an enthu
siast in her profession. To some extent she has complied with re
quests to address public assemblies on education and hygienic subjects,
but fidelity to a growing practice has compelled her to decline many
such calls. In church relations she is a Free Baptist. She is sympa
thetic and co-operative with her husband. Rev. Frederick L. Wiley, in
his literary and philanthropic pursuits. They are mutually happy in
their respective departments of work and sacrifice for human good.
��MARILLA M. RICKER.
MARILLA MARKS, daughter of Jonathan B. and Hannah D.
(Stevens) Young, was born in New Durham in 1840. Her father
was an ardent Whig, the New York Tribune was the family paper, and
its close perusal gave her the decided political convictions which make
her now an earnest Republican. Educated in the public schools and New
London academy, she taught with much success for several years. In
1863 she married John Ricker, Esq., of Madbury. They made their
home in Dover, where Mr. Ricker had a large real estate business. He
died in 1868, leaving her a good property. In 1872 she went to
Europe, resided for a long time in Germany, and thoroughly mastered
the German language. Returning, she went to Washington, where she
read law with Albert G. Riddle and Arthur B. Williams, and was ad
mitted to the bar in 1882, being examined with eighteen young men and
outranking them all. She was the first New Hampshire woman to become
a lawyer, and practised successfully in Washington many years, being
admitted to the bar of the United States Supreme Court in 1892.
For some time past she has been United States commissioner and
examiner in chancery for the District of Columbia. In 1890 she
applied for admission to the New Hampshire bar. This raised the
question of woman's right to admission to the bar in this state. After
due consideration by the full bench Chief Justice Doe rendered a deci
sion to the effect that she could be admitted the same as any man who
is a practising attorney in another state. Mrs. Ricker early became a
believer in equal rights for men and women under the constitution, and
offered her ballot at the polls in Ward Three, Dover, in 1870, with her
reasons for demanding a voter's privilege, being the first woman in the
state, and probably in the country, to attempt to vote. She has spoken
effectively on the stump in national campaigns for the Republican party.
She is frank, generous, and open hearted, a friend of the unfortunate,
a champion of many reform causes, a hater of sham and hypocrisy.

�MISS HARRIET PATIENCE DAME, the Florence Nightin
gale of New Hampshire, was born in North Barnstead, January
5, 1 8 1 5 . She was the youngest of the six children of James Chadbourne and Phebe (Ayers) Dame. Her father was a farmer and
teacher, and of her mother Miss Dame writes, She was the grandest
woman in the world." The future heroine of the Civil War early
showed a self-reliant and helpful spirit, and after receiving a good edu
cation she engaged in various occupations in New England and the
West. She was living in Concord at the time the war broke out.
Miss Abbott in the New England Magazine for June, 1895, pays this
tribute to her distinguished career: " Perhaps Concord's most valua
ble contribution to the Civil War was Miss Harriet P. Dame, an army
nurse, whose record is without a parallel. For four years and eight
months, from April, 1 86 1 , to Christmas, 1865, Miss Dame cared for
the soldiers, most of the time as field nurse for the Second New
Hampshire Volunteers. She endured all the privations of the troops,
marched and camped with them, being oftentimes the only woman
among a thousand men. She has nursed her 'boys' through small
pox, she has worked all night on the field caring for the wounded, and
she has buried the dead. In her eighty-first year she is still at her
post in the Treasury Department at Washington, where she has been
for the last quarter of a century. A woman absolutely free from selfseeking, she has earned the gratitude of all who know her, and she
cares little for any other reward."

�MRS. SOPHIA ORNE JOHNSON, better known as "Daisy
Eyebright," for many years a resident of Bath, was born at
Springfield, Mass., June 1, 1826. Her parents were Elisha and
Eunice (Lombard) Edwards. She was educated at Prof. William
Wells' school at Cambridge, Mass., and early in life showed a great
fondness for literature. In November, 1847, she married Col. James H.
Johnson, of Bath, N. H., who was a member of the twenty-ninth and
thirtieth congresses. She met much fine society in Washington at that
time. In 1869 a severe freshet in northern New Hampshire carried
away in ten minutes all the lumber mills of Colonel Johnson, destroying
his chief income. Mrs. Johnson began to write for the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican, the Country Gentleman, Albany, N. Y., and the
New England Farmer, Boston, Mass. In 1871 she began a serial,
" Daisy Eyebright's Journal," for the Country Gentleman, which ran
sixteen months. In July, 1872, Mrs. Johnson joined a press party
going across the continent. In this way she became connected with
many new papers, the Prairie Farmer of Chicago, the Horticulturist,
Hearth and Home, Independent and Tribune of New York city, and the
Saturday Evening Journal, of Philadelphia. For the Prairie Farmer
she wrote a serial, " Letters of Sophie Homespun," and for the Country
Gentleman, " Horace and I." The year after her return from San Fran
cisco, she earned $1,200 by her pen, which was of great help in educat
ing her children. In 1873 she joined another press party, visiting the
Mammoth cave and Pike's Peak, and in 1889 she again visited Colo
rado. She has written thousands of newspaper articles, and her pub
lished books are " Every Woman Her Own Flower Gardener," " Hints
Upon Etiquette" (Putnam's), and "Hints for the Household." She
wrote nearly half of " Window Gardening," edited by Henry T.
Williams.

��JULIA KNOWLTON is the maiden name of one of Boston's noblest
women, born in Deerfield, Aug. 25, 1829, near the birthplace of
Benjamin F. Butler. She has a rare heritage indeed, for upon
Bunker Hill monument are inscribed the names of two ancestors, her
grandfather, Thomas Knowlton, and her maternal great grandfather,
Gen. Nathaniel Dearborn, the friend and comrade of General Washing
ton. Her parents, Joseph and Susan (Dearborn) Knowlton, are now
deceased. Her early life was spent in Concord and Manchester, and
her education was obtained in private schools. She was a pupil in the
boarding school of Miss Ela, and later in the New Hampton Institute,
where she was graduated at eighteen. For a year she taught lan
guages and mathematics in Manchester, and then " met her fate " in
the person of Micah Dyer, Jr., a young Boston lawyer, whom she mar
ried in May, 1 8 5 1 , and with whom she has led a most happy life. For
nearly forty years they have occupied a fine old estate in Dorchester.
Three children have blessed their home, one, a daughter, dying at an
early age. Two sons survive, one a physician, Dr. Willard Knowlton
Dyer, the other, Walter Richardson Dyer, follows his father's profes
sion and resides with his young wife at the home of his parents. Mrs.
Dyer's domestic life is beautiful, yet she finds time to shed her kind
ness in other homes in various ways. She is a club woman, belonging
to more than a score of organizations, charitable or literary. She is
best known for her w ork for the Soldiers' Home, as organizer and presi
dent of the Ladies' Aid Association, though the Charity Club is among
her favorite organizations. She is a member of the Castilian club, the
Educational and Industrial Union, Helping Hand society. New Hampton
Institute association, the Wintergreen club, the Daughters of the Rev
olution, and first vice president of the New Hampshire's Daughters.
She has fine literary ability, and a wonderful command of language.
Everybody loves her and everybody trusts her.

��AMONG the women of New Hampshire whose lives and charac
ters are deserving of remembrance and a place in the memorial
annals of the state was Alvina Barney, wife of Colonel M. V. B.
Edgerly. Mrs. Edgerly was descended from two of the oldest and best
known families in the state—the Barneys and Prescotts—and was the
daughter of Jedediah Barney and Eliza Prescott. She was born in
Grafton in February, 1834. Her marriage to Colonel Edgerly took
place in March, 1854, and her home was in New Hampshire until
1 88 1, when the family removed to Boston; in 1885 they went to
Springfield, Mass., which was her home up to the time of her death.
This occurred June 9, 1894, at the summer home of the family at
Beverly Farms, Mass. Mrs. Edgerly was a woman of notable charac
ter and refinement, and of sweet and patient disposition. These attri
butes were strikingly exemplified in her cheerful endurance of an illness
which covered nearly fifteen years of her life, and finally brought it to a
close. Although restricted, from this cause, in her social life, Mrs.
Edgerly had a large circle of friends who delighted in her society and
friendship; she was a woman of fine presence and charming conversa
tional gifts, a wide general reader, and a thoughtful critic of literature
and of passing events, and her intelligent criticisms and comments were
most entertaining and instructive. She was a devoted member of the
Episcopal church for many years, and it may be truthfully said that her
life was a conscientious striving after a religious ideal which was well
nigh attained. Mrs. Edgerly left, besides her husband (since de
ceased) a son and daughter, Clinton J. Edgerly and Miss Mabel C.
Edgerly.

Nature's greatest gifts to man, and upon the proper development
and culture of that power depends in large measure his usefulness and
influence in the world at large. The competent and faithful teacher of
elocution and physical culture in our institutions of public instruction,
fills, therefore, a position of no small importance. Among the most
eminent of this class is Mrs. Emma Manning Huntley, daughter of
Isaac and Harriet (Chapin) Manning, who was born in the city of
Nashua, Sept. 7, 185 1. Her great-great-grandparents on her mother's
side were James and Mary (Gibson) McColley. who were the first white
children born in the town of Hillsborough, N. H., and to whom the
Governor of the state gave the tract of land which is now Hillsborough
Bridge, upon condition that they would marry. Their parents were
among the first Scotch- Irish settlers of Londonderry, N. H. Her
grandmother on her father's side was Mary Miller of Portsmouth, a
descendant of Governor Wentworth. Mrs. Huntley received her early
education in the Nashua public schools and the Nashua Literary Institute.
She began study of elocution in Boston in January, 1877, and since then
has devoted her whole time to reading and the teaching of elocution
and physical training, and was for several years well known in New
England as a public reader of well merited popularity. At present she
is teacher of these branches of study in the Lowell High School,
Rogers Hall School for Young Ladies, Lowell, Mass., and at Mitchell's
Boys' School, Billerica, Mass. Prior to this she had charge of these
special branches in the public schools of Nashua. She also devotes
considerable time to private pupils. She is an active member of the
National Association of Elocutionists, the American Association for
the Advancement of Physical Education, and the Middlesex Women's
Club of Lowell, Mass.
��THE village of Loudon, near Concord, is the birth-place of Miss
McCutcheon, her parents being Moses and Mary (Stevens)
McCutcheon, the former dying in 1882, while the latter survives at the
age of seventy-seven. She was educated at the "Home School" in
Hanover, Penacook academy, New London academy, of which her
uncle, General Luther McCutcheon, was for many years a trustee, and
Abbot academy, Andover, Mass., from which she graduated with high
honors in 1882. After a year of travel came a year of teaching in the
Gilmanton academy, of which her brother was preceptor, followed by
three years as teacher and preceptress at Kimball Union academy. In
1886 she went to New York and to Florida, where she remained until
1 891, when with her aged mother and brother she removed to Charlestown, where she still resides, occupying a substantial home in Dexter
Row, which they purchased at the time. Miss McCutcheon is regarded
as one of the brightest and most energetic young women of the Bunker
Hill city. The Norumbega club, an organization of phenomenal growth
and high standing in the Federation, was formed largely through her
efforts. She is a charter member and its president, being one of the
youngest to hold so prominent a position in club circles. She is an
active memberof New Hampshire's Daughters, corresponding secretary
of the Abbot Academy club, and interested in the All Around club of
Charlestown, and the Daughters of the American Revolution, her
paternal great grandfather, Frederick McCutcheon, being one of the
nineteen with Stark at Bennington. The family home in Dexter Row
is a center for all interests affecting the social and literary welfare of the
women of the community. Miss McCutcheon is aided greatly in hos
pitality by her mother, who still interests herself in all the questions of
the day. Mr. McCutcheon, who is treasurer of the highly exclusive
Charlestown club, aids his sister in her work, and finely supplements
the genuine hospitality of this transplanted New Hampshire family.

��AMONG the successful teachers of New Hampshire Elizabeth
McDougall, a native of Goffstown, daughter of William and Lydia
(Gregg) McDougall, will be kindly remembered by the many who have
enjoyed her instructions. A true daughter of New Hampshire, she
received all her mental training in the public school and academy in
her native state. She entered the Literary Institute and Gymnasium
at Pembroke, at an early age, and was graduated with honors as a
thorough scholar and versatile essayist. Soon after, she was elected
principal of the female department of that institution, and entering
upon her work with an enthusiasm that could not fail of success and
with methods that were new and efficient, she brought the school to
a high degree of excellence. Health failing, she was obliged to give
up her chosen work but, not content with a quiet life, made a new
business for herself along mercantile lines at St. Johnsbury, Vt.,
where, by her rare business acumen, after a few years of prosperous
activity she acquired a competence. Manchester is now her home and
she enjoys her retirement in study and in keeping up her interest in
educational and literary matters. She has been all her life a close
student of social, political, and religious questions, and with a knowl
edge of history rarely equalled, she is a just critic of the various move
ments of to-day, and good authority upon their final results. Miss
McDougall is a person of vigorous intellect, great perseverance,
unaffected dignity, and native refinement. She is a kind friend, a
generous patron of good works, and a most womanly woman. She
is an appreciated member of the Manchester Shakespeare club, having
been director of its literary work for several years.

��MARY C. F. TUTTLE, wife of ex-Governor Hiram A. Tuttle
of Pittsrield, was a daughter of the late John L. French, Esq.,
and Mary B. M. French. She was born in the town of Loudon but
removed with her parents at an early age to Pittsfield, and was edu
cated at the Pittsfield Academy. She married Mr. Tuttle in March,
1859. They have one daughter, Harriet French, wife of Frederic
K. Folsom of Dorchester, Mass. Mrs. Tuttle is a true and womanly
woman, a devoted wife and mother, a worthy daughter of the old
Granite State and a member of the New Hampshire Daughters' Club
of Boston.

��THE REVEREND MARY BAKER EDDY, discoverer and
founder of Christian Science, was the daughter of Mark and
Abigail B. Baker. Attending the old Academy at Sanbornton, at six
teen years of age she began a successful literary career. Her "Science
and Health with Key to the Scriptures," is the text-book of Christian
Science, now in its ninety-seventh edition. A distinguished LL. D.
writes : —"The author of ' Science and Health ' wields more power with
her pen than any other writer at this period." She is also the author
of "Retrospection and Introspection," "Pulpit and Press," "Christ
and Christmas," "Unity of Good," " Rudimental Divine Science,"
"No and Yes," "Christian Healing," and other works. Mrs. Eddy's
system is based on the Scriptures, her life consecrated to God and
humanity, rigidly eschewing whatever lures therefrom. Her interpreta
tion of Scriptures being more spiritual than is common to the age, met
with strenuous 6pposition, but she has maintained throughout an
exalted Christian character, laboring only for the upbuilding of a full
and perfect religion. As a practitioner, demonstrating her pathological
system, she did marvellous cures. She began teaching Christian Sci
ence in 1867 ; in 1878 accepted a call to the Baptist Tabernacle Pulpit,
Boston; in 1881 she opened and was president of the Massachusetts
Metaphysical college, Boston ; was founder and pastor of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston ; founder and president of the first
Christian Scientist Association ; publisher of her own works ; editor
and proprietor of the Christian Science Journal. In 1889 she donated
to the Boston Church a building lot worth $40,000.
In 1895 this
church has 5.000 members, and a magnificent edifice, a TESTIMONIAL
to Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, costing over 8250,000. She owns a mansion
on Commonwealth Ave., Boston; in Roslindale a house and two acres
handsomely ornamented; in Concord, N. H., "Pleasant View," a
house with thirty-six acres, overlooking her birthplace.

��THE beautiful town of Newington, near Portsmouth by the sea, is
the birthplace of Fannie Packard Hoyt, the well-known violinist.
Miss Hoyt was born May 20, 1869, and is the daughter of Joseph S.
and Martha Hoyt. When a child she one day came across an old vio
lin and became so fascinated with its strings that an overpowering
desire came over her to master the instrument, which she did by ear,
and later under competent instruction. Her first teacher was Mr.
Henry Harlow, of Portsmouth, and before twelve years of age she
made her debut, in Music Hall in that city. At thirteen she went to
Boston, entered the Boston Conservatory, then under the direction of
the late Julius Eichberg, and later continued her studies with the wellknown violin virtuoso, Bernard Listemann. This was supplemented
by a course with Herr C. M. Loeffler. Miss Hoyt developed her musi
cal ability rapidly, and for some years has acted in the capacity of
teacher, although studying faithfully, all the while, toward perfection.
For five successive summers she led the orchestra at the Isles of
Shoals, a portion of whose members were of the male sex. During
the season of 1893 Miss Hoyt filled an engagement at Lakeview dur
ing the Chautauqua assembly, and in the summer of 1894, she organ
ized an orchestra and played with great success at Sorrento, Me., the
rival resort to Bar Harbor. While at this place she had many private
pupils, and was much in demand. She is noted beyond the limits of
New England, and fills many engagements for concert work in New
York. In person she is quite tall, and has a thoroughly honest, intelli
gent face, with fine, expressive eyes, and the sensitive mouth and chin
so often characterizing musicians. She has a cheery nature and has a
happy faculty of making and holding her friends. Miss Hoyt is a
cousin to Mrs. Phcebe Jenks, Boston's eminent artist—a native of
Portsmouth.

��MORGIA PORTER WILSON.
PROMINENT among the song birds of the Granite state, is Morgia
Porter Wilson of Laconia. Her voice was noted in childhood for
remarkable beauty of tone and timbre. Before she was sixteen she sang
leading roles in operettas, and soon began a remunerative career as a
choir singer in Concord, Manchester, and Lawrence, which continued
until her marriage. At twenty-two she accompanied John W. Hutchin
son, of the famous Hutchinson family, an uncle by marriage, on a con
cert tour, at which time her voice attracted the attention of the late
John B. Gough, who manifested a strong interest in her. Through
his assistance she began study in Boston under Mrs. J. H. Long. She
made rapid progress in her art, and at the expiration of a year engaged
for a season with Father Kemp's Old Folks' Company. Subsequently
she resumed her studies with Mrs. Long, continuing for three years,
and, later on, taking the Rudersdoff method of other teachers, and estab
lishing a high reputation as a concert soloist in New Hampshire and
Massachusetts. She had studied with profit. Carl Zerrahn said of her
that she was one of the most promising singers in New England, there
being no perceptible change of quality in the whole compass of her
voice, which comprised two and a half octaves. Morgia Porter is a
native of Manchester, the daughter of Charles C. P. Porter and Caro
line (Patch) Porter. She married, in 1 373, Mr. Julius E. Wilson,
now the successful manager of the Wardwell Needle Co., in Laconia.
where they have resided for the past nine years. Mrs. Wilson is heard
occasionally in concert, though most of her time is devoted to vocal
teaching. Her annual recital, in which she participates vocally, is a
musical event in the community, anticipated with interest. Her work,
the value of which is attested by the proficiency of her pupils, has been
heartily commended by the New England Conservatory of Music. Mrs.
Wilson blends a cultured and intellectual mind with a most gracious
and charming personality.
��MRS. ANNIS (;. MARSHALL.
ANNIS GAGE, daughter of Solomon and Dolly (Chase) Gage,
was born in Bedford, August i, 1832. She received her educa
tion in the district school and the institutes at Nashua and Reed's
Ferry, and was for some time successfully engaged in teaching, until
her marriage, January 23. 1853. with Enoch P. Marshall of Dunbarton, which town was subsequently her home until after Mr. Marshall's
decease, in September, 1891. Of an active temperament, and en
dowed with strong mental powers, she realized thoroughly the social
and intellectual limitations of life in our farming communities, especi
ally so far as woman is concerned, and when the Grange movement
began to be developed in the state, she was among the first to realize
its importance, and the advantages which it offered her sex in com
mon with the other. She became a charter member of Stark grange,
of Dunbarton, organized in 1874, and was ever a devoted laborer for
the success of the organization, and the order at large, serving seven
years, altogether, as lecturer, and occupying other official positions.
An earnest and eloquent speaker, gifted also with poetic talent of no
mean order, she has often been heard effectively, not only in grange
gatherings, public as well as private, but at general agricultural
meetings, in addresses and poems. The cause of temperance, also,
has ever found in her an ardent friend and champion, and at all
proper times and occasions she has spoken freely and forcibly in its
interest; yet never neglecting, in the slightest degree, the paramount
duty of wife and mother. In 1892, after her husband's decease,
she removed to the beautiful village of Milford, where, in a cosy cot
tage, with attractive surroundings, and a beautiful outlook, her home
is now established in companionship with her daughter Jessie, a
teacher in the Milford schools. Lydia. another daughter, for a time
engaged in departmental work in Washington, is now a teacher in that
city, while Bertha, the third, is the wife of L. (). Goodhue of Bow.
��T T TOMAN long ago won recognition in the domains of literature
V V and education, and in certain professional lines had competed
successfully with man ; but, until recently, had not demonstrated
capacity for success in the business world. Of late there has been a
tendency among American women to engage in business lines, and
they have furnished therein many notable examples of successful
work. Among those in New Hampshire who have succeeded in
this direction is Elizabeth Kilburn, wife of Daniel C. Remich, and
daughter of B. 'vV. Kilburn of Littleton, the noted landscape photogra
pher, and leading American manufacturer of stereoscopic views. A
descendant of John Kilburn, the pioneer settler of Walpole, whose
heroic defence of his home against four hundred savages during the
incursion of the Canadian Indians in 1755 made the name immortal,
she inherited the energetic and self-reliant spirit of her ancestry, and,
on the completion of her school course, instead of devoting herself
mainly to fashionable hfe and social pleasures, she chose to direct her
attention to the increasing demands of her father\s business, in which
she had ever taken interest, and was soon able to assume full oversight
of the departments of manufacture and sale, in the management of
which she has developed large business sagacity, while her taste and
judgment have proven of constantly increasing value with reference to
new plans and lines of work. Meanwhile she has neglected none of
the just demands of society or the claims of humanity. She is at home
in the drawing room, the literary circle, or in private and organized
charitable work. She is a trustee of the Littleton Public Library,
actively interested in church as well as educational affairs, enters heart
ily into her father's plans for beautifying the town and promoting
the comfort and enjoyment of the people, is in full sympathy with her
husband in his reform work and other activities, and neglects no move
ment in the community where her power for good may be exercised.

��IN the annals of American patriotism, no name shines more brightly
than that of New Hampshire's gallant son, John Stark, and among
the representative women of the Granite State to-day there is none
more worthy of regard than Elizabeth Page Stark, great-granddaugh
ter of the hero of Bunker Hill and Bennington, who was born and
has ever lived on the old Stark homestead in Manchester, over-looking
the valley of the Merrimack, where five generations have lived and died
whose remains now repose in the family burial place in " Stark Park"
close at hand. Here was the dwelling-place of the brave old soldier,
of his son, John Stark, 2d, his grandson, John Stark, 3d, father of
Miss Stark, whose wife was Sarah Fletcher Pollard, daughter of
Thomas Pollard, all now passed "over the river;" and here the
great-granddaughter now presides, and has for years past, with true
womanly dignity in this old mansion, which must ever be regarded as
one of the sacred shrines of American liberty, filled as it is with relics
and mementoes of the Revolutionary period and of him who was a
leader in the "days that tried men's souls." Miss Stark is a member
of Grace Episcopal Church of Manchester. She is also a member of
the King's Daughters, of the Woman's Relief Corps, the N. H. His
torical Society, the Colonial Dames, and vice-president of the society
of the Daughters of the American Revolution, in all of which organi
zations she takes a deep interest. She greets with cordial welcome all
who care to visit her home and its historic treasures, and worthily
wears the honored name of Stark.

��MINNIE EDWARDS ATWOOD unquestionably stands as the
representative lady embalmer of New Hampshire, being the
first to receive a diploma from the " United States School of Embalm
ing'' under the tuition of Professor A. Renouard, who for many years
llas been acknowledged as the leading demonstrator of this science.
He writes of Mrs. Atwood, " I found her an able, intelligent, and
refined lady, of keen perceptions and clear reasoning faculties." For
six years she has unflinchingly shared the duties of her husband, Wil
liam H. Atwood, a progressive funeral director of Lisbon. As a con
tributor to the undertaking journals she labors for the higher education
of the fraternity, believing it the only means whereby an honorable pro
fession can be established for those engaged in the sacred and impor
tant work of caring for the dead; that they should be compelled to
prove by examination and registration that they are competent to
preserve dead bodies from decay and protect the living from infection ;
that good moral character, refinement, and culture are as necessary for
those who must enter the home under such peculiar and close relations,
as for the physician. Also that it is only fitting and proper for a
woman to attend the bodies of women and children. In order to make
herself a peer of any of the opposite sex in her profession, she
matriculated at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Boston for a
special course in anatomy. Mrs. Atwood is the only daughter of George
Kinsman Edwards and Harriet Kinsman (Howland) Edwards, and
was born in East Landaff (now Easton) at the base of Mount Kins
man, a peak of the Franconia Range, which took its name from Nathan
Kinsman, her great-great grandfather. Here amid the uplifting, soul
stirring grandeur of New Hampshire's natural scenery has this family
lived for five generations, until they may perchance have imbibed some
of the characteristics of the old granite hills, so dear to the subject of
this sketch whose passionate love of nature is intensely developed.

��SOPHIA DODGE HALL, daughter of Jonathan and Sarah (Han
son) Dodge, was born in Rochester, N. H., where her early Hie
was passed. She was educated in the public schools of Boston and at
Abbott Academy, Andover, Mass. In January, 1877, she married
Hon. Daniel Hall of Dover, where she has since resided. In February,
1890, Mrs. Hall was elected department president of the New Hamp
shire Woman's Relief Corps, which trust she discharged with fidelity
and success. During her administration the Soldiers' Home at Tilton
was built, and under her supervision was furnished by money con
tributed by the Woman's Relief Corps throughout the state. This
work was performed with marked energy, zeal, and executive ability.
In June, 1890, Mrs. Hall was appointed one of the Board of Lady
Managers of the World's Columbian Exposition, and to this position
brought unusual enthusiasm and intellectual grasp. She was also
made chairman of woman's work in New Hampshire, in which capacity
she collected many interesting specimens of women's work, which were
displayed in the Woman's Building. Every one who visited the New
Hampshire house will recall the attractive colonial relics and articles
of historic interest, all of which were secured by her after much effort,
and always by pledges of personal responsibility. In 1895 she was
appointed by Governor Busiel a member of the Woman's Board for
the Atlanta Exposition. Mrs. Hall has one son, Arthur Wellesley
Hall, born in 1878. She presides over a well-ordered home, and is
generous, sympathetic, public spirited, and progressive, a woman who
counts no endeavor too arduous if it is for the betterment of her family,
city, state, or country.
MRS. DANIEL HALL.
��MISS ELLA LOUISE KNOWLES, the noted lawyer of Mon
tana, was born at Northwood in 1860. Her parents were
David and Louisa (Bigelow) Knowles. Her father is still living at the
old homestead on land occupied by the family for one hundred and
twenty years. Miss Knowles was educated at the district school and
by her mother, a cultivated and accomplished woman, who died when
her daughter was fourteen. At fifteen she graduated from Northwood
Seminary, and at sixteen from the N. H. State Normal School. She
fitted for college while teaching country schools, and in 1884 was
graduated from Bates college with high honors. She paid for her en
tire education by teaching and other work. In 1884 she began read
ing law with Burnham & Brown of Manchester, but her health being
poor she was advised to go West. In the territorial legislature of
1888-'8o, she introduced a bill to permit women to practise law in Mon
tana, which was passed after strong opposition. On Dec. 28, 1889,
she was admitted to practice before the supreme court of Montana.
In April, 1890, she was admitted to practice before the U. S. District
and Circuit Courts. June 15, 1892, she was nominated for attorneygeneral of Montana by the Populist party. She made a strong can
vass, but was defeated by the Republican candidate, Hon. H. J. Has
kell, who in February, 1893, appointed her assistant attorney-gen
eral. She appears in most of the state cases, but continues her exten
sive private practice. She has been employed in mining cases where
millions of dollars were involved, and in October, 1893, she appeared
before the Department of the Interior at Washington as state attorney
in a case involving Montana school lands valued at over $200,000
which she won. She has a large and lucrative civil and criminal prac
tice. She is the only woman lawyer in Montana, but by her ability and
dignity of character she has won an enviable position, not only in the
state, but the country.
��L. AGNESE MOULTON.
MANY leading spirits in the world of human endeavor have had
their birthplace in Northern New Hampshire. Among
those worthy of special mention is L. Agnese Moulton, of Leadville,
Col., a native of the town of Lyman, daughter of William and
Maria (Stephens) Little, born January 4, 1845. She was educated in
the public school and at Newbury (Vt.) Seminary ; married James M.
Moulton. November 10, 1866, and resided in Boston, Mass., till 1875,
when she removed to Des Moines, Iowa. During the great "rush"
for the mining regions, in 1879, she went to Leadville, the greatest
mining camp in the world, where she has since resided, and where she
immediately entered upon what has proved a most successful business
career, engaging as a broker in real estate and mining stocks, in com
pany with Caryoline Finch from New York. It was an unusual line for
women to pursue, at that time, but courage and persistency won them
favorable recognition at an early day, and substantial results have fol
lowed. Mrs. Moulton is a member of the "Association for the Ad
vancement of Women," the "Women's American Protective Asso
ciation" (having been president of the Leadville Council), "The
Patriotic Order Daughters of America," " The Hermetic Brotherhood
of Luxor," and the " Colorado Woman's Suffrage League." She points
with no little pride to her efforts in behalf of the cause of woman suf
frage in Colorado, and received a measure of recognition in the first
nomination for the legislature accorded a woman by the Republican
party of the state, failing of an election only because her party in Lake
county was outvoted by the Populists. Mrs. Moulton is a ready
writer and forcible speaker and her public addresses have commanded
attention and commendation. Her highest aspiration is to be identified
with the progressive and reform movements of the age, especially for
the advancement of woman.
��MARY ISABEL GREELEY, daughter of Samuel P. and Mary
Wheeler Greeley, is a native of Manchester, but most of her
life was spent in Concord, from whose High school she graduated, and
where she was interested in musical and literary lines, her taste in the
latter direction being inherited from her mother. Miss Greeley is a
very unassuming woman, with a remarkably sweet disposition, a great
lover of nature, and a fondness for study. Her public life began with
her appointment as commissioner from New Hampshire to the New
Orleans Exposition in 1884. by Governor Hale. Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe, President of the Woman's Department, writing of her says :
My acquaintance with Miss Isabel Greeley dated from the autumn of
1884. She passed the winter with me in New Orleans. From the
first I had been impressed with Miss Greeley's intelligence and
efficiency. She soon became both secretary and treasurer of the wom
an's department, and I can only speak of her services as invaluable.
As a secretary she was prompt and exact, and her minutes never stood
in need of correction. As a treasurer her work was no less satisfac
tory. In addition to the duties of her two-fold office she exercised a
general supervision over the various exhibits comprised in our depart
ment. Although careful and exact in all her dealings she was always
patient and never gave offense by any inconsiderate or ungracious word.
Later, she compiled the detailed report of the department, which was
published. In 1886 she accepted the position of matron to the Kin
dergarten for the Blind at Jamaica Plain, the first of the kind estab
lished in this country. She still remains at the head of this institution,
in which she has endeared herself to children and teachers by her
affectionate care for all under her charge. Miss Greeley has the rare
gift of not only enjoying her work, but of making it pleasant for her
associates to work with and under her, while a deep interest in the wel
fare of others goes with her through all the varied ways of life.

��SARAH S. BEAN, daughter of Joshua and Mary L Rean, was born
in Salisbury, March 30, 1828. When she was six months old
the family removed from Salisbury and established their home in
Woodstock, Vt. Her parents were musical people, her mother being
noted as a " counter " singer (which means an octave above the present
alto). She also evinced great aptitude for music, and was a singer
from childhood. At the age of eighteen she went to Manchester, where
she has ever since had her home, becoming the wife of William Rey
nolds of that city in January, 1849. In 1 8 5 2 she began musical cul
ture with Prof. George Wood of Concord. Subsequently she studied
with Prof. Kreissman of Boston, and later with Prof. J.J. Kimball.
Before and after the commencement of her musical studies she sang in
different churches in Manchester, particularly at the Unitarian church,
with which she was identified. She also sang for five years at the First
Baptist church in Concord. Aside from this she sang extensively in
concerts and conventions until 1875. In 1876 she commenced the
study of elocution in a class of six, often called, by friends, the " Im
mortal Six." September 22, 1877, her husband died at Magnolia-bythe-Sea. In November, 1879, the "Immortal Six," desiring to read
and study Shakespeare, joined unto themselves six other kindred
spirits and organized the "Shakespeare Club." This organization, of
which Mrs. Reynolds was the first president, was the first Shakespeare
club of Manchester, and the first woman's club of any kind maintaining
a continuous organization in that city up to the present time. She re
mained actively identified with the club until 1891, since when she has
been an honorary member. In 1886 she began the study of Christian
Science, but remained in the Unitarian Society until February. 1891,
having been superintendent of its Sunday school the previous year.
Her reason for giving up church and club, which had formerly been so
dear to her, was that Christian Science had become dearer than all else.

��FEW young women in New Hampshire or the country have made
a record in scholarship equal to that of Florence Runnells, eldest
daughter of Daniel F. and Sarah Farley Runnells of Nashua. Born in
that city, March 20, 1863, she attended the public schools, passing
over the intermediate grades from the primary to the fourth grammar,
entering the high school at twelve years of age and graduating at
sixteen, the valedictorian of the class and receiving the Noyes medal
for highest record in scholarship and deportment for the four years'
course. She entered Wellesley college, upon examination, with the
class of 1879, being the first Nashua student at that institution, and
completed the classical course, graduating B. A. in June, 1883, at
twenty years of age. During her thirteen years of school attendance,
she never missed a recitation, nor was she once absent or tardy-—
thanks to an active mind, good health, and a vigorous constitution.
For two years after graduation she studied vocal music in Boston
and the French language at home, with private tutors. Subsequently
for three years she taught classes in Greek, French, history, and
literature in the Nashua high school, and assisted private pupils in
fitting for college. July 18, 1888, she married Edward F. Bryant,
a native of Woburn, Mass., manager of the Pullman Loan and Savings
bank at Pullman, 111., a suburb of Chicago, where she has since resided.
While in Nashua she was prominent in society and in charitable work,
and was an active member of the well-known literary organization, the
" Fortnightly Club," of which she was also a secretary for several years.
Her interest in these lines is continued in her present home where she
is a member of the Chicago Wellesley club. Inter-collegiate Alumnae
association, and the History and Art club of Pullman, and is also a
member of the Plymouth Congregational church of Chicago —Dr. F. W.
Gunsaulus, pastor,—and interested in its charitable and benevolent
work. She has two children, Donald Runnells and Dorothea Frances.
��MRS. MARY J. BRADFORD.
AMONG the successful business women of the country no one has
a more honorable record than Mrs. Mary J. Bradford of Clare
mont, who, though not a native of New Hampshire, has resided here
since childhood. She was born in Hartford, Vt., March 12, 1843,
removing with her parents, William and Irene French, to Claremont,
in 1856, where she attended the village schools. Subsequently the
family removed for a time to Ashburnham, Mass., where she met and
married Rufus Choate Bradford, himself a native of the Granite State.
Immediately after the marriage they returned to Claremont and estab
lished themselves in the old home on Sullivan street, where she has
ever since resided, and where her aged mother also lives. After the
death of her youngest son, Mrs. Bradford's health failed, and, being
advised to keep out of doors as much as possible, and being also
ambitious and industrious, she commenced, in a small way, the manu
facture of extracts and perfumes, disposing of the same to the public,
until, from a small beginning, and with improving health, she estab
lished a large, lucrative, and constantly increasing business, her goods
being superfine and unrivalled. In 1883 she originated a process for
making extracts from fruits instead of oils, thus securing for her pro
ductions the first place in the markets. Her husband, and eldest son,
Fred W. R. Bradford, are now joined with her in business. In 1887
Mrs. Bradford exhibited her goods at the Mechanics' Fair in Boston,
receiving a silver medal and diploma. In 1890 a gold medal and
another diploma were awarded her. The tasty display which she
makes at state fairs, and the courteous attention given all interested
visitors, is an attractive feature of the exhibitions. She has a large
manufactory in Claremont, with a Boston office at 156 State street.
Mrs. Bradford has one daughter, Minnie Bell, a graceful and talented
girl of twenty. She is herself of refined and modest bearing, and is
highly respected in business circles throughout New England.
��MARY A. (POWERS) FILLEY.
MARY ANN, daughter of Jonathan and Anna Kendall Powers,
was born in Bristol, December 12. 1821. Her earliest recol
lections are of the falling waters of Newfound river, and rugged Ken
dall hill, her grandfather's home, in Hebron. In her early childhood
the family removed to Lansingburg, N. Y., where her mother died
when she was eleven years of age, leaving six little children, and she,
being the eldest daughter, filled, for a time, a mother's place. Later
she went to reside with Mrs. Deborah Powers, an aunt; but soon, im
pelled by a desire for independence, she went to Newark. N. J., to
learn tailoring. Becoming proficient, she returned to Lansingburg.
where she was engaged until her marriage, in 1851, with Edward A.
Filley, a native of that city, then a prosperous merchant of St. Louis.
Mo., where they made their home, (though coming to New England
lor the summer,) and where a son and two daughters were born.
Living a quiet life, though in full sympathy with the reform movements
of the day, Mrs. Filley felt no call to work in them until the fall of
1872, when the passage of a bill legalizing houses of prostitution,
aroused the spirit of womanly indignation, and, with other prominent
women of St. Louis, inspired by a desire to save their city and their
sons from resulting disgrace, she labored with voice and pen until the
repeal of the law was secured. Espousing the cause of woman's suf
frage, she has also labored in its interest, going once before the United
States Senate committee, with Susan B. Anthony and others, to urge
the enfranchisement of women. Temperance, and the higher moral
life have been subjects ever near her heart, and earnestly discussed in
the New England home which she bought in 1880, in the town of
Haverhill, where, for many years, she has resided, caring for the large
farm, yet taking due interest in every movement for the betterment
and uplifting of her townspeople, of womankind, and of the world
at large, and rejoicing in the progress that is made.
��1 ''MILIE GRANT has been a favorite name in musical circles for
X_-/ many years. A native of Nashua, Miss Grant spent her childhood
in Rhode Island, but returned to her birthplace at the age of eleven.
She had a natural ear for music and played the piano intuitively. She
studied the organ with Eugene Thayer and George Whiting, now of
the Church of the Immaculate Conception, in Boston. Meanwhile
her education in other directions was completed at Stanwix Seminary,
Rome, N. Y. In December, 1870, she went abroad, remaining tourteen months, studying the organ in Berlin, with the noted August
Haupt, and piano with Robert Radecke, director of the Royal Opera ;
later with Mademoiselle Schiller and Carl Baerman. She had before
been pianist of the Nashua Choral Union, and continued after her re
turn, serving in that capacity at the second great "Peace Jubilee" in
Boston, as she had previously done at the first. She was the pianist
of the celebrated "Orpheus Club" of Nashua during its entire
existence, and was for several years organist at different churches in
that city. Removing to Boston she has filled extended engagements
at prominent churches, including the Dudley St. Baptist and Union
Congregational, Columbus Avenue; but for some years past has
been organist at Berkeley Temple. Meanwhile she has continuouslv
and successfully given instruction upon piano and organ, both in
Nashua and Boston. She excels as an accompanist, and has marvel
ous power in reading and mastering the most difficult music at sight.
This was demonstrated in a notable manner, when, in February, 1892,
she substituted for Arthur Nikisch, director of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, at the presentation of Brahm's great historical cyclus,
" Zigeunerlieder," for which weeks of preparation had been made,
being called in at the last moment through his sudden illness and
winning a brilliant triumph. In November, 1894, Miss Grant was
united in marriage with Mr. George Ware Wilkinson of Boston.

��MRS. JOHN F. ZEBLEY.
MRS. JOHN F. ZEBLEY, maiden name Nellie Bean, daughter
of Loammi and Sarah Bean, born at Weirs, near beautiful
Lake Winnipiseogee, is one of the old Granite State's most loyal
daughters. After her public school education, she pursued a two years
course at a commercial college in Boston, and has had her home in
New York city since eighteen years of age. She has traveled exten
sively at home and in foreign countries, studying art, of which she is
an enthusiastic devotee, in London, Paris, Berlin, Brussels, Vienna,
Dresden, Munich, Rome, and Venice. She is also an accomplished
linguist, being able to read, write, and speak five different languages.
She is a member of various charitable organizations, and of the socie
ties for the prevention of cruelty to children and to animals. She
married John F. Zebley, a New York banker, at Laconia in 1883.
Her summer home, " Nestledown," Zebley Farm, near Weirs, is noted
far and wide for its tasty surroundings, choice antique furnishings,
and the open hearted hospitality there dispensed. This is the ances
tral farm where her father left his family, when he departed for the
front as a member of the Eighth New Hampshire Volunteers in the
early days of the Rebellion. He was killed at George's Landing, La.,
October 27, 1862. But the old home and the father's memory have
ever been held dear by the daughter, and in honor of the latter she
erected and gave to the Eighth Regiment Association the fine granite
and bronze drinking fountain and soldiers' monument near the railway
station at Weirs, which was dedicated with impressive ceremonies at
the Veterans' reunion in August, 1894. Her mother's memory has
also been duly honored by Mrs. Zebley's presenting an elegant memo
rial window to the M. E. church at Weirs. Mrs. Zebley spends three
months during the heated period each season at her summer home,
and her presence, her hospitality, and her interested public spirit, are
essential factors in the social life and prosperity of the lake region.
��WINNIFRED HELEN
THIS bright brunette is the younger of the very talented daughters
of Mr. John M. and Mrs. Leah (Roberts) Berry of Farmington,
where she was born February 5, 1871. Of excellent New England
ancestry, a quick wit, energy, and an attractive manner, Miss Berry
makes success her willing servant in whatever she undertakes, whether
it be in entertainments for worthy local purposes, in teaching, in crayon
portraiture or landscape sketching, or in quaint and vivid pen-and-ink
miniatures, of a startling likeness to their subjects. Miss Berry was
graduated in her seventeenth year from the Farmington high school and
began teaching in her native town in the autumn of the same year, in
the primary department, filling her position with unusual ability, until,
in the course of time, her merits caused her to be called to Concord,
where she was assigned to the Penacook school building. An advan
tageous summons to Massachusetts led her to relinquish the Concord
school in the course of her first year of residence in that city, and to go
to Watertown, where she finds not alone an habitual success in teach
ing, but also the many opportunities for culture which can be obtained
only in the vicinity of a large city. Thus in her few hours of freedom
from school duties she pursues artistic work under skilled supervision,
and develops her fine gift for portraiture. As a teacher Miss Berry
devotes her talent and experience to little children, making a specialty
of primary work, instead of changing to one or another of different
grades, and this is one of the secrets of her success as an educator. It
need hardly be said that she is regarded with the fondest affection by
her classes and with cordial appreciation by their parents and the
school officers. Possessed of many resources for recreation, Miss
Berry finds music chief of them, and plays the piano with a dramatic
and poetic sense of her subject, which gives exceptional charm to her
rendering of a composer's conception.
��BORN of good old New Hampshire stock, and directly descended
from David, Prince of North England, Mrs. Nathaniel Chase
Locke, of Salem, Mass., is well worthy a place among the representa
tive daughters of the Granite state. She is a daughter of John Thomp
son and Sallie (Lewis) Felch, of Francestown, N. H., born March 1,
1837. The first Felch to come to America, from North Wales, was
Henry, who settled in Gloucester, Mass., in 1641. A son located in
Reading, whence a grandson, Daniel Felch, removed to New Hamp
shire, where his descendants have since resided. Three of her ances
tors served in the Revolution, and another, John Felch, was a soldier
in the War of 181 2. On the maternal side she is also well connected,
the Lewises pf Greenfield, originally from France, being among the
best people of the town. Other ancestors, the Thompsons, were
among the first settlers of Francestown, and cleared the first land.
Miss Felch, though reared on a farm, had good educational advan
tages, finishing at the noted Francestown Academy, where Franklin
Pierce was fitted for college. At the age of twenty-one she was united
in marriage with Nathaniel C. Locke, now head of the Locke Regulator
Company of Salem. They resided for a time in Concord, but subse
quently removed to Salem, which has since been her home. She has
two children, Albert N. and Sarah A. Locke, both talented and accom
plished. Mrs. Locke is a member of the -New Hampshire's Daugh
ters" club of Boston, and the Salem .. Thought and Work" club, and
has held high office in the United Order of the Pilgrim Fathers. She
has a taste for painting, as is indicated in her pleasant home in Salem.

��DR. ANNA B. TAYLOR-COLE.
VI / HEN the bead-roll of New Hampshire women who have proven
V V their power to overcome obstacles to accomplish desired
objects, is made up, the name of Anna B. Taylor will be found therein.
Born in northern New Hampshire, passing her girlhood upon a Whitefield farm, she breathed the spirit of self-reliance with the pure moun
tain air. A bright, ambitious girl, the tenth in a family of twelve
children, she longed for educational advantages beyond the limited
scope of the Whitefield schools. Her wish for a broader life was a
prophetic desire, and she made her opportunity. It became possible
for her to attend the Western Massachusetts Normal school. Rather
than accept the aid which would place her under lasting obligations,
she worked for her board during the course and graduated in a dress
which she had worn nearly three years, rather than go into debt for a
new one. Following graduation she taught school three years, then a
crushing sorrow came upon her. Watching long weeks at the bedside
of suffering, at the death of the loved one she passed as it were into
another life, devoted to the relief of human suffering. She studied
medicine at Boston University, meeting her expenses in part by
nursing and hospital work. During her course an attack of diphtheria
left her partially deaf, but, undaunted by the hindrance, she persevered
and graduated with honor in 1884. Settling in Charlestown, she con
tinued her study while awaiting patients, who came not tardily. In
1 890 she removed to Somerville, where she has established an exten
sive practice. Her heart is in her work and her success nobly earned.
In 1894 she married Herbert A. Cole of Somerville and unites a
happy home life with her professional duties. Mrs. Cole is a petite
woman of slender figure, and retiring, gentle manner. Only when her
face is studied is seen the strength of character which has won the
love of friends, the respect of those who disagree with her, and high
rank in her profession.

�MRS. MARY FRANCES KNOWLTON
MARY FRANCES, eldest child of William H. and Mary G.
(Hart) Marshall, was born in Hopkinton, November 19, 1837.
In 1840 the family removed to Sutton, where their early beginnings
partook somewhat of the hardships of pioneer life ; but where industry,
energy, and perseverance, the father being a wheelwright and farmer,
soon made for them a comfortable home. Mr. Marshall was a man of
more than ordinary ability, fond of scientific research, and few men in
town were as well informed as he on both scientific and general topics.
Frances, from her first school days, manifested rare application, and
made such progress in her studies, that at the age of fifteen she taught
a private school in the old brick schoolhouse on the hill at the western
outskirt of Sutton village. Her literary efforts, both in prose and
poetry, undertaken solely for the pleasure of neighbors and friends on
occasions of public entertainment, have won for her just commendation.
January 9, 1855, she married James Knowlton of New London, a car
penter and farmer, with whom she is still living, their lengthening
years being cheered by the filial affection which their children have
demonstrated in countless ways. Since her marriage, Mrs. Knowlton"s
time has been fully occupied with domestic affairs, she having reared a
family of eight children. No truer, nobler mother ever lived, and her
self-sacrifice and devotion to her children, her parents, and her friends,
constitute a luminous record to the honor of womanhood. Her chil
dren are: Edgar J., born August 8, 1856, a resident of Manchester,
journalist by profession, four years mayor of that city, and its present
postmaster; George H., a graduate of the Philadelphia College of
Pharmacy, and a successful druggist in the same city ; Nellie G. ; Alice
1i. ; May F. ; Charles R., and Ray F., the latter now fifteen years of age,
and a student at New London Academy. Her fourth child, Wesley
J., an estimable young man, who learned the printers' trade in the
Mirror office at Manchester, died, deeply mourned, in 1890.
��THE youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stiles was born
in Strafford Centre, November 25, 1862, and inherits from both
parents the sterling qualities of the pioneers of New England. After
attending the district school and Austin academy she studied through
the course of four years at the Putnam high school in Newburyport,
Mass., where she was graduated in 1881. The two years succeeding
were spent in Farmington teaching, whence Miss Stiles went to the
schools of Merrimac, Mass., remaining until 1888, when on Christmas
day she was married to Mr. Osborne W. Price, formerly of Gilmanton
but then of Farmington, where the home of the happy couple was made
until a short time ago. Their residence is now in Manchester, where
Mr. Price is in business. While a student in school, and when occu
pied in teaching, Mrs. Price studied and taught drawing and painting,
and after her marriage she found opportunity for farther development
of her talent in these pursuits, giving strict attention to the instruction
of excellent masters, and adding to previous accomplishments those of
painting on china, with her own firing, and of practical designing, in
advanced study of which she spent several months in New York before
her removal to Manchester. All her work is characterized by a dis
tinct originality, and a delicate yet spirited conception and execution
in both outline and color, and her charming sketches and exquisite
china have found a ready market, while manufacturers of silk and other
fabrics have seized at once upon her graceful designs, Many favorite
patterns in silkoline, and similar goods all over the country, are of
Mrs. Price's designing, one especially adapted to decorative purposes
being the thistle pattern, and should her health permit of close devo
tion to the work which is her true vocation, laurels will be added with
every year to those already acknowledged as hers by the unquestioned
authority in art. in recognition of her genius and the patient diligence
which alone gives to natural gifts a sphere of usefulness.

��MR. MOSES AND MRS. ELIZA (PERKINS) BATES were
among the most notable residents of Great Falls, where on
Sept. 1o, 1847, was born Harriet, the youngest of their talented chil
dren. She was educated in the public schools and by private tuition,
and, showing in childhood a marked talent for music, she was given
careful training in instrumental and vocal branches, one of her teachers
in singing for several years having been Madame Rametti of Boston.
In 1870 Miss Bates married Edgar B. LeGro, a captain in the Second
Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers, who had served for four years
in the Civil War, and died in 1879. One daughter, Edith Maude,
graduated recently from the Boston University, was the fruit of the
union. On Nov. 10, 1892, Mrs. LeGro married the Hon. Albert A.
Perkins, president of the Great Falls National bank and treasurer of
the Somersworth Savings bank. Mrs. Perkins has been always actively
interested in church work, and has held many responsible positions in
beneficent bodies. She is president of the Strafford County W. C. T. U.,
secretary of the local union, has been a delegate-at-largc to national
conventions of the society, and is president of the Dover District Mis
sionary association, giving the aid of her talents to all good works.
She has kept in touch also with the world of art and literature, and was
for several years a member of the Browning club of Boston. It is in
daily intimacy with people that their characteristics are learned most
thoroughly, for this reason the words of one familiar with the life of
Mrs. Perkins have a special weight: " She was a girl of very sweet dis
position, and became early a Christian. Well known in musical, lit
erary, and philanthropic circles, she has been not less a devoted wife
and mother, and in her late marriage to a man of position and wealth
she finds increased opportunities for usefulness, instead of living in idle
ease. Her chief charm lies not so much in her attractive person as in the
fact that she studies to do good and to make happy every one about her."

�MEN and women without number have won distinction in special
lines of effort ; others, far less numerous, have proven tqual
to all emergencies—masters of every situation—men and women of
affairs in the full sense of the term. In the latter class is Lydia A.,
daughter of Hon. John L. and Lydia (Carlton) Gray, born in China.
Me., who in her 19th year married Albert M. Scott, of Augusta,
where their only child, Hattie Isabelle, was born in 1862. Her
husband joined the Union army, and Mrs. Scott, nothing daunted,
taught school in his absence to support herself and child. After their
removal to Manchester in 1872, where their home has since been, she
continued her contributions to the press, commenced in the Kennebec
Journal, under the editorship of James G. Blaine ; and for five years she
edited the "Fireside" department of the Manchester Union. Long
an active member of the Manchester Shakespeare club, she is, and has
been for the last four years, its president. Deeply interested in the
welfare of the Union soldier, she has been active in Relief Corps work,
was a charter member of Louis Bell Corps, two years member of
department council, twice delegate-at-large in National convention,
chief-of-staff of National President Sarah E. Fuller, and a member of
the National Pensions committee with E. Florence Barker, Kate B.
Sherwood, Mary A. Logan, and Clara Barton, in 1886; but her best
work has been done through individual effort in aiding numberless old
soldiers in securing pensions. For several years Mrs. Scott has been
engaged in business lines, developing a maivellous capacity. She is
now and has been for some time past engaged in the sale of western
real estate. With all her multiplied activities she has met every just
social demand, every requirement of wide and loyal friendship, and
been especially faithful to every form of domestic duty. Her chief
delight is in her four-years old grandson, Edward Scott Swazey, of
Kansas City, an honorary member of the Manchester Shakespeare club.

��THE fine farms of Barrington have given to the advancement of
the world some very bright men and women, and a notable one
of the latter is a daughter of Dea. Thomas and Mrs. Susan (Hale)
Hussey. Her studies in the country schools were supplemented by
terms at the New Hampshire Conference Seminary and Gilmanton
Academy in the spring and autumn, the alternating seasons being
occupied by teaching. In 1854 Miss Hussey entered the State Normal
School at Framingham, Mass., from which she graduated in July, 1855.
Following a season of teaching in her native town, she became an
assistant in the Great Falls high school, but resigned her position in
1858, for one more lucrative in Stoneham, Mass., whence she was
called in 1861 to become the first assistant in the high school named,
where she taught with marked success until 1865. After teaching a
select school in her own town, she married in 1866 the Hon. William
D. Knapp, a distinguished lawyer of Somersworth, where she has
since resided. Mrs. Knapp, a member of the Pascataqua Congrega
tional Club, and trained to good deeds from her childhood, has been
prominent in religious work, and in the many avenues by which
women of like mind and culture may aid in the progress of civilization.
The love and admiration of everyone associated with her have been
deservedly hers. From 1885 to 1893-'94, she was president of the
Strafford Conference of the New Hampshire Branch of the Woman's
Board of Missions, and her resignation of the office was received with
the strongest reluctance on the part of the conference. She has been a
frequent contributor of poems and sketches to both secular and religious
papers and magazines, and has delighted readers of her home publica
tion by " Old Time Stories,'' and by reminiscences of the high school.
A history in rhyme, written for the first reunion of alumni of the school
in 1877, was published later in book form. Her literary work is most
refined and charming, in keeping with her whole life and character.

��THE most popular and successful teacher of music in northern
New Hampshire is Mrs. Hattie M. Q. Bingham, of Littleton.
She is the daughter of William K. and Mary Meserve Quimby, of
Whitefield, and was born in that town October 15, 1864. She was
educated at the Whitefield high school, and studied music— for which
she had a passionate love from childhood—with J. M. Sartwell of
Whitefield, Martha Dana Shepard and B. J. Lang of Boston, Mass.,
received instruction in harmony from Stephen J. Emery of Boston, and
fitted for teacher of vocal music in public schools with Professor Holt
of Boston. She commenced teaching instrumental music in Whitefield
sixteen years ago, and continued until her marriage with Charles F. Bing
ham, of Littleton, January 3, 1884, when she removed to the latter town
and has since been engaged as instructor in vocal music in the public
schools of both towns, and her work in this direction has been pro
nounced by competent judges as second to that of no other teacher in
the state. She also teaches large classes of private pupils in instru
mental music, having scholars from all the towns in that vicinity. In
addition to her recognized skill as a pianist, she is also an accomplished
organist, and officiates in that capacity at the First Congregational
church in Littleton. Mrs. Bingham is favored with physical health and
endurance commensurate with her professional equipment and ambition,
hence her ability to accomplish so much work and meet all the varied
demands upon her time and skill. Her best efforts are put forward at
every proper time and place to advance the Art of Music and educate
the masses.

��IN the preface to the genealogy of the Pickering family are these
words concerning their first American representative : " Many true
and distinguished men and accomplished women now living, can claim
John Pickering as an ancestor worthy of them." He went from
Massachusetts to Portsmouth (then Strawberry Bank), N. H., as early
as 1633, having originally emigrated from England. Fanny Elizabeth
Pickering, daughter of Hazen and Martha (Drew) Pickering, was born
in Barnstead, but early in life moved with her parents to Concord,
where she was educated. She was graduated from the high school in
1865, as valedictorian of her class, and was also valedictorian of the
class of '67 at Wheaton Seminary, Norton, Mass. This was the last
class at the seminary taught by Lucy Larcom. Since graduation she
has been actively connected with the New England Wheaton Seminary
Club. In 1874 Miss Pickering was married to James Minot, a veteran
of the 140th New York Volunteers, and cashier of the Mechanicks'
Bank in Concord, the city where they have since resided. Mrs.
Minot's sympathies were early enlisted in the work of the Woman's
Relief Corps, auxiliary to the Grand Army, and when E. E. Sturtevant
Relief Corps was organized, she became a charter member, and was its
first treasurer, and has also served as president. She was elected presi
dent of the Department of New Hampshire in 1893, having previously
been department secretary and instituting and installing officer. In
the national organization, she has served as assistant inspector, and
was a member of the National Executive Board, W. R. C., in 18o4-'95.
She has been officially identified with various other charitable and mis
sionary organizations, and is much interested in educational and
literary matters.

��BELLE MARSHALL LOCKE.
ONE of the most successful of the few worthy teachers ot expression
and vocal culture in New Hampshire is Belle Marshall Locke, a
native of Lancaster, wife of City Marshal G. Scott Locke, of Concord.
In her early school days she was noted for the facility and power which
she manifested in recitation. Favored also with fine musical gifts, she
was a prominent figure on the local operatic stage when a mere child.
She also early developed decided literary talent, and was a prolific con
tributor to popular publications while yet in her teens. After her mar
riage, which was an early one, she determined to thoroughly fit herself
for the field of labor toward which her natural endowments so strongly
impelled her. A year of study under the celebrated Edna ChaffeeXoble was followed by a complete course and graduation with the high
est honors from the N. E. Conservatory College of Oratory, under Prof.
S. R. Kelley, in 1884, and this supplemented by a year of special
instruction by the renowned Leland T. Powers. With such equip
ment, it is not strange that Mrs. Locke should win the remarkable suc
cess which has characterized her labors as a teacher of dramatic and
elocutionary art. Aside from her numerous pupils in Concord and
vicinity, she has taught large classes for several years in Lawrence,
Mass., and is now similarly engaged in Haverhill. Many of her pupils
in elocution have won wide public favor, and some of her dramatic pupils
are sustaining leading parts in popular companies. Last season she was
engaged at Hanover in "coaching" the prize-speaking contestants, and
was the instructor of the Dartmouth Dramatic club, which acceptably
presented " David Garrick" under her direction, as she has also suc
cessfully directed the presentation of numerous plays and operas in
various places in the past few years. Nor has her pen been neglected.
She has written ballads, operas, and comedies, her last important pro
duction, "A Modern Desdemona," being pronounced by the best critics
one of the brightest of American comedies.

�MRS. EVARTS W. FARR.
ELLEN FRANCES BURPEE FARR was born in New Hampton,
November 14, 1840, and was the only daughter of Augustus and
Sarah Glines (Robinson) Burpee. She was educated in the New Hamp
ton Institution and at Thetford (Vermont) Academy, returning at the
age of eighteen to fill the position of teacher of drawing in the New
Hampton Institution. The 19th of May, 1 861 , she was married to
Capt. Evarts W. Farr of the Second Regiment Volunteers, then in
camp at Portsmouth, and in a few days he marched to the field of
battle where the next four years were spent, with only occasional
visits home on account of disabilities. His record for bravery and his
distinguished services for his state are well known, and his early death
while a member of congress was widely mourned. As a resident of
Littleton, Mrs. Farr was actively interested in every movement for the
social, educational, and material improvement of the people, and con
tributed largely for their advancement. She inherited literary and
artistic talents of a high order, and during her residence in Washing
ton was a pupil of L. M. D. Guillaume, the celebrated French artist,
and other noted instructors, and after the death of Major Farr she
adopted the profession of an artist and has been recognized as a
superior painter in her line. She has been a resident of Pasadena,
Cal., for ten years, and her originality and poetic talent, added to
her artistic ability, have made her a leader in social affairs. She
is especially proud of having translated the letters and papers from
the French engineers that were of great assistance to Mr. Marsh
while building the Mount Washington Railway. She was officiallv
connected with the California Board of Lady Managers of the Chicago
Exposition, and her pictures in the California building won high praise.
Mrs. Farr has been the mother of three children, all born in Littleton :
Ida Louise, now Mrs. Edwin C. Miller; Herbert Augustus: and Edith
May, whose sudden death in June, 1 89 1 , caused so much sorrow.
��IDA FARR MILLER.
IDA LOUISE FARR MILLER is the eldest daughter of the late
Hon. Evarts Worcester Fair, of Littleton, and Ellen Frances
Burpee, his wife. She was born in Littleton, April 26, 1863, and is
a descendant of many of the early settlers and Revolutionary heroes
of her native state and Massachusetts, among them Presidents Dunster
and Willard of Harvard College, and Major Simon Willard, whose
name is inscribed on the famous Endicott stone at The Weirs. She
is also proud of being a descendant of Susannah Johnson, of Charlestown, N. H,, who wrote the sketch of "The Captivity by the
Indians and French of James Johnson and Family," which took place
in Charlestown, N. H., in 1754. Her education commenced in the
schools of her native town, was continued at the Convent of Mercy,
Manchester, N. H., and subsequently special courses were taken in art
at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and at Wellesley College. Resi
dences at Washington during the congressional career of her father, and
in the south, as well as Boston, have given her social advantages that
are especially valuable in her present club work. Although artistic
and literary in her tastes, Mrs. Miller is best known as a club woman,
and possessing tact, graciousness, and executive ability, she has held
high offices and is a power wherever associated. She is an hereditary
life member of the National Mary Washington Association in Wash
ington ; a Daughter of the American Revolution ; member of the
Woman's Relief Corps ; president of the Melrose Woman's Club; was
the originator and is a vice-president of the society of '. New Hamp
shire's Daughters;" associate chairman of the lecture committee of
the Women's Industrial and Educational Union, Boston ; the Cosmos
Club, Wakefield ; Wellesley Record Association, and many other organ
izations. In 1884 she married Edwin C. Miller, son of Henry F. Miller,
the celebrated piano manufacturer, and now resides in Wakefield, Mass.
There are two children, Barbara and Henry Franklin, 2d.

ited from her Balch ancestors, several of whom were public singers.
At the age of sixteen she received vocal instruction with Mrs. Annie W.
Porter, of the New England Conservatory. Her progress was rapid,
and she had a fervent desire to make music a profession. In 1886.
in Concord, she began her study in earnest, singing frequently in
public, always receiving the warmest applause and most flattering press
notices. Desiring the best, in 1888 she went to Boston and studied
with Madam Hall, George L. Osgood, and Gertrude Franklin. While
there she received a position in the First Baptist church in Concord,
where she was very warmly received. During this time she sang in
Clinton, Mass., in a ladies' quartette, of which she was first soprano,
and was received so well that a large class was formed for her and an
offer of the position as soprano in the First Congregational church,
which she successfully filled for two years, when she engaged with the
Pilgrim church of Worcester. With many regrets and kind words from
the Worcester church, she returned two years later to her former posi
tion in Clinton, which was now her home, she having been married to
Dr. Edwin L. Harris, of that place. Mrs. Harris is a very successful
teacher, combining the best points in the different methods she has
studied. As a soloist she ranks very high, sacred music being her
specialty. She has an unusual attraction for children and young peo
ple. All religious bodies find in her a ready helper. She is a wholesouled, happy woman, busy, yet giving her time, talent, and one tenth
of all her income in charity. She was born in Groveton, November 1 1,
1866, the daughter of Austin A. and Mary (Whipple) Balch. She is
a credit alike to the musical profession, the cause of Christ, and the
women of the old Granite state.
��JANE ELIZABETH HOYT, M. D.
THE first thoroughly equipped woman physician, " native and to
the manner born,'' to establish a permanent location in practice in
New Hampshire's capital city, is Jane Elizabeth Hoyt, daughter of Sewell
and Elizabeth (Nichols) Hoyt. Few physicians, even of the male sex,
have commenced their professional work with so complete preparation,
or attained such high measure of success in a corresponding period of
time, as has characterized the opening of Dr. Hoyt's career. After
attending the Concord public schools and passing four years at Wellesley, she completed the full four years' course at the Woman's Medical
College of the New York Infirmary, a course, it may be stated, so
exacting in its requirements that of eighteen students entering with
her but five were graduated. Dr. Emily Blackwell is dean of the fac
ulty of the institution, and the noted Mary Putnam-Jacobi one of the
members. During the last year of her course she enjoyed the special
advantage of being second assistant in the New York Infant Asylum.
Graduating in 1890, she spent the following summer abroad, visiting
the noted hospitals of Great Britain. On her return she became house
physician at Laselle Seminary, Auburndale, Mass., and at the same
time had the advantage of daily clinical instruction at the hands of
Harvard professors at the Boston dispensary. After a year's expe
rience here, she was for another year interne at the New England
Hospital for Women and Children. Following this, she spent a
year in continental Europe, with close study of practice in the best
hospitals of Paris, Vienna, and Italy, enjoying the instruction of the
best living physicians and surgeons. With such equipment as this,
she commenced practice in June, 1893, in the fine old home on State
street where she was born, and, as might naturally be expected, has
won success and established a reputation far superior to that of most
older practitioners. Although in full general practice. Dr. Hoyt nat
urally gives special attention to the diseases of women and children.

�LAURA WENTWORTH FOWLER.
N" O woman is belter known in Boston's musical and club circles
than Laura Wentworth Fowler, daughter of Amasa and Susan
(Nowell) Wentworth, born in Somersworth, June 1 1, 1837. She is a
descendant of Elder William Wentworth, from whom LieutenantGovernor John, and Governors Benning and John, Wentworth also
descended. Four of her ancestors fought at Bunker Hill, which admits
her to the Daughters of the American Revolution. She early displayed
rare musical ability, and at the age of eleven began to play the organ
in church. Graduating from Abbot Academy, Andover, Mass., in
1860, where she taught music during her course, she took charge of
the musical department of Lagrange Female College, Tennessee, but
returned North in a year on account of the war, and became teacher of
mathematics, languages, and music in the Concord (N. H.) High
School. During her second year here, she was called to the musical
department of Monticello Seminary, Illinois, remaining four years.
Returning East she took charge of the departments of music and
painting in Elmira College, New York, which she directed successfully
until her marriage, six years later, with William Fowler, a gallant
officer of the Union army during the war, who died November 26,
1874. Subsequently she taught eight years in Kentucky. Mrs. Fowler
has superior literary as well as musical abilities, and is a prominent
member of the N. E. W. P. A. She is a life member of the Bostonian Society, being the first woman admitted ; a member of New Hamp
shire's Daughters, director of the Massachusetts Federation of Wo
man's Clubs, and vice-president of the General Federation of Clubs
of America. She is also connected with a score of other clubs and
organizations, among which her favorite is the Abbot Academy Club,
of which she is president and founder. Mrs. Fowler is endowed with a
charming personality, and her chief characteristics are tact, will, en
ergy, and enthusiasm.
��EMMA S. HOWE, known throughout New England as a gifted
singer, a superior teacher, and a most charming young woman,
was born in Wolfeborough, and is a loyal daughter of that beautiful
lakeside town, though her parents, Thomas Wentworth and Abbie
(Nutter) Howe, were from Rochester, the former having died in 1890.
At eight years of age she began to study the piano, and later, at the
New England Conservatory, her vocal powers were developed so thor
oughly as to warrant a request from the faculty for her appearance at
the commencement concert. On this occasion she rendered the diffi
cult Polonaise from Mignon with marvellous effect, and from that time
her success was assured. While in New York the following spring,
then barely eighteen years of age, she accepted the position of leading
soprano in Plymouth church. Here she won warm friends and admir
ers, who deeply regretted her determination to reappear in concert
work. In 1882 she toured New England with Gilmore's band, making
a decided success. Colonel Mapleson pronounced her voice one of
rare sweetness and accuracy, saying: "She is the only American
singer I have heard who can sing the part of the Queen of Night in
the Magic Flute. Miss Howe has been teacher of vocal music for
seven years at Wellesley College, and three years at Wheaton Semi
nary, at the same time giving private instruction at home to large
numbers of pupils. She also sang for five years in the choir of the
Union Congregational church, Boston. In the summer of 1895, Miss
Howe and her mother travelled in Europe. In London and Paris her
voice gave much pleasure to well-known musicians. In Austria she
visited Baroness Von Wallhoffen (Pauline Lucca), who was warm in
her praise upon hearing her sing, and while there she was invited to
sing in opera before the emperor, but the time of her departure ren
dered this impossible. Miss Howe is a valued and interested member
of " New Hampshire's Daughters."

��MARTHA A. HAYES SAFFORD.
NOT often are towns able to retain the more distinguished of their
daughters to the years of their womanly prime, but this good
fortune is given to Farmington by Mrs. Safford, the well-known artist.
She is a daughter of Israel and Anne (Edgerly) Hayes, and descended
from notable people, of whom one was Col. Thomas Tash of the Rev
olution. At the age of eighteen she was married to James Fearing
Safford, formerly of Maine, a veteran of the Civil War. One son, now
arrived at manhood, blesses the happy union. Inheriting refined and
artistic tastes, and encouraged by her husband, she devoted close
attention to painting and crayon portraiture, under excellent teachers,
for the years succeeding her marriage, and has become one of the best
instructors in her specialties, in New Hampshire, and one of the
most respected of the skillful artists counted as children of the old
Granite state. She sketches from nature almost invariably, and adds
to her unusually correct drawing a fine sense of the fitness of things,
and an enviable eye for color. With the magic of her brush, a scene
which has pleased us is set again before us, in outline true, and in its
own beauty of tint : still may we feel the charm of flower and leaf,
the glowing sphere from the willing tree, and the lesser globe and oval,
from shrubs here and there invite us, and still does the fruit of the vine
hold the delicacy of its virgin bloom: while every accessory of a pic
ture has received its meed of attention from the conscientious artist.
Yet not through all these comes her chief pleasure, for more than
the simple delight of the eye is the recalling of the features of those
whom we "have loved long since, yet lost awhile," in which Mrs.
Safford is especially gifted, working often from the faint shadows of
some old and imperfect portrait, and completing a likeness which
is priceless. Any good artist may portray well from life, but one
whose intuition of the spirit is allied to the skill of eye and hand
offers to us the gift of genius.

�WHEN we affirm that one possesses the soul of genius, we have
touched the foundation on which greatness is built. Evange
line Larry possesses in a large degree, both by nature and education,
the elements which combine to make the true and successful musician.
To know her and understand her temperament, is to recognize that
she belongs to the class of artists who win honor and fame. Though
born in Weston, Mass., in 1872, she removed to Penacook, N. H.,
soon after, where her father, Rev. John Hale Larry, was actively inter
ested in educational work, and it was in the Granite state that she took
her first violin lessons, when eight years of age, and commenced the
development of her wonderful musical powers. Subsequently the fam
ily removed to Providence, R I., where her study became methodical,
earnest work, her parents deciding to fit her for a professional career.
For several years she has been a student with Herr Kneisel of Boston,
and to-day she is the most prominent violin teacher in Providence.
As a concert violinist she fills many engagements ; she plays with fine
artistic taste and finish, possessing to an unusual degree that rare qual
ity, soulfulness. Her musical insight and interpretation lend great
charm to her rendition of the classics, while her coloring of some deli
cate bits of composition, is wonderfully dainty and exquisite. Miss
Larry is modest and unassuming, with a sweet graciousness of manner
which wins many warm friends. Musically considered, she is doing a
phenomenal work for one so young. Strongly devoted to her art, it is
her plan to broaden her culture by study in Europe. She has the ideal
home environment, where she has been carefully nurtured and edu
cated. Her musical ability has been used in pleasant cooperation with
her father in his ministerial duties. Her summers are spent with the
family at " The Manse," their summer home at Penacook.

��MRS. SMALL presents a signal instance of the sterling qualities
of the genuine daughter of the Granite state. She was born
in Alton. November 12, 1837, of parents descended from the early
settlers, and from soldiers of the Revolution. She has been married
twice; first to George Jones, who died in 1864, at Hilton Head, S. C.,
while acting as wagon master in the Fourth Regiment, N. H. Vols.,
leaving one son, who resides with his mother in a charming home in
Farmington ; and second to Edmund B. Small, formerly of Maine,
and a veteran of the Civil War. Mr. Small suffered from the effects
of army life, and died in 1887, to the regret of a wide circle of friends.
Mrs. Small conducts an extensive business in millinery and fancy
goods, and also has charge of the imposing Small block, with its
stores and public halls. With home duties always first, she has been
not only an excellent daughter and sister, a conscientious wife and
mother, a generous and loyal friend, and an enterprising woman of
business, but has been prominent in various beneficent orders, and is a
charter member in nearly all to which she belongs. She has served as
state superintendent of work with soldiers and sailors in the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union: as grand vice templar in the Good
Templars ; upon the executive board of the Woman's Relief Corps in
the Department of New Hampshire, and has been the junior and
senior vice-president of the organization, although refusing absolutely
to become president, and has been a delegate to the national encamp
ment, beside filling various other positions. She acts as past noble
grand in the degree staff of the Daughters of Rebekah, and for five
years has been the mistress of exchequer in the supreme assembly of
the Pythian Sisterhood, whose gatherings she has attended in distant
cities. In the performing of her many duties Mrs. Small is dignified
and earnest, giving to them a sagacious and devoted attention.

�THERE are diverse types of admirable womanhood in New Hamp
shire, but the one that is perhaps the most truly representative,
is the woman who " looks well to the ways of her household," who is
a sympathetic wife and mother, yet who keeps in touch with the out
side world by intelligent reading, and is always ready to lend a hand
for the good of the community in which she lives. This characteriza
tion, so especially applicable to the subject of this sketch, fits many a
daughter of the commonwealth who deserves a place in any record of
New Hampshire women. Amelia E. Bennett was born October 26,
1827, in Dummerston, Vt., to Aden and Angeline (Houghton) Bennett,
but in early childhood she came to New Hampshire with her widowed
mother and two brothers. She had the best education then obtain
able, and being an exceptionally bright pupil, she grasped everything
within her reach. She taught most successfully from the time of leav
ing school till her marriage, October 24, 1847, to Charles Parker of
Lisbon. Although Mrs. Parker was never physically strong, she has
dispensed a generous hospitality through a long married life, not only
to friends but to strangers, and those in need. Of her four children,
three are now living, Mrs. A. B. Woodworth, Harry E. Parker, and
Mrs. T. J. Walker. These children will never forget the lessons they
learned in human rights from the household discussions of the mother
and father, who ardently embraced the anti-slavery cause when it was
an unpopular one. Mrs. Parker's fondness for intellectual improvement
is evinced by the fact that after her children were married and gone
from home, she took up the Chautauqua literary course for four years,
doing more than the prescribed work, thus enjoying late in life the
means of culture longed for, but impossible of attainment at an earlier
time. Mrs. Parker is not only benevolent and friendly, but she is of a
deeply religious nature, being an active and influential member of the
Congregational church.

��MARY PARKER WOODWORTH.
WHEN a full collegiate training for women was an unproved
experiment, and Vassar college had just opened its doors for
their benefit, the first New Hampshire girl availing herself of its advan
tages was Mary Parker, daughter of Charles and Amelia (Bennett)
Parker, of Lisbon, born at Sugar Hill, May 3, 1849. With a strong
ambition for intellectual attainment, she made early advance in study,
and was greatly encouraged in her purpose to secure the best obtainable
education by that great New Hampshire educator, the late Prof. James
W. Patterson. She fitted for college at St. Johnsbury (Vt.) academy,
the only girl in a class of nine, six of whose members entered Dartmouth,
and became a member of the Sophomore class at Vassar in 1867, grad
uating in 1870 with the first class honor. After graduation, she taught
in St. Johnsbury academy and at St. Agnes Hall, Bellows Falls, Vt.
September 30, 1873, she married Albert B. Woodworth. a prosperous
young merchant, then just established in business at Concord as head
of the since successful firm of Woodworth & Co. where she has since
resided. Neglecting in no degree the duties of domestic and social
life. Mrs. Woodworth has done much literary work, has been an ardent
patroness of art and music, was actively instrumental in the organization
of the Concord Choral union of which she is vice-president, is a mem
ber of the Vassar and Collegiate Alumnae associations, has been twice
president of the Boston Branch of Vassar Alumna.', and is an active
member of the Concord Woman's club. She is chiefly distinguished,
however, as the first and only woman member of the Concord school
board, to which she was elected for three years in 1890, and re-elected
in 1893, and in which position she has demonstrated the peculiar
fitness of woman for participation in educational affairs. She is a
devoted member of St. Paul's Episcopal church, and the mother of
three children, two sons and a daughter, the eldest, Edward K.. being
a member of Dartmouth college, class of '97.

�THOROUGH, conscientious, and excellent literary work has made
the name of Frances Matilda Abbott conspicuous upon the roll
of prominent New Hampshire women. Miss Abbott is the eldest
child and only daughter of John and Matilda (Brooks) ADbott, and
was born in Concord, in the house where she now lives. Her fathers
family were among the pioneers of the town, and on her mother's side
she is a descendant of the Brookses, Boylstons, and Cogswells of
Massachusetts. Her father, familiarly known as "Honest John
Abbott," was six times elected mayor of Concord. Her mother
was a woman of superior intellectual ability, who received a part of
her education at Brook Farm under the tutelage of George Ripley and
other eminent men and women associated with that movement. Miss
Abbott was graduated from the Concord High School in 1875. She
took freshman college work with Mr. Moses Woolson, and entered the
sophomore class of Vassar college, from which institution she was
graduated in 1881. She early gave evidence of literary ability, and at
the age of fourteen was a paid contributor to Our Young Folks, at that
time the leading juvenile monthly in the country. Since then her
articles have been accepted by the Forum, New England Magazine,
Cosmopolitan, Wide Awake, Frank Leslie's, and other periodicals of
national repute. She has contributed extensively to New Hampshire,
Boston, and New York newspapers. For the past six years she has
been the guest of Vassar college during commencement week, report
ing the exercises for the Poughkeepsie and New York papers. She
belongs to the Association of Collegiate Alumnae and to the Boston
branch of Vassar Alumnae. She is a life member of the historic Con
cord Female Charitable Society and the Woman's Auxiliary to the
Y. M. C. A., and is active in many forms of local club and philanthropic
work. She is prominently identified with the Shakespeare clubs of
Concord, and is much interested in historical matters.

��IN the retirement of pleasant homes in Concord and Warner,
Almira R. (Andrews) Harriman divides the seasons of her latter
years. Warner is the town of her nativity, where, as the daughter of
Noah Tyler and Sally Bean Andrews, she was born, November 8,
1819. Nurtured amid healthy influences, she grew up to be a brave,
modest, amiable woman, of mental culture, well-poised judgment, and
a congenial spirit, conducive to happy companionship. She had
adaptation to the work of instruction, and won success as a teacher.
In 1844 she became the wife of Walter Harriman. She was the grace
and strength of his home, —that home in which the husband, amid all
his high achievements and honors in civil and military life, ever found
his best enjoyment. Though her retiring disposition has always
strongly prompted the avoidance of publicity, yet she has lent a gracetul compliance with social requisitions reasonably made upon her, as
the wife of a distinguished orator, general, and governor. During the
dark days of the Civil War, when husband, son, and brothers were
at the perilous front, she bore her part in the trying hours with that
undaunted courage which was conspicuous even in her childhood.
With an unfaltering faith in the triumph of the Union cause, she lighted
up the gloom of many a home, and cheered by her presence the hearts
of Union men around the midnight camp-fire. With the quiet service
of affection—that supreme thought and purpose of her life—has
abounded a wisdom, whose salutary counsel has ever been sought and
prized by all within her range of influence. Self-forgetfulness is the
key-note of her existence. With her, the chief privilege and pleasure
of living has been in serving others.

��LILIAN CARPENTER STREETER.
IN the choice of Lilian Carpenter Streeltr as its first president, the
New Hampshire Federation of Women's Clubs acted wisely and
well. An accomplished and thoroughly womanly woman, she is a fit
leader of the movement, which, involving no aggressive campaign for
further rights and privileges for her sex, contemplates the best and
highest development of woman's powers in every legitimate direction.
A native of the town of Bath, daughter of Associate Justice Alonzo P.
Carpenter of the Supreme Court of New Hampshire, and Julia Goodall,
a descendant of one of the most noted families of Northern New
Hampshire, she has been a resident of Concord since her marriage, in
1877, with Mr. Frank Sherwin Streeter, now a leading member of the
New Hampshire bar. During all these years, while faithful to every
requirement and situation of an exceptionally happy home life, every
worthy social, educational, and philanthropic movement brought to her
attention has commanded her earnest sympathy and active support.
As the prime mover and organizer of the Concord Ramabai Circle, as
a trustee of the Margaret Pillsbury General Hospital, as leader of an
earnest band of " King's Daughters," as a devoted member and
teacher of the Unitarian Sunday-school, and as founder and the first
president of the Concord Woman's Club, she has given true, devoted,
and unselfish service in every relation, at the same time fulfilling
every demand of the social life of the capital city, of which she is one
of the brightest ornaments. A leader in the Woman's Club move
ment, Mrs. Streeter was also the first New Hampshire woman to labor
for the cause of federation, and was state chairman of correspondence
for New Hampshire with the General Federation of Women's Clubs
for two years. She was appointed by Governor Busiel, in 1895, a
member of the New Hampshire Commission to the Atlanta exposition.
Mrs. Streeter is the mother of two children, Julia and Thomas Winthrop, the former now a student at Bryn Mawr.

�THE Whitcomb family is one of the most notable in the history
of southwestern New Hampshire, has figured conspicuously in
the civil and military history of the state, and has been especially
prominent in the old town of Swanzey. A worthy representative of
this family is Lucy J. Whitcomb Carpenter, daughter of Col. Carter
Whitcomb, born during his temporary residence at Saxton's River,
Vt., March 9, 1834, but removing to his native town of Swanzey two
years later, where she has ever since resided. She was educated at
Mount Caesar Seminary, in Swanzey, under the instruction of Prof.
Joseph C. Barrett, and Rev. S. H. McCollister, D. D. June 14, 1864,
she was united in marriage with George Carpenter, of Swanzey, since
prominent in political circles in the state as a leader of the Greenback
and Labor party organizations. Soon after the Chautauqua literary
and scientific course of study was instituted both Mrs. Carpenter and
her husband took up the course and were members of the Ashuelot
C. L. S. C. for eight years, graduating with many seals attached to
their diplomas. Subsequently they pursued the University course of
study in the People's College, under able professors. Mrs. Carpenter
has fine literary ability and poetic talent. She was a leading spirit in
the organization of the Mount Caesar Library Association, which occu
pies the old seminary building, purchased and donated to the associa
tion by Mr. Carpenter. She is an active member of the order of
Patrons of Husbandry, has held various offices in Golden Rod Grange
of Swanzey, and served efficiently as lecturer of Cheshire County
Pomona Grange. She is an interested member of the Daughters of
the American Revolution, claiming eligibility from her illustrious great
grandfather, Col. Jonathan Whitcomb, who fought at Lexington and
Bunker Hill. Her kindly greeting and gracious manner add a charm
to the generous hospitality of " Valley View," their pleasant farm
home on the slope of Mount Caesar, overlooking Swanzey Plain.

�MONG the practical, helpful lives, illustrating the character of
£\_ New Hampshire womanhood, is that of Mary R. Sanborn of
Laconia, daughter of Rev. Abram and Mary (Harriman) Sanborn,
born in Sanford, Me., but a resident of the old Granite state, in which
her father was born, since infancy, her childhood's home being in the
town of Ossipee. Her great-grandfather, Daniel Sanborn, Jr., was a
Revolutionary soldier, and one of her brothers—a heroic youth, not
fifteen years of age when he enlisted in the Sixth New Hampshire Reg
iment—lies buried at Arlington ; hence her warm interest in the wel
fare of the soldiers of the republic. Educated at North Parsonfield,
Me., and the Masonic school at Drake's Corner, Effingham, she taught
successfully several years, but subsequently adopted the occupation of
writer and copyist, in which capacity she has been actively engaged at
Laconia for twenty-five years, the last five years as policy writer in the
insurance office of Melcher & Prescott. She is one of the few women
in the state holding the office of notary public, having been commis
sioned by Governor Tuttle in 1 891 . Miss Sanborn is a member of
John L. Perley, Jr., Relief Corps; has represented the corps in
department convention, and the department in national convention.
She was the first New Hampshire woman obligated in the Relief
Union, auxiliary to the Union Veterans' Union; was appointed
national installing officer; instituted Rosanna W. Beaman Relief
Union, No. 1 , of Laconia, of which she was the first president ; was a
delegate to the national convention in Boston, and elected national
president in August, 1893; labored with great zeal and efficiency for
the welfare of the order, and was reelected president at Rochester,
N. Y., in 1894. Throughout her busy, unostentatious life Miss San
born has ever been mindful of the needs of others, and many a young
girl, through her sympathy and encouragement, has found the way to a
career of usefulness and success. In religion she is a Unitarian.

�HARRIETT E. DANIELS.
IN these days of progress, when women are engaging in all lines of
business activity, the woman who gives practical business instruc
tion to others is especially worthy of recognition. Miss Harriett Eliza
Daniels, of the Daniels and Downs private school for shorthand, book
keeping, etc., at Manchester, though a native of Massachusetts, has
been a resident of Manchester since early childhood. She is the daugh
ter of Joel and Eliza (Roach) Daniels, one of her ancestors being Asa
Walker, of Ashby, Mass., a soldier of the Revolution. She was educated
in the Manchester public schools, graduating from the High school with
excellent rank. With a strong liking for business she became book
keeper in her father's store, but left this position for that of moneyorder clerk in the Manchester postoffice under Postmaster J. G. Dear
born, during President Cleveland's first term, where she served effi
ciently and made many friends. While here engaged she took up the
study of shorthand in her leisure moments, thoroughly mastering the
Pitman system. On leaving the postoffice she took desk room with
A. J. Lane, and opened an office for general stenographic work and
typewriting. Her success was marked, and she determined to open a
school of stenography and typewriting in connection with her business,
receiving both young ladies and gentlemen as pupils, and in the spring
of l892, Mrs. Clara Bennett Downs was associated with her, and the
present successful school established, giving thorough instruction in
stenography, typewriting, bookkeeping, and general business. It has
been largely patronized, and many of its graduates are expert stenog
raphers and accountants. Miss Daniels is characterized by remarkable
energy and enterprise, and has been extensively engaged in court and
general stenographic work.
She was a founder of the Manchester
Shorthand Club, has been secretary from its foundation in 1892, and
was a member of the World's Fair Auxiliary Corps, Congress of Sten
ographers. She is secretary of Ruth Chapter, No. 16, Order of the
Eastern Star.
��MRS. CLARA L. DOWNS.
MRS. CLARA LOUISE (BENNETT) DOWNS, of the firm
of Daniels & Downs, proprietors of the Daniels & Downs pri
vate school, at Manchester, is New Hampshire born and bred, being a
native of the town of Milford, the youngest of a large family of the late
Rhodolphus D., and Mary (Woodward) Bennett, highly respected citi
zens of that town. She comes of good old Revolutionary stock, her
father being a direct descendant of the famous Captain Job Shattuck,
who during the entire war evinced great courage and bravery, and gave
both money and service for the patriot cause. She attended the Milford schools, graduating with honor from the high school after a four
years' course. She engaged for a short time in teaching in her native
town, but, impelled by a strong desire for business life, and possessing
an aptitude for the work of an accountant, she went to Manchester,
where she was employed in important positions as accountant, in the
service of different firms, always giving the highest satisfaction; so
that Superintendent Buck in writing of her, says : "Mrs. Downs, by
vears of practical service as accountant for leading business houses in
the city, has attained an enviable reputation as an expert in her depart
ment." During her business career she had sought to advance herself
as far as possible in her line, studying with Professor Bacon, a French
teacher, Prof. H. F. Morse, expert accountant, and Prof. N. L.
Hickok, of Boston. She is one of the original members of the
National Organization of Accountants, started in Detroit, Mich. In
April, 1892, a partnership was formed, for the purpose of conducting
a private school, for book-keeping, shorthand, etc., with Miss Harriett
E. Daniels, this being the first of the kind managed by women in this
section of the country, and one of the most successful, while their
general office work is highly commended. She married Capt. Frank
L. Downs, of Manchester, October 20, 1885.
��MRS. MARGARET LAMSON GRIFFIN is a typical New Eng
land woman, of good old English stock, counting among her
ancestors William Wood, one of the first settlers of Concord, Mass.,
author of that very bright book, "New England's Prospects,'' published in
London in 1 635 ; Major Simon Willard, another of the distinguished men
of Concord in the early days, and a celebrated Indian fighter; Major
Thomas Henchman, of Pawtucket Falls (now Lowell), a distinguished
warrior in King Phillip's time ; Lieut. James Richardson, who was killed
by the Indians in battle, in 1675, and other men of note. Her grand
father, William Lamson, came from Charlestown, Mass., to Keene in
1787, established a successful business which was continued by his
son, Charles, father of Mrs. Griffin, and built in 1804 the house where
she was born, where she still lives, and where her children were born,
her grandchild being of the fifth generation of one family living in the
same house. On the first day of January, 1863, in the midst of the
dark days of the war, she married Colonel, afterwards Brevet Major
General, S. G. Griffin, and they have two sons. Mrs. Griffin is a

years, is active in the W. C. T. U., is one of the trustees of the
"Mercy Home," at Manchester, and president of the "Woman's
Auxiliary" of the diocese of New Hampshire, which she represented at
the General Triennial Convention at Minneapolis in 1895. It is said
of Mrs. Griffin, by those who know her well, that she presides over one
of the most charming homes in that charming little city, Keene.

��MARY L. (NOYES) PRESCOTT, wife of the late ex-Governor
Benjamin F. Prescott, is a native of the town of Atkinson, a
daughter of Jefferson and Nancy (Peart) Noyes. She removed with
her parents to Concord in early childhood and her home was in that
city until her marriage. She was educated in the Concord schools and
at Atkinson academy. Her marriage occurred June 10, 1869, since
when her residence has been at the Prescott ancestral home in Epping.
Mrs. Prescott is a thoroughly domestic woman, and her life work has
not been directed in public lines, except that during her husband's
term of office as chief magistrate, there were many important public
and social occasions of note in which she necessarily participated,
maintaining her position with dignity and grace. Notable among
these occasions was the visit of President Rutherford B. Hayes and
family, with several members of his cabinet, and other distinguished
persons, to this state, in August, 1877, when a four days' trip among
the New Hampshire lakes and mountains was made. In the spring of
1878 Governor and Mrs. Prescott visited Washington, and were enter
tained at dinner at the executive mansion, as well as by Secretary of
State Evarts, and other notables. They received much attention
while at the capital, especially from New Hampshire people there. In
November, 1878, they visited Montreal, attending the reception and
ball in honor of the Marquis of Lome and Princess Louise, and being
specially honored, as the only Americans present. At the centennial
celebration at Bennington, in 1877, and at the dedication of the Ben
nington Battle monument in 1891, they were also present. Governor
Prescott in his official capacity as president of the Bennington Battle
Monument association. Since Governor Prcscott's death in Febru
ary, 1895 (his burial occurring at Concord February 26), she has
lived quietly in the Epping home. Their only child, Benjamin F.
Prescott, Jr., is a member of Phillips Exeter academy, class of 1897.

��LIKE most New Hampshire women Mrs. Frederick K. Folsom
(Harriet French Tuttle) is essentially a home-maker, and she
cares little for public life, though her connection with the New Hamp
shire's Daughters Club, of which she is the efficient corresponding
secretary, has brought her somewhat prominently forward as a daughter
of the Granite state in Boston, where she resides in the Dorchester
district. Mrs. Folsom is the daughter of ex-Governor Hiram A., and
Mary C. (French) Tuttle, and was born in Pittsfield January 17, 1861.
She is directly descended from John Tuttle, who came to New Hamp
shire from England in 1 641 . Her grandmother, Judith Mason Davis,
was a descendant of Samuel Davis, a Revolutionary soldier. The
family on both sides have had their home in New Hampshire for gen
erations. Miss Tuttle was thoroughly educated, was a student of
Wellesley college, and has travelled extensively in our own and other
countries, having spent the year 1888 abroad. In the following year
she married Mr. Frederick K. Folsom of Dorchester, Mass., where
she has since resided. Mr. and Mrs. Folsom have one child, a bright
and handsome boy named for his honored grandfather— Hiram Tuttle.
Mrs. Folsom is talented in many directions. She is a fine reader and
has entertained the public in that capacity most acceptably upon many
occasions. She has also a taste for painting and has studied the art
with J. J. Enneking. Her summers are always spent at the old home
in Pittsfield.

��MRS. JOHN B. SMITH.
NEW HAMPSHIRE has had many ladies who have graced official
life, but no one has occupied a more ideal place in the public
eye than Mrs. John B. Smith, of Hillsborough. Miss Emma Lavender
(Mrs. Smith) was born at Lansingburg, N. Y.. on the banks of the
Hudson, February 20, 1858. She was the daughter of Stephen and
Sarah Butler (Millis) Lavender. The Lavenders are of direct English
descent, Mr. Lavender's parents having come from Kent county, Eng
land. Miss Lavender received a fine education in the public schools
of Chelsea, Mass., and at the seminary for young ladies at Plainfield,
N. J. She is a woman of well-trained mind, and broad general cul
ture. On November first, 1883, she was married to Hon. John B.
Smith, of Hillsborough Bridge. Their three children are Butler Lav
ender, who died at St. Augustine, Florida, at the age of two years;
Archibald Lavender, and Norman. In early life Mrs. Smith became a
member of the Ruggles Street Baptist church, Boston, and she has
ever been active in all good works. She belongs to New Hampshire's
Daughters, and the Charity Club, of Boston, to the Merrimack
Valley Congregational Club, the New Hampshire Historical Society,
and the W. C. T. U. For many years she was president of the latter
organization. She is a trustee of the Mercy Home, at Manchester,
and superintendent of the primary work in the church at Hillsborough.
Those privileged to know Mrs. Smith in her delightful home have long
been aware of her accomplishments and amiable qualities, but in 1893
and 1894, during Governor Smith's term of office, these qualities were
brought into wide public recognition. Never has more charming hos
pitality been dispensed by a chief magistrate and his wife. In a public
way, at the capital, and at their own beautiful home at Hillsborough
the Smiths have entertained hundreds of friends from all parts of the
state. Of tall and graceful figure, gentle and gracious manner, Mrs.
Smith adorns any position which the state or nation can offer.
��JANE GRACE ALEXANDER, daughter of Edward and Lucy
J (Capron) Alexander, and direct descendent, in the fourth genera
tion, of Reuben Alexander, who was a Captain in Colonel Ashley's regi
ment, which marched to Ticonderoga in October, 1776, was born in
Winchester, October 26, 1848. She received her education in her
native town, and was a successful teacher for several years. Early in
life she commenced keeping books in her father's office and, later on,
was active in the management of his business. She entered the Win
chester National Bank as general assistant, in 1871, but soon after
assumed the duties of assistant cashier, which position she has filled
for twenty-two years. So fully did she win the confidence of the peo
ple, by her integrity, capacity, and good sense, that in 1881 she was
elected treasurer of the Security-Savings Bank of Winchester, which
office she now holds, and is believed to be the first woman to occupy
this responsible position. Miss Alexander bears the burdens of a man,
yet is as broad and charitable in her ideas as the best of women, true as
steel in her friendships, and allows no small gossip to interfere with
her work or her life. She is a member of the Universalist church, ever
ready to sustain and support its interests with her sympathy and gen
erous aid. She has been superintendent of the Sunday-school fifteen
years, and considers it her best and happiest field of labor. She is
also treasurer of the school district, trustee of the public library, and
first Worthy Matron of Electra chapter, No. 19, O. E. S. Her home
is one of the landmarks of Winchester, a large white manor house, in
the colonial style, set many rods back from the street, and noticeable
for its antiquities, its avenue of fine maples, and its beautiful deep
lawn. Miss Alexander is devoted to the interests of her home and
spares neither tune nor money in the preservation of the homestead, of
which she is justly proud.

��MRS. ALEXANDER SALVIN1.
T~)RETTY little Maud Dixon" is the manner in which this clever
\- young actress is spoken of, and a dainty bit of femininity she
is in every-day life. Maud Dixon (now Mrs. Alexander Salvini) although
born on the other side of the ocean, was brought to this country when
an infant, and therefore knew no other home than Concord, where she
was reared and educated. When very young she developed rare musical
abilities, and was sent to the New England Conservatory of Music, where
she came directly under the care of the late Dr. Eben Tourgee, who
greatly encouraged her to adopt the operatic stage. Her first appear
ance in public was in 1882 in " Iolanthe," when that opera was given its
first production in America at the opening of the Bijou theatre in Boston.
Then followed a season in the same company on the road in repertoire,
when she was under-study for the leading soprano roles. She soon ex
perienced a desire to enter the legitimate drama, and, much against the
advice of her teacher, discarded singing for the attractions at the Union
Square theatre. New York, where she appeared in several metropolitan
successes. Here she remained for several seasons when an opportunity
presented itself to enter the company of the elder Salvini, in which she
acquitted herself successfully in each role. Young Salvini was a member
of the same company, and the acquaintance thus formed ripened into a
happy marriage October 7, 1893, in Cleveland, O. For many seasons Miss
Dixon, in the support of that versatile, romantic actor, Alexander Salvini.
from Maine to California, has made friends and admirers by her consci
entious work and her pleasing personality. In the summer of '93 she
made her first visit to the home of her ancestors in Leeds, Yorkshire,
England. She is connected on both sides with notable personages, Sir
Rupert Kettell. well known in British court circles, being a near relative
of her father. In 1894 Mrs. Salvini accompanied her husband to his
Italian home. The elder Salvini is delighted with the marriage of his
son to this charming New Hampshire girl.
��ENDOWED with rare personal charms, a fine stage presence—tall
and "most divinely fair."—an exquisite voice and gracious man
ner, few women of her years ever more delighted an audience than the
gifted young reader and elocutionist, formerly Edna L. C. Little of
Nashua, now Mrs. Houck of Penn Yan, N. Y. Miss Little is a native
of Lisbon, but resided in Nashua from childhood until her marriage
some two years since to E. S. Houck, a prosperous young business man
of Penn Yan. She is the daughter of Milo Little, a Union soldier
and member of Post 7, Nashua, and Maria (Carleton) Little, a worthy
woman and an active worker in the cause of the veterans. Graduating
from the high school at the age of seventeen she began the life of a
teacher; but, her health not warranting its continuance, she took up
the study of music and elocution, as well as painting under the best
teachers in Boston. To her study of elocution and physical culture,
faithfully practised, she owes her present excellent health. She gradu
ated with honor, and the degree of O. Ii., from the Emerson School ot
Oratory in 1 89 1 , and soon became a successful teacher and popular
public reader, commanding engagements throughout New England, and
in the state of New York, and receiving the hearty commendation of
press and public wherever heard. Although offered important posi
tions in other states, she declined them all, retaining her Nashua home
with her parents until her marriage ; pursuing her study, teaching
classes in physical culture, and filling her constantly increasing public
engagements. Possessed of marked dramatic ability she has frequently
been urged to adopt the stage and though her inclination has not been
in that direction, she might have done so with every prospect of bril
liant success. Loving her public work, she has continued the same,
and extended her field of labor, with commensurate reward, since her
marriage and settlement in the wealthy old town of Penn Yan, in
whose social life she is already a bright adornment.

��CLARA MARIA KIMBALL AYERS.
THE Kimball family, descendants of Joseph Kimball, of Exeter,
who settled in Canterbury in 1793, have long been conspicuous
in central New Hampshire. One of the most prominent representatives
of this family is John Kimball, four times mayor of Concord, president
of the state senate in 1881,and incumbent of various other positions
of honor and trust. Clara Maria, only child of Hon. John and Maria
H. (Phillips) Kimball, was born in Lawrence, Mass.. March 20, 1848,
but has passed most of her life in Concord, removing there with her
parents in childhood. Graduating from the Concord high school in
1865, she entered Wheaton seminary, at Norton, Mass., in September
following, and was graduated in 1868. June 4, 1873, she married
Augustine R. Avers, many years engaged in mercantile business
in Concord, but now an extensive farmer and dairyman at North
Boscawen. They have five children living, and two died in infancy.
The eldest, Ruth Ames, is now a student in Cornell University. While
faithfully attending to the multiplied duties of home life, Mrs Avers
has been active in social and benevolent organizations, and has never
failed cheerfully to respond to any reasonable call for assistance in
any worthy work or cause. She is a member and has been senior
vice-president of E. E. Sturtevant Relief Corps, of Concord : has been
treasurer of the New Hampshire department, aide of the national
president, and assistant national inspector W. R. C. She has also
served as secretary and treasurer of the lloscawen Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, vice-president of the Merrimack County Woman's
Board of Missions, lecturer of Capital Grange P. of H., and secretary
of Ezekiel Webster Grange, Boscawen. In February, 1895. Mrs.
Avers accompanied her father on a trip through the Mediterranean,
visiting Egypt and the Holy Land and the southern countries of
Europe. Her observations upon the journey have been delightfully
given in addresses before various organizations and assemblies.
��OCTAVIA M. (FARNSWORTH) COLLINS, daughter of
Cephas and Eunice Farnsworth, is a native of Androscoggin
county, Me., where her father was early identified with the manufactu
ring interests of the community. She is of English ancestry, the
seventh in direct descent from the Matthias Farnsworth who came to
this country from Farnsworth, Kent county, England. The family is
one of the oldest, the crest on the coat of arms indicating service under
the Plantagenets. On the maternal side she is a descendant of Hugh and
Bryce McLellan, of Portland and Gorham, Maine, representatives of an
old Scotch family. To Sir Hugh McLellan of Argyle was given its coat
of arms in 1645. The McLellans came to America from Londonderry
Ireland, about 1730, and became well known for their sterling integ
rity, enterprise, and thrift. Rev. Elijah Kellogg, a cousin of Mrs.
Collins's mother, has told their story in the " Struggles of my Grand
father for a Homestead." She received a thorough education at
private schools, in Norridgewock and Brunswick, Me., at Bates college
and the Massachusetts Normal Art School, and was for years principal
of a grammar school in the city of Worcester, Mass. Subsequently
she was engaged in teaching for some time in Newton, Mass., mean
while contributing to the columns of various educational publications.
For the last fifteen years Mrs. Collins has been a resident of Franklin,
and for seven years past, has been editor and manager of the Merrimack
Journal newspaper, giving to the work a measure of industry, energy
and intelligent enterprise seldom equalled in that line of effort; greatly
improving the paper, and giving it a standing and circulation superior
to most papers of the same rank in the state. She is the Franklin
agent of the Associated Press, and she is an active member of
the New England Woman's Press Association. She has one son,
Farnsworth, fourteen years of age, in whose education she is deeply
interested.

��MRS. CHARLES H. SAWYER.
SUSAN ELLEN, daughter of Dr. James Wellington and Elizabeth
(Hodgdon) Cowan, descended from Peter Coffin who came to
Dover in 1636, and Major Caleb Hodgdon of Revolutionary fame, was
born in Dover, August 13, 1839, educated in the public schools of her
native city, and at Abbot Academy, Andover, Mass. She was mar
ried February 8, 1865, to Charles Henry Sawyer, governor of New
Hampshire 1887-89. Their children are William Davis, married
Gertrude, daughter of Hon. Joshua G. Hall of Dover; Charles
Francis, married Gertrude, daughter of Hon. Henry W. Severance,
of San Francisco; James Cowan: Edward; Elizabeth Coffin. The
three elder sons are alumni of Yale University. William and Charles
are associated in business with their father. James is taking post-grad
uate studies at Harvard, Edward is an under-graduate at Yale, and
Elizabeth is a member of Mrs. Stearns's School at Amherst, Mass.
Few women have been so blessed and happy in their domestic life as
Mrs. Sawyer. She is a generous and delightful hostess, welcoming
many guests in her home in Dover, and during the summer months she
is the center of happy companies in the cottage on the beautiful heights
at York. She is a devoted member of the First Church, president of
the Woman's Auxiliary to the Y. M. C. A., in which position she has
been remarkably efficient and helpful ; Regent for the Dover Chapter
of the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and a
member of the Colonial Dames. Mrs. Sawyer has traveled widely,
and is happily conversant on topics of home and foreign interest. She
combines great strength of character with rare womanly sensibilities.
She reminds one of the saying of Ruskin : "The best women are
indeed necessarily the most difficult to know: they are recognized
chiefly in the happiness of their husbands and the nobleness of their
children : they are only to be divined, not discerned by strangers."
��A RARE combination of tact and ability, in Maria Louise Eastman,
made her one of the most successful teachers in the country.
Although not a native of the Granite State, she was essentially a New
Hampshire woman, her father, Robert Eastman, being a native of Con
cord, and the great-grandson of Ebenezer Eastman, one of the first set
tlers of the town, and an officer of the colonial forces at the siege of
Louisburg, while her mother, Sarah Elizabeth Lee, was of the best
Southern blood, and a kinswoman of the Virginia Lees. Miss East
man was born in Brunswick, Me., and enjoyed superior educational
advantages, attending the excellent young ladies' school there, con
ducted by Miss Chapman, and being specially favored otherwise
through her father's connection with Bowdoin College. The family
subsequently removed to the ancestral home in East Concord, and Miss
Eastman engaged in teaching, first in the town of Newport, and later
in Concord, where she conducted a private school several years, estab
lishing an excellent reputation. Securing a fine position as teacher in
a young ladies' school near Media, in that state, she removed to
Pennsylvania, and entered upon a career which proved remarkably suc
cessful. She was instrumental in the establishment, and was for a
time associated in the management of the famous Brooke Hall school
at Media, but subsequently became sole proprietor and principal of
this institution, which, under her management, became one of the
most noted young ladies' schools in the country, and which she
conducted until a few years before her death, February 17, 1895.
An efficient teacher. Miss Eastman was also endowed with great
business capacitv. She made her school profitable, and acquired a
large property; but her benevolent nature impelled her to contribute
largely for the benefit of worthy causes, and her total benefactions are
said to have exceeded $100,000. She was a devoted Episcopalian, and
a zealous worker for the Union cause during the late war.

��ELLEN BEAL MOREY.
ABBIE ELLEN BEAL, or Nellie Beal, as she was familiarly
called, was born in Orfordville, N. H., of parents who were
descended, on both sides, from Pilgrim stock, while the family lineage
has been traced back for several generations in England. When a
mere child she evinced that passion for music which has been the
dominating influence in her life, playing from memory at four years of
age selections from one of Palestrina's masses, which she had heard
her father perform upon the pipe organ, then, as now, a part of the
family establishment, and becoming, at eleven, organist of the village
church. Before fifteen she had fitted herself, with her mother's assist
ance, to enter one of the best schools in Massachusetts, which she did
one year in advance of the usual course. At eighteen she commenced
the study of music with Junius W. Hill of Boston. In 1874 she mar
ried Mr. Herbert E. Morey of Maiden, going abroad two years later
to pursue her studies in piano forte, organ, and theory, with Paul and
Reinecke of Leipsic, and Dr. Theodore Kullak of Berlin. Subsequent
seasons were spent in Rome, Florence, Milan, and London, in the
study cf vocal music and instrumentation. Returning to America,
Mrs. Morey organized a chorus and orchestra, which she herself con
ducted, being the first woman in America to use the conductor's baton.
For 20 years she has played the organ and had charge of church
music, teaching unremittingly during tl.e week. Her extensive travel
has brought her thoroughly in touch with the musical and artistic
centres of Europe, while her intense disinclination to the life of a
public performer has caused her to give up many opportunities which
would have made her name a famous one. She has five children, the
eldest being at school in Europe. Mrs. Morey is in the very prime of
life, a vigorous, handsome woman, entirely free from self-conscious
ness. Her summers are generally spent among the Alps, yet her heart
is loyal to her own "Switzerland of America"—New Hampshire.
��MRS. HENRY W. BLAIR.
DURING the eighteen years' service of ex-Senator Henry VV.
Blair in the congress of the United States, wherein he initiated
and championed various measures of commanding importance while
neglecting none of the calls of his constituents in other directions, he
was encouraged and sustained in his public work, as in his ready
response to the demands of social and professional life, by a loyal and
devoted wife, who had also given him strength and inspiration in his
previous years of service in the Union army in the war against rebel
lion. Eliza Nelson Blair is a native of Plymouth, daughter of Rev.
William and Dolly Sumner (Elliott) Nelson. Her father was a Metho
dist clergyman of great ability, one of the early "circuit-riders,'' who
settled in Plymouth when he retired from active ministerial labor.
She was educated in the Plymouth schools and at Newbury (Vt.) Sem
inary. While the one great fact in which Mrs. Blair takes pride, and
which she deems the honor of her life, is that she has been her hus
band's wife, sharing his desire to help the people—all the people,
regardless of race, sect, or condition, and encouraging him in all his
efforts to that end, she has a distinct individuality, and is a power
for good in the social and intellectual world. She has been an active
member of the "Woman's Anthropological Society," the "Garfield
Memorial Hospital," and the "National Association for the Advance
ment of Science" at Washington, of the " Interrogation" and " His
toric Art'' Clubs of Manchester, and the " Manchester Federation of
Women's Clubs," and is the first vice-president of the New Hamp
shire Federation, recently organized. A year ago she gave to the
world, through Lee & Shepard, the now famous novel, " Lisbeth Wil
son," which has been generally pronounced one of the best and most
wholesome stories of New England life and character ever produced.
She has one son, Henry P. Blair, a graduate of Dartmouth and a law
yer in Washington.
��FANNY HUNTINGTON RUNNELLS POOLE is directly de
scended from the early Huntingtons of Connecticut, who have
given us Governor Samuel Huntington, Jedediah Huntington in poetry,
and Daniel Huntington in art. She was born in Orford, and is the
daughter of Rev. M. T. Runnells, well-known as pastor and historian.
In June, 1895, she published the successful book of verses entitled, "A
Bank of Violets,'' which has already secured the favorable considera
tion of forty reviewers in America and England. She has received
appreciative letters from several of the literati, among them Pierre Loti,
I. Zangwill, and John Gilmer Speed, who is a grandnephew of John
Keats—one of her favorite poets. Mrs. Poole attended the seminary
at Tilton two years. She is a musician ; much of her early life
having been devoted to piano study begun under her mother's guid
ance. Eleven years were spent in music study and teaching in Boston,
New York, Frankfort (Ky.), and at the Parkesburg (Pa.) Classical
Institute. Her repertoire is extensive; Beethoven and Chopin are
her especial delight. Indeed, had it not been for her absorbing love for
literature she would have chosen the profession of pianiste. But the
poetry and charm of a quiet life appeal more directly to Mrs. Poole. In
1 89 1 occurred her marriage with Allan A. Paul Poole, a nephew of the
English historical painter, Paul Poole, R. A. Mrs. Poole and her
children have spent the last few summers near her fathers home at
Newport. Although Boston is her winter home, the long bright days
from May to November have usually found her, from earliest youth,
among the beautiful New Hampshire hills she loves so well.

��MISS MARY D. FIFE.
ONE of the best known firms in Manchester is that of M. D. Fife
& Co., dealers in pianos and organs, occupying spacious quar
ters in the new Weston building. The head of this firm, Mary Doro
thy, daughter of John D. and Mary (Fowler) Fife, was born in Fenacook, educated at Penacook Academy, studied music with Professors
Jackman and Morey of Concord, and commenced teaching and playing
the organ in church at fifteen years of age. Subsequently she went
West, studied voice culture with her aunt, Mrs. L. M. Dunn, long
one of the most noted teachers of Chicago, piano with celebrated
German instructors, and taught for three years. Returning to New
Hampshire, she engaged for a time in teaching but her services
were soon sought by a piano and organ house at Laconia, on
account of her musical ability and knowledge of instruments. Accept
ing this position, and also playing the organ in church, teaching
music, accompanying at concerts, etc., she remained at Laconia until
1885, when she went to Manchester and established the firm of M. D.
Fife & Co. Her father was for a time associated with her, but for
several years the business, which is the largest in the state, and the
only one in this line conducted by a woman, has been managed
entirely by herself. Meanwhile she has pursued her piano studies in
Boston, with Warren A. Locke, exponent of the Deppe Method, and
taught the same extensively in Manchester. Her practical knowledge
of the piano and the merits of the various makes, is of great ad
vantage to herself and patrons, and by her persistent efforts to
induce the purchase of the best instruments, she has contributed
greatly to the elevation of the musical taste of the community. Miss
Fife has been an earnest supporter of all measures promotive of musi
cal culture and progress, and first gave impulse to the movement
culminating in the recent symphony concerts in Manchester, and the
organization of the New Hampshire Philharmonic Society.
��AMONG the musically gifted daughters of New Hampshire, Katherine Prescott Crafts may justly claim a place in the foremost
rank. On her father's side she is a direct descendant of Col. William
Prescott of Bunker Hill fame, and on the side of her mother, claims
kinship to Mary Scudder, immortalized in the " Minister's Wooing."
The talent that has been her best heritage, and aided by her great
energy has given her an enviable place in the musical world, comes
from no remote ancestry. Her father, David Porter Prescott, was
long conspicuous in musical circles, possessed a voice of great com
pass and sweetness, and was recognized as one of the best tenors New
Hampshire has known. By the death of her mother, when she was
but four years of age, Katherine was left to the care of her father.
Singing as naturally as the birds in spring, but one career was sug
gested for her. She received her early education in the public schools
in Bristol, her native town, and studied French and German later with
private teachers. She began the study of music in Boston in 1885,
receiving the best instruction the city afforded. Obstacles were pre
sented but they were quietly but firmly overcome. Her voice, a high
soprano, became with cultivation one of rare purity and sweetness. She
declined flattering opportunities to sing in concert and opera, preferring
the excellent church positions offered. Among these may be noted
the First church. Maiden: the Unitarian, Concord, N. H. ; and the
First Congregational. Melrose, while her last engagement was with the
Union Congregational, Boston. To study her art abroad has been a
dream of her life that she hopes yet to realize. June 17, 1895, in the
little home church in Bristol, Katherine White Prescott was married to
William Howard Crafts of Boston, and their home is in that city. Mrs.
Crafts is one of "New Hampshire's Daughters," and takes a very
active interest in the Association.

��KATE HOWARD BROWN, daughter of Nathaniel Bennett and
Lydia Wardwell Crockett, was born in the town of Andover.
Maine, July 17, 1853. Her family descended from good old New Eng
land stock. Her great-grandfather, Joseph Wardwell, was an officer
in the Revolutionary War, and a personal friend of General Lafayette,
who presented him with a sword. Both grandfathers fought in the
War of 18 1 2. In her young womanhood her parents moved to Boston,
Mass., where she commenced the study of art, which she has pursued
with much diligence since. In August, 1874, she was united in mar
riage with Gen. F. P. Brown, a merchant of Whitefield, N. H., where
they have since resided. She was converted in 1880, since which time
she has been active in all lines of Christian work. She is a Chautauquan of the class of '86. For many years she has been actively con
nected with the W. C. T. U., has several times been reelected Cobs
county president ; was delegate to the National Convention at New
York in 1888; the World's W. C. T. U. Convention at Chicago in
1893; and the Third Biennial Convention held in London in 1895,
at which time she made a tour of Europe. She has been trustee of
the Mercy Home in Manchester since its establishment.
Being
blessed with robust health, she has been enabled to accomplish
a great deal in her domestic life which is her chief delight.
MRS. K. P. BROWN.
��OTH paternal and maternal grandsires of Emily Allen Bruce, Rev.
were among the early
settlers of Wolfeborough, N. H. Here she was born and received her
early education, becoming proficient in French and Latin, as well as
the higher English branches. While yet very young, through the in
fluence of her elder brother, then a student in Harvard Theological
school, she was appointed teacher in the Dudley school, Roxbury,
where she taught until her marriage with George E. Bruce in 1866.
Five prosperous and happy years followed, during which two beautiful
boys came to perfect the home. Two years later Mrs. Bruce was
childless and a widow ; and the great Boston fire of 1872 had destroyed
her husband's flourishing business. Happiness being denied her, she
resolved to be useful, to fill her life with intense activity. To this end
she received into her family a number of young people of literary and
artistic tastes, and made for them a veritable home : took up the study
of the German language, drawing, and painting, pursuing these studies
with undiminished zeal until 1881, when, feeling that still greater use
fulness was possible to her, she resolved to study medicine, and the
same year entered Boston University School of Medicine, from which
she graduated with honors in June, 1884. A month later found her in
Paris, where, in hospitals, clinics, and medical lecture rooms, two most
busy and fruitful years were passed. Soon after her return home Dr.
Bruce settled in Boston and has since devoted herself with unabated
enthusiasm to her large and ever increasing practice. Possessing by
nature the instincts of the scholar and philanthropist, she has from
early life identified herself with scientific, literary, and charitable asso
ciations ; is at present member of the Educational and Industrial Union,
Associated Charities of Boston, New England Woman's Club, National
Society of Electrotherapeutists, Societi Francaise d'Electrotherapie,
and various other medical and non-medical organizations.

��THE daughters of New Hampshire have had many worthy repre
sentatives among the verse-writers of America, none of whom
has manifested a deeper insight into nature and the human heart with
all its longing aspirations, or a closer touch with the Infinite, than
Mary Helen Boodey, "the sweet singer of Laconia," whose life song
ended here, on the twenty-ninth day of April, 1880, but the pure,
spiritual beauty of whose verse will touch the heart of the reader for
many a year to come. Miss Boodey was born in Dover, December 11,
1847, and subsequently resided in Alton, but passed the greater por
tion of her life in Laconia, where her father, the late Jacob P. Boodey,
whose death preceded hers but a few weeks, was many years register
of deeds for the county of Belknap. Her poems, written at intervals
from her fifteenth year till the close of her life, appeared in various
publications in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, the first in the
Boston Home Journal. The later productions of her pen, both in
verse and prose, were presented through Ballou's Monthly, of which
she was an assistant editor from 1871 until compelled to retire from ill
health. Although a strain of sadness often pervaded her verse, there
was also a deep well-spring of joy in her soul, the stirring of whose
waters by some tender emotion carried good cheer to other hearts,
while her trust in the Eternal was ever-abiding, as strikingly manifest
in the beautiful poem, "After I Die." Her sensitive nature was
burdened and oppressed by the sight and sound of the world"s harsh
experiences, which eventually crushed out her young life ; yet the
same chord which shuddered and trembled at the cry of pain was as
sensitive to the sweet note of the song-bird, and as easily attuned to
joy as to sadness. It is the hope of many that the scattered produc
tions of this sweet singers pen may yet be collected and preserved in
enduring form. No worthier contribution could be made to the per
manent literature of the state.
MARY HELEN BOOUEY.

��MISS C. R. WENDELL has always resided in Dover, the place
of her birth. On the paternal side she is of Dutch ancestry,
her father, Daniel H. Wendell, Esq., being of the same stock as Wen
dell Phillips and Oliver Wendell Holmes. The Wendell family is
contemporaneous with the old Knickerbocker families of New York,
Evert Jansen Wendell, the original ancestor in this country, having
emigrated from Holland and settled in Albany about 1640. Her
mother, who was a woman of remarkable strength of character, was
descended from the English family of Jennings. In early womanhood,
Miss Wendell's life was heavily shadowed by the death of an only
brother and sister. The former was a prominent surgeon in the War
of the Rebellion, and died a few years after its close from the over
work and exposure of army life. Inheriting a strong love for benevo
lent and reform movements, Miss Wendell's life has been a busy one.
She is a woman of strong individuality and progressive thought, pos
sessing keen perception and fine executive ability, combined with quick
sympathy, broad charity, and a consecrated spirit. For thirteen years
she was corresponding secretary of the New Hampshire Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, and devoted herself with untiring zeal to
the work of the organization, much of its steady and successful growth
being due to her efforts. She was chiefly instrumental in securing the
passage of the Scientific Temperance School law and has labored earn
estly for its enforcement. In 1892 she was elected state president which
position she still holds ; and she is also president of the trustees of
the W. C. T. U. Mercy Home for girls at East Manchester. Miss
Wendell is an active member of other philanthropic societies, a thor
ough believer in equal suffrage and always ready to aid any cause that
has for its object not only the advancement of her sex but the better
ment of humanity.

��MRS. FRANCES B. SANBORN, one of the most scholarly,
cultured, and intellectual of the daughters of New Hampshire,
was born in Littleton, November 15, 1 841 . From her parents, Henry
Adams Bellows, late chief justice of the supreme court of the state, and
Katherine Walley Bellows, the daughter inherited an estate in literary
and intellectual gifts, in refinement of character and taste, in a sympa
thetic nature, and delicacy of moral perception. Her father removed
to Concord in 1850, and Mrs. Sanborn attended the public schools in
that city. In 1861 she entered the sophomore class of Antioch Col
lege, Ohio, of which her uncle, the late Thomas Hill, D. D., was
president. Under his instruction she went through the course of study,
and made up the work of four terms in one, and graduated in 1863.
In 1872 she was married to Hon. Chas. P. Sanborn, a brilliant lawyer,
once speaker of the house of representatives, and identified with the
political interests of the state. Mr. Sanborn died in 1888, leaving
three children. With an indomitable will, with wide learning, and an
extraordinary gift at inspiring the love of learning in others, and a
happy facility of imparting knowledge from her own abundant stores,
Mrs. Sanborn has for fifteen years conducted a private school in Con
cord, given instruction to private pupils, and carried on classes for
ladies in history, literature, and art. Her classes have represented the
best culture in the city, and her personal influence has been far-reaching
for good. In 1894 she began giving talks on subjects of literary, his
torical, and social interest in Concord, Keene, Franklin, Manchester,
and other places. These talks grew out of a demand, consequent on
her success with her classes for ladies, and now meet with steadily in
creasing appreciation.

��ELLEN THOMAS LIBBEY, daughter of Henry and Eveline
Thomas, was born at Littleton, September, 1843. From girl
hood she was possessed of rare common sense, —a gift heaven born.
She also combined that gentleness and strength of character which go
to make up our finest women. For some years she was a teacher in
the public schools of Whitefield, where she met, and. in 1865, married
Mr. Henry C. Libbey of that town, who is extensively known as one
of the foremost lumber merchants of the state. In 1890 they came
to Lisbon, where they now reside. Their home is one of the finest
residences in New Hampshire. Mrs. Libbey has been actively
engaged in the work of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
and at the present time she occupies the position of trustee of the
"Mercy Home," in Manchester. Her generous giving of time and
money for the uplifting of humanity, has endeared her to the affec
tions of many a lowly, suffering soul. She has travelled extensively
in her own country, and many of her friends have listened with pleas
ure to her description of Yellowstone Park. Pike's Peak, and other
places, as seen by her during a recent extended journey through the
West. Mrs. Libbey is seen at her best in her own home, where she
presides with rare gentleness and dignity. Those who have shared
her hospitality, and felt there the tender warmth of her genial nature,
realize best the true woman she is. Her marriage has been blessed
with four children—Mrs. Blanche Langford of Littleton, Herman
Libbey of the same town, Miss Grace, a student in Tilton Seminary,
and Miss Ethel, who is still at home.

��FEW lives have been deeper and stronger in reform and philan
thropic work than Urania E. (Brackett) Bowers. She was born
in Amherst, Mass., September 13, 1835, the daughter of Charles and
Lucy Brackett. Her ancestors came from Scotland, and settled in
North Haven, Conn. John Brackett, her grandfather, was for six
years in the Revolutionary war, and was at Saratoga when Burgoyne
was taken. Mrs. Bowers's youth was passed in Holyoke, and her early
education received in the public schools of that city. Later she entered
Williston Seminary at Easthampton, residing in the family of Hon.
Payson Williston, a relative by marriage. Desirous of becoming a
teacher, she entered the Normal school at Westfield. Her success in
teaching in the Holyoke public schools proved the wisdom of her
choice. In 1858 she was married to Dr. George Bowers of Nashua, a
man who stood high in his profession, and whose noble principles
made him a wise counsellor and assistant in all her work for humanity.
Mrs. Bowers is one of the most active women of Nashua in the ad
vancement of morality and religion. She was president of the
W. C. T. U. of Nashua for five years, and was successful in establish
ing a reading-room for young women. It was largely through her
efforts that a matron was secured on the police force. She went be
fore both branches of the city government to present the necessity of
such an appointment. She has been superintendent of the literature
department in the state W. C. T. U. for three years, and local seven
years, and was delegate to the Chicago World's Fair convention as a
representative of the county of Hillsboro. As a church member she
is active, serving for several years as deaconess on the board of
stewards in Pilgrim church. Her firm adherence to principle and de
termination to do what is right have made her successful in all her efforts
for character-building. Her only child. Dr. G. A. Bowers, is a graduate
of a university in Pennsylvania, and a successful dentist in Nashua.

��MRS. MIRANDA TULLOCH, daughter of Ahira and Eliza
beth Pillsbury Barney, was born in Grafton, December 18,
1835. Her great-great-grandfather, Aaron Barney, with five others,
bought the entire township of Grafton ; and her grandfather. Jacob
Barney, was the first child born in the place. Her great-great-grand
father, Edward Evans of Salisbury, was a graduate of Oxford Univer
sity, England, and a distinguished officer in the Revolutionary War.
His commission as Adjutant, 2d Reg., N. H. Militia, is dated July 18,
1777, and signed by Meshech Weare, President of the State Council,
at Exeter. Miss Barney studied at the Fisherville, Andover, and Ca
naan academies, and finished at Sainte Marie, Canada. She was mar
ried to Charles R. Swain of Belmont, who died in 1862. In 1863 she
went to Washington in the service of the New Hampshire Soldiers'
Aid Association, and labored earnestly until the close of the war.
She married in 1866 Hon. Thomas L. Tulloch of Portsmouth, one
of the most prominent citizens of her native state, and continued to
reside in Washington, where her husband held prominent government
positions. Mr. Tulloch died in 1883, and their child. Henry V.
Tulloch, is now a student at Princeton University. Mrs. Tulloch
passes her winters in her pleasant home in Washington, and her
summers in travel, of which she is very fond. She has been several
years President of the Ladies' Aid Association of the Metropolitan
M. E. Church, of which she is a member; President of the District
Home Missionary Society ; officially connected with the Garfield Me
morial Hospital ; Deaconess, Home and Sibley Hospital ; Children's
Hospital: Training School for Nurses; Woman's Christian Associa
tion ; Old People's Home : Foreign Missionary Society, etc. ; Vicepresident-General of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and
an active member of the Anthropological Societies. Mrs. Tulloch is
a woman of strong character and marked executive abilities.

�CLARA AUGUSTA JONES was born in Farmington, N. H.,
within a half mile of the childhood's home of the late Vice-Presi
dent Henry Wilson, and was the daughter of Jeremiah Jones, and his
wife, Tamson Roberts. Her grandmother on her father's side was the
accomplished daughter of Col. Crane, an officer in the British army,
and a lineal descendant of Henry, Earl of Surry. Her maternal
grandfather served in the Revolution and at the close of the war walked
home from Charleston, S. C.. barefooted, with a handful of worthless
Continental money to recompense him for long years of hard and
perilous service. Clara Augusta was the child of her father's old age,
and a very precocious child, as well. Her first published article ap
peared when she was but thirteen years of age. and since that time she
has written continuously, for newspapers, magazines, and periodicals
without number. Perhaps her best known articles are the "Kate
Thorn " papers and essays, which have been copied widely, as well as
translated into several languages for use in foreign periodicals. The
Lippincotts of Philadelphia published a volume of her poems some
years ago, and she is the author of several humorous books, the most
noted of which is "The Adventures of a Bashful Bachelor." Nearly
eighteen years ago she was married to Mr. Elbridge S. Trask, and
resides in Framingham Centre, Mass., in one of the old historic
mansions of that charming suburban town. Mrs. Trask is a member
of the New England Woman's Press Association, of the Daughters of
New Hampshire, of the Gen. J. G. Foster W. R. C., of the Framingham Woman's Club, and a well-known worker in the order of the
Patrons of Husbandry. She is still in the literary harness, and finds
herself often pressed for time to meet her numerous engagements.
CLARA AUGUSTA TRASK.

��MRS. L. M. DUNN was born in Pembroke, daughter of Joel
and Lois (Morgan) Fife. Her father had a remarkable tenor
voice, and led the choir in his native town for thirty years. From him
she inherited her great musical gift, possessing a grand soprano voice,
which musicians will readily recall. At ten years of age she stood
beside her father in church and carried the soprano, and at fourteen
was one of the leading sopranos in Dr. Bouton's church in Concord.
During ex-President Bartlett's ministry at the Franklin Street church,
Manchester, she was the soprano for a term of years, and subsequently
at Church Green, Dr. Dewey's in Boston. She inherited from her
mother literary and artistic tastes, and received diplomas for crayon
work in three states. She studied with the most eminent vocal
teachers in this country, and spent two years abroad, investigating the
vocal methods there. The climax of her studies was with Madam
Cappiani, unquestionably the greatest teacher in this country, whose
instruction she enjoyed for three years. She has been twice married :
first, to George Bradley, a son of the late Hon. Richard Bradley of
Concord; and later, to Hon. James F. Dunn, of Galesburg, 111. This
was at the breaking out of the Civil War, and Mr. Dunn, being a per
sonal friend of Governor Yates, they were invited to go down to the
battlefield of Shiloh, immediately after the battle, and Mrs. Dunn was
the first woman on that field. She went as a guest of Governor Yates,
but the suffering of the wounded soldiers enlisted her sympathies to
such a degree that she nursed them during the passage up the river to
the hospitals. She was president of the Soldiers' Aid Society, and
her grand voice was heard weekly in entertainments to raise funds to
send supplies to the hospitals. Since the death of Mr. Dunn, she has
lived in Chicago, and is one of the noted vocal teachers in that great
western metropolis.
��THE daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Daniel Plumer Cilley, Mrs.
Waldron, was born in her father's pastorate in Manchester.
Early removal to Boston, Mass., caused her to be educated almost
wholly in that city, through schools, private tutors, and the paternal
study full of books. To descent from the well known Plumers and
Cilleys, she adds that from Frosts, Sherburnes, and Pepperells of colo
nial note, through her mother, formerly Miss A. A. Haines, a favorite
preceptress in the Parsonsfield, Me., and Strafford Academies. She is
a charter member of the D. A. R., a state officer of the YV. C. T. U.,
belongs to the club of N. H. D., the N. E. W . P. A., and the Pascataqua Congregational Club. Her marriage to John Waldron, Esq.,
of Farmington, took place in 1871, and of their two daughters the
elder, Adelaide Cecil, survives. Since her first poem appeared, in
Lippincott's Magazine, while she lived in North Carolina, her work has
been printed in many periodicals, from Harper's Magazine to first-class
daily papers, and by publishers of holiday books. Mrs. Waldron,
lacking the aggressiveness of many less gifted, is a woman of unusual
abilities and most versatile talent, writing well always, whether in verse
for special occasion, a hymn, a strong sonnet, a story for children, let
ters for newspapers, or articles carefully compiled for educational and
historical journals. She craves the best in everything, —music, art,
literature, life,—yet never refuses tasks incident to a country home.
With a splendid ancestry of gallant soldiers, her record is the brav
est of them all, for with the exquisitely sensitive temperament of a true
poet and accomplished musician, yet handicapped in many ways, she
battles patiently where others would lose courage. Full of kindly
thoughts and gentle humor, sincere to the core, a working club wo
man, a faithful friend, as a writer never lowering her standard for
popularity or pay, true always to her highest ideals, she is an honor to
New Hampshire, and a constant delight to those who know her best.
ADELAIDE CILLEY WALDRON.

��WOMAN'S superior capacity for imparting instruction to the
young, or stimulating the \outhful mind in the search for
knowledge, has long been recognized, and women have been more
generally employed than men as teachers in our public schools, But
woman's capacity for administration, whether in school management or
otherwise, has not been so generally conceded. A female member of a
board of education was an anomaly but a few years ago, and the selec
tion of a woman for superintendent of schools, in any large town or city,
would have occasioned universal surprise. One of the first women in
the gauntry to occupy the latter position was Mrs. Luella M. Wilson, a
native of New Hampshire, then of Des Moines, Iowa. Mrs. Wilson
was born in Lyman, daughter of William and Maria (Stephens) Little.
She was educated in Providence, R. 1., and at the Methodist Semi
nary and Female College at Newbury, Vt. She commenced teaching
at an early age, being engaged in country schools in northern New
Hampshire and Vermont. In November, 1866, she married Dr.
Adams B. Wilson, of Bradford, Vt., who settled in Littleton. Three
years later he died, and Mrs. Wilson removed to Des Moines, where
she engaged as a teacher in the public schools, Her first position was
in the primary grade, but her marked ability was soon recognized and
she was rapidly advanced till she became principal in the Irving build
ing, and demonstrated such capacity for school management that she
was soon made superintendent of the city schools, a position which she
filled with great success until June, 1889, when she resigned to spend
a year in travel and study in Europe. Returning to America in 1890,
she located in Chicago, where she established, and still conducts, the
Stesiin school, a first-class private boarding and day school for young
ladies, at 4106 Drexel Boulevard. Mrs. Wilson is a member of the
Illinois Woman's Press Club, and has written extensively for the press
on educational and miscellaneous topics.

��CLARA LOUISE WASON was born in New Boston, and was the
only daughter of Sydney and Louisa (Trull) Hills. Her early
education was obtained in the country district schools, and was supple
mented by a course at Appleton academy. New Ipswich. When a
school girl she developed a taste for music, and after leaving the
academy she was a student of music at the New England Conservatory
in Boston, and became an excellent singer. In September, 1863, she
married Hon. George A. Wason, and lived upon a farm in her native
town until 1885, when she and her husband removed to Nashua, where
they have since resided. For four years Mrs. Wason was Ceres of the
New Hampshire State Grange, and has always been a devoted and con
scientious worker in this order, and many religious and missionary
societies. She is a woman of culture, and possesses rare foresight
into the future, keenly observing the problems of the day, and doing
whatever she undertakes with vigor and dispatch. Her life has been
one of activity, and her influence for the right. Her example and
accomplishments may well be pointed out as the achievement of a selfmade woman, She has three sons : Edward H. Wason, a well-known
lawyer in Nashua; George B., one of the firm of Wason, Pierce & Co.,
Boston, Mass., and Robert S.,a student in the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, Boston.
MRS. GEORGE A. WASON.

��FRANCINA
THE woman who, under the adverse conditions of restricted
country life, resolutely determines to make the most of the
powers with which she is endowed, and labors persistently to that end,
despite all obstacles, is entitled to greater credit than many who, under
favoring conditions, win fame and distinction. Francina D. Smith,
born in Springfield, December 13, 1844, was one of eight children of
William P. and K. Maria Spooner Smith. Ambitious for an educa
tion, endowed with a musical nature which she longed to cultivate,
though encouraged by a kind father and true and loving mother, she
had to depend mainly upon her own efforts. While aiding her parents
largely, both in the house and on the farm, she made the best of the
limited advantages of the town school, often walking miles to attend
the same. At sixteen she commenced teaching, and in seven years had
taught eighteen terms, meanwhile securing for herself the benefit of a
few terms' attendance at Colby Academy. During one term, while
teaching, she walked three miles every Saturday to take a music lesson,
practicing all day. Another term, while " boarding 'round,'' she hired
an instrument, moving it from place to place and practicing all her
leisure time. At twenty-three she married Rufus Hall of Grantham,
receiving an organ as her husband's wedding gift, which was afterwards
exchanged for a piano. When thirty-five, and the mother of three
children, she took her first and only term of piano lessons, to secure
which she drove ten miles to meet the class, the teacher coming an
equal distance. When eleven years old, Mrs. Hall was a singer in the
choir, and for more than twenty years has been organist in the M. E.
Church at Grantham, and teacher in the Sunday-school, and for three
years superintendent. She is the mother of four children, whom
she has taught music, and has given lessons to others for many years.

the town paid him $20. This old pound is still in very good

From the time of its incorporation as a town Farmington progressed rapidly and the growth was a sure, healthy
increase in population and wealth. In 1H20 tho village num

Supposing that a few facte from this
locality would not g o amiss, I am inclined to forward a few
items. This village contains about three thousand inhabi
tants, principally engaged in shoe manufacturing.
There are
nine large establishments for this branch of butuness which
turn out an extraordinary number of brogans m tho course
of a year. There is a!so a lanro sawmill in full operation.

Ifo other store in town offers the advantages to the average
shopper that the White Store does, with its innumerable stock
and varied articles to select from.
There isn't a shadow of a doubt regarding the qual

Improvements are constantly being made in tho sur

as changed as tho one that mot the eye of Irvmg's hero. If

Dottie Bean Obituary & Photos
Description
An account of the resource
Dottie Bean Obituary & Photos<br /><br />The obituary reads:<br /><br /><em>Dorothy A. Bean, 84, of Farmington passed away on August 20, 2021 after a period of declining health.</em><br /><br /><em>Dottie was born in Orange, NJ on January 6, 1937 to the late Joseph and Donna (Otey) Bean and spent her childhood in New Jersey. After her father retired, the family moved to Farmington, NH where Dottie’s grandfather owned a 340 acre farm. Dottie graduated from Cedar Crest College in Allentown, PA in 1958 with a bachelor’s degree in biology. </em><br /><br /><em>After graduation, she worked as a research supervisor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston under a grant administered by Harvard University. In 1970, she accepted a position with Tufts University at New England Medical Center in Boston, now Tufts Medical Center. </em><br /><br /><em><em>Because of her parents' failing health, Dottie moved back to her family’s Farmington home in 1990 and resigned from Tufts in 1991. Since the death of her parents, Dottie has taken care of the farm’s buildings and property. During her custodianship, she developed an abiding concern for forest preservation and farming.<br /><br />While living in Farmington, Dottie was an active member and avid supporter of many area organizations, including the NH Farm Museum, where she was the membership registrar; NH Historical Society; Farmington Historical Society, where she had served as president and headed a committee to publish a book on the town’s history; Farmington Woman’s Club; Goodwin Library, where she had served as a trustee; NH Preservation Alliance; Currier Museum of Art; Wright Museum and the First Congregational Church of Farmington, where she was active in the Women’s Fellowship and was one of the founding members of Blessed Bargains thrift shop. She also worked at the voting polls during each town election for many years and in 1995, she was named Puddledock Press Person of the Year. Dottie was an enthusiastic supporter of the Boy Scouts, Moose Mountains Regional Greenways and the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, where she was passionate about conserving the land. </em></em>
<p><em>Her deep appreciation of history and land converged on her own property, where she worked tirelessly for more than 30 years on the restoration and improvement of her historic home and land. Her conviction in the importance of farming and her belief in the need to preserve and protect undeveloped land led Dottie to establish the Joseph D. ‘26, Donna M. and Dorothy A. Bean Endowed Fund at the University of New Hampshire. She established this fund in honor of her father who graduated from UNH in 1926. This fund will provide need-based scholarship support for students enrolled in the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture and will also provide general support for COLSA faculty members.</em></p>
<p><em>There will be a graveside service at Pine Grove Cemetery in Farmington, NH on Sunday, September 12 at 1:00 PM. If you wish to honor Dottie’s memory with a donation, please direct it to the charity of your choice or to the UNH Foundation with Bean Endowed Fund in the memo, University of NH, 9 Edgewood Road, Durham, NH 03824.</em></p>
