PREFACE. 
 
 The movement to revive the memory of Mrs. Emma Willard began in 
 1890, when some ladies in Troy, N. Y. started the project of erecting the statue 
 of Mrs. Willard, which has since been set up in the Seminary grounds. This 
 was followed, in 1891, by the formation of the Emma Willard Association, 
 with the object of honoring her name, and promoting the cause of higher 
 education among women — which had been the leading motive of her life. 
 The correspondence connected with this brought to light much honorable 
 history in the lives of surviving pupils of the Troy Seminary, and of pupils 
 now dead, whose descendants treasure reminiscences of notable, and often 
 brilliant, careers that seemed worthy to be perpetuated ; and in 1892 the publi- 
 cation of a Biographical Record of the school was decided upon, and the work 
 of collecting the requisite data was begun, under the direction of a Committee, 
 of which Miss Mary A. Hastings was Chairman, and Mrs. Henry L. Palmer^ 
 General Secretary, with Mrs. M. M. Fairbanks, '45, as Editor. 
 
 The time to be covered was the fifty years lying between 1822 and 1872. 
 To trace the history, not only of the alumnae of the school, but of all the pupils 
 who had belonged to it during that half century which began seventy-five years 
 ago; to find and identify some seven thousand women, scattered all over our 
 broad land, most of whom had taken new names — some of them more than 
 once, and half of whom had passed away from earth — this was a task the like 
 of which was probably never before undertaken — ^and one far greater than its 
 originators had even dreamed. 
 
 Inquiries were made through circulars addressed to living pupils, or to 
 surviving friends. These failing, postmasters, clergymen, and town-clerks 
 were applied to, and some records have even been gathered from the moss- 
 grown tablets of ancient cemeteries. These circulars were distributed, and the 
 information elicited by them obtained, by a staff of Secretaries, each one of 
 whom was assigned to a separate section of the country. 
 
 Among these ladies whose untiring labors and efficient research have thus 
 furnished the material for this volume, are Mrs. Harry S. Bartholomew of 
 Bristol, Conn. ; Miss Sarah F. Hopkins of Kalamazoo, Mich. ; Mrs. Amasa R. 
 Moore of Troy ; Miss Frances M. Banks of Cincinnati, Ohio ; Mrs. Robert Ward 
 of Orange, N. J. ; Mrs. Isabella Laing of Schuylerville, N. Y. ; Mrs. Edw. Ward 
 of Bloomfield, N. J. ; Mrs. Harold L. Crane of New York city ; Mrs. H. A. Balch 
 of Washington, D. C. ; Miss Sarah Reilay of Hillsdale, Mich. ; while others have 
 rendered valuable service. 
 
4 PREFACE. 
 
 The volume herewith submitted to the public might be fittingly entitled 
 " The Story of a School." It is not the work of one author, but the collaboration 
 of many who, at the roll-call of the Emma Willard Association, have answered 
 to their names with spontaneous tributes to their Alma Mater, the "Troy 
 Female Seminary " and its founder, Mrs. Emma Willard. 
 
 As side-lights often give a clearer idea of events than the rays that fall 
 from one direction only, it is believed that these quaint recitals and fragments 
 of unvarnished personal history will visibly outline the steps of woman's 
 advancement in the world of letters, while they bear grateful witness to the 
 far-reaching influence of her whose work and worth we seek to commemorate. 
 In these days of light and liberty for an aspiring sisterhood, when Women's 
 Colleges are an accomplished fact, and an " open sesame " is written over the 
 gateway of every profession, when a " Mothers' Congress " at our Capital 
 publicly considers the physical culture of their children, there is the flavor of 
 ancient history in the chronicle that the study of Physiology was proscribed for 
 our grandmothers as indelicate, and that Higher Mathematics was omitted from 
 their curriculum before the founding of Troy Female Seminary in 1821. The 
 motive and aim of this book is to establish, through the testimony of her pupils, 
 Mrs. Willard's right to the title of "the pioneer of Higher Education for 
 Woman," thereby furnishing the raison d'etre of the Emma Willard Association, 
 and its demonstrations in her honor. 
 
 Of the pupils of the first decade few are now living, but satisfactory and 
 often interesting reminiscences of them have been furnished by their descend- 
 ants. In rare instances the trembling but still legible chirography of a " Sem- 
 inary girl " of the twenties has borne witness to the happy fulfillment of a 
 well-rounded life. While many of the papers contributed may seem to tran- 
 scend the purpose of a school record, let it be borne in mind that each sketch 
 has its message for some partial reader, and for every pupil who will find her 
 name within these pages, there are tidings of some friend, the current of 
 whose life long since diverged, to be lost in the maelstrom of a busy and 
 changing world, or merged into the ocean of eternity. Much of the biograph- 
 ical material has been culled from informal, personal correspondence. The 
 reader will appreciate the difficulty and the delicacy of selecting from what was 
 charmingly epistolary, that which was adaptable to these condensed sketches. 
 There have been tributes from sons who have written us of beloved and ven- 
 erated mothers, whose well-equipped lives have left their impress on their 
 families — men who write from their law-offices and counting-rooms in New 
 York and other leading cities to honor the name of Emma Willard whom they 
 reverence as the ruling factor for good in the careers of their now sainted 
 mothers, sisters or wives. 
 
 Of the many pupils who have been connected with Troy Seminary, compar- 
 atively few pursued there the entire prescribed course of study, the majority 
 entering from other schools for the closing one or two years. Though a 
 complete graduating course of study was early established in the Seminary, 
 
PREFACE. 5 
 
 diplomas were not awarded until 1843 ; and no record can now be found of 
 the graduates previous to that date. Lists have been kept of all who have 
 taken diplomas since 1 843 ; though there is no record of those who have 
 graduated with a "certificate." But the aim of this book reaches beyond mere 
 chronology and statistics. 
 
 We gratefully acknowledge valuable information gleaned from the letters 
 of Mr. William Lee, of Marysville, Ohio, concerning the early life of Madame 
 Willard, as well as the methods employed in subsequent years in Troy Seminary. 
 Mr. Lee was the youngest child of Mary Hart — an older sister of Emma (Hart) 
 Willard, and the eldest daughter of the second marriage of Samuel Hart — of 
 whom her son writes one hundred and twenty years after her birth, ' ' As the 
 eldest of the second set of children, she naturally became her mother's helper 
 in the care of the younger children (of whom Emma Willard and Almira 
 Lincoln-Phelps were the two youngest), which interfered with her education. 
 Then she became the wife of a farmer at eighteen. * * * Leading a life 
 somewhat isolated, as farmers do, her advantages for improvement outside of 
 herself were very much restricted ; but in her natural intellectual endowments 
 she was confessedly equal to any of her sisters." 
 
 During ten consecutive years from 1827 Mr. Lee's home was in the Semi- 
 nary, where he filled the position of accountant. In 1837 ^^ married Miss Har- 
 riet C. Von Buskirk (one of Mrs. Williard's teachers), and went elsewhere, but 
 in 1842 resumed his place for two or three years in the business office of the 
 Seminary. The home of his later life was in Marysville, Ohio, where he died 
 in 1897. His remarkable power of memory made him a most interesting and 
 authentic contributor to these reminiscences of Mrs. Emma Willard. 
 
 A few names appear in this book of individuals whose school history ante- 
 dates that of Troy Seminary, pupils of Mrs. Willard's School in Middlebury. 
 Their daughters and granddaughters became Troy pupils, thus establishing a 
 succession that reached down to the expiration of the Willard dynasty in 1872. 
 
 A number of names are here recorded whose fragmentary data, received too 
 late for amplification by the Committee, may serve as clues to further informa- 
 tion of some who have passed away, or to the probable present address of the 
 living. 
 
 Many hindrances have delayed this work beyond the original purpose of 
 the Association. That it is far from perfect, no one is more painfully conscious 
 than the Publishing Committee, which now submits the fruit of its protracted 
 labor, while it humbly prays that all its faults may " lie lightly on it." 
 
 The coat of arms which is on the cover of this book was conferred, in 1327, 
 by King Edward HI. of England, on an ancestor of the Willards.

 CHAPTER II. 
 
 Retirement from Middlebury Academy. — Marriage and subsequent domestic life. — Removal of the 
 school to Waterford, N. Y. Strenuous but futile efforts of Dr. and Mrs. Willard to secure 
 aid from the N. V. Legislature in founding an institution to be managed and perpetuated 
 by a Board of Trustees. 
 
 Two happy and earnest years ended her connection with the Academy, 
 for in 1809 she became the wife of Dr. John Willard, of Middlebury, a man of 
 wealth and social position, and ranking high in his profession. 
 
 Although twenty-eight years her senior, nowhere in the annals of biography 
 shall we find record of a happier married life than theirs. From personal 
 letters which have been preserved one learns of the intimate union of heart 
 and soul which consecrated this marriage. 
 
 It is easy to evolve the fair picture of the enthusiastic young wife studying 
 to qualify herself to be the companion of the wise and good man who had 
 enthroned her in his affections. She delves into his medical library, she unravels 
 the mysteries of Physiology, she takes up the study of Geometry, and comes 
 by successive steps to Locke's " Essay Concerning Human Understanding." 
 Her husband encouraged her pursuits and took pride in her achievements. 
 It would be unjust to imply that the early married years of the young wife 
 were engrossed in intellectual pursuits. These were only the diversions of her 
 industrious life. 
 
 Her son was born in 1810, and the charge of the household and farm 
 devolved largely upon Mrs. Willard. Professional and political duties neces- 
 itated her husband's frequent absences, in one of which she writes, " the winter 
 apples are gathered, the cider is made — twenty-three barrels — the potatoes are 
 nearly all in ; and the buckwheat is harvested." 
 
 Following the war of 18 12 Dr. Willard became involved in financial dif- 
 ficulties, and we come upon another chapter in the eventful life of this pre- 
 destined woman. Nothing daunted by her husband's misfortunes, she found 
 in them an inspiration to yet higher and more self-denying endeavors. 
 
 She opened a boarding-school in her own home — a plan to which Dr. Wil- 
 lard yielded but a reluctant consent ; but once committed to it, he seconded 
 her brave efforts with his whole heart and soul. Referring to her husband's 
 co-operation, and his potent influence upon her own character, Mrs. Willard 
 wrote, " He entered into the full spirit of my views, with a disinterested zeal 
 for the sex whom, as he had come to believe, his own had unjustly neglected. 
 With generous affection, he in his later life sought my elevation, indifferent 
 to his own. Possessing on the whole an opinion of me more favorable than 
 any other human being ever will have, and thus encouraging me to dare much, 
 he yet knew my weaknesses, and fortified me against them." 
 
 Although in the opening of this school her ruling motive was to aid her 
 
EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 13 
 
 husband in meeting his liabilities, the enterprise proved a stepping-stone to a 
 broader field for herself, and from this time we find her enlisted in the plan of 
 higher education for women, which when consummated was appropriately 
 called the Magna Charta of the rights of women in matters of education. 
 
 One should not lose sight of the persevering industry which characterized 
 this epoch of Mrs. Willard's career. A model wife and mother, she still finds 
 opportunity to supplement her routine of school duties by her own researches in 
 science and literature, that she may unfold their mysteries to her classes. The 
 success of her Middlebury school is a matter of history. The fame of her 
 experiment spread abroad. Is it strange that her sanguine nature should reach 
 out to a permanent, well-equipped institution, in which her enlarged views could 
 be more fully realized — to be managed and perpetuated by a Board of Trustees ? 
 
 General Van Schoonhoven, a prominent citizen of Waterford, N. Y., a patron 
 of the Middlebury School, suggested, with others, Mrs. Willard's removal to 
 Waterford. 
 
 This seemed a favorable time for soliciting the cooperation of the New York 
 Legislature. Her valiant efforts had already engaged the attention and en- 
 dorsement of leading statesmen. Governor DeWitt Clinton gave to her plan 
 decided encouragement, while John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Combe 
 and Dr." Dick recognized and cordially indorsed her far-reaching purpose. 
 
 But/tthe strenuous efforts of Dr. and Mrs. Willard were futile in securing 
 Legislative aid. Although a bill passed the Senate granting her two thousand 
 dollars, it failed in the Lower House. 
 
 Bitter as was this disappointment to Mrs. Willard, (of which she once wrote, 
 " Could I have died a martyr to the cause and thus have secured its success, I 
 should have blessed the fagot and hugged the stake,") it in no degree lessened 
 her ardor for the enterprise to which she had devoted her life.

 CHAPTER III. 
 
 The school removed to Troy. — Early years of Troy Female Seminary. — Death of Dr. Willard. 
 
 After two years in Waterford, during which, with all the obstacles 
 encountered, the school lost none of its prestige, a new hope dawned. The citi- 
 zens of Troy, attracted by the success of the Waterford school, proposed to furnish 
 a building with suitable grounds for a large institution there, if Mrs. Willard 
 would consent to a removal. An extract from a letter written by Mrs. Willard 
 \at that crisis explains the conditions which influenced the decision of herself 
 and husband : " The lease of this house (in Waterford) expires in May. The 
 people in this town have not made provision for a suitable building ; the Legis- 
 lature has not furnished us the means of making one. The corporation and cit- 
 izens of Troy proposed to do for the promotion of my plan what we had peti- 
 tioned the Legislature to do for it here. 
 
 ".After giving the good people due notice of the state of affairs, and they 
 having failed to make us any eligible proposal, we have concluded to go to 
 Troy. The corporation of that city has raised four thousand dollars by tax. 
 Another fund has been raised by subscription. They are now erecting a brick 
 building, sixty feet by forty, three stories from the basement ; and the base- 
 ment, raised five feet above the ground, contains a dining-room as well as 
 kitchen and laundry." 
 
 And this brings us to the original " Troy Female Seminary ' ' — a plain struc- 
 ture, and of most limited proportions when compared with the architectural 
 group now towering upon its site. But that homely edifice was a very Temple 
 to the Minerva of her time, who in the fullness of physical and intellectual 
 vigor found herself at the age of thirty-four in the successful realization of her 
 long-cherished plan. 
 
 With accomplished professors in modern languages, music, and painting, 
 and a corps of able teachers in the higher English branches trained by Mrs. Wil- 
 lard in her Middlebury and Waterford schools, she gave herself heartily to her 
 work with renewed zeal and energy. A primary idea had been to educate teach- 
 ers in her own methods, to carry forward the work which she had begun. Prof. 
 Eaton, of the Rens. Polytechnic Institute, was accustomed to say that Mrs. Wil- 
 lard studied with him every branch that he was capable of teaching, and trained 
 a corps of teachers and scholars in her own school at the same time. As a 
 result of her efforts, many young women were qualified and sent from Troy 
 Seminary as teachers into the Western and Southern States. Some even found 
 their field of labor in Bogotd, South America. 
 
 These prospective teachers (if unable to meet current expenses), were 
 received by Mrs. Willard and furnished with board and tuition, books and 
 stationery, and even clothing, if need be, all to be paid for from their future 
 
EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 15 
 
 salaries. It was a part of her benevolent plan to secure for them desirable and 
 remunerative situations. All this is evidence not only of her peculiar sympathy 
 with, and interest in her young countrywomen, but of the sincerity of her aims 
 in developing throughout the Union an ambition for advanced education. It is 
 recorded in evidence of Mrs. Willard's far-reaching influence, that more than 
 two hundred schools based upon Troy Seminary methods can now be reckoned 
 as the fruit of her pioneer work. At least half of that number are in the South- 
 ern States. Public schools were not established in the South in the first years of 
 Mrs. Willard's school in Troy. 
 
 The children of Southern families were taught in small private schools upon 
 the plantation, or by governesses, Troy Seminary supplying the larger propor- 
 tion of teachers. It is a matter of history that before the war Southern women 
 were notably well educated. They aimed at high intellectual and social stand- 
 ards. In many families the daughters read with their brothers from Horace 
 and Virgil, and explored with them the realm of English literature. The 
 young women whom Emma Willard had educated carried her methods into 
 those Southern homes and helped to develope the noble womanhood of that 
 region. 
 
 Troy Seminary was from the beginning popular and prosperous. The 
 leading families of the country hastened to place their daughters under one 
 whose fame as a successful educator was already widespread. 
 
 In 1825 a heavy sorrow came to Mrs. Willard, in the death of her husband, 
 and the ending of a singularly happy and congenial wedded life. 
 
 Dr. Willard had been the sympathetic sharer of his wife's plans, her finan- 
 cial manager and her intelligent adviser. But even under this bereavement, we 
 find her as ever superior to circumstances ; and with a combination of qualities 
 and capabilities rarely united in one individual, she succeeded in making her- 
 self the power and main-spring of the then leading American school. 
 
 She had no models from which to copy. During the fifteen years of her 
 teaching previous to her advent as Principal of Troy Female Seminary, she 
 was gradually evolving the plan of her historic school through a conscientious 
 testing of the powers and needs of the young minds committed to her care, and 
 the results of her original measures. 
 
 To emphasize the fact that Troy Seminary antedated all other institutions 
 of its class, and that Mrs. Willard is entitled to be named the pioneer in secur- 
 ing advanced education to women, it should be remembered that even Mt. 
 Holyoke Seminary, under Mary Lyon of honored memory, which in the present 
 day we are apt to refer to as one of the earliest schools whose curriculum 
 broadened the mental horizon of young women, was not founded until 1837, 
 sixteen years after the successful establishment of the school in Troy.

 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 Literary work of Mrs. Willard. — Reception of Gen. La Fayette by Mrs. Willard at Troy Seminary, 
 on the occasion of his visit to the United States in 1824. — Her first visit to Europe, in iSjo. — 
 Increasing popularity and prosperity of the School. 
 
 The text books of Troy Seminary from 1822 were Newman's Rhetoric, 
 Hedge's Logic, Paley's Moral Philosophy, and Dugald Stewart's Intellectual 
 Philosophy, in the literary and philosophical course ; in Mathematics, Day's 
 Algebra, Legendre's Geometry— soon after superseded by Davies' Algebra and 
 Davies' Legendre ; Comstock's Philosophy, Enfield's Philosophy, and Adams' 
 Latin Grammar ; the French and Spanish languages being introduced a little 
 later with the most approved text-books. 
 
 The indefatigable industry of Mrs. Willard has already been referred to. 
 Finding herself still restricted by inadequate text-books, she resolved to make her 
 own. In this labor she was ably assisted by her younger sister, Mrs. Almira 
 (Hart) Lincoln, whom in 1824 she had associated with herself in her educational 
 work, as Vice-Principal of Troy Seminary. 
 
 It was in 1822 that she collaborated with William Chauncey Woodbridge in 
 preparing " Woodbridge's and Willard 's Geography," which continued to be 
 used until superseded by Olney's and Mitchell's Geographies. 
 
 In 1828 her " Republic of America" appeared, of which Daniel Webster 
 wrote to the author, " I keep it near me as a book of reference, accurate in facts 
 and dates." 
 
 " Willard's Universal History " was her next contribution. In the prepara- 
 tion of this work she received valuable aid from a former pupil, Miranda Aldis, 
 who later became Mrs. Daniel Kellogg, of Bellows Falls, Vt. 
 
 Following the " Universal History " was her ' ' Historical Guide," in connec- 
 tion with her notable " Temple of Time," embodying an ingenious and original 
 method of studying History, highly approved and extensively adopted by teach- 
 ers of that time. In 1849 there appeared from her pen a "Treatise on the 
 Motive Powers which produce the Circulation of the Blood." 
 
 Her theory on this subject was widely discussed in this country and in 
 Europe. A London critic in reviewing the Treatise said, " We have here an 
 instance of a woman undertaking to discuss a subject that has perplexed and 
 bafHed the ingenuity of the most distinguished anatomists and physiologists 
 from Harvey down to Paxton, and, what is more remarkable, so acquitting 
 herself as to show that she apprehended as well as the best of them the difficul- 
 ties which beset the inquiry, perceived as quickly as they did the errors and 
 incongruities of previous writers, and lastly propounded an hypothesis to account 
 for the circulation of the blood and the heart action, eminently entitled to the 
 serious attention and examination of all who take an interest in physiological 
 science." 
 
EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 17 
 
 The visit of Gen. La Fayette to the United States in 1824 furnished an 
 occasion for a brilliant function at Troy Seminary, and was the means of estab- 
 lishing cordial relations between Mrs. Willard and leading schools in France. 
 Early pupils of the Seminary have recorded the pageant at which they proudly 
 assisted, and in numerous families are still cherished as precious souvenirs of 
 the occasion the satin badges worn by mothers or grandmothers who paid homage 
 to LaFayette. A bower of evergreens was stretched across to the Park adjacent 
 to the Seminary. Mrs. Willard, attended by her teachers, met the General at 
 the north gate, while the scholars followed in line, carrying banners and singing 
 an ode which she had written for the occasion. The girls were dressed in white 
 frocks and blue sashes, each wearing a white satin badge, on which was printed 
 the face of the General. 
 
 While ardent patriotism joined to an intensely sympathetic nature found 
 a natural outlet in this spectacular demonstration, perhaps a more impelling 
 influence was Mrs. Willard's exultant pride in her school, than which at that 
 time no other in the world offered so wide an intellectual reach to young 
 women. That the distinguished guest was impressed with the dignity and 
 motive of the occasion was evidenced by subsequent complimentary and friendly 
 letters to his Trojan hostess, and by the courtesies and unusual facilities which 
 were extended to her when a few years later she visited France. 
 
 A succession of arduous and prosperous years having placed the institution 
 upon an assured basis, we find the zealous founder indulging in a respite from 
 her labors. 
 
 In 1830 she embarked with her son for Europe, leaving her sister, Mrs. 
 Almira Lincoln, who for several years had filled the chair, of Vice-Principal of 
 the Seminary, in charge of the school, supported by an efficient corps of faithful 
 teachers. 
 
 Miss Nancy Hinsdale, a cousin of Mrs. Willard, was installed as matron of 
 the household. 
 
 One cannot fail to note in all of Mrs. Willard's plans, how her love of family 
 prompted her to share with her kinsfolk the benefits of her prosperity, while 
 the many nieces and grand-nieces who found a home in the Seminary and the 
 full equipment of a liberal education, bear grateful witness to her all-embracing 
 benevolence. 
 
 At the period of Mrs. Willard's visit to Europe foreign travel was a rarer 
 indulgence than now. The Atlantic was not then a continually travelled thor- 
 oughfare. It would be interesting to note, did space permit, the flattering inci- 
 dents of this visit to a foreign country, which made it a triumphal journey for 
 this American woman abroad, who through years of patient study and unfailing 
 courage, firm in her own ennobling purpose, had lifted the standard of an intel- 
 ligent and educated womanhood. Through the influence of La Fayette she 
 enjoyed many privileges. She is presented at court and attends the court balls. 
 As a representative American woman she becomes well acquainted with distin- 
 
1 8 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 guished Americans living abroad. She visits the schools of France under the 
 patronage of the government, and secures the lasting friendship of Madame 
 Belloc, through whose kind offices many favors were accorded her. London 
 and Glasgow were alike tributary in rare and valued opportunities. It is safe 
 to assume that no one ever returned from a year of foreign travel with fuller 
 compensation. Perhaps nothing more accentuated the benefits of this experi- 
 ence than Madame Willard's fine bearing and polished manners. Few women 
 were ever more conspicuously qualified to marshal the young women of the 
 country, and furnish to them a model of gracious and graceful courteousness. 
 A portrait of Mrs. Willard now hanging in " Russell Sage Hall " of the Emma 
 Willard School, painted by Mr. A. D. Moore, a Troy artist, is regarded by those 
 who recall her in her prime as a faithful representation of her fine presence 
 during the fifties. 
 
 It was on the return voyage from her first visit to Europe, that Mrs. Willard 
 wrote the well-known hymn, " Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep." 
 
 The Duke of Choiseul, a fellow-passenger, composed the music. The mel- 
 ody to which it is now sung was arranged by Joseph P. Knight, an English- 
 man. Except in this poem, which from the first found its place among the 
 soul-stirring inspirations of the country, Mrs. Willard did not in any conspicuous 
 degree cultivate the Muses. 
 
 The years which followed her return may be designated as the harvest- 
 time of Troy Seminary. The school had prospered under the faithful guardian- 
 ship of Mrs. Lincoln and Miss Hinsdale. The added prestige of Mrs. Willard's 
 now well-established foreign associations, the art treasures from the old world, 
 (rarer then than now in the United States) with which she had enriched the 
 institution, together with her own recruited strength and renewed zeal, all gave 
 fresh impetus and mastery to her infiuence. 
 
 Her phenomenal success was not due to the superiority of her original 
 talent. Her acquirements and accomplishments were rather the result of un- 
 flagging industry and tireless study. She was not without foibles and weak- 
 nesses, but they were overruled by her noble and philanthropic purposes. She 
 employed a corps of teachers larger than most college Faculties, while the school 
 numbered a hundred boarders and two hundred day scholars. 
 
 Many of her patrons were from the Southern States, throughout which 
 section the seed of her influence had been scattered by the governesses and 
 teachers sent out by her at an earlier date. 
 
 It should be noted that Mrs. Willard's policy had been to conduct her school 
 so that it should not be claimed by any one religious sect or political party. 
 Neither was it maintained especially for the rich. Her aim was to supplement 
 its literary instruction by promulgating views of life adapted to all relations 
 and conditions. 
 
 While Troy Seminary was eminently religious in its tendency, it was with- 
 out denominational designation. Religious instruction was held in high value. 
 
EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPIL. 19 
 
 Who of the old Troy pupils but recalls the Sunday afternoons of Bible study, 
 successively conducted by Madame Willard, Mrs. Hinsdale, and Mrs. John 
 Willard ! The Willard family worshipped in the Episcopal church, but no spirit 
 of proselytism was ever brought to bear upon the pupils. 
 
 The record of Mrs. Willard's zealous efforts in behalf of Greece in 1831, for 
 establishing a girls' school in Athens, in furtherance of Dr. Samuel G. Howe's 
 philanthropic purpose, and her efficient co-operation in the cause of foreign 
 missions, are in evidence of the broad Christian benevolence that permeated 
 her nature. 
 
 The proceeds of her published " Journal and Letters from France and Great 
 Britain," were devoted to the founding of a girls' school in Athens — the first, 
 and for many years the only school for girls in that part of the world. In this 
 labor of love she was joined by her sister, Mrs. Lincoln-Phelps, the poetess 
 Mrs. Sigourney, and others. The school was in charge of Mrs. Frances M. 
 Hill, whose husband was the rector of one of the churches. 
 
 The pupils came not only from all parts of Greece, but from many of the 
 adjacent countries. Teachers were trained there and sent north and south, 
 after the methods of Troy Seminary. The good seed thus sown and the 
 uplifting influence of this school have been recognized and acknowledged 
 by King George a half centuryUater. 
 
 Her political sentiments, unswervingly loyal, in no degree antagonized her 
 Southern patrons or interrupted the cordial relations of long standing. In a 
 miscellaneous correspondence which it has been our privilege to review, we 
 come upon many a message of faithful and grateful affection from Southern 
 friends, even during those dark days in our national history when the civil 
 war threatened to make ours a divided country, and Northern schools were 
 unavailable for Southern pupils. 
 
 There was a peculiar nearness in Mrs. Willard's relations with her pupils. 
 While her courtly dignity and somewhat studied manner would seem incompati- 
 ble with familiar friendships, it is nevertheless true that she won the affection 
 of her school family in a remarkable degree. Nor did she lose sight of her girls 
 after they had returned to their homes. She followed them with motherly 
 interest and counsel into the years of their maturing womanhood, thus consti- 
 tuting herself the apostle of that unremitting study and culture by which only 
 can woman hope to rise to her highest possibilities. 
 
 The rare charm of personal sympathy is recognized in much of the testi- 
 mony furnished by Emma Willard's early pupils which is to be found in the 
 records which follow. Some time-stained faded leaves of cherished " old letters " 
 bearing the clearly written signature of " Emma Willard," are still preaching their 
 potent sermons in American homes. It was a favorite pastime for Mrs. Willard 
 to visit her girls as they married and settled in new homes, often journeying in 
 a carriage by easy stages, from one home to another, accompanied by a favorite 
 niece or some other congenial companion. It is needless to add that on this 
 circuit of summer visits, she was a distinguished and honored guest. 
 
EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 Mrs. Willard's retirement from active management of the Seminary. — Her son John H. Willard, 
 and wife, the latter having ably filled the chair of Vice- Principal for many years, assume control 
 of the school. — Madame Emma Willard' s relation to the State Normal School. 
 
 " We build the ladder by whicli we rise." Step by step, with dominant 
 purpose and unflagging industry, Mrs. Willard traveled toward the goal of 
 her ideal, until she stood before the world a recognized leader in the education 
 of the daughters of this goodly land. The fame of Troy Female Seminary 
 echoed through two continents, and the institution was justly regarded as the 
 grand achievement of her noble life. 
 
 The time had arrived when she might safely transfer to others the burden 
 of her responsibilities, and in 1838 she surrendered the management of the 
 school to her son, John H. Willard, and his wife, the latter having already ably 
 filled the chair of Vice-Principal for a period of years. 
 
 To insure a much needed rest, and with that human yearning for familiar 
 early associations that comes to all, as the cares and weariness of years oppress 
 us, she sought in her native town, Berlin, comparative seclusion and release 
 from the stress of a rigorous routine. But this change did not commit her to a 
 season of inactivity. Mrs. Willard could not remain idle. With her, rest was 
 not in quitting a busy career ; it was rather the fitting herself to a new sphere. 
 
 Finding herself quickly invigorated among her native hills, inspirited by 
 the flattering and friendly appreciation of Berlin citizens who had followed her 
 in her successful and notably brilliant career since the days of her girlhood in 
 the Worthington farmhouse, she responded affirmatively to their request that 
 she assume for the year the duties of Town School Superintendent. 
 
 This step marks an important epoch — a milestone as it were — from which 
 she pushed on, with the ever broadening purpose of the greatest good to the 
 greatest number. 
 
 In her study of the Berlin common schools, she recognized the defects of 
 their then restricted methods. With her wonted zeal she set herself to stirring 
 up teachers, Common Councils and Legislators, thereby creating an enthusiasm 
 which materially aided the cause of the Normal School, now so potent through- 
 out the country. 
 
 Her zealous co-worker in this aim was Dr. Henry Barnard, at that time the 
 State Superintendent of Public Schools in Connecticut. Dr. Barnard has long 
 been recognized as the great educational diplomat of this country, and though, 
 by reason of his advanced age, now retired from active service, is still honored 
 by a grateful public for his efiicient labors in the earlier decades. 
 
 The impression has widely obtained that the Normal School owes its origin 
 to Mrs. Willard. This, however, is erroneous. Authoritative history of that

 institution records the fact that the first suggestion of such a school in the 
 United States came from Prof.- Denison Olmstead of New Haven, in 1816. As 
 early as 1789 a writer for the " Massachusetts Magazine " proposed to abolish the 
 town Grammar School, and establish a public Grammar School in each county, 
 " to fit young gentlemen for college and school-keeping." 
 
 In 1825 Gov. De Witt Clinton, in his message to the Legislature of New 
 York, recommended a " Seminary for Teachers." Foremost among the pioneers 
 who actively labored for this object was James G. Carter, who wrote a series of 
 newspaper articles on popular education, and who in 1827 presented a memorial 
 to the Massachusetts Legislature for aid to establish a seminary for teachers. 
 Others who were interested and helpful in carrying out the idea were Thomas 
 H. Gallaudet, the Instructor of the Deaf and Dumb, William Alcott, the eccen- 
 tric physician and educator, and, strongest of all, Horace Mann, who came into 
 the work in 1837 and gave himself body and soul to the enterprise of establish- 
 ing a Normal School. 
 
 The first school organized in this country with the avowed purpose of 
 instructing those who wished to teach was located in Concord, Vt., in 1823. 
 The Rev. Sarauel Reed Hall was its founder, and his lectures on School-keeping 
 and School Government were published and widely circulated. This " Model 
 School " continued until 1830, when the Rev. Mr. Hall was called to take charge 
 of the first School for Teachers in Massachusetts, established by the Trustees of 
 Phillips Academy, of Andover. It continued until 1842 under his care, a genu- 
 ine Normal School, but not under State patronage. 
 
 The first regular Normal School which was adopted and controlled by the 
 State was the one now established in Framingham, Mass. It was first opened 
 in Lexington, Mass., in 1839, "with an address by Gov. Edward Everett. 
 
 In 1838 Mr. Edmund Dwight, one of the merchant princes of Boston, offered 
 to give the State $10,000 towards a building, on condition that the Legislature 
 would grant an equal amount. This was done. Under the admirable manage- 
 ment of its first principal, the Rev. Cyrus Pierce, a larger building became 
 necessary, and another location was chosen in West Newton, Mass. 
 
 It was at this crisis that Horace Mann proved himself a public benefactor. 
 The sum of $1,500 was needed to meet an exigency, and the story of how he 
 raised the money is significant of the times and their zealous workers. 
 
 If the money were not forthcoming, the school must go down. One day 
 Mr. Mann rushed into the ofiice of Hon. Josiah Quincy, Jr., exclaiming, " Quincy, 
 do you know of any one who wants the highest seat in heaven ? It can be 
 bought for $1,500." 
 
 Mr. Quincy immediately signed a check for the desired amount, and then 
 Mr. Mann sold his own library and stock to raise $1,500 more with which to 
 furnish the enlarged school. 
 
 The second principal was Samuel J. May, who was, like Cyrus Pierce, eaf- 
 nestly devoted to the service of mankind. He was in charge from 1842 to 1844, 
 when Mr. Pierce, with reestablished health, resumed the management. The 
 
2 2 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 final change of location was in 1845, 'when the school was removed to Framing- 
 ham, and it was at this time that the legislature decreed that the schools hitherto 
 known as " Normal Schools " should be called "State Normal Schools." 
 
 The venerable Dr. Henry Barnard, now living quietly at his home in Hart- 
 ford, Conn., through earnest labor and much financial sacrifice in the cause 
 of education, has been one of the most conspicuous promoters of the Normal 
 School. It was through his interest in matters of education and reform while 
 a member of the Connecticut Legislature that an " Act to Provide for the better 
 Supervision of Schools " became a law. He served as State Superintendent of 
 Education in Connecticut from 1838 to 1842, and it was at this period that 
 he found in Mrs. Willard (then sojourning in Connecticut) a sympathizing and 
 efficient co-worker. Subsequently he was appointed State Superintendent of 
 Rhode Island, which State has recently honored him by placing his bust in its 
 new Memorial School Building. 
 
 While it is true that the methods of Mrs. Willard in the conduct of her 
 school and the educating of teachers embodied the true spirit of the Normal 
 Institution, and formed one of the prime agencies which evolved it, it was not 
 until about 1840 that she became publicly identified with the efforts in that 
 direction. 
 
 In the equipment of Troy Seminary in 1822 she had realized the need of 
 efficient teachers. When in 1838 she withdrew from the immediate supervision 
 of Troy Seminary, the Normal School became one of her chief interests, while 
 she lent her influence to the encouragement of young women to adopt teach- 
 ing as their profession. 
 
 Mrs. Willard was by no means alone in this mission to her younger sisters. 
 The leaven of the benevolent purpose of early and far-seeing educators was 
 working, and had enlisted the zealous cooperation of other philanthropic women, 
 notably Miss Catharine Beecher, of Hartford, Conn., who was for many years 
 the advocate and promoter of the Normal School.

 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 JWrs. Willard's return to Troy. — Hospitable house, corner of Secottd and Ferry Streets.— Continued 
 interest in the School and its changing family. — Declining years. — With increasing feeble- 
 ness she became again a-a inmate of her son's family in the Seminary. — Death of Mrs. Emma 
 Willard in iS'/o. 
 
 Emerging in 1844 from her temporary retirement in Connecticut, where 
 she had been residing for a few years, she established her home within the 
 precincts of the old Seminary grounds, in a detached house (a well-kept flower 
 garden lying between them) on the corner of Second and Ferry Streets. 
 
 Many a matron and grandmother of to-day will recall the cheerful interior 
 of that refined and hospitable home. It was a proud moment for the fortunate 
 girl of Troy Seminary when, as often happened, she was invited to share the 
 delights of the house beyond the garden. 
 
 " I wonder," writes one in pleasant reminiscence, " who is the happy posses- 
 sor of that Raphael that hung over the mantel in Mrs. Emma's parlor, that I 
 used to gaze upon and dream over, while the wafSes to which we had been 
 invited were served." 
 
 Mrs. Willard seemed always to have in her heart a place for the numerous 
 and changing family in the Seminary, the youthful members of which she was 
 accustomed to call her "grand-daughters." Her word of commendation or 
 sympathy often marked a red-letter day for some timid, home-sick maiden, 
 whom her quick eye had noted and her timely caress had comforted. 
 
 As we write there comes to us a vision of a woman of proud bearing, who 
 in her trailing gown of black velvet or satin, set off by the rich, soft, creamy 
 laces of her head-dress, her neck-ruff, and her hand-ruffles, was to our youth- 
 ful fancy the very embodiment of courtly grace and elegance, and the oracle 
 of all knowledge. It is significant to recall that this woman of wisdom, " this 
 stately dame of high degree," was the heroine of the Berlin farm-house, 
 whose first lessons were conned by the fireside of the homely kitchen, and 
 who studied the stars from the isolated horse-block of the unfrequented road- 
 side. 
 
 In the tranquil retirement of her Troy home, where she passed her declin- 
 ing years, Mrs. Willard seems to have held a patriarchal sway. 
 
 Her immediate household embraced successively one or more of her numer- 
 ous nieces, while her close proximity to the Seminary family kept her in touch 
 with its daily life and routine. 
 
 She continued to be a central figure in the social gatherings of the school, 
 where her venerable presence was like a benediction ; but as the feebleness 
 of years increased, she became again an inmate of her son's family in the Semi- 
 nary. 
 
24 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 It was fitting that her days should end in the spot hallowed by the memo- 
 ries of her struggles and achievements ; and here, at the ripe age of eighty-three 
 years, after more than half a century of conscientious and devoted labor, she 
 entered into rest, April isth, 1870. 
 
 Of this event the venerable Bishop Huntington said, " What a remarkable 
 life this was that is now ended ! How far and into how many different regions 
 the lines of elevating and beneficent influence run out from it ! * * * What a 
 monument she has left ! threefold — in the institution she founded, in the works 
 she committed to the press, and in the hearts and characters of her great hosts 
 of pupils !" 
 
 Her serene faith and unfaltering purpose were eloquently commended by 
 the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew in his address at the dedication of " Russell Sage 
 Hall " of the " Emma Willard School " in 1895. 
 
 " She was an apostle — an evangel of the higher education of women. She 
 had the courage to undertake the task, and the genius to secure its success. 
 When there was naught but ridicule and denunciation for an enterprise which it 
 was predicted would break up the family and destroy the fireside, she set out to 
 educate the girls who should dignify, adorn, and elevate the home. She strug- 
 gled for a quarter of a century before her efforts received recognition, and the 
 country was aroused to the importance of her mission, and the sentiments she 
 propagated had materialized into those great seminaries for women which are 
 now the ornament and the hope of the period. Her influence did not stop here. 
 It crossed the ocean ; it broke down the prejudices and the conditions of the 
 most conservative of nations; it created Girton and Newnham Colleges under 
 the shadows of Oxford and Cambridge, and it earned for them and their students 
 equal advantages in the curriculums of these historic seats of learning."

 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 Mrs. Almira {Hart) Lincoln, sister of Mrs. Willard, and first Vice-Principal of Troy Female 
 
 Seminary , from 1824 to iSji. 
 
 Almira Hart was born in Berlin, Conn., in 1793, the youngest daughter of 
 Samuel and Lydia (Hinsdale) Hart. 
 
 She was six and one-half years younger than her sister Emma. Like her, 
 she early manifested unusual love of study, with a corresponding industry and 
 perseverance. She soon mastered the ordinary sciences, fitting herself to be an 
 efficient co-worker with Mrs. Willard, in whose aims and ambitions she fully 
 sympathized. 
 
 Her early education was guided by her sister. When nineteen years old 
 she taught in her father's house in Berlin ; later she was in charge of an Acad- 
 emy in Sandy Hill, N. Y. 
 
 In 1 8 17 she married Simeon Lincoln, editor of "The Connecticut Mirror," 
 at Hartford. He died in 1823, leaving his wife at the age of thirty with two 
 little daughters under six years, and the care of two perplexing estates, her 
 husband's and her father's. She met the exigencies of her situation bravely. 
 Besides her numerous duties and responsibilities, she found time to study Latin 
 and Greek, and to qualify herself for teaching drawing and painting. 
 
 During her widowhood she was associated with her sister, Mrs. Emma 
 Willard, in the management of Troy Seminary, where she filled the chair of 
 Vice- Principal for seven years. In 1831 she became the second wife of Judge 
 John Phelps, of Guilford, Vt., and a most acceptable mother to his numerous 
 family of sons and daughters. In 1838 she took charge of a seminary in West 
 Chester, Pa., and afterwards taught in Rahway, N. J. In 1841, on invitation of 
 the Bishop of Maryland, she with her husband conducted the Patapsco Institute 
 (a dioscesan school for girls at EUicott's Mills, Md.), which school attained, 
 under their management, a high reputation. 
 
 Judge Phelps died in 1847. Mrs. Phelps continued the school for eight 
 years, assisted by her elder daughter, Jane Porter Lincoln. After her daugh- 
 ter's death she retired, spending her remaining days in Baltimore. 
 
 Mrs. Phelps was an industrious writer, chiefly in an educational line. She 
 published "Lincoln's Botany" in 1829, "Botany for Beginners" in 1830, "Dic- 
 tionary of Chemistry "in 1830, "Geology for Beginners "in 1832, "Chemistry 
 for Beginners "in 1834, "Natural Philosophy and Lectures on Chemistry "in 
 1837. She published a story in 1833 entitled " Caroline Westerly," and another 
 in 1850 called " Ida Norman." " Hours with my Pupils " was issued in 1869. 
 
 Mrs. Almira (Hart) Lincoln Phelps died in Baltimore in 1884. Her eldest 
 daughter, Mrs. Emma Willard O'Brien, resides in Philadelphia.

 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 Miss Nancy Hinsdale, Second Vice-Principal of Troy Seminary. 
 
 Nancy Hinsdale was the daughter of Rev. Theodore Hinsdale, of Pitts- 
 field, Mass. 
 
 She was a cousin of Mrs. Emma Willard, whose mother was a sister of Miss 
 Hinsdale's father. He was a distinguished divine of the Congregational church, 
 of unusual mental ability, and much given to theological disputations. His 
 daughter Nancy inherited both the metaphysical and religious habits of thought 
 of her father. 
 
 She conducted for some years a flourishing Academy in Pittsfield. Her 
 connection with Troy Seminary dates from 1830, when she was invited by Mrs. 
 Willard to preside as matron over the school during her absence in Europe. 
 
 From that time she remained a useful, happy and honored member of the 
 Seminary family, with the title of Vice-Principal. 
 
 She will be remembered as one of the literary critics of the Composition 
 Classes, the presiding officer of the Wednesday morning " Sewing Circles," 
 (where the needs of " Madame Feller's Mission " were urged, and the girls made 
 sheets and pillow-cases of heavy unbleached cotton to send to it,) and also one 
 of the corps of Bible readers who guided the Sunday afternoon studies of the 
 Scriptures. 
 
 Miss Hinsdale died in 1857, at the age of eighty-two years. 
 
 Her portrait, painted for Mr. John Willard, is now in the possession of the 
 Historical Society of Pittsfield, Mass. 
 
EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 27 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. John H. Willard succeed to the management of Troy Female Seminary in zSjS. 
 
 The annals of Mrs. Emma Willard's life afford no more signal proof of her 
 discernment than her ultimate surrender of the charge of Troy Seminary to 
 her son John and his wife, Sarah Lucretia (Hudson) Willard ; nor need we 
 seek other endorsement of their fitness for the responsible position than her 
 unquestioning confidence in their ability to carry forward the work to which her 
 best years had been given. 
 
 It has been justly said that the most rewarding product of Mrs. Emma 
 Willard's mission was that of her daughter-in-law, who, with her sister, Miss 
 Theodosia Hudson, filled a conspicuous place in the history of her school, from 
 its early years until its close as a boarding school in 1872. 
 
 The records of Troy Female Seminary warrant the assertion that the school 
 rose to the zenith of its prosperity during the fifties, under Mrs. Sarah Lucretia 
 Willard as Principal, and Miss Hudson as Vice-Principal ; but the fact must be 
 borne in mind that both Mrs. Willard and her sister, with their superior corps of 
 teachers, were all qualified for their high degree under the faithful supervision 
 and by the far-reaching methods of the founder of the school. 
 
 The father of Sarah and Theodosia Hudson was a native of England. He 
 came from New Orleans to Waterford, N. Y., where the daughters were born 
 and where he died, leaving his young family in adverse circumstances. The 
 widowed mother of four young children heroically exerted herself for their 
 maintenance and education, placing the two elder daughters in Mrs. Willard's 
 school in Waterford in 1820 — at which time Sarah Lucretia was eleven years of 
 age. 
 
 Soon after, Mrs. Hudson, with her family, took up her residence in Troy, 
 where Sarah and Theodosia attended the school of Miss Hall, until the subse- 
 quent opening of Troy Seminary, when they again became Mrs. Willard's pupils, 
 who saw in these young girls the intellectual promise which their later years 
 fulfilled, and with generous enthusiasm assumed the responsibility of their 
 education, ultimately adopting Lucretia as her daughter. So rapidly did her 
 young protegee progress under the advantages thus afforded, that at sixteen 
 she was a valued teacher in the Seminary, and at twenty-one filled the place of 
 second Vice-Principal, under Mrs. Almira Hart Lincoln, during Mrs. Emma 
 Willard's visit to Europe in 1830. 
 
 John H. Willard, only child of Dr. and Mrs. Willard, was born in Middle- 
 bury, Vt., in 1810. From 1822 to 1824 he was at school in Old Hadley, Mass., 
 (in the home of Bishop Huntington's father); next in Birmingham, Vt.; and in 
 1826 was entered at West Point, where he continued until 1828. In 1829 he 
 entered Trinity (then called Washington) College, Hartford, Conn., but left in 
 
28 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 1 830 to accompany his mother to Europe. On his return to this country he stud- 
 ied medicine with Dr. Morris, in Bennington, Vt. 
 
 It was at this period that he became the successful suitor of Sarah Lucretia 
 Hudson, whom he married in 1834. In 1838 Mr. and Mrs. John Willard suc- 
 ceeded to the management of Troy Female Seminary, conducting its affairs with 
 eminent success. Mr. Willard occupied himself with a general oversight of the 
 large household, and especially with the financial interests of this now prosper- 
 ous institution. In the ofiice of the Seminary there was kept a full supply of 
 text-books and music required by the scholars. 
 
 In this department Mr. Willard was assisted by Mr. William Lee, a son of 
 an elder brother of Mrs. Emma Willard. Mr. Willard proved himself a saga- 
 cious and prudent manager of affairs, and to his excellent judgment, no less 
 than to the intellectual status of the school, is to be ascribed its prosperity in 
 the period referred to. 
 
 For nearly fifty years he was practically the business director of the Semi- 
 nary, and his able, honorable, and liberal manhood contributed largely to the 
 excellence and dignity of the institution which his mother had founded. 
 
 Nor were his activities restricted to the interests of the school. He was an 
 earnest and efficient worker, in the Christian Commission during the war, a lead- 
 ing member of the Episcopal church, and in corporate affairs an intelligent and 
 benevolent citizen. Without being lavish, he was one of the most generous of men. 
 
 Meanwhile Mrs. Willard consecrated herself, as it were, to the service of 
 the school whose opportunities had enriched her life, and in whose future she 
 hoped to realize her own progressive ideal. 
 
 The success of her endeavors finds evidence in the record of the many who 
 sought entrance to that home of rare privileges, and in the attestation of those 
 who now write in tender remembrance of this friend and benefactor. It is 
 touching to note, as we gather in the data furnished by the old-time pupils, the 
 affection that wells up for the beautiful and queenly woman who ruled them 
 royally, but with a persuasive kindness that won their loyalty and made her the 
 heroine of their grateful remembrance. 
 
 Not less than her scholarly attainments was her charming personality. 
 While she sought always to be the impartial judge, she was at the same time 
 the gentle counsellor and sympathizing friend. She could adapt herself to the 
 needs of the larger girls of her school family as an elder sister might have done, 
 while the younger members of the household found in her a sweet motherliness 
 that met their yearning and quickly banished home-sickness. 
 
 It was the harmony of her character that made her the matchless woman 
 that she was. Over and above all, Mrs. Willard exemplified an innate, heredi- 
 tary ladyhood. 
 
 Says one of her pupils : " Mrs. Willard has ever been my ideal of gracious, 
 perfect womanhood. She had the sweetest smile, the loveliest eyes I have ever 
 seen ; yet such was her dignity that her reproachful glance was sufficient repri- 
 mand for the most turbulent." 
 
I EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 29 
 
 < The vigorous intellect of Mrs. Willard delighted in the profundity of 
 : " Stewart's Philosophy " and " Butler's Analogy," which she patiently expounded 
 to the immature, questioning minds that were struggling with metaphysics. 
 There are clever women of to-day who will recall the class in English Litera- 
 ture over which Mrs. Willard presided, and to which they will trace their first 
 literary ambitions, 
 
 The religious training of her pupils was never lost sight of, but conducted 
 always in a spirit of broad and Christian intelligence. Taking the Bible for her 
 own rule of life, she invited and guided them to a reverent consideration of its 
 teachings. Those of us who were accustomed to gather about the long table in 
 the dining-room of the old Seminary for Sunday afternoon Scripture lessons, 
 must ever hold in grateful remembrance the teachings and the teacher of those 
 far-off days. Mrs. Willard's weekly lectures to the young ladies, and her daily 
 conversation, were marked by an elegance of diction that might have served 
 her in literary work, but aside from an occasional pamphlet on some special 
 theme she never appeared before the public as an author. It was as if she chose 
 rather to merge her identity into that of her school and family, and outside of 
 the Seminary home she committed herself to no official duties. 
 
 Appropos of those weekly lectures — they were not always scientific. They 
 were oftener the familiar, confidential talks of a motherly friend, whose omni- 
 present vigilance had noted many a short-coming, sins of omission and commis- 
 sion which could not pass unrebuked. A careless toilet, a disorderly room, 
 boisterous talking and laughing in the halls or on the street, rude manners at 
 table, each and all of these were deemed by Mrs. Willard fitting themes for 
 advice. At no time was she more impressive than when on Wednesday or 
 Saturday, after the morning classes, she entered the Examination and Lecture- 
 Room, where the assembled school awaited her. 
 
 She carried under her arm a book containing the week's record (to more 
 than one conscious delinquent it seemed the " Book of Fate "), and moving with 
 stately step to the arm-chair in front of her table, adjusted herself with slow 
 precision, that she might give her waiting audience an object-lesson in the art 
 of seating one's self gracefully. Nothing which helped to develop a delicate 
 and refined nature was deemed unimportant by her, and she sought in all ways 
 to supplement the culture of Christian home-training. 
 
 In order to rightly estimate the full equipment of Mrs. Willard for her 
 place, one must keep in mind the many claims which her varied relations to 
 others imposed. 
 
 Mrs, Emma Willard once wrote to a friend, " Mrs. John Willard, with her 
 five children, performs we/l the duties of the school." This was in 1844, and 
 it is known that through subsequent years of domestic cares incident to a 
 family of nine children, she was never less faithful to the interests of the Sem- 
 inary. 
 
 Her children were conscientiously trained in an atmosphere of love and 
 refinement. She was a tender and devoted wife, and the venerable mothers of 
 
30 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 both Mr. and Mrs. Willard were, in their declining years, the objects of her filial 
 and grateful duty. 
 
 A sad event in the history of the family, which can never be forgotten by 
 those who were in the Seminary in the summer of 1848, was the drowning 
 (while bathing in the river) of the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Willard, a lad of 
 eight or ten j^ears of age. This blow nearly cost the life of his mother, while it 
 furnished an unparalleled instance of her Spartan qualities. The Commence- 
 ment Exercises of the closing year were at hand, and Mrs. Willard having 
 rallied from the first shock of the tragedy, heroically held herself to the respon- 
 sibilities of her place as Principal, herself presiding on the occasion with a 
 tender, self -forgetting dignity that touched all hearts. The picture of that pale- 
 faced mother in her sombre mourning dress impressed itself indelibly upon the 
 memory of those who participated in the exercises of that occasion. 
 
 But a reaction came, when the silver cord of her intense nature seemed 
 loosening. During the year following this terrible bereavement her life hung, 
 as it were, upon a single thread, and for many months she was wholly unable to 
 respond to the duties of her office. 
 
 In this interim of Mrs. Willard's invalidism, her sister. Miss Theodosia 
 Hudson, Vice-Principal, assumed the charge of the Seminary, efficiently supple- 
 mented by a corps of thorougly qualified teachers. 
 
 After the year's respite Mrs. Willard once more returned to her labors 
 Happily the school had lost none of its prestige. The number of its pupils 
 increased, compelling enlarged accommodations. Masters in the Arts and 
 Sciences were employed, lectures from distinguished scholars were frequent, 
 while the mechanical apparatus of the Seminary was for those times generously 
 equipped. 
 
 And so passed many prosperous years in which Mr. and Mrs. Willard nobly 
 discharged the trust which Mrs. Emma Willard had committed to them.

 CHAPTER. X. 
 
 31 
 
 Retirement of Mr. and Mrs. Willard. — Incidents of the closing year of their administration. — Death 
 
 of Mr. and Mrs. Willard. 
 
 Already the fruits of Troy Seminary's pioneer efforts in the educational 
 field were apparent. Numerous schools conducted on similar methods were 
 being established throughout the country, and the time came when Mr. and 
 Mrs. Willard recognized the fact, that to maintain the preeminence of their 
 beloved institution and fit it to cope with younger, vigorous competitors, would 
 lay upon them a burden for which, in their increasing years and waning 
 strength, they felt themselves unequal. 
 
 In the proud consciousness that Troy Seminary had fulfilled its mission of 
 establishing on a permanent basis the principles of which its zealous founder 
 was the apostle, they decided to retire. 
 
 It was at the June commencement in 1872 that the official life of Mr. and 
 Mrs. John H. Willard ended. The closing words of Mrs. Willard's address to the 
 graduating class of that year furnish an epitome of her estimate of woman's 
 sphere, and the sentiments which she had conscientiously promulgated both in 
 precept and practice, during her more than forty years' connection with the 
 Seminary. The popular sentiment of to-day will doubtless take issue with her 
 limitations of feminine ambitions and pursuits, but we, whose youth was blessed 
 and guided by her teachings, cannot but confess and revere her consistency. 
 
 Gladstone has said that " woman is never so grand as when she is womanly." 
 Mrs. John H. Willard was eminently womanly. To the young graduates standing 
 
 before her she said, " In the light of your nature, as women, you will have 
 
 no temptation to wander from your own peculiar sphere — no desire to display your 
 attainments for admiration. You will consider home an ample theatre for the 
 exercise of your highest possibilities. There you may touch the springs which 
 move the world. The family is a type of heaven. There are nourished the 
 gentle graces which prepare us for the heavenly courts, and no less so those 
 forces on which all human forces are balanced. Woman is its centre, hence the 
 centre of all moral forces. Hidden in the seclusion of the family, she may be 
 a quickening, vivifying power, interpenetrating the masses of society. Like 
 light, she may be a silent beneficence ; like electricity kindle the most powerful 
 forces ; like heat she may melt the obdurate. While her special ministry is to 
 sympathize with the sufferer, to cheer the afflicted, to soften the austere, to lead 
 the child, to support the aged and infirm, to harmonize the incongruous, to 
 elevate the low, and to reclaim the vicious, it is also her province to elicit what 
 is noble, to inspire to extraordinary aims and achievements By her influ- 
 ence over the wills and consciences of men, she can lead them to feel that public 
 interest is as sacred as private, and to prefer duty to ease, honor to wealth, the 
 smile of God to the favor of man, the eternal interests of the immortal soul to 
 3 
 
32 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 the fleeting pleasures of the perishing body " Only they who recall her 
 
 devotion to the interests of her school and to those who shared her zealous 
 labors can fully apprehend the tender significance and pathos of her brief words 
 at parting. " I bid farewell to you all ; to you, my beloved teachers, who have 
 given your noble lives to the educational, wort of this dear Seminary, and by 
 your abilities, fidelity, and worthiness helped to make it honorable and useful ; 
 to you, past graduates, who have kindly graced this anniversary, and encouraged 
 by your presence the actors in its scenes ; to you, our cherished last class, who 
 have just achieved youi triumphs of school success ; to you who hope next year 
 to be graduated ; and to you, numerous flock of younger ohes who have yet to 
 run the race to this goal of higher learning on which you have so successfully 
 entered — to all of you, ladies, tenderly and lovingly, I bid farewell ! With pro- 
 found gratitude I bid farewell to the institution which I have loved so long and 
 so well !" 
 
 Although Mr. and Mrs. Willard retired from ofiicial connection with the 
 school in June, 1872, they remained in the building until May, 1873, during 
 which time they occupied themselves with partial oversight of the day-school 
 and the final adjustment of Seminary affairs. 
 
 There came a day when the old building was thrown open to the public for 
 the disposal of the accumulated furniture and belongings for which there was 
 no longer a need. Strangers wandered through the resounding halls and empty 
 chambers. The once pretty rooms, hallowed with memories of groups of merry 
 young girls, were all dismantled. Beds and bureaus, chairs and tables, that had 
 done kindly service in the ever-changing family of the Seminary, were ruth- 
 lessly knocked down to the highest bidder. 
 
 To Mr. and Mrs. Willard, whose domestic life had been from the first closely 
 interwoven with their school, this crisis was most significant, and the removal 
 of their home-altar a trying ordeal. But the heroic qualities that had dominated 
 their more vigorous years were not less in evidence in their retirement. 
 
 In May, 1873, the family removed to 118 Second Street, into a house near 
 the Seminary, which Mr. Willard had purchased. Here with their children and 
 the faithful sister of Mrs. Willard, Miss Theodosia Hudson, who had shared her 
 life-long joys, sorrows and labors, they set about making their new home. 
 
 A friend writing of this transition and the cheerful adjustment of the family 
 
 to its changed conditions, says, " Only one new piece of furniture was bought 
 
 a handsome bookcase. I remember how happy Mrs. Willard seemed as she 
 called my attention to it. In it she had arranged her favorite books— among 
 them those upon art which she was accustomed to use in connection with her 
 Saturday and Wednesday lectures. These lectures she continued to the school 
 so long as her health permitted." 
 
 For some years before her retirement from the Seminary there had been a 
 scientific organization in the school called "the Dana Society," in the researches 
 of which she had been deeply interested. She continued her leadership of this 
 class until compelled to relinquish all Seminary duties. 
 
EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 33 
 
 In 1875 she suffered from the effects of a sunstroke by which her health 
 was permanently impaired, but it was not until 1881 that she succumbed to 
 infirmity. It was a sorrowful experience for her friends to note the change 
 that gradually robbed her face of its nameless charm, as physical and mental 
 weakness insidiously stole upon her ; but even in her helplessness there was an 
 added loveliness of character. 
 
 Following the removal to the new home, Mr. Willard, as Secretary of the 
 Board of Trustees (of which Mr. William Gurley was President), took an active 
 part in the affairs of the Day School, until prostrated by serious illness in 1882, 
 from which he but partially rallied, lingering in feebleness until 1883. 
 
 A touching incident connected with his death was the homely tribute paid 
 to his memory by the former servants of Troy Seminary, who during the day 
 preceding his burial came in sad procession to look upon the face of their master, 
 whose kindly nature and ready sympathy for all had made him their friend and 
 helper. 
 
 His death, on the 28th of March, 1883, was followed by that of Mrs. Willard 
 three months later — her long illness terminating in her final sleep, June 26 of 
 the same year. 
 
 Five daughters survived them, the eldest of whom, Emma Willard, wife of 
 Henry J. Scudder of New York, died in 1893. The four remaining are Mrs. T.

 parents spent their closing years. 
 
34 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 Miss Theodosia Hudson, Vice-Principal of Troy Seminary from 1842 to iSjz. Died in i8.8y. 
 
 Theodosia Hudson was the younger sister of Mrs. John Willard — a pupil 
 in Troy Seminary from 1821 to 1826. After completing her course of study in 
 Troy she taught in a Quaker School in Flushing, L. I., until 1835, after which 
 she returned to Troy Seminary as teacher, continuing in active duty until the 
 retirement of Mr. and Mrs. Willard in in 1872. 
 
 From 1842 she filled the chair of Vice-Principal of the school, faithfully and 
 assiduously supplementing the labors of her' sister. She will be recalled by all 
 Troy pupils as a woman of unusually attractive personality, combined with high 
 intellectual attainment, while her cheerful and sympathetic nature endeared her 
 to all who were so fortunate as to come under her immediate surveillance. 
 Quick in discernment and shrewd in her judgments, she was especially successful 
 in her encouragement of timid pupils, often by her tactful kindness developing 
 the seemingly dull and obtuse scholars into intelligent and brilliant ornaments 
 of their class. With all her strength of character and power over others, she 
 was herself the gentlest and most unassuming of women. 
 
 Miss Hudson was a communicant of the Episcopal Church. She died in 
 1887, in Troy, at the Willard home in Second Street, lovingly ministered to in 
 her last years by her faithful nieces, Sarah and Harriet Willard. 
 
 This brief review of the services and sacrifices of the half century in which 
 Troy Seminary held front rank in woman's educational advancement does feeble 
 justice to the noble ones who carried the standard ; but we know that throughout 
 our land to-day, in thousands of homes, are those whose lives were moulded in 
 the healthful influences of Troy Seminary and the Willard home, who in their 
 grateful hearts will say, " Lord, keep their memory green."

 RECOED OF PUPILS. FIRST DECADE, 1822 TO 1832. 
 
 Adams, Hariette Newell, 
 
 Daughter of James and Jane (Dey) 
 Adams, was born in Castleton, Vt. ; 
 was a pupil of Troy Seminary during 
 the school year ending 1826. Married 
 in Castleton, Vt, in 1831, to William 
 C. Kitteredge, of Fair Haven, Vt. of 
 which marriage was born one child, 
 Harriet Elizabeth Adams. Mrs. Adams 
 died in Castleton, in 1837. 
 
 Adams, Delia Hoglan, 
 
 Daughter of James and Jane (Dey) 
 Adams, was born in Castleton, Vt. ; a 
 pupil of Troy Seminary in 1827; an in- 
 valid for many years. In 1832 she 
 married Isaac Wright, of Castleton, 
 Vt., where she died in i860. 
 
 Adams, Aon Eliza, 
 
 Of Poultney, Vt., a pupil in 1828. 
 Died soon after leaving the Seminary. 
 
 Adamcourt, Juliet, 
 
 Was a pupil of Troy Seminary from 
 1827 to 1830. Married in 1837 to James 
 McKilvie Lemon. Died in 1845. 
 
 Aldis, Miranda, 
 
 Daughter of Asa and Amy Owen 
 (Gadcomb) Aldis, was born in Provi- 
 dence, R. I. 
 
 Little is known of her early life be- 
 yond the fact of a notable thoughtful- 
 ness and intense love of study. She 
 was a pupil of Mrs. Emma Willard's 
 school in Middlebury, Vt., and subse- 
 quently in Troy, but the dates of her 
 entering and leaving the Seminary are 
 unknown. 
 
 It is, however, substantiated that her 
 eager pursuit of knowledge, her un- 
 swerving faithfulness, and her broad 
 grasp of the higher subjects of study, 
 won the regard and confidence of Mrs. 
 Willard to such a degree that a close 
 attachment grew up between them, 
 ending only with the life of the belov- 
 ed teacher. 
 
 While Miss Aldis never published 
 her own writings, it is known that she 
 often rendered Mrs. Willard valuable 
 aid in the compilation of her school 
 books. 
 
 Her father. Judge Aldis, an eminent 
 lawyer, early detected the rare legal 
 acumen of his daughter, her strong 
 love of justice, and her unusual dis- 
 crimination in questions of right and 
 wrong, and encouraged her in reading 
 his books. He would often discuss with 
 her the knotty points of the law, until 
 she became his congenial and helpful 
 companion, as she was afterward that 
 of her husband. She married late in 
 life Hon. Daniel Kellogg, of Bellows 
 Falls, Vt. 
 
 She shunned all display, but gave 
 largely of her time, sympathy, and in- 
 come to others. Many of her benefici- 
 aries still live to bless her for helping 
 them in securing a higher education, 
 which but for her gifts would have 
 been beyond their reach. 
 
 She died in Brattleboro', Vt., in 1885, 
 beloved and revered by all who knew 
 her — a conspicuous example of a noble 
 and beneficent life.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Alvord, Julia Velooa, 
 
 Daughter of Elijah and Mary (Bush) 
 Alvord, was born in Manlius, N. Y. 
 Her father was a direct descendant of 
 Alexander Alvord, who first located in 
 1634 in East Windsor, Conn., and after- 
 wards founded Northampton, Mass. 
 Her great-grandfather, his eldest son, 
 Thomas G. Alvord, Sr., and Thomas G. 
 Alvord, Jr., of Farmington, Conn., were 
 Revolutionary soldiers in the Artillery 
 branch, and being stationed at West 
 Point, Thomas G. Alvord, Jr., was one 
 of the guard detailed for duty at the 
 execution of Andre. He, with Thomas 
 G. Alvord, Sr., also was present at the 
 surrender of Cornwallis. 
 
 Elijah Alvord, her father, moved from 
 Farmington to Homer, N. Y., in 1798, 
 to lands given by the State of New 
 York — 600 acres in each division, and 
 known as the " Connecticut Contingent 
 of the New York Troops." 
 
 Miss Alvord 's connection with the 
 Troy Seminary began with its earliest 
 history. She had been a pupil in the 
 Lansingburgh Academy (George Sim- 
 ons, Principal) before entering Mrs. 
 Willard's school in Waterford. This 
 was before the dam was built between 
 Lansingburgh and Troy, and the young 
 school-girl often crossed the river by 
 the " rifts," which were easily fordable. 
 She continued with Mrs. Willard when 
 the school was moved to its new quar- 
 ters in Troy. A lover of books, she 
 proved an apt and thorough scholar. 
 Nor were the accomplishments over- 
 looked, for we find it recorded that she 
 excelled in dancing. 
 
 In 1824 she married Elijah Mather 
 Bissell, of Pittsfield, Mass., a descend- 
 ant of Cotton Mather. Of this mar- 
 riage seven children were born. The 
 family lived in Pittsfield, later in Du- 
 
 buque, Iowa, and afterwards in Lan- 
 singburgh, N. Y. 
 
 Being left a widow, Mrs. Bissell made 
 her home for a time in Syracuse, N. Y., 
 with her brother, ex-Lieut. Governor 
 Thomas G. Alvord. Subsequently she 
 went to Cincinnati, spending the last 
 years of her life at College Hill, Ohio. 
 She died in 1887. 
 
 Ashley, Jane Pelletreau, 
 
 Daughter of Major William and Jane 
 (Hillyer) Ashley, was born in Shef- 
 field, Mass. The southern part of 
 Sheffield was bought of the Kunhapot 
 Indians by her maternal grandfather, 
 and was named Ashley Falls. She 
 lived here until she entered Troy Sem- 
 inary in 1825, where she spent three 
 years. One of the cherished reminis- 
 cences of her school days at Troy was 
 the memorable visit of La Fayette to 
 the school, on which occasion she was 
 one of the singers who welcomed him. 
 In 1830 she became the wife of Wil- 
 liam Gelston Bates, of Westfield, Mass. 
 He was an eminent lawyer, and filled 
 various posts of trust and honor, as 
 Bank President, Member of Board of 
 Education, Member of the Governor's 
 Council, and Senator. Of eight chil- 
 dren, three only lived to maturity. A 
 daughter, Fanny Beulah Bates, com- 
 piled a book, entitled " Between the 
 Lights," and published by A. D. F. 
 Randolph, N. Y. She was the author of 
 two other volumes. She died in 1888. 
 Another daughter, Jane Ashley, is the 
 wife of James C. Greenough, Principal 
 of the State Normal School in West- 
 field, Mass. The third married Edward 
 E. Hardy (son of the late Hon. Alpheus 
 Hardy). 
 
 Mrs. Bates was a member of the First 
 Congregational Church of Westfield for 
 fifty years, and was interested in the 
 
RECORDS OF PUPILS, 1822 TO 1832. 
 
 n 
 
 benevolent and literary associations of 
 the place. 
 
 Her death occurred in 1885, in the 
 town which for so many happy years 
 had been her home — a home in which, 
 it was tenderly said, " one found the 
 perfection of hospitality." By her rare 
 endowments and accomplishments, and 
 her kindness of heart, she made her 
 fireside the place where her friends 
 loved to gather. 
 
 During the life of Mrs. Willard she 
 kept her interest in her pupil, some- 
 times visiting her in Westfield, and to 
 the last Mrs. Bates loved and revered 
 the memory of her early teacher. 
 
 Bache, Sarah Bleecker, 
 
 Daughter of Andrew and Charlotte 
 (Phillips) Bache, was born in New- York 
 city. She was educated in the private 
 schools of New York and Brooklyn, 
 before going to Troy Seminary in 1829, 
 being recalled from school in 1830 by 
 the death of a member of her family. 
 
 In 1832 she married John D. Klend- 
 gen, who died in 1847. ^'^ 1852 she 
 became the wife of Jacob R. Nevins, 
 and was the second time widowed in 
 1868. 
 
 Mrs. Nevins' home has been contin- 
 uously in New York, where she has 
 been identified with the management 
 of various charitable institutions. She 
 was Cashier for eighteen years of the 
 Female Benevolent Society of Calvary 
 Church, and associated with the charita- 
 ble work of Ascension Church, vice- 
 President of the Ladies' Depository of 
 New York, and President for twenty 
 years ; Secretary and Treasurer of the 
 New York Lying-in-Woman's Hospi- 
 tal for forty-two years, resigning in 
 1890. Address in 1896, Mrs. Sarah B. 
 Nevins, 49 W. 57th street. New York 
 city. 
 
 Bacon, Juiia A. 
 
 Daughter of Reuben and Martha 
 Bacon, of Great Barrington, Mass., was 
 a pupil in Troy Seminary in 1822. 
 Married in 1830 the Rev. Joseph Steele, 
 of Castleton, Vt., where she continued 
 to live, until her death in 1835. 
 
 Bailey, Phebe Alida, 
 
 Was a pupil of Mrs. Emma Willard 
 in Middlebury, Vt., from 18 14 to 1817. 
 
 She remained unmarried. Died in 
 Malone, N.Y., in 1885. 
 
 Baker, Emily M. 
 
 Daughter of Dr. Ebenezer and Betsey 
 (Williams) Baker, was born in Brook- 
 lyn, Conn. A pupil of Troy Seminary 
 from 1827 to 1829. Married in 1830 
 William Williams Mather, LL. D. He 
 graduated at West Point in 1828, where 
 he was afterwards an eminent Instruc- 
 tor and Geologist, also in Wesleyan 
 University, of Middletown, Conn., 
 which institution gave him the degree 
 of A. M., in 1834. He was Professor 
 of Natural Science in Ohio University 
 in 1842, and in 1845 its Acting Presi- 
 dent. In 1853 he received the degree 
 of LL. D. from Brown University. He 
 was an author of much repute. 
 
 Mrs. Mather died in Columbus, Ohio, 
 in 1850. The husband's death occurred 
 in the same city in 1859. They are 
 survived by two sons and three daugh- 
 ters — Richard Mather, of Ironton, O., 
 William Increase Mather, Elizabeth 
 Baker Mather, Hannah Putnam Mather, 
 and Mrs. Frances Mather Archer, whose 
 address is 13 10 Third Avenue, Hunt- 
 ington, W. Va. 
 
 Barlow, Deborah Sherman, 
 
 Daughter of Bradley and Deborah 
 (Sherman) Barlow, was born in Fair- 
 field, Vt., 1808 ;— a pupil in Troy Sem- 
 inary in 1822 and 1823. Married

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Stephen Sheldon Keyes, merchant of 
 Highgate, Vt., in 1829. Died in High- 
 gate in 1868. Of nine children, three 
 are now living, Stephen Keyes of 
 Oakland, Cal., Mrs. Elizabeth Keyes 
 Smalley, (widow) of Washington, D. C, 
 and Mrs. Laura Barlow Skeels, of Green 
 Bay, Wis. An elder son of Mrs. Keyes, 
 who inherited much of her intellectual 
 ability, has passed away since his mo- 
 ther's death. 
 
 For many years Mr. and Mrs. Keyes 
 enjoyed the friendship of the genial 
 author and poet John G. Saxe, from 
 whose graceful tribute to Mrs. Keyes 
 we make the following extract : " En- 
 dowed by nature and culture with su- 
 perior intellectual gifts, she possessed 
 an attractive person and a presence at 
 once pleasing and commanding. Gentle 
 and genial in her manner, refined yet 
 cordial in conversation, brave and self- 
 contained in every trying vicissitude, 
 few women were more tenderly loved 
 or more profoundly respected. Family 
 cares, to which she gave her life with 
 an almost excessive devotion, left her 
 few hours for the pleasures of society. 
 Adorned with graces that would have 
 embellished a court, she gave up all to 
 the near and dear ones of whom she 
 was alike the ornament and upholder. 
 Her home was the seat of a hospitality 
 which many will remember as equally 
 cordial, elegant, and unostentatious. In 
 all the relations of home life, as wife, 
 mother, friend, it is scarcely an ex- 
 aggeration to say she was without fault. 
 " No one was oftener mentioned as an 
 example worthy of emulation. Of those 
 who knew her, no father had a higher 
 aspiration for his daughter than that 
 she might resemble ' Debby Keyes' ; no 
 mother a happier wish for her son than 
 that he might have a wife endowed 
 with similar virtues. 
 
 "It is only fitting and yet almost 
 superfluous to add that Mrs. Keyes was 
 a conscientious and self-denying Chris- 
 tian, whose practical benevolence to all 
 around her afforded the highest evi- 
 dence of the sincerity with which she 
 followed the Master. Seldom in the 
 history of women have the words of 
 Solomon found a fitter application, 
 ' Many daughters have done virtuously, 
 but thou excellest them all.' " 
 
 Barlow, Laura, 
 
 Daughter of Bradley and Deborah 
 (Sherman) Barlow, was born in Fair- 
 field, Vt. ; attended Troy Seminary 
 1827 and 1828; married David Allen 
 Smalley, Judge of the United States 
 Court, of Burlington, Vt. ; children, 
 four sons and one daughter. The fam- 
 ily lived in Burlington, Vt., for nearly 
 forty years. 
 
 Judge Smalley died in 1877; Mrs. 
 Smalley 's death took place in 1879. 
 
 Col. Bradley Barlow Smalley, eldest 
 son of Judge and Mrs. Smalley, Col- 
 lector of Customs for the District 
 of Vermont, and a younger brother, 
 Eugene A. Smalley, survive their pa- 
 rents. 
 
 Barnard, Sarah Gross, 
 
 Daughter of Robert Foster and Au- 
 gusta (Porter) Barnard, was born in 
 Sheffield, Mass. 
 
 She was sister of the late President 
 F. A. P. Barnard, of Columbia College, 
 and of Major-General J. G. Barnard, of 
 Sheffield, Mass. A pupil of Troy Sem- 
 inary from 1824 to 1826; became the 
 wife of Augustus Seymour Porter, of 
 Niagara Falls, of which union were 
 two daughters — Jane Augusta and Sa- 
 rah Frederica Porter. 
 
 Mrs. Porter was a member of the 
 Presbyterian Church. She died in 
 1885. 
 
RECORDS OF PUPILS, 1822 TO 1832. 
 
 Barnes, Laura, 
 
 Daughter of Blakesley and Almira 
 (Porter) Barnes, was born in Berlin, 
 Conn. She attended Troy Seminary 
 from 1822 till 1827. 
 
 In 1829 she married Hon. John D. 
 Willard, of Troy, N. Y. Three sons 
 were born of this marriage — Henry, 
 Edward, and Clarence ; of these only 
 the eldest brother, the Rev. Henry 
 Willard, is now living. 
 
 Hon. John D. Willard died in Troy, 
 in 1864; Mrs. Willard in 1885, at Crys- 
 tal Lake, 111. 
 
 Barnes, Almira, 
 
 Daughter of Blakesly and Almira 
 (Porter) Barnes, was born in Berlin, 
 Conn. She was a pupil of Troy Sem- 
 inary from 1826 to 1827. Married 
 
 Fletcher, of New York city. 
 
 Barney, Anne Maria, 
 
 Daughter of William and Rebecca 
 (Thompson) Barney, was born in New 
 Haven, Conn. Attended the school in 
 charge of Mrs. Garfield in New Haven, 
 preparatory to going to Troy Semi- 
 nary, where she was a pupil in 1828. 
 She commended herself to Mrs. Wil- 
 lard by excellence of scholarship and 
 deportment. A letter from Mrs. Wil- 
 lard to Miss Barney, which appears in 
 Dr. Lord's "Life of Emma Willard," 
 bears witness to her motherly and 
 affectionate interest in those who were 
 placed under her care. 
 
 In 1829 Miss Barney married Elihu 
 L. Mix. Ten children were born of 
 this marriage, of whom four are now 
 living. 
 
 The greater part of Mrs. Mix's life 
 was spent in New York city, where 
 her natural endowments and her ac- 
 complishments made her a social star. 
 She died in the home of her childhood 
 
 in Westville, near New Haven, in 1881. 
 To her, death was the peaceful ending 
 of a happy and well-rounded life ; to 
 her surviving family it was a bereave- 
 ment that robbed them of the joy of 
 her loving and beautiful presence. 
 
 A surviving daughter writes : " I 
 think many who knew my mother's 
 ability, wondered that she never took 
 rank among the literary workers ; but 
 the care of a family of ten children 
 was absorbing, and she chose rather to 
 find her occupations and interests in 
 the line of her affections." 
 
 Barnuin, Anna E., 
 
 Daughter of Eli and Rhoda Barnum, 
 was born in Balston, Saratoga Co., N. 
 Y. ; a pupil in Troy Seminary in 1822. 
 Married, in 1829, James M. Cook, of 
 Ballston. Died in Ballston, in 1831. 
 Her husband died in li 
 
 Bartholomew, Eliza, 
 
 Daughter of Sherman and Sally 
 (Hackley) Bartholomew, was born in 
 Waterville, N. Y. Her father was 
 surgeon in the war of 18 12, dying 
 while in service. Her later home was 
 in Hamilton, N. Y., from which place 
 she went to Troy Seminary in 1827, 
 remaining till 1828. 
 
 In the same year she married Rufus 
 Bacon, to whom she became engaged 
 while in Troy, and at Mrs. Willard's 
 request the marriage ceremony took 
 place in the Seminary. 
 
 Her successive homes after marriage 
 were in Hamilton, Le Roy, and Roch- 
 ester, N. Y., in which latter city her 
 husband died. 
 
 Children of this marriage were Helen 
 S. Bacon (deceased), Mary C, now Mrs. 
 William R. Martin, of New York city, 
 Rufus Bacon (deceased), Hackley Ba- 
 con, and Isabella Bacon (deceased).

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 During her widowhood Mrs. Bacon 
 lived with her daughter, Mrs. Martin, 
 of New York city, where she died in 
 the sixties. 
 
 An incident of Miss Bartholomew's 
 connection with the school during the 
 visits of her lover, Mr. Bacon, forcibly 
 illustrates Mrs. Willard's tact in meet- 
 ing an exigency. The name of Miss 
 Bartholomew being read one morning 
 from the report of the monitress of 
 the previous evening, as having trans- 
 gressed the rule of putting out her 
 light at the specified hour for the pu- 
 pils, Mrs. Willard quickly said, " Miss 
 Bartholomew is one of my teachers, 
 and is no longer subject to the rules of 
 the school." This announcement was 
 as much of a surprise to Miss Barthol- 
 omew, as to the school at large ; but 
 from that day until the close of the term 
 she remained in charge of one class — 
 thus maintaining the law, but justify- 
 ing the larger liberty which Mrs. Wil- 
 lard desired to grant to her. 
 
 Bayeux, Julia M., 
 
 Attended Troy Seminary in 1826. 
 Died in 1882. 
 
 Beach, Caroline, 
 
 Daughter of Miles and Cynthia 
 (Warner) Beach, was born at Saratoga 
 Springs, N. Y. She was a pupil of 
 Troy Seminary from 1829 to 1830. 
 
 In 1832 she married Enoch Hunting- 
 ton Rosekrans, lawyer, afterwards ap- 
 pointed Judge of the Circuit Court in 
 the State of New York. 
 
 Mrs. Rosekrans died in 1893 at 
 the residence of her grand-daughter, 
 "Brookholme," Staten Island. 
 Beals, Ann F., 
 
 Daughter of Thomas and Abigail 
 (Field) Beals, was born in Canandaigua 
 N. Y. 
 
 Her father went to Canandaigua from 
 Boston in 1803, fourteen years after the 
 first settlement of the town, and was 
 for sixty years one of the leading citi- 
 zens in business circles and in the 
 church. 
 
 He was a banker of great sagacity 
 and probity — a man of dignity, with the 
 courtly manners of the old school. His 
 wife Abigail Field went from Madison, 
 Conn., to Canandaigua, in 1800, with 
 her brother the Rev. Timothy Field, 
 who was the first installed pastor of the 
 Congregational Church. She was a 
 sister also of the Rev. David Dudley 
 Field, D. D. 
 
 The daughter, Ann Field Beals, was 
 one of the early pupils of Troy Female 
 Seminary, being enrolled in 1821. Hav- 
 ing completed the full course of study, 
 she taught successfully for some years. 
 
 Subsequently she became the wife of 
 Alfred B. Field, son of the Rev. Tim- 
 othy Field, of Canandaigua, a merchant 
 held in high esteem, and greatly be- 
 loved in the community. 
 
 The seven children of this marriage 
 were Henry M. Field, Esq., of Canan- 
 daigua, Ann Eliza, wife of George B. 
 Bates, of Detroit, Margaret Field (de- 
 ceased), Lucilla B., wife of the Rev. S. 
 W. Pratt, (deceased), Mary E., wife of 
 William P. Fiske, (deceased), Louisa 
 W., wife of H. M. Finley of Canandai- 
 gua, and Alfred B. Field of San Fran- 
 cisco. Mrs. Field was a zealous worker 
 in her church, and the aims and influ- 
 ences of her life were wholly philan- 
 thropic. Her striking personality was 
 emphasized by a highly educated mind 
 and cultivated manners. She enjoyed 
 travel, visiting Europe several times, 
 and through her gathering years 
 retained a lively interest in current 
 events.

 On her ninetieth birthday she re- 
 ceived the congratulations of her 
 friends, and answered many letters 
 with her own hands. After a brief 
 illness she entered into rest in 1896. 
 Funeral services were held in Detroit, 
 where she died, and in Canandaigua, the 
 home of her youth and her usefulness. 
 
 Mrs. Field was the aunt of Cyrus W. 
 Field, Judge Stephen Field, (U. S. 
 Supreme Court,) Hon. David Dudley 
 Field, and the Rev. Henrv M. Field, 
 editor of the Evangelist. 
 
 Bean, Mary Young, 
 
 Daughter of Rev. Moses Bean, was 
 born in Keene, N. H. Her father was 
 a well-known Baptist clergyman. 
 
 As a young girl she enjoyed superior 
 advantages for education, and early 
 developed an ambition to become a 
 teacher. 
 
 In pursuance of this purpose, attracted 
 by the reputation of Troy Seminary, she 
 entered that institution in 1831. She 
 was then nineteen years of age, and 
 through previous application and in- 
 dustry was well qualified to enter upon 
 a successful course of study. So con- 
 spicuous was her ability while in the 
 Seminary, that Mrs. Willard once said 
 of her, "Genius in every department 
 seems inherent with Miss Bean, and as 
 a prospective teacher she has no supe- 
 rior." How fully has this prophecy 
 been justified in the career of " the 
 famous educator, Mary Y. Bean." In 
 1843 Miss Bean was invited to take 
 charge of the female department of the 
 celebrated school of the Mechanics In- 
 stitute in New York city. Popular as it 
 had been before, she brought it to a de- 
 gree of excellence beyond its previous 
 high standards. When, through the de- 
 velopment of the public schools, the 
 school of the Institute was discontinued, 
 
 Miss Bean opened a Seminary for 
 young ladies, which for twenty-four 
 years was the most prominent in New 
 York. Many famous teachers were as- 
 sociated with her, and her large client- 
 age was of the best people in the city. 
 During her administration as Principal, 
 Miss Bean's weekly receptions were a 
 gathering place for the elite of literary 
 men and women of New York, such as 
 Geo. P. Putnam, Anne C. Lynch (after- 
 ward Mrs. Botta), Horace Greeley, H. 
 J. Raymond, Alfred B. Street, Edgar A. 
 Poe, Louis Gaylord Clarke, Bayard Tay- 
 lor, R. H. Stoddard, Geo. H. Moore, Dr. 
 Osgood, Dr. Chapin, Mrs. Kirkland, 
 Frances Osgood, Sarah J. Hale, Mrs. 
 Sigourney, and others. 
 
 Miss Bean, with her stately and grace- 
 ful bearing, and her cordial and respon- 
 sive manner, was herself a conspicuous 
 figure in the brilliant coterie. 
 
 For many years before her death she 
 lived in retirement from general society. 
 She died at her home in New York city, 
 in 1 89 1, of paralysis, at the age of 79. 
 
 Belden, ilannah Judd, 
 
 Daughter of Leonard and Roxana 
 (Hart) Belden, was born in New Brit- 
 ain, Conn. She was a pupil of Troy 
 Seminary in 1829. 
 
 In 1832 she married the Rev. Alfred 
 Gardner, of East Windham, N. Y. In 
 1 861 her home was in Wayauwega, 
 Wis. Five children were born of 
 this marriage, Sarah, Mary, Leonard, 
 Emma, and Andrew. 
 
 Benjamio, Abby, 
 
 Daughter of Nathan and Ruth (Sey- 
 mour) Benjamin, was born in Cattskill, 
 N. Y. Her home was afterwards in 
 Williamstown, Mass., from whence she 
 entered Troy Seminary in 1824, re- 
 maining till 1825.

 children of this marriage are Mrs. 
 Lucy Sabin Adriance, Mrs. Ruth Sabin 
 Leake, Mrs. Elizabeth Sabin Leake,

 Bigelow, Jane Ruth, 
 
 Daughter of Aaron and Samantha 
 (Reynolds) Bigelow, was born in Cum- 
 mington, Mass. She entered Troy Sem- 
 inary in 1827, and graduated in 1831. 
 
 Her father having sustained finan- 
 cial reverses, she went to Georgia as 
 a teacher on leaving the Seminary. 
 There she met and married, at the 
 expiration of one year's teaching, Seth 
 P. Storrs, Esq., a lawyer of Wetumpka, 
 Ala. Five children were born of this 
 marriage, three sons and two daugh- 
 ters. 
 
 She was a member of the Baptist 
 Church. One who knew her pays lov- 
 ing tribute to her memory in the fol- 
 lowing words : " Hers was a strong and 
 beautiful Christian character, and her 
 life was a comfort and a joy to all who 
 knew her." She died in 1856, in Cov- 
 ington, Ga. The touching circum- 
 stances of her death were the occasion 
 of the subjoined poem, from a well- 
 known American writer : "A tribute 
 to Mrs. Jane Ruth Storrs, from Mrs. L. 
 H. Sigourney." 
 
 A lovely Alabama mother, prostra- 
 ted by the sudden shock of widow- 
 hood, was induced to seek health from 
 a change of climate among friends in 
 Georgia, where she died in the autumn 
 of 1856. Three of her children reached 
 her just in time for a last farewell 
 and a mother's blessing, so swiftly did 
 death's fatal arrow speed to her heart. 
 
 THE PARTING. 
 " ' Is there any Healer near ? 
 Any Balm of Gilead here .' 
 I have journeyed on to see. 
 
 Wearily — wearily, 
 That if God should hear my sigh, 
 I might live, and not yet die, 
 For my blessed children's sake.' 
 So the widowed mother spake. 
 
 " Then the Georgian breezes blew 
 Soft and sweet, 
 And the flowers around her grew. 
 And the sparkling waters threw 
 Gifts of vigor at her feet ; 
 And the great magnolia strewed 
 Its heart-incense at the word. 
 Breathed by patience out of pain ; 
 But in vain. 
 
 " Who are these, that like the dove 
 Toward the window of the ark. 
 
 With the trembling wing of love 
 
 Onward press through light and dark ? 
 
 To the mother's couch they cling 
 
 In their bitter sorrowing. 
 
 Lo ! from its heavenward track 
 
 The parting soul looks back ; 
 
 One angel smile to shed. 
 
 Though earthly speech had fled, 
 
 One spirit kiss to press 
 
 On brows of loveliness ; 
 
 Doth it listen to their cry. 
 
 Seraph tear-drop in its eye ? 
 
 " Now all is o'er — they stand. 
 An orphan band ! 
 Oh, Time ! oh, Death ! oh. Grief ! 
 
 How fearful strong ye are ! 
 What to your shafts can bring relief. 
 Or in your loved home quell despair ? 
 Bereft and loving band, 
 He of the pierced hand 
 Your woe can understand ! 
 Turn — turn ye there !"

 One of these was Mrs. Emma Willard. 
 Of both my mother always spoke with 
 the greatest reverence, and I feel quite 
 sure that the impression made upon 
 my mind by the lives of these two wo- 
 men, as narrated by her, was what gave

 Copy of letter from Mrs. Emma Wil- 
 lard to Hon. W. C. Bradley : 
 
 " Dear Sir : We send you back the 
 gentle and amiable being you sent us, 
 in as good health as we received her. 
 You cannot expect much improvement 
 in so short a time ; yet we think she 
 has begun the work under the most 
 favorable auspices. Although she came 
 into the school late in the term, and 
 was put into classes which were formed 
 at its commencement, yet at the close 
 of the term she stood on a level with 
 the best scholars in each class. She 
 has won upon our affection, and has 
 learned to love us. She begins, I 
 
 think, to confide freely in me ; and she 
 appears so prudent, that I am not afraid 
 to confide in her. Merab is so confi- 
 ding among her companions, and so 
 little inclined to think ill of any one, 
 that there is a species of confidence 
 that I find necessary to repose in her, 
 which is to point out to her the real 
 character of her companions, when she 
 is in any way to come in contact with 
 them. 
 
 " In short, Mr. Bradley, you send her 
 to me — what I love to find in my pu- 
 pils — pure, modest, docile, ingenuous, 
 sound in heart and mind. Be it mine 
 to see that she retains these fine quali- 
 ties, which she owes to God and to you, 
 her parents, while she adds to them 
 the elegance of the lady and the intel- 
 lectual culture of the intelligent wom- 
 an. With sentiments of the most cor- 
 dial esteem, I am yours and Mrs. Brad- 
 ley's affectionate friend," 
 
 "EMMA WILLARD."

 On leaving school she interested 
 herself in social and church duties 
 until her marriage in 1831 to the Rev. 
 James Harrison, a home missionary. 
 To the work of missions she cheerfully 
 and heartily consecrated her life, leav- 
 ing a home of luxury to share the pri- 
 vations and responsibilities of her hus- 
 band, and filling the place of a minis- 
 ter's wife conscientiously and accep- 
 tably. 
 
 In 1855 they removed from Ohio to 
 Waterloo, Iowa, what was then re- 
 garded as the far West. Here for 
 many years she aided her husband in 
 his arduous work, while with frugality 
 and skill she maintained a cheerful and 
 happy home. Loyal to the church of 
 
 her choice, (the Presbyterian) her heart 
 went out towards all avenues of benevo- 
 lence. She counted no sacrifice too 
 great in order that the Lord's work 
 might prosper. On one occasion when 
 funds were needed, and she had no 
 money to give, she took the chain and 
 seals from her watch and put them 
 into the treasury. This was an index

 riage, was a pupil at Litchfield, Conn. 
 
 Her mother's father, Israel Harris,

 name, Sigourney, was derived from a 
 Huguenot ancestor of her father, who 
 fled from persecution in France, in 168 1. 
 
 Her constitution was shattered by a 
 fever in childhood, so that her health 
 was always delicate. She became a 
 pupil of Troy Seminary in 1822. French 
 and painting were the studies which 
 chiefly engaged her while in Troy. In 
 French her text-book was Dufief 's " Na- 
 ture Displayed." In painting she ac- 
 quired such skill as an artist in water- 
 colors, that many friends still cherish 
 specimens of her handiwork as highly- 
 prized works of art. Her father's libra- 
 ry was one of the choicest and largest 
 in Rutland, of which she made liberal 
 use. 
 
 Miss Butler was married in 1829 to 
 Horace Green, M. D., and spent her 
 married life in the house next to the 
 one in which she was born. ' She died

 Case, Jane Prances, 
 
 Daughter of Erastus and Mary (Pet- 
 tibone) Case, was born in Hartford, 
 Conn. Afterwards lived in Canton, 
 Conn., from which place she went to 
 Troy Seminary in 1828, remaining until 
 1830. 
 
 In 1 83 1 she married Sylvester Wil- 
 lard, M. D., of Auburn, N. Y. Of this 
 marriage are two daughters, Catharine 
 and Georgina Willard. 
 
 The family home continued in Au- 
 burn, where Dr. Willard was for forty 
 years before his death one of the Board 
 of Trustees of Auburn Theological 
 Seminary. 
 
 Mrs. Willard was married at the early

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 age of seventeen, and although her 
 maturer life was signalized by high 
 aims and gracious deeds, it was in her 
 home that she found her true happi- 
 ness. Of her it may be justly said, 
 " Her children rise up and call her 
 blessed." Her death took place at her 
 home in Auburn, in 1890. 
 
 In 1894 a beautiful chapel was built 
 and presented to Auburn Theological 
 Seminary by the Misses Catharine and 
 Georgina Willard in memory of their 
 parents. 
 
 Cass,- Elizabeth, 
 
 Eldest daughter of Gen. Lewis and 
 Elizabeth (Spencer) Cass, was born in 
 Detroit, Mich. 
 
 Her father was Governor of Michi- 
 gan Territory, and Secretary of War 
 under Gen. Jackson's administration. 
 
 Her mother was a beautiful and cul- 
 tivated woman, transmitting to her 
 daughters much of her charming per- 
 sonality. 
 
 Elizabeth Cass was a pupil of Troy 
 Seminary in 1824. It is recorded of 
 her that she excelled in scholarship 
 and gave promise of a brilliant future. 
 
 Following her graduation from Troy, 
 she spent the winter of 1831 in Wash- 
 ington with her father. 
 
 On her return to Detroit she was 
 seized with brain fever, which termi- 
 nated fatally. She died in the historic 
 old French house on what is known as 
 the " Cass Farm." 
 
 Cass, Mary Sophia, 
 
 Daughter of Gen. Lewis and Eliza- 
 beth (Spencer) Cass, was born near 
 Zanesville, Ohio, in 18 12. 
 
 In 18 1 3 her father was appointed 
 Governor of Michigan, which ofSce he 
 filled for many years. He served at 
 different times as U. S. Senator, Sec- 
 
 retary of State, Secretary of War, and 
 Minister to Russia. 
 
 Mary Sophia Cass attended Troy 
 Seminary in 1829, and later was a pupil 
 in the New York school of Madame 
 O'Kee. 
 
 Her father's official position and dip- 
 lomatic life surrounded her with a bril- 
 liant society, in which she was distin- 
 guished for gentle and captivating 
 manners. 
 
 It is said of the daughters of Gen. 
 Cass, that they possessed strong relig- 
 ious instincts, and their kindness to 
 clergymen and their families in De- 
 troit is traditional. 
 
 In 1 84 1 Miss Cass was married, in 
 London, England, to Capt. Augustus 
 Canfield, of the U. S. Topographical 
 Engineers, a graduate of West Point 
 in 1822. Of five children, four sons 
 and one daughter, three died early. 
 Of the two sons who came to manhood, 
 the elder died at Princeton in 1874, 
 where both were pursuing their stud- 
 ies. Mrs. Canfield died in New York 
 city in 1882. 
 
 Her youngest son, Augustus Cass 
 Canfield, the only surviving member 
 of the family, is living at 40 Park Ave- 
 nue, New York city. 
 
 Chapin, Eliza, 
 
 Daughter of Thaddeus and Eliza- 
 beth (Morse) Chapin, was born in Can- 
 andaigua, N. Y. ; a pupil of Troy Sem- 
 inary from 1822 to 1823. 
 
 Although Miss Chapin has passed 
 her ninetieth birthday, she retains 
 clear recollections of her seminary 
 days, and the impressive stateliness of 
 Madame Emma Willard in her black 
 satin gown and white turban. 
 
 She recalls with interest the journey 
 from her home to Troy, in 1822, when, 
 accompanied by her brother, she went 
 
RECORD OF PUPILS, 1822 TO 1832. 
 
 51 
 
 first to Palmyra, N. Y., thence by canal- 
 boat to Albany, and from Albany to 
 Troy by stage-coach. In school she 
 was designated as one of the " West- 
 ern girls." 
 
 Canandaigua has continued to be her 
 home, where she is still enjoying (in 
 1895) a ripe old age. 
 
 Chatterton, Louisa, 
 
 Daughter of Isaac and Mary (Todd) 
 Chatterton, was born in Rutland, Vt. 
 
 While yet a young girl she was given 
 the choice of a saddle-horse or the op- 
 portunity of going away to school. She 
 chose the latter, and was entered at 
 Middlebury Academy, in 18 19, while 
 Mrs. Emma Willard was still in charge. 
 In point of scholarship she fulfilled 
 the promise of her earlier years, and 
 although she did not follow Mrs. Wil- 
 lard to Troy, she was cordially recom- 
 mended by her as qualified for teach- 
 ing. She developed ability in writing, 
 and especial aptitude in painting in 
 water-colors. 
 
 In 1820 she married German Ham- 
 mond, of the firm of " Blake & Ham- 
 mond," of Brandon, Vt. 
 
 Five children were born of this mar- 
 riage : Charles Hammond, St. Paul, 
 Minn. ; Francis Hammond (died in 
 Rosendale, Wis. ; Leverett Hammond, 
 Rosendale, Wis.; Mrs. Eben Peck, Jack- 
 sonville, 111. ; and Mrs. Anna L. Brad- 
 shaw, Heywood Avenue, Orange, N. J. 
 
 Mrs. Hammond was a member of 
 the Congregational Church. She was 
 " given to hospitality," and her house 
 was especially open to the clergymen 
 who visited Brandon. 
 
 She died, in 1868, in Rosendale, Wis. 
 
 Chichester, Caroline N., 
 
 Daughter of Jeremiah and Charity 
 (Scudder) Chichester, was born in Troy, 
 
 N. Y. Entered Troy Seminary in 1827; 
 graduated in 1831. Married Henry R. 
 Hubbell ; children, five ; successive res- 
 idence, Troy, N. Y., and Sing Sing ; 
 died in Westport, Conn, in 1891. 
 
 Chipman, Huldah, 
 
 Daughter of Timothy F. Chipman, of 
 Shoreham, Vt, was a pupil in Miss 
 Emma Hart's Seminary in Middle- 
 burgy, Vt., in 1808. She married in 
 18 1 5 the Rev. Ephraim Holland New- 
 ton, who was ordained and installed 
 as pastor of the Congregational Church 
 in Marlboro, Vt., where they made 
 their home for nearly twenty years. 
 In 1833 they removed to Glens Falls, 
 N. Y., and in 1836 to Cambridge, N. Y. 
 Mrs. Newton died in Cambridge in 
 1853, followed by her husband in 
 1864. 
 
 Two children survive them : Seraph 
 Huldah, widow of John McAllister 
 Stevenson, of Cambridge, N. Y., and 
 John Marshall Newton, Librarian of 
 the Young Men's Mercantile Library, 
 Cincinnati, O. 
 
 In loving memory of her honored 
 mother, Mrs. Stevenson contributed to 
 the statue erected to the memory of 
 Mrs. Emma Willard, her mother's 
 early friend. 
 
 Clark, Susan Almira, 
 
 Daughter of Dr. Russel and Au- 
 rinda (Wheeler) Clark, was born in 
 Hubbardton, Rutland Co., Vt., in 1805. 
 Her youth was passed in the quiet 
 domesticity incident to the homes of 
 the early part of the century. 
 
 Miss Almira Hart, (afterward Mrs. 
 Almira Lincoln-Phelps) had taught in 
 Sandy Hill, N. Y., where Susan Clark 
 was one of her pupils, and through 
 her attachment to Miss Hart, added 
 the name of Almira to her own. She

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 was afterwards a pupil of Mrs. Willard 
 in Waterford, in 1820, presumably fol- 
 lowing tlie school to Troy. She mar- 
 ried, in 1827, Charles Rogers. Of this 
 marriage there were six children : 
 Cordelia E., Charles J., Susan A., 
 James C, Randolph, and Clara. Mrs. 
 Rogers was left a widow in 1 874. Her 
 own death occurred in 1885. 
 
 She was a loving wife, a devoted 
 mother and a faithful friend ; always 
 giving a strong personal influence to 
 every good work in the Church and 
 community, and especially interested 
 in the cause of temperance. 
 
 Clark, Emma Cornelia, 
 
 Daughter of Captain Jerome Clark, 
 was born in Cherry Valley, N. Y. 
 Her mother's family name was 
 Hughes. She entered Troy Seminary 
 from Cooperstown, N. Y. in 1823, and 
 continued till 1825. She was a school- 
 mate and friend of Lucre tia M. David- 
 son—the " E. C." to whom a poem is 
 addressed, written by Lucretia David- 
 son, during recitation, on a leaf of 
 " Paley." 
 
 In 1832 she married the Rev. Will- 
 iam Daniel Strobel, pastor of St. 
 James Lutheran Church, New York 
 city. She died in that city in 1833. 
 The Rev. Mr. Strobel died in Rhine- 
 beck, N. Y. in 889. 
 
 Clark, Elizabeth Brainerd, 
 
 Daughter of Levi H. and Mary 
 Anne (Griswold) Clarke, was born in 
 Middletown, Conn. 
 
 Her father was co- editor of the 
 " New York Commercial Advertiser," 
 reporter and editor of "New York 
 Constitutional Convention Debates," 
 and at the time of his death was Judge 
 of New York City courts. The family 
 lived in East Haddam, and in Middle- 
 
 town, Conn., and later in Carthage, 
 N. Y. The earlier schooldays of Eliza- 
 beth were passed in Lyme and in 
 Middletown before entering Troy Sem- 
 inary in 1824, where she continued 
 until 1828, completing the prescribed 
 course. Miss Clark was one of the pu- 
 pils who assisted at the reception of 
 welcome given by Mrs. Emma Wil- 
 lard to Gen. La Fayette on the occasion 
 of his visit to this country. 
 
 She recalls also a less pleasing inci- 
 dent of her Troy school-days, when an 
 epidemic of influenza enlisted the ser- 
 vices of good Dr. Robbins, who sent 
 the scholars all to bed and dosed them 
 alike — the well that they might not be 
 ill, and the ill that they might be well. 
 
 In 1844 she married in Northfield, 
 Conn, Bushnell White, a prominent 
 lawyer of Cleveland, O., in which city 
 her married life has been spent. Of 
 this marriage were born one son, John 
 Griswold White, and a daughter, Mary 
 Elizabeth White, who died in 1859. 
 Mrs. White was left a widow in 1885. 
 
 While her tastes and inclinations 
 have induced a life of retirement, her 
 occasional contributions to magazines 
 and newspapers have given evidence 
 of a cultivated mind and a facile pen. 
 Her son, John Griswold White, of 
 White, Johnson & McGaslin, Counsel- 
 lors at Law, is a resident of Cleve- 
 land. Address in 1895, Mrs. Elizabeth 
 Brainerd White, 187 Lake St., Cleve- 
 land, O. 
 
 Clemson, Elizabeth, 
 
 Daughter of Thomas Green and 
 Elizabeth (Baker) Clemson, was born 
 in Philadelphia, Pa. 
 
 Her father was a descendant of Jacob 
 Clemson, one of the Swedes who came 
 to this country and settled on the west 
 bank of the Delaware river, in what 
 
RECORD OF PUPILS, 1822 TO 1832. 
 
 S3 
 
 was then called New Sweden. Al- 
 though he died in early manhood, he 
 had amassed what was regarded in 
 those days as a handsome fortune. 
 Much of this fortune was invested in 
 real estate in the vicinity of Ninth and 
 Market streets, the present Philadel- 
 phia Post -Office being built upon a 
 portion of it. 
 
 The eulogies which his sudden death 
 called forth, accredited him with all 
 the qualifications of a noble and gen- 
 erous nature. 
 
 His young widow, left with six 
 children, abandoned herself to her 
 grief, while her financial affairs were 
 committed to the lawyers appointed 
 by the Court, and in the vicissitudes 
 which ensued the estate greatly depre- 
 ciated in value. 
 
 When, as the years passed, the edu- 
 cation of her children engaged her, 
 she looked about for a suitable school 
 for the subject of this sketch. An 
 elder son, who, as he matured, shared 
 his widowed mother's responsibilities, 
 recommended that his sister Elizabeth 
 be placed in the then renowned school 
 of Mrs. Willard, believing that she 
 would there receive the training which 
 would fit her for a worthy and well- 
 developed womanhood. Thus far she 
 had spent her life in her mother's 
 home, availing herself of the private 
 schools of Philadelphia. 
 
 She entered Troy Seminary in 1824, 
 remaining until 1827. She won many 
 friends by her vivacity and kindness 
 of heart, and distinguished herself by 
 high attainment. 
 
 Mrs. Emma Willard was the beau- 
 ideal of all womanly virtues to Eliza- 
 beth Clemson, and a life-long friend- 
 ship was kindled between the two, 
 ending only with the death of the 
 noble instructress who had so incited 
 
 her to high aims and earnest endeavor. 
 Among intimate friendships formed 
 while a pupil at Troy, were those of 
 Lucre tia and Sarah Davidson, poet- 
 esses whose muse was silenced by 
 early death. 
 
 Louise Clemson, an elder sister of 
 Elizabeth, had married Dr. Samuel 
 Walter Washington of " Harewood," 
 Va. This historic place was originally 
 built by Col. Samuel Washington, (the 
 oldest full brother of Gen. Washing- 
 ton) and was, at the time of which we 
 write, the home, by inheritance, of his 
 grandson, the husband of Louise 
 Clemson. 
 
 Much of Elizabeth Clemson's girl- 
 hood was passed in this place with her 
 sister, where she soon identified her- 
 self with its history, making herself a 
 favorite throughout the surrounding 
 country. From its earliest days " Hare- 
 wood " had been noted for its hospital- 
 ity, and in Elizabeth's time it main- 
 tained its reputation most honorably. 
 Its young hostess, Louise Clemson 
 Washington, was pronounced by Henry 
 Clay, who was an honored guest, as 
 one of the handsomest women he had 
 ever met. A miniature of Elizabeth 
 Clemson, painted in her girlhood, shows 
 traces of rare beauty. In later years 
 she was distinguished by her attrac- 
 tive face and aristocratic presence. 
 
 Her marriage in 1835 to George 
 Washington Barton removed her to 
 Lancaster, Pa., the birth-place and 
 home of her husband, then a rising 
 young lawyer, who pursued his studies 
 in the law-office of Hon. James Bu- 
 chanan, afterward President of the 
 United States. In 1838 Mr. Barton 
 removed to Philadelphia, where his 
 talents soon placed him high in his 
 profession. 
 
 Mrs. Barton was ever a helpmeet to 
 
54 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 her husband, winning for him many- 
 friends by her own charming social 
 qualities. Her stately figure, com- 
 manding presence, and graciousness of 
 manner are still recalled by those who 
 knew her in her prime. In addition 
 to her personal charms and womanly 
 virtues, she was an accomplished pian- 
 ist and thorough musician. Her tal- 
 ent had been highly cultivated, and 
 her taste and ear were never at fault. 
 Even in her advancing years her 
 friends listened with delight to her 
 faultless touch as she woke the har- 
 monies of the past and the melodies of 
 her youth. 
 
 In 1851 Mrs. Barton v/as left a 
 widow without means, and with a 
 young daughter dependent upon her. 
 With a brave heart she took up the 
 battle of life, and opened a young la- 
 dies' boarding-school in Philadelphia. 
 Her instinctive love for young people, 
 and her magnetic influence over them, 
 eminently fitted her for this work. It 
 was at this crisis she reaped the after- 
 harvest of her training in Mrs. Wil- 
 lard's school, and profited by the riper 
 judgment and kind advice of her 
 faithful friend. She soon found her- 
 self at the head of a prosperous school, 
 numbering among her pupils the 
 daughters and grand-daughters of the 
 rich and distinguished. Mrs. Barton's 
 own familiarity with the cultivated and 
 intelligent society of our country quali- 
 fied her as a model for the young la- 
 dies committed to her charge. She 
 saw much of public life, and associated 
 with the families of our most notable 
 statesmen. Her second brother mar- 
 ried the daughter of John C. Calhoun, 
 in whose home she was a favored and 
 oft-welcomed guest. She numbered 
 President Buchanan and his niece. 
 Miss Lane, among her friends, and en- 
 
 joyed the entrie of Mt. Vernon when it 
 was the private residence of Col. and 
 Mrs. Augustus Washington. William 
 CuUen Bryant and Daniel Webster 
 were her warm personal friends. 
 
 The closing years of Mrs. Barton's 
 life were spent with her daughter, who 
 in 1877 married Thomas Hall Neilson, 
 a member of the Philadelphia bar. 
 
 Here she shed the light of her genial 
 nature, tenderly cherished by her be- 
 loved daughter and husband, who was 
 to her a devoted son. But neither love 
 nor care can stay the hand of death. 
 Her well rounded life ended Feb. 17, 
 1 89 1, and she sleeps with her kindred 
 in Laurel Hill, on the banks of the 
 Schuylkill. 
 
 Collin, Ruth Maria, 
 
 Daughter of John and Ruth Hol- 
 man (Johnson) Collin, was born in 
 Hillsdale, N. Y. 
 
 Prepared in Wilbraham school for 
 Troy Seminary, where she entered in 
 1824, remaining till 1825. 
 
 The visit of Gen. La Fayette to Troy 
 Seminary took place while Mrs. Collin 
 and her sister were pupils there. Miss 
 Collin died in 1838. 
 
 Collin, Mannah Caroline, 
 
 Daughter of John and Ruth Hol- 
 man (Johnson) Collin, was bom in 
 Hillsdale, N. Y. Attended school in 
 Wilbraham preparatory to entering 
 Troy Seminary, where she was a pu- 
 pil during the school year ending 1825. 
 
 She afterwards assisted her uncle, 
 Arnold Truesdell, in a school in Cin- 
 cinnati, in 183 1. Married Louis Wright, 
 and with him conducted the Xenia 
 Shawnee Academy from 1841 to 1854. 
 Died in 1894, aged 84 years. 
 
 Conant, Abba P., 
 
 Daughter of John W.and Julia (Hanks) 
 Conant, was born in Mansfield, Conn.

 She was a pupil of Troy Seminary in 
 the first decade. Died in 1854. 
 
 Converse, Elizabeth Q., 
 
 Daughter of John and Elizabeth 
 (Barker) Converse, was born in Nor- 
 wich, Conn. A pupil of Troy Seminary 
 from 1825 to 1827. Married, in 1828, 
 George A. Starkweather, of Coopers- 
 town, N. Y. Of this marriage were 
 born thirteen children. In 1856 the 
 family removed to Milwaukee, Wis. 
 
 Four sons fought bravely in the war 
 of 1 86 1, and came safely through its 
 dangers. The eldest son, John Converse, 
 was made Brigadier-General, and died 
 at the age of sixty-one years, in Wash- 
 ington, D. C. Present address, Mrs. 
 George A. Starkweather, Milwaukee, 
 Wis. 
 
 Craig, Sarah Agnes, 
 
 Daughter of the Hon. Hector and 
 Sarah (Chandler) Craig, was born in 
 New York City in 1807. 
 
 Her father was a prominent citizen 
 of Craigville, Orange Co., N. Y., at one 
 time a representative in Congress, and 
 in 1830 appointed by President Jackson 
 as surveyor of the port of New York. 
 
 His daughter was identified with the 
 first years of Troy Seminary under 
 Madame Emma Willard, being one of 
 the youngest and earliest pupils, enter- 
 ing in 1822. Her intellectual and per- 
 sonal attractions gave her conspicuous 
 rank among the students of that fam- 
 ous Seminary. 
 
 In 1828 she became the wife of the 
 late Hon. William F. Havemeyer, of 
 New York, a man whose probity and 
 ability in public as in private affairs 
 have made his memory that of a most 
 honored, upright, and distinguished 
 citizen of the metropolis. 
 
 Eight sons and two daughters were 
 born of this marriage. The heart of 
 
 Mrs. Havemeyer was centered in her 
 home, while she recognized other and 
 larger demands, and in well-directed 
 charity did great and lasting good. 
 Hers was truly a life of faith as well as 
 of works. In all things she was earnest 
 and sincere, and her influence was po- 
 tent in molding the lives and characters 
 of her children. 
 
 Mrs. Havemeyer died at her home in 
 New York City, in 1894. Six children 
 survive her, John C, James, Charles, 
 and William F. Havemeyer with her 
 two daughters, Mrs. Armstrong and 
 Mrs. McClay. The subjoined letter 
 from the pen of Hon. Wm. H. Seward 
 to Mrs. Craig in 1 822 is treasured by her 
 family for its historical and personal 
 associations, and is of general interest 
 in its forecast of the logician of later 
 time. Mr. Seward was a law-student 
 of twenty, in Goshen, Orange Co., 
 where he was laying the foundation of 
 his brilliant career and national fame. 
 "Goshen, Nov. 7, 1821. 
 " Miss Sarah A. Craig : 
 
 " My sister has taught me to believe 
 you a friend, and I am now taking a 
 friend's privilege. In writing to you 
 I have several very substantial reasons. 
 Firstly, Cornelia says that you have not 
 received a single letter since you have 
 been at Troy. This I consider a bad 
 state of things for several very sub- 
 stantial reasons. Firstly, because I 
 think you deserve to receive as many 
 letters as any of your companions, and 
 I think so for many very substantial 
 reasons. Firstly, because I think you 
 are quite as affectionate to your friends 
 as any of those who are blessed with a 
 profusion of letters. This opinion is 
 founded on many very substantial rea- 
 sons. Firstly, I saw you shed twice as 
 many tears at parting with the friends 
 who so much neglect you as Cornelia 
 
56 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Seward did on leaving friends who give 
 her a lecture every week. But to re- 
 turn. I write to you, secondly, because 
 I love to write to my friends, for several 
 very substantial reasons. Firstly, be- 
 cause it pleases me, for as many good 
 reasons : firstly, because I think it 
 pleases them. And I think so because 
 I think I am a clever fellow, and my 
 friends are clever also, and it is a pity 
 we should not be better acquainted. 
 Thirdly, I write to you because it is a 
 pity you should lose an opportunity of 
 paying postage. Firstly, because you 
 ought to pay as much as Cornelia does. 
 The amount of postage one pays is 
 generally proof of the number of her 
 friends, excepting, always, dun letters ; 
 and now that I have begun I have a mind 
 to stop for several substantial reasons. 
 
 " Firstly, because my pen is so very 
 poor that I would as soon attempt to 
 go on a pilgrimage as to write a letter 
 with it ; and my pen has several very 
 substantial reasons for being so poor. 
 Firstly, because I have given my knife 
 to S. J. Wilkin. Firstly, because he 
 wanted it. Secondly, I have a great 
 mind to stop because my stove is cold ; 
 nor is my stove without its reasons for 
 being cold. Firstly, because its mas- 
 ters have been attending election, and 
 so busily kindling the flames of faction 
 that they have left the poor old stove 
 to the damp and cold of a November 
 night. I have a great mind to stop 
 because I am writing a great heap of 
 nonsense. Firstly, because my brain 
 is all in a tumult, and my brain says 
 it has its reasons. First, that it was 
 born so, and that is reason enough, 
 says the brain, without giving the rest. 
 Fourthly, I have a small notion that you 
 don't care how soon I stop. Firstly, 
 because you will call me an impudent 
 fellow for writing at all. 
 
 " And now, again, I have a great 
 mind to go on, because I have got so 
 nearly through my pilgrimage that 
 my pen cannot grow any worse. First- 
 ly, because it 's as bad now as it can 
 be. Secondly, I have a great mind to 
 go on because my stove is growing 
 hotter. Firstly, because I have put a 
 fire in it. Is not that reason enough ? 
 Thirdly, I have a great mind to go on 
 because that nonsense will be no new 
 thing to you. Firstly, because you are 
 very intimate with Cornelia Seward, 
 and secondly, you frequently are edi- 
 fied by the conversation of Frank Yvon- 
 nett. Fourthly, I have a great mind 
 to go on, because I would as willingly 
 be called impudent as not, because, 
 firstly, I know I am so. 
 
 " And now I confess to you I am in 
 a quandary, because, firstly and lastly, 
 two such great minds in one little body 
 are enough in all conscience to distract 
 it. What a quandary ! What a quan- 
 dary ! Spirits of Aristotle and Dr. 
 Watts, how shall I get out of this quan- 
 dary ? Alas, I am like my prototype, 
 the ass, who starved to death between 
 two as fine bundles of hay as ever 
 grew on Phil Fink's meadows, or fatted 
 mammoth oxen. How shall I get out 
 of this quandary? Why, jump out, 
 you fool. Aye, aye. And if ever I 
 get led by that bewildering devil. Lo- 
 gic, into such a scrape again, may I 
 starve to death as inevitably as the ass 
 above mentioned. Pa has just returned 
 from New York, saw your brother John, 
 and left him well. And now. Miss 
 Craig, if you will pardon this impudent 
 and unmeaning letter, I promise you 
 to give you a more rational one as soon 
 as I get a new knife, a load of wood, 
 and a sober brain.

RECORD OF PUPILS, 1822 TO 1832. 
 
 Crocker, Caroline L., 
 
 Daughter of Amos and Polly (Owen) 
 Crocker, was born in Lebanon, Madi- 
 son Co., N. Y. 
 
 She was a pupil in Troy Seminary 
 from 1830 to 183 1. 
 
 Her family lived in Hamilton, N. Y., 
 where her father was in prosperous cir- 
 cumstances. 
 
 Her lovely character and personal at- 
 tractiveness won for her many friends. 
 She married, in 1832, Joseph A. Mott, a 
 successful merchant of Hamilton. His 
 family were originally Quakers, and 
 Lucretia Mott was their kinswoman. 
 Children of Joseph A. and Caroline L. 
 (Crocker) Mott are, David Mott, of 
 Hamilton, and Janette Mott, now Mrs. 
 Cobb, of St. Louis. 
 
 Mrs. Mott died in Hamilton, in 1894, 
 in the same house in which she was 
 married in 1832. A quaint and inter- 
 esting souvenir of her girlhood, found 
 among her papers after her death, is 
 now treasured by her son — a small 
 square sheet of fine paper, with a print- 
 ed border and an allegorical picture 
 painted at the top, under which there 
 is, in Mrs. Willard's handwriting, a sin- 
 gle sentence embodying the wish that 
 Caroline Crocker might deserve and 
 attain prosperity and happiness. The 
 picture is a somev/hat realistic com- 
 position of lambs and doves in the 
 pink ribbon leading-strings of Cupid, 
 with the French legend, " Love unites 
 them." 
 
 The date of these illuminated good 
 wishes, "September 17, 1831," identi- 
 fies this leaflet as a congratulatory note 
 from Mrs. Willard to Miss Crocker on 
 her engagement to Mr. Mott. " All the 
 world loves a lover," and the recorded 
 instances are numerous of Mrs. Wil- 
 lard's affectionate interest in the matri- 
 
 57 
 
 monial anticipations of her girls. She 
 kept her own heart young. 
 
 Cushman, Sarah E., 
 
 Daughter of Seth Cushman, of Guild- 
 hall, Vt., was a pupil in Troy Semi- 
 nary from 1823 to 1824; married 
 
 McNab, and lived in Boston, Mass. 
 Probably not now living. 
 
 Cushman, Maria, 
 
 Daughter of Seth Cushman, lawyer, 
 of Guildhall, Vt., was born in Guild- 
 hall ; entered Troy Seminary in 1822 ; 
 married Russel Hopkinson, of Guild- 
 hall ; lived after marriage in Derby, 
 Vt. Died many years ago. 
 
 Davidson, Lucretia Maria, 
 
 Daughter of Dr. Oliver and Marga- 
 ret (Miller) Davidson, was born in 
 Plattsburgh, N. Y., September 28, 1808. 
 
 At the age of four years she was sent 
 to the Plattsburgh Academy, where 
 she learned to read and form Roman 
 letters in sand, after the Lancastrian 
 method. She was but six years old 
 when her mother found in a closet, 
 hidden behind piles of linen, Lucre- 
 tia's manuscript book, with pictures 
 sketched on one side of the leaf, and 
 on the other Roman letters, some up- 
 right, some horizontal, and others ob- 
 lique — not formed into words or spaced 
 into sentences, but which proved to be 
 poetical explanations, in rhyme and 
 metre, of the pictures on the other side. 
 
 Before she was twelve years old she 
 had read the English poets, besides 
 much history, sacred and profane, nov- 
 els, and works of imagination. The 
 earliest of her verses that have been 
 preserved were written in her ninth 
 year. 
 
 She was placed in Troy Seminary in 
 1824, and her rare gifts speedily won 
 
58 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 for her the favor and affection of 
 Mrs. Willard and her fellow-students. 
 The verses which follow, doubtless 
 familiar to all "Troy Seminary girls" 
 since her time, were written in 1824, 
 while she was herself a victim of the 
 discomforts and caprices herein enu- 
 merated. 
 
 " THE WEEK BEFORE EXAMINATION. 
 
 " One has a headache, one a cold. 
 One has a neck in flannel rolled ; 
 Ask the complaint, and you are told, 
 Next week 's Examination. 
 
 " One frets and scolds, one laughs and cries, 
 Another hopes, despairs and sighs ; 
 Ask but the cause, and each replies, 
 Next week's Examination. 
 
 " One bangs her books, then grasps them tight, 
 And studies morning, noon, and night. 
 As though she took some strange delight 
 In these Examinations. 
 
 " The books are marked, defaced, and thumbed. 
 Their brains with midnight tasks benumbed ; 
 Still all in one account is summed. 
 Next week's Examination. 
 
 " Thus speed ye all, and may the smile 
 Of approbation crown your toil. 
 And Hope the anxious hours beguile 
 Before Examination." 
 
 One is not surprised to learn that she 
 paid the penalty of precocious genius, 
 and was obliged to leave school in 1825, 
 owing to failing health, which culmina- 
 ted in her death in 1828. 
 
 In 1829, a collection of her verses, 
 with a biographical sketch of the young 
 author, was published by S. F. B, Morse, 
 entitled "Amir Khan, and other poems." 
 In 1843 lier biography was written by 
 Catharine M. Sedgwick, who said of her, 
 "Great as was her genius, there is 
 something yet more captivating in her 
 moral loveliness." The poet Sou they 
 in referring to her death wrote, " In our 
 own language, except in the career of 
 Chatterton and Kirk White, we can call 
 
 to mind no instance of so early, so ar- 
 dent, and so fatal a pursuit of intellect- 
 ual advancement." 
 
 A younger sister, Margaret Miller 
 Davidson, who was but two years old 
 when Lucretia died, also developed the 
 gift of poetry, attaining no little celeb- 
 rity. Her poems, which are said to 
 surpass those of her sister in fervor of 
 sentiment and flights of imagination, 
 were published, with a memoir by 
 Washington Irving. She died of con- 
 sumption in 1838. 
 
 Dean, Abby A., 
 
 Daughter of William Dean, was born

 and Mrs. Cotes, whose home was in 
 Springfield, Otsego Co., N. Y. 
 
 In 1845 Mrs. Cotes established a 
 Young Ladies' Seminary in Spring- 
 field. By a second marriage she be- 
 came the wife of Daniel Winsor, of 
 Springfield. She died in 1890, leaving 
 to those who loved her the legacy of a

 lives. One of her adopted children is

 The pathetic story of her life is em-

 " She was engaged to be married, but 
 being early stricken with paralysis, re- 
 fused to marry until she should regain 
 her health, which in the confidence of 
 her youth she hoped to do. She never 
 walked afterward, only moving from 
 her rolling-chair to her bed during

 chester after leaving Troy Seminary, 
 where she is remembered as beautiful 
 in person and lovely in character. She 
 died in her early womanhood, a victim 
 of consumption. 
 
 Jacques, Zipporah De Camp, 
 
 Daughter of Richard and Margaret 
 (Jacques) Jacques, was born in New 
 York City. Her father was a retired 
 merchant. She became a pupil of 
 Troy Seminary in 1823, making her 
 home at the time with her aunt, Mrs. 
 Freelove Rockwell, who lived in Troy.

 for wliom she tenderly cared until their 
 death. One of these aunts had pre- 
 viously married the Rev. John Carle, 
 and at her death in 1870 she made 
 her niece her principal heir. From 
 that time Miss Jacques lived with her 
 nephew, Richard D. Jacques, of Lyn- 
 brook, N. J., until her own death, which 
 took place in 1880. In writing of his 
 aunt, Mr. Jacques says : 
 
 " She seemed to date the important 
 events of her history from the time 
 of her attendance upon Mrs. Willard's 
 school. Mrs. Willard's personality had 
 made a deep impression upon her, and 
 she often referred to the strong influ- 
 ence of that superior woman upon the 
 after lives of her pupils." 
 
 Judson, Julia M., 
 
 Daughter of Daniel and Sarah (Plant) 
 Judson, was born in Stratford, Conn. 
 From childhood she was fond of books, 
 and her early years were passed in 
 study under the guidance of teachers 
 in the village academy, until she was 
 qualified at sixteen years of age to 
 enter Troy Seminary, passing success- 
 fully the public examination with the 
 class of 1872. She returned in 1828, 
 for a course in Trigonometry and Co- 
 nic Sections. 
 
 Two years later she married the 
 Rev. John H. Hunter, of Fairfield, 
 Conn., and later of Bridgeport, Conn. 
 Of this marriage were nine children. 
 Mrs. Hunter was left a widow in 1872. 
 
 Referring to her early life and con- 
 nection with the Seminary, Mrs. Hun- 
 ter writes : 
 
 " There still remains memory of the 
 eagerness with which I embraced the 
 opportunity of going to Troy, with its 
 promise of coveted facilities for higher 
 education. . . . Even now, after the 
 lapse of nearly seventy years, memory 
 
 turns a lingering, longing look to those 
 joyous days when I was a happy stu- 
 dent of Troy Seminary."

 she made her home in the family of 
 Mrs. Richard Fitch, of Troy. 
 
 She married, in 1834, Piatt Bull, who 
 died in 1861. Mrs. Bull's home after 
 marriage was in Mobile, Ala. Sorrow 
 in her husband's death, and troubles 
 incident to the late war, laid upon her 
 burdens too heavy for her gentle, de- 
 pendent nature, and she passed away 
 in 1868. 
 
 Of a large family of eleven childen, 
 but two sons and three daughters sur- 
 vive their parents. A daughter, Mrs.

 of a-ge, greatly to her children's admi- 
 ration, she would repeat verbatim 
 paragraph after paragraph of logic 
 which she had not seen since her 
 school-days, and as readily recite gen- 
 eological tables as though learned but

 to how it was possible to remember so 
 perfectly what was learned so long ago, 
 she replied, ' I learned to study at Mrs. 
 Willard's.' " 
 
 Knickerbocker, Elizabeth,

 Her father was a man of prominent 
 and responsible position, and is said to 
 have been the original of Irving's 
 " Diedrick Knickerbocker " in his his- 
 tory of New York. 
 
 So munificent was his hospitality, 
 and so gracious and grand was he as a 
 host, that he was styled the Republican 
 Prince.

 dence, Englewood, N. J. 
 
 Lassell, Martha, 
 
 Daughter of Elias and Martha (Lamb) 
 Lassell, was born in Troy, N. Y. Her 
 connection with the Seminary dates 
 from its beginning in 1822, when its 
 recitations were conducted in the old 
 Court House, opposite the present site 
 of the Seminary buildings. The orig- 
 inal structure which Mrs. Willard had 
 secured for the permanent establish- 
 ment of her school, was undergoing re- 
 pairs. Meanwhile, the Court House 
 was made available. The school as- 
 sembled in the Grand Jury room at 
 five o'clock in the afternoon, for pray- 
 ers and dismissal. One mischievous 
 scholar claimed to have seen through 
 a key-hole the ghost of prisoners 
 coming up through the floor, and en- 
 tering the dock before the Judge. 
 This effort to produce a sensation com- 
 ing to Mr. Willard's ears, the young 
 girl was herself arraigned, and frankly 
 confessed that her story was only the 
 creation of her own imagination. 
 
 The Erie Canal was opened while Miss 
 Lassell was at school in Troy. Gove- 
 nor Clinton invited Mrs. Willard, with 
 her scholars, to celebrate the event by 
 a sail up to " The Nine Locks." When 
 La Fayette visited the sehool in 1824, 
 
 Miss Lassell was still at the Seminary, 
 and participated in the ovation paid 
 to him. The young girls were dressed 
 in white frocks and gay ribbons. A 
 bower of evergreen was erected across 
 the Park to the Seminary building. 
 
 Mrs. Willard, attended by her teach- 
 ers, met General La Fayette at the 
 north gate, while the scholars followed 
 in line, singing an ode of welcome 
 which Mrs. Willard had written for the 
 occasion. In the days of Mrs. Emma 
 Willard's personal supervision of the 
 school, she was accustomed to meet 
 her scholars on Wednesday of each 
 week in the large examination room, 
 for a talk on physical and moral cul- 
 ture, and general deportment at home 
 and abroad. Those lectures, possibly 
 unheeded then, bore good fruit in after 
 years. 
 
 Many a grandmother of to-day will 
 recall the courtly bearing of Mrs. Wil- 
 lard as she entered the great hall, where 
 the majesty of her fine presence inspir- 
 ed her young admirers with an ambi- 
 tion to cultivate elegance of manners. 
 
 The rules of the school in those days 
 required simplicity of dress, a devia- 
 tion from which was regarded as a 
 misdemeanor. In the summer term 
 a simple print or gingham was the 
 regulation dress, and in the winter 
 some woollen fabric, but without 
 finery. Miss Lassell continued her 
 relations with Troy Seminary, (with 
 brief interruptions,) until 1827. In 
 1834 she married John T. Parker, of 
 Troy. Six sons and one daughter were 
 born of this marriage, all of whom are 
 residents of Troy. 
 
 Mrs. Parker's home is now with her 
 daughter, Mrs. Rousseau. Address,

 Place, 8th St., Troy, N. Y.

 Leavenworth, Rachel Lucretia, 
 
 Daughter of Gen. Nathan and Bet- 
 sey (Hurlburt) Leavenworth, was born

 1830. 
 
 In 183 1 she married Francis Will- 
 son, then a merchant, but in later life, 
 a farmer. He died in 1864. Two chil-

 Perry, Congregational clergyman in 
 Swanton, Vt., later Prof, of Zoology in 
 Harvard College) and Henry Miller 
 Willson, of South Burlington, Vt. 
 
 Mrs. Rachel Leavenworth Willson 
 died in Hinesburgh in 1886, where she 
 had passed her long and useful life, 
 during which she never shrank from 
 the responsibilities which the years 
 laid upon her. Her only daughter, 
 Mrs. Lucretia Perry, died early, leav- 
 ing a young son to the care of his 
 grandmother ; and later, the three 
 motherless children of her son found 
 in her the tender friend and succorer 
 of their helpless years. 
 
 A woman of noble nature and Chris- 
 tian grace, her memory is honored by 
 her descendants.

 John Jermain. 
 
 Address, in 1896, Mrs. Frances H. 
 Jermain, Spuyten Duyvil, N. Y. 
 
 Mather, Harriet, 
 
 Daughter of Col. Bethel and Huldah 
 (Smith) Mather, was born in Schaghti- 
 coke, N. Y. 
 
 She was first placed in the school of 
 Mrs. Willard, in Waterford, N. Y., 
 and so highly did her parents esteem 
 the opportunities of the institution that 
 when it was decided to remove it to 
 Troy, she continued to be enrolled 
 among its pupils. 
 
 In 1828 she married Ephraim Cong- 
 don, of Schaghticoke, in which place 
 she continued to reside during her hus- 
 band's life-time. In her widowhood 
 Mrs. Congdon's home was with her 
 daughter, Mrs. Paul Worth, of Brook- 
 lyn, N. Y. She remained with her 
 daughter until her death, which oc- 
 curred in 1 88 1. 
 
 The descendants of Mrs. Congdon 
 are in possession of an interesting and 
 much valued souvenir of her school- 
 
 days. It is a receipted bill paid by Col. 
 Mather, the father of Mrs. Congdon, to 
 Mrs. Willard for the board and tuition 
 of Harriet and her sister Ann Eliza 
 Mather in 18 19, at the rate of $3 50 per 
 week. This little item of expenditure 
 from the Mather Exchequer forcibly 
 contrasts the past and present. Board- 
 ing-schools of to-day are conducted on 
 a more luxurious plan. The simple 
 appointments of a student's room in 
 Troy Seminary in 1825 or 1835 would 
 look primitive indeed to a Vassar girl, 
 and the Menu of the Troy Seminary 
 dining-room,while abundant and whole- 
 some, might not include rarities, at 
 $3 50 per week. 
 
 But luxuries are enhanced by their 
 scarcity, and in this far-off day the wri- 
 ter recalls the mark in her calendar 
 which registered Wednesday's gener- 
 ous lunch of delicious fresh gingerbread 
 and Friday night's " Teachers' Meeting 
 and Apple-sauce." 
 
 Mather, Elizabeth, 
 
 Daughter of Capt. Eleazer and Fanny 
 (Williams) Mather, born in Brooklyn, 
 Conn., was a pupil in Troy Seminary 
 in 1830. In 1838 she married James 
 Hughes, of the " Jackson Standard " of 
 Jackson, Ohio. In 1849 he conducted 
 the " Minnesota Chronicle," of St. Paul, 
 Minn., where he was ably assisted by 
 his wife. 
 
 Later the family home was estab- 
 lished in Hudson, Wis., with the early 
 history of which place Mrs. Hughes 
 was closely identified. A quiet, noble, 
 Christian woman, her influence was 
 potent for good throughout the com- 
 munity in which she lived. 
 
 Twelve children were born of this 
 marriage, nine of whom have lived to 
 fill responsible positions in the world. 
 
 The faithful mother went to her final

 rest in 1893, but the memory of her 
 gentle, unobtrusive and unselfish life 
 is lovingly cherished. 
 
 May, Judith Shaler, 
 
 Was born in Union Village, Wash- 
 ington Co., N. Y. She was a pupil in 
 Troy Seminary in 1830. 
 
 Married, in 1834, the Rev. Oliver Stan- 
 ley Powell, at that time connected with 
 the Home Mission work in western 
 New York, under the auspices of 
 the Presbyterian and Congregational 
 Churches. Later he went to Cincinnati, 
 Ohio, where he founded the Bethel 
 work for the sailors and boatmen on 
 the western lakes and rivers. During 
 her residence in Cincinnati, Mrs. Pow- 
 ell enjoyed the intimate friendship of 
 Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, and the 
 sisters Alice and Phoebe Gary. In 
 1840 the family removed to Philadel- 
 phia, where the Rev. Mr. Powell estab- 
 lished the Sabbath Association. In all 
 of his religious enterprises he found in 
 his excellent wife a most eificient and 
 sympathetic helper. 
 
 The children of Mr. and Mrs. Powell 
 were the Rev. Samuel Wells Powell, (a 
 remarkable linguist, who read seven- 
 teen languages — died in 1893,) and 
 George May Powell, President of Arbi- 
 tration Council of Philadelphia. Ofiice 
 address, 1224 Chestnut street. 
 
 McDowell, Anne, 
 
 Eldest daughter of Judge John and 
 Lucy Todd (Starling) McDowell, was 
 born in Mercer Co., Ky., in 1810. 
 
 She was a pupil of Troy Seminary in 
 1825 and 1826. 
 
 In 1895, when in her eighty-fifth 
 year, her mind and memory still potent 
 and clear, she gavea simple recital of the 
 incidents of her early life, her daugh- 
 ter acting as amanuensis. The general 
 
 reader will find interest in this frag- 
 ment of personal history, touchingly 
 prefaced by the daughter, who says : 
 
 " I have written this under the dicta- 
 tion of my mother, with eyes many 
 times blinded with tears. She is very, 
 very feeble — could only tell me a few 
 facts at a time ; but with most of them 
 I was familiar, for as a child I loved to 
 have her tell me of her school-days." 
 
 Thus runs the mother's story. 
 
 " My father and mother came to 
 Columbus, O., when I was three years 
 old, and I lived there attending private 
 schools and one in Lancaster, O., until 
 I was sixteen, when my Uncle Lyne 
 Starling, who was my guardian, (my fa- 
 ther having died three years before), 
 one of the founders of Columbus, took 
 me to Mrs. Willard's School in Troy, 
 N. Y. This was in 1825. We went in 
 a carriage to Sandusky, O., to take a 
 boat to Buffalo, N. Y., from there we 
 went by canal and stage to Troy, N. Y. 
 I was in the Seminary in 1825 and part 
 of 1826. I was married Dec. 20, 1828, 
 in Columbus, O., to John Winston 
 Price, of Hanover Co., Virginia, lived 
 in Columbus one year after marriage, 
 then came to Hillsborough, O., where 
 I have lived ever since, sixty-six years. 
 I have had ten children, six of whom 
 lived to be grown. Eilza Winston 
 married James O'Hara, of Pittsburgh ; 
 Anne McDowell married Albert H. 
 Childs, of Pittsburgh ; Cornelia Dabney 
 married Jacob J. Rugsby, of Dayton, 
 O. (now of Hillsborough ;) Ellen Mor- 
 ris married George W. Gill, of Colum- 
 bus O.; John Winston Price, of Hills- 
 borough, O.; and Overton Starling 
 Price. My oldest and youngest are 
 not now living. At the time I went 
 to the Seminary, Gen. La Fayette was 
 on a visit to this country. He had

 just visited Mrs. Willard, and I under- 
 stood they were charmed with each 
 other. 
 
 " Among the girls who were attend- 
 ing the school, I remember Marcia 
 Van Ness, daughter of the Governor 
 of Vermont. Her sister Cornelia had 
 graduated the year before. 
 
 " Two daughters of Governor Worth- 
 ington of Ohio, Eleanor and Margaret, 
 were my room-mates. Both are now 
 dead. Margaret married Edward Mans- 
 field, of Cincinnati, O., Eleanor mar- 
 ried Dr. Watts, of Chillicothe, O., A 
 courtly gentleman he was too ! 
 
 " Jane Skinner, daughter of the Gov- 
 ernor of Georgia, was there too, and 
 EfBe Irving, niece of Washington 
 Irving, and a relative of Philip Hone, 
 of New York city, whose house was 
 the rendezvous of all the noted men 
 and women of that time. Effie was an 
 orphan, and always spent her vacations 
 there. It was her home when not at 
 school. She told me many interesting 
 anecdotes which appeared in the very 
 entertaining life of Philip Hone, pub- 
 lished six or seven years ago. Eflfie 
 was also the niece of James K. Pauld- 
 ing, who in his day was quite a writer. 
 He was, I think, a naval officer, but 
 had died when I knew Effie at school. 
 Sara Marsh, too, how well I remem- 
 ber her sweet pretty face and hand- 
 some figure ! Jane Howell, another 
 whose kindness I can never forget. 
 She lived in Canandaigua, N. Y. 
 
 " On my way home from school we 
 found at Canandaigua that my trunk 
 had been left behind. We were obliged 
 to wait there for four days, while my 
 grandfather McDowell (who had come 
 on to Troy for me) went back to look 
 foi* it. So many many girls of that 
 long ago can I see, whose images hang 
 on memory's walls. Many of them

 very beautiful pictures too ; but I will 
 only mention one more, Mary Wollston- 
 craft, the daughter of an Englishman, 
 captain of a company, who came to 
 this country in 18 12. He married and 
 settled in West Point. He had brought 
 money to this country, and had bought 
 a large tract of land in the Lehigh 
 Valley of Pennsylvania, the anthracite 
 coal region. 
 
 " Mary was five years old when she 
 accompanied her father to New Or- 
 leans, where he took yellow fever, or 
 perhaps contracted it on the boat going 
 down the river. In a few days he diied. 
 They had no friends there. There 
 was nothing about him to identify him. 
 He was hastily buried with the other 
 victims. Poor little Mary was taken 
 by a Baptist preacher and his wife, 
 being bound to them. Mrs. Wollston- 
 craft, her mother, sought in every way 
 to find out what had become of her 
 darling little Mary, but in vain. 
 
 " After several years, through the 
 offer of a large reward published in the 
 New Orleans papers, she was recovered. 
 
 " Mary never could bear the name 
 of religion, for she could not forget the 
 unkindness, even cruelty and neglect, 
 which she suffered from this Baptist 
 minister and his wife. They had never 
 allowed her to learn to read. She re- 
 turned with her mother to West Point, 
 and at the age of sixteen was sent 
 to Mrs. Willard's school. She always 
 found in nae a sympathetic listener, 
 and I used to try to help her master 
 her lessons, much too difficult for one 
 whose early education had been so sadly 
 neglected. To make a long story short, 
 she met in Troy, Lieut. Simms, of Mis- 
 sissippi, stationed at West Point, who 
 fell in love with her, and they were 
 married in Troy. When on her way 
 to her new home she wrote me a long

 letter in pencil, written in the pilot- 
 house of the boat on the Mississippi 
 River. That is the last I ever heard of 
 one who was the niece of the celebra- 
 ted Mary Wollstoncraft, wife of Wil- 
 liam Godwin, whose daughter was the 
 wife of the poet Shelly. I remember 
 Aaron Burr bringing his two nieces to 
 the school to visit some of the girls. I 
 looked at him with blended feelings of 
 contempt and admiration. He was small 
 in stature, but had a handsome face." 
 
 A yet deeper pathos attaches to these 
 personal recollections, through another 
 letter from the daughter, under date of 
 September 25, 1895, in which she says, 
 " The end came for my mother Sep- 
 tember 19, so peacefully, so gently!" 
 
 A woman of the old regime, she was 
 spared any decay of her mental facul- 
 ties, and passed away in a serene old 
 age, like a sheaf ripe unto the harvest 
 and garnered in, leaving a legacy of 
 precious memories to her children and 
 children's children. 
 
 Mrs. Price had held for a long period 
 a notable place in the history of Hills- 
 borough, and ranked among its pio- 
 neers. Her home was for more than 
 fifty years in the same house, a quaint, 
 old-fashioned mansion of the style of 
 early days.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Mrs. Hubbard, though a woman of 
 delicate organization, was possessed of 
 rare intelligence and efficiency. It 
 was her habit to travel with her hus- 
 band in his frequent journeyings. Al- 
 though they never visited Europe, they 
 knew their own country thoroughly. 
 During her long residence in Wash- 
 ington, in the official life of her hus- 
 band, Mrs. Hubbard rendered him val- 
 uable assistance in his duties, and en- 
 tertained with a gracious and cordial 
 hospitality his numerous friends. She 
 was left a widow in 1856. She contin- 
 ued to make her home in Middletown 
 until her death, in 1885. 
 
 Both Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard were 
 members of the Bible Society, Tract 
 Society, Home and Foreign Missions, 
 and were active and benevolent in all 
 enterprises pertaining to good citizen- 
 ship. After her husband's death Mrs. 
 Hubbard retained her interest in, and 
 gave largely to, every cause for which 
 he worked. 
 
 In a funeral tribute, paid to her by 
 her pastor of many years, are these 
 words : " Her crowning glory was that 
 she laid her rare gifts at the feet of 
 her Master. . . . After walking for 
 nearly forty righteous years in the fel- 
 lowship of the church, she remem- 
 bered its poor saints in her dying 
 testament."

 ing tribute to her memory the " Hart- 
 ford Courant " says : 
 
 " No words can measure the sweet 
 and helpful influence she has exerted

 was an inspiration to her pastor, a pil- 
 lar to her church, a sweet center of 
 love and union to all charities in the 
 village. Her broad tolerance of oth- 
 er's creeds, and an all-prevailing chari- 
 ty ' which thinketh no evil ' were her 
 crowning attributes." Spite of increas- 
 ing years she kept her own heart young 
 by loving ministry to others, and sur- 
 rounded herself with hosts of friends.

 Paine, Lucretia, 
 
 Daughter of Amasa and Elizabeth 
 (Homer) Paine, was a pupil of Mrs. 
 Willard from 1820 to 1822. Married 
 Col. William T. Willard. Died in New 
 York city. 
 
 Palmer, Caroline, 
 
 Daughter of James L. Palmer, M. D., 
 and Mary (Chamberlain) Palmer. Was 
 born in Waterville, N. Y. 
 
 Her father's professional education 
 was pursued in Paris at the early day 
 when sailing vessels were the only 
 means of transportation across the 
 ocean. Caroline Palmer was an only 
 daughter in a family of four brothers. 
 Prior to going to Troy she attended 
 the village school in Waterville. She 
 was a pupil in Troy Seminary in the 
 first year of its establishment. In 1827 
 she married Henry Brown Clarke, a 
 native of Cooperstown, N. Y., but at 
 the time of his marriage a resident of 
 Utica, N. Y. 
 
 Mr. and Mrs. Clarke were the friends 
 of Hon. Wm. H. Seward and wife. 
 Mrs. Seward and Mrs. Clarke had been 
 school friends and room-mates in Troy 
 Seminary. They were married on 
 the same day, and made their wed- 
 ding-journey together from Utica to 
 Niagara Falls, going by private car- 
 riages, with the occasional relief of 
 horseback riding. In 1832 Mr. Clarke 
 decided to make his home in Chicago, 
 111. The journey thither from Utica 
 was accomplished in two weeks, from 
 Utica to Buffalo by the primitive 
 stage-coach. They had expected to 
 continue on their way by the lakes, 
 but being late in the season the cap- 
 tain of the steamboat decided to go no 
 farther than Detroit, Mich. There a 
 carriage and horses were purchased 
 for the family's transportation, and a 
 
 87 
 
 wagon for baggage. When a house 
 was to be built Mr. Clarke found it 
 necessary to send to New York for 
 plans, carpenters, and masons, (a tem- 
 porary log-house being put up for the 
 workmen to live in,) and when the 
 house was finished they packed their 
 tools and returned to New York. Of 
 ten children born to Mr. and Mrs. 
 Clarke, eight sons and two daughters, 
 two sons and one daughter alone sur- 
 vive. Mrs. Caroline Palmer Clarke 
 died in Buffalo, N. Y., in i860. A 
 daughter, Mrs. Edward Forman, resides 
 at 2,266 Prairie Ave., Chicago, 111. 
 Patterson, Eunice Ann, 
 
 Daughter of Steven and Lucy Water- 
 man, (Adgate) Patterson, was born in 
 New Lebanon, N. Y. A pupil of Troy 
 Seminary in 1829 and 1830. Married, 
 in 1833, Mayor R. H. Wood, of Adams, 
 Mass. Five children. Mrs. Wood was 
 a woman of noble personality, with a 
 far-reaching influence for good. 
 
 Perhaps her characteristic quality 
 was a sense of justice in her relations 
 to others. 
 
 Vice in every form aroused her out- 
 spoken indignation, but she was merci- 
 ful and helpful. She endured great 
 physical suffering for many years with 
 patient resignation. She died in 1873. 
 
 Patterson, Mary Stearns, 
 
 Sister of Dr. Oliver Stearns Patter- 
 son, was an early pupil in Troy Semi- 
 nary. She was endowed with a beauti- 
 ful voice, and excelled in musical skill. 
 She was one of the young ladies se- 
 lected to sing at a commencement of 
 Hamilton College, on which occasion 
 she took cold and never sang after- 
 wards. Nor was she ever able again 
 to play the piano, being disabled by 
 rheumatism resulting from this attack. 
 
EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Although she lived to more than seven- 
 ty years, she never regained her health 
 or voice. 
 
 Patty, Sarah Stockton, 
 
 Daughter of John and Hannah 
 White (Stockton,) Patty, was born in 
 Auburn, N. Y. Entered Troy Seminary 
 in 1828, at the age of eighteen, having 
 previously attended the village school 
 in Auburn. 
 
 She remaind in Troy one year. Mar- 
 ried in 1832, N. D. Carhart, of Roches- 
 ter. Children, three sons and two 
 daughters ; family residence in Au- 
 burn until 1875. Widowed in 1874. 
 
 For many years Mrs. Carhart has 
 been a member of the Presbyterian 
 Church, in which her husband served 
 as an Elder. Since her widowhood 
 her home has been with her eldest 
 son. Address, in 1896, Mrs. Sarah 
 Stockton Carhart, 27 Monroe Avenue, 
 Rochester, N. Y. 
 
 Patty, Susan Young, 
 
 Daughter of John and Hannah White 
 (Stockton) Patty, was born in Auburn, 
 N. Y. She attended a Quaker school 
 in Skaneatales, N. Y., preparatory to 
 entering Troy Seminary in 1823, where 
 she continued through the year ending 
 1824. 
 
 In 1826 she married the Rev. Mal- 
 colm Neill MacLaren, D. D., at his 
 home in Auburn, going with her hus- 
 band to his first charge in Broadalbin, 
 Montgomery Co., N. Y. In creed Dr. 
 MacLaren was Presbyterian. Besides 
 two or three early changes, he was pas- 
 tor of the First Presbyterian Church 
 of Rochester, N. Y., of the Reformed 
 Church of Brooklyn, N. Y., and of the 
 Preformed Church in Newburgh on- 
 the- Hudson. In 1871 Dr. MacLaren 
 retired from active duty, and with his 
 
 family took possession of the home- 
 stead in Auburn which Mrs. MacLaren 
 inherited from her father. The chil- 
 dren of this family now living are 
 Mrs. Hannah (MacLaren) Shepard 
 Wolff, of Washington, D. C, Mrs. 
 Margaret (MacLaren) Nelson, of Au- 
 burn, N. Y., and Malcolm Neill Mac- 
 Laren, of Milwaukee, Wis. In 1824 
 Madame Willard on her way to Niag- 
 ara Falls spent a day in the home of 
 her pupil, Miss Patty, which visit is 
 one of Mrs. MacLaren's treasured rem- 
 iniscences. 
 
 Mrs. MacLaren belongs to the 
 " Daughters of the Revolution," by 
 virtue of being a descendant of Han- 
 nah Arnett of revolutionary fame, 
 and her grandfather was surgeon in 
 the war of 1776. While her life may 
 not have been one of startling events, 
 it is doubtless true that in her hus- 
 band's long pastorate of forty -five years 
 the shady as well as the sunny side 
 must have sometimes revealed itself to 
 her, as a pastor's wife. It is notable 
 cause for congratulation that she is 
 enjoying a serene old age in the home 
 where she was born and married. 
 
 Mrs. MacLaren's recollections of Mrs. 
 Willard, even now, when nearly ninety 
 years old, are very tender. She had 
 just lost her mother, when in 1823 she 
 went to Troy, and grief and home- 
 sickness were very heavy upon her. 
 She has always remembered with 
 gratitude Mrs. Willard's thoughtful 
 kindness in having a little bed made 
 for her in her own room, and for two 
 weeks Mrs. Willard comforted her and 
 cared for her, as her special charge. 
 
 Among the pupils in school with her 
 were the Misses Eaton, nieces of Aaron 
 Burr, who came once a fortnight to spend 
 the afternoon and dine with them.

 Mrs. Hannah McLaren Wolff, daugh- 
 ter of Mrs. McLaren, writes in a letter 
 of May 24, 1 896 : 
 
 " Mother, who entered upon her nine- 
 tieth year last Christmas eve, is a won- 
 derfully well-preserved woman for her 
 years. She is very well, keeps up her 
 interest in affairs, is just as placid and 
 sweet as an old woman with heaven 
 within her should be, and awaits the 
 future with serene hopefulness." 
 
 Address, Mrs. Malcolm Neill NcLar- 
 en, 30 Genesee Street, Auburn, N. Y. 
 
 Payne, Susanna Martin, 
 
 Daughter of John and Mary (Martin) 
 Payne, was born in Rahway, N. J. 
 Her parents lived in New York city. 
 Her mother belonged to the sect of 
 Quakers before her marriage, but lost 
 " her right " in the Society of Friends 
 by her marriage. 
 
 She lost her mother when she was 
 but two years old, and soon after was 
 placed in the care of a maternal uncle, 
 James Martin, a highly esteemed Qua- 
 ker merchant in Philadelphia. She 
 attended the famous West Town Board- 
 ing School, regarded as the foremost 
 educational institution of the Society 
 of Friends. 
 
 Philip and Rachel Price were in 
 charge of the school. It was here that 
 Susanna Payne met Isaac Price (the 
 son of Philip and Rachel Price), whom 
 she married in 1822. Rachel and James 
 Martin were the children of this mar- 
 riage. Isaac Price died suddenly in 
 1825. In 1830 the Price family estab- 
 lished a boarding-school for girls at 
 West Chester, Penn. To qualify her- 
 self for an advanced position in this 
 school, the young widow of Isaac Price 
 entered Troy Seminary, probably about 
 1829. 
 
 In 183 1 she married John P. Smith, 
 
 also a teacher in the Price school. 
 Later, Mr. and Mrs. Smith succeeded 
 to the charge of a girls' boarding-school 
 in Wilmington, Del., founded by Sam- 
 uel Hilles, a Friend. They continued 
 here until the declining health of Mrs. 
 Smith in 1837 compelled her retirement. 
 She died in 1838, in Philadelphia. 
 " None knew her but to love her, 
 None named her but to praise." 
 
 Her son, James M. Price, of 125 S. 
 Fifth Street, Philadelphia, says, 
 
 " I stand, at nearly seventy, in the 
 front rank of my own generation of the 
 Price family." 
 
 Pearson, Arabella M., 
 
 Daughter of George and Lucy Moore 
 (Shewmake) Pearson, was born in Au- 
 gusta, Ga. Her father was a native of 
 Sheffield, England. He died when his 
 daughter Arabella was but two years 
 of age. She was nine years old when 
 she was placed in Troy Seminary, where 
 she remained till 1829, when she was 
 suddenly called home. She did not 
 return to Troy, but entered the school 
 of Mrs. Twiss, in Sparta, Ga. Mrs. 
 Twiss, who was before marriage Eliza- 
 beth Sherrill, was educated in Mrs. 
 Willard's Seminary, and had been a 
 teacher there. Later Miss Pearson 
 pursued a " finishing course " at Mad- 
 ame Griland's, of Philadelphia. 
 
 In 1832 she married G. A. B. Walker, 
 son of Hon. Freeman Walker, of Geor- 
 gia. Of the thirteen children born of 
 this marriage, four survive. 
 
 The family residence was for some 
 years in Alabama, but the greater part 
 of Mrs. Walker's life has been passed 
 in Augusta. 
 
 Recalling her early associations with 
 Troy Seminary, Mrs. Walker, now in 
 her eighty-first year, gives the following 
 reminiscence of Mrs. Emma Willard :

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 " She dressed in perfect taste, always 
 in plain, elegant black, with beautiful 
 snow-white handkerchiefs worn a la 
 surplice. 
 
 " After her return from France she 
 wore turbans, and adopted the French 
 style of dress. The letters v^^hich she re- 
 ceived from Gen. La Fayette were read 
 aloud by her to the assembled school, 
 and the young ladies were required to 
 transcribe them. I did not appre- 
 ciate this privilege then, and to my 
 regret, did not preserve the docu- 
 ments." 
 
 Mrs. Arabella Pearson Walker in 
 1895 was living at 1,329 Broadway, Au- 
 gusta, Ga.

 the enjoyment of comfortable health 
 and cheerful memories. She says of 
 her Troy days in 1829 and 1830, " The 
 year was a very happy one ; Mrs. Wil- 
 lard was a lovely, handsome person ; 
 Sarah L. Hudson was my favorite 
 teacher ; part of the time I roomed with 
 her."

 Both husband and child deceased. 
 
 About 1832 Mrs. Warne became the 
 wife of Dr. E. Marks, of South Caro- 
 lina, and, with him, established the 
 South Carolina Female College, in 
 Barhamville, near Columbia, S. C. 
 This school, generously equipped in 
 every particular, with an able force of 
 experienced teachers, followed the 
 methods of Troy Seminary, and be- 
 came famous throughout the Southern 
 States, Mrs. Marks taking rank as a 
 successful educator with Mrs. Emma 
 Willard and Mrs. Alexander Lincoln 
 Phelps. There were five children of 
 Mrs. Marks' second marriage, only two 
 now living. Mrs. Marks died in 1878,

 Piatt, Mary L, 
 
 Daughter of Judge Piatt, a promi-

 burgh, N. Y., (for whom the town was 
 named) was among the early pupils of 
 Troy Seminary, entering from Platts- 
 burgh in 1823, and graduating in 1825. 
 
 Her history, as given by an intimate 
 friend of her later years, furnishes an 
 interesting and romantic chapter. A 
 charming personality attracted many 
 suitors, among whom was one, John 
 Morgan, a young lawyer of unusual 
 promise, and of excellent family, but 
 poor in this world's goods. The young 
 lovers were mutually attracted, but the 
 father of Miss Piatt, having more am- 
 bitious views for his daughter, pre- 
 vailed upon her to marry Jas. Camp- 
 bell, the heir to great wealth. This 
 union proved an unfortunate one, Mr. 
 Campbell dying in a few years, leav- 
 ing his widow, with her little son, once 
 more dependent upon her father, who 
 had himself experienced financial re- 
 verses. Mrs. Campbell remained in 
 her father's home several years, receiv- 
 ing a small salary as organist of the 
 Episcopal Church in Plattsburg, of 
 which she was a most devout member. 
 
 Meanwhile, the lover of her youth 
 had prospered, acquiring fame, title 
 and fortune ; and when, after many 
 years, the two " met by chance " on a 
 steamer on Lake Michigan, each found 
 the other loyal to early memories, and 
 the old love was revived. Soon after, 
 Mrs. Campbell became Mrs. John Mor- 
 gan, and Plattsburgh continued to be 
 the home of her declining years. 
 
 Mrs. Morgan died in the seventies. 
 Her husband. Judge Morgan, survived 
 her but a short time.

 "The record is a very simple one," 
 writes the friend who furnishes the

 Churches in New Harley, Glenville,

 helpmeet. To her clear mind, gentle 
 manners, and noble character, were 
 added an ardent and devout piety.

 wise counsel, the courage of her con- 
 victions, her piety, and good works.

 Hill, Conn. 
 
 Rice, Araminta P., 
 
 Daughter of Obed and Sarah (Kin- 
 ney,) Rice, was born in Troy, N. Y. 
 She was left an orphan when very 
 young ; was a pupil of Troy Seminary 
 from 1824 to 1826, (a room-mate and 
 close friend of Sarah Lueretia Hud- 
 son,who became Mrs. John H. Willard.) 
 After her graduation in 1 826 Miss Rice 
 taught in the Seminary until her del- 
 icate health induced her to seek the 
 benefit of a Southern climate. 
 
 She was a teacher in Barhamville, 
 S. C, in the school of Mrs. Marks. 
 Later she taught in New Orleans. 
 
 She was twice married. In 1836 to 
 Joseph G. Walton, of New Orleans, 
 who died in 1842. A daughter of this 
 marriage is Miss Mary Walton, of New 
 Orleans. In 1845 Mrs. Walton became 
 the wife of L. J. Webster. Two sons, 
 G. T. Webster, and F. B. Webster, are 
 of the second marriage, and survive 
 their mother, whose death occurred in 
 New Orleans, in 1893. 
 
 Riker, Anna Excerea, 
 
 Daughter of Hon. Richard and Jen- 
 net (Phoenix), Riker, was born in New 
 York city. 
 
 Her father was Recorder of the City 
 of New York, formerly District At- 
 torney, and Prosecuting Judge in both 
 of the Sessions Courts. 
 
 In 1 812, (at three years of age,) she 
 entered a French school taught by 
 Mile. Vaillant, a French refugee, near 
 Fulton Street, where her father then 
 resided. She became a pupil of Troy 
 Seminary in 1822, and remained until 
 1824. After leaving Troy Seminary, 
 at the age of fifteen years, she studied 
 at home under foreign masters. She 
 
 married early in life Samuel Spring, 
 M. D., eldest son of the Rev. Gardiner 
 Spring, Pastor of " Brick Church, New 
 York city. Of this marriage is one 
 daughter, Anna Riker Spring. 
 
 Although educated to the medical 
 profession. Dr. Spring quickly turned 
 his attention to literature, in which 
 pursuit his wife was his constant and 
 most efficient helper, particularly in the 
 work of translating from the French 
 and German languages. 
 
 Mrs. Spring died in New York in 
 1896, in her eighty-seventh year. 
 
 The following account of Mrs. 
 Spring's participation in social and 
 public functions, which are now his- 
 toric, and the record of her active and 
 cheerful old age, furnished by her 
 daughter, will be read with interest : 
 
 " My mother was considered a belle 
 in society, and through her father's 
 position in public life, she, as the old- 
 est daughter, was brought prominently 
 forward. She saw a great deal of Gen. 
 La Fayette during his last visit to this 
 country, as he was much at her father's 
 home. On the 8th of September, 1824, 
 she was present when a play was per- 
 formed at the old Park Theatre, in 
 Park Row, in honor of the General. 
 The play was entitled ' The Siege of 
 Yorktown,' by Mordecai M. Noah, edi- 
 tor of the ' Evening Star.' The Gen- 
 eral entered as the band played ' La 
 Fayette's Return,' or the ' Hero's Wel- 
 come.' All in the house rose. An at- 
 tractive feature of the occasion was the 
 appearance on the stage of nine little 
 girls, modestly dressed, who formed in 
 dancing the letters L. A. F. A. Y. 
 E. T. T. E. 
 
 " On September 10 of the same year 
 there was a ball given for the General, 
 at Castle Garden, at which she was

 present, and of which brilliant pageant 
 she often gave a vivid and delightful 
 description. 
 
 " She considered her two years with 
 Mrs. Emma Willard as the ground- 
 work of her English education. She 
 remembered Mrs. Willard with respect 
 and affection, and said she was most 
 kind and judicious in her manner of 
 correcting her pupils. Mrs. Willard 
 once dined at my grandfather's house 
 in Fulton Street, where she met his 
 brother, John L. Riker, who afterwards 
 pronounced her the most dignified 
 woman he had ever met. A family 
 party was given by my grandfather 
 at La Fayette's request, with only the 
 addition of a Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge (she 
 being Jefferson's granddaughter), and 
 Mr. and Mrs. Rush (he having repre- 
 sented this country at the court of St. 
 Cloud), and a French Marshal just 
 about returning home. The whole 
 house was thrown open, one room be- 
 ing reserved for the children, in charge 
 of whom was Miss Witherspoon, grand- 
 daughter of Rev. Dr. Witherspoon, 
 the only clergyman who signed the 
 Declaration of Independence. 
 
 " It was said of La Fayette that he 
 never forgot names. When presented 
 to Miss Witherspoon, he said, ' Is she 
 any relation to my old companion in 
 arms, Capt. Witherspoon, who died of 
 his wounds received at the Battle of 
 Brandywine, where I also was wound- 
 ed?' When told that she was 'his 
 only child,' he shook hands with her 
 warmly, and said, ' Your father was a 
 brave officer.' 
 
 " My mother often recalled with en- 
 thusiasm the celebration of the com- 
 pletion of the Erie Canal, in which she 
 participated. She was on the water, 
 but not on the same steamer as her 
 7 
 
 father, that being reserved for the 
 Mayor, Recorder, and Common Coun- 
 cil, with the General and his suite, 
 with whom was Dr. Samuel Mitchell, 
 who had been chosen to deliver an 
 oration on the union of Lake Erie with 
 the Atlantic Ocean. 
 
 " It is a notable fact in my mother's 
 history, that during her widowhood, 
 after traveling a great deal in her own 
 country, she, at the age of seventy -five, 
 determined to make a trip abroad. 
 She visited the Land of the Midnight 
 Sun, and crossing to St. Petersburgh, 
 went down to Moscow, returning home 
 through the heart of Europe, enjoy- 
 ing her trip so much that she repeated 
 it almost every other summer, with 
 the exception of 1893, when she vis- 
 ited the Exposition at Chicago. In the 
 summer of 189 5, when eighty-six years 
 of age, she undertook her seventh 
 foreign journey, going through the 
 north of Scotland, coach-riding thirty- 
 five miles a day without any apparent 
 fatigue." 
 
 It is recorded of Mrs. Spring that by 
 reason of her catholic views and her 
 utter absence of prejudice, she derived 
 great benefit from foreign travel. Her 
 mental as well as bodily activity con- 
 tinued with slight abatement until 
 within a very short period before her 
 death.

 She early attracted the attention of 
 Mrs. Emma Willard by her intellec- 
 tual ability. She became a teacher in 
 the Seminary because of her scholarly 
 acquirements, and she at once grew 
 into favor as a teacher because of her 
 personal qualities. There was about 
 her an unusual dignity, with grace and 
 affability that impressed her associates, 
 among whom her tall figure and beau- 
 tiful expressive face rendered her con- 
 spicuous.

 Seelye, Harriet Maria, 
 
 Daughter of Isaac and Julia (Leon- 
 ard) Seelye, a lineal descendant of Gov. 
 Bradford, born in Cherry Valley, N. Y., 
 was a pupil in Troy Seminary from 
 1823 to 1825. Married, in 1838, Wil- 
 liam M. Oliver. Children, three sons 
 and one daughter. Residence, after 
 marriage, in Penn Yan, N. Y. Died in 
 Rochester, N. Y., in 1885. 
 
 A daughter of Mrs. Oliver is Mrs.

 Seelye, Julia Elizabeth, 
 
 Daughter of Isaac and Julia (Leon- 
 ard) Seelye, a descendant of Gov. Brad- 
 ford, and a granddaughter of Elinor

 Attended Troy Seminary in 1824 and 
 1825. Married in 1 83 1, David Hervey 
 Little, lawyer. Seven children. Lived 
 in Cherry Valley, and in Rochester, 
 N. Y. 
 
 Mrs. Little was the first President of 
 the Women's Missionary Society of the 
 Third Presbyterian Church in Roches- 
 ter. She was also a manager of the 
 " Home for the Friendless." Mrs. Little

 (Bostwick) Seward, was born in New 
 Lebanon, N. Y. 
 
 She improved most faithfully the 
 educational advantages afforded by 
 the " Little Red School-house " in her 
 native town, but was far from satisfied 
 with its limitations. Through friends 
 who lived in Troy, she was brought in 
 touch with Mrs. Willard and the Semi- 
 nary, and in 1824 became one of its 
 most earnest and ambitious pupils. 
 
 Her intelligent enthusiasm in her 
 studies enlisted the responsive interest 
 of Mrs. Willard, which ripened into an 
 enduring friendship. 
 
 Miss Seward became a strong advo- 
 cate for woman's higher education, and 
 an efficient co-worker with Mrs. Wil- 
 lard in the cause.

 She was the only daughter of her 
 father's household, but true to her con- 
 scientious aims she won his reluctant 
 consent to her accepting the position 
 of Principal of the school in Roches- 
 ter, to which Mrs. Willard had recom- 
 mended her. It was the work of a 
 pioneer, at that time, 1834, to convert 
 public sentiment to the theory of ad- 
 vanced knowledge for women, but Miss 
 Seward's zeal and sincere devotion to 
 her mission brought success. 
 
 She gathered around her an accom- 
 plished and congenial corps of teachers, 
 and during eight years Seward Semi- 
 nary was an ever-widening and uplift- 
 ing influence. 
 
 In 1842 Miss Seward married Gen. 
 Jacob Gould, of Rochester. Although 
 removed from active service in the 
 Seminary by her marriage, her sym- 
 pathies were with it so long as it ex- 
 isted. In later years she made persever- 
 ing efforts to have a " Girls' Depart- 
 ment " connected with the Rochester 
 University, which endeavors were 
 warmly seconded by the President, Dr. 
 Anderson. But this movement was 
 premature, and the plan was not ac- 
 complished. In spite of her disappoint- 
 ment, Mrs. Gould's interest in the edu- 
 cational problem never flagged, and 
 as the years passed on she rejoiced in 
 the establishment of Girls' Colleges, 
 and the opening to women of the once 
 barricaded doors of the universities. 
 
 Mrs. Gould died in 1875, having been 
 a widow for eight years. 
 
 She is survived by one son and two 
 daughters, to one of whom, Mrs. C. E. 
 Simmons, we are indebted for the data 
 of Mrs. Sarah Seward Gould. ■ 
 
 Seymour, Emma Hart, 
 
 (Namesake of Mrs. Emma Hart Wil- 
 lard,) daugter of Hon. Horatio and 
 
 Lucy (Case) Seymour, was born in 
 Middlebury, Vt., from which place 
 she entered Troy Seminary, in 1823, 
 remaining during the school year of 
 1824. 
 
 She became the wife of Philip Bat- 
 tell, of Norfolk, Conn., a graduate of 
 Middlebury College, and a lawyer who 
 resided in Cleveland, Ohio. Later Mr. 
 and Mrs. Battell returned to Middle- 
 bury and the old homestead, where 
 Mrs. Battell died, survived by her hus- 
 band and two children. 
 
 Shankland, Rachel Ann, 
 
 Daughter of Thomas and Rachel 
 (Turnure) Shankland, born in Coopers- 
 town, N. Y. Attended Troy Seminary 
 from 1827 to 1830. Married, in 1836, 
 Palmer Vose Kellogg, of Utica, N. Y., 
 in which city her married life was 
 passed. 
 
 Seven children were born of this 
 marriage, four sons and three daugh- 
 ters, of whom only the daughters are 
 now living. Mrs. Kellogg died in 1866, 
 at the St. Nicholas Hotel in New York 
 city, on her return from a winter in 
 Cuba. 
 
 It is recorded of her that she met 
 every responsibility of her life with 
 fidelity — was a model wife and mother, 
 a faithful friend, a wise counsellor — in 
 short, hers was a noble, well-rounded 
 character. Her fine mind was enriched 
 by books and the observation from 
 much travel. Through native endow- 
 ment and rare acquirements she was a 
 social leader. Above all, she was an earn- 
 est Christian, an influence in her home, 
 and in the community in which she 
 lived. 
 
 Through her life she continued loyal 
 to Troy Seminary, maintaining rela- 
 tions of close friendship with Mrs. Em- 
 ma Willard.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Mrs. John B. Kellogg, of Williams- 
 town, Mass., is a daughter of Mrs. Pal- 
 mer V. Kellogg. 
 
 Shankland, Nancy B., 
 
 Daughter of Thomas and Rachel 
 (Turnure) Shankland, was born in 
 Cooperstown, N. Y., where she lived 
 until she entered Troy Seminary in 
 1830. An extract from a letter of her 
 niece is a tribute worthy of record : 
 
 " Hers was a placid, peaceful, happy, 
 uneventful life. She spent most of her 
 time with her sisters, in their different 
 homes, a beloved and useful maiden 
 aunt. 
 
 " When we children were in disgrace, 
 it was to ' Aunt Nancy ' that we went 
 for comfort. Late in life she married 
 ' Deacon Lathrop ' (Horace Lathrop, 
 lawyer) of Cooperstown, a most estima- 
 ble man, a widower with grown chil. 
 dren. With him she passed some happy 
 years. I can remember visiting them 
 in their pleasant home in Cooperstown, 
 in my childhood, and besides the mem- 
 ory of good things to eat, I particularly 
 recall the picture of those two gentle 
 old souls, sitting in front of an open 
 fire, each in a rocking-chair close to- 
 gether, holding hands and singing 
 hymns." 
 
 Mrs. Lathrop died in Cooperstown in 
 1876. 
 
 Shaw, Sarah Ann, 
 
 Daughter of Hon. Henry and Laura 
 (Wheeler) Shaw, was born in Albany, 
 N. Y. Her father was a native of 
 Lanesborough, Mass., and represented 
 his State in Congress for twenty years. 
 
 Sarah Ann Shaw was a pupil in Troy 
 Seminary in 183 1. M arried in 1832 at 
 Lebanon Springs, Mass., to David Ad- 
 dison Noble, of Monroe, Mich. At that 
 early day Michigan was but a Territory, 
 
 and it was largely due to Mr. Noble's 
 zealous efforts that she was admitted as 
 a State into the Union. 
 
 Public-spirited as a man, and an able 
 jurist. State and civil offices were 
 pressed upon him, and under the ad- 
 ministration of President Pierce he 
 represented his State in Congress. His 
 accomplished wife ably maintained the 
 dignity of her position as the wife of 
 her distinguished husband, and their 
 home soon became a social center, re- 
 membered in these later days for its 
 talent and its culture. Two sons and a 
 daughter were numbered in their fam- 
 ily : Hon. Henry Shaw Noble, of Mon- 
 roe, John S. Noble, of Minnesota, and 
 Mrs. Herbert T. Stoddard, of Monroe. 
 
 Referring to her parents, the latter 
 says, " My mother was a gifted woman 
 in every sense of the word. I have 
 often heard from her lips, of long horse- 
 back rides to Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor, and 
 Adrian, where my father went to at- 
 tend court, my mother always accom- 
 panying him. Both my father and mo- 
 ther spoke the French language fluent- 
 ly. For fifty years they lived their 
 happy, beautiful life together. In the 
 old Noble homestead in Monroe there 
 hang now their portraits, painted by 
 Inman. My mother's bright, expressive 
 face looks out from the canvas. She is 
 represented in the fashion of her time, 
 the high-back comb, auburn curls about 
 her face, and the laughing blue eyes so 
 suggestive of the mirth and wit with 
 which she was gifted." 
 
 It was Mrs. Stoddard's good fortune 
 to be herself a pupil in Troy Seminary 
 in later years, and she was happy in 
 being permitted to occupy the room in 
 which her mother had lived in her girl- 
 hood — to lay her own belongings in the 
 same bureau drawers where her mo-

 ther's had been carefully bestowed : 
 slie even found there the familiar ini- 
 tials of her mother's name, placed there 
 by her mother's hand. 
 
 Judge Noble died in 1876. His widow 
 survived him until 1884. 
 
 " The mossy marbles rest 
 
 On the lips we have pressed in their bloom, 
 And the names we loved to hear 
 Have been carved for many a year on the 
 tomb." 
 
 Sheldon, Urania Eleanor, 
 
 Daughter of Asa and Isabel (Low) 
 Sheldon, was born in Troy, N. Y. 
 
 In early youth she was a pupil of the 
 Rev. Francis Wayland, father of Pres- 
 ident Way land, of Brown University. 
 On the removal of Mr. Wayland to 
 Saratoga from Troy, she was placed in 
 Mrs. Willard's Seminary, first as a day 
 scholar, afterwards as a boarder. 
 
 On completing the course of study 
 in Troy, in 1824, she began teaching 
 as a governess in a family in Elizabeth, 
 N. J., the members of which remained 
 her life-long friends. 
 
 In 1827 she opened her first school 
 in Washington Co., N. Y. Her success 
 was so remarkable that in 1830 she 
 was invited to remove to Schenectady, 
 where her school soon took rank among 
 the first in the State. 
 
 The trustees of the Utica Female 
 Academy in 1837 offered her induce- 
 ments to remove her school with its 
 prestige to their beautiful city. 
 
 They built her a commodious house, 
 capable of holding one hundred board- 
 ers, and here for five years she gathered 
 around her, attracted by her fame as 
 a teacher and the admirable appoint- 
 ments of her school, pupils only limited 
 in number by the capacity of the build- 
 ing. From this home and school Miss 
 Sheldon was married, in 1842, to the 
 
 Rev. Dr. Eliphalet Nott, President of 
 Union College, Schenectady. She sur- 
 vived her husband twenty years, and 
 died in 1886. 
 
 From a Memorial of Mrs. Nott, pub- 
 lished at her death, we learn that her 
 father was a man of noble presence, 
 somewhat stern in his bearing, though 
 mellowed in his riper years, and en- 
 dowed with intellectual and moral qual- 
 ities of a remarkably vigorous type. 
 Her mother was the daughter of Major 
 Samuel Low, one of the early settlers 
 from Rhode Island, later of Berkshire 
 Co., Massachusetts, a man of consider- 
 able prominence and property. A single 
 incident in his life will serve to illus- 
 trate his character. He was the owner 
 of a number of slaves at the time of the 
 Revolution. Returning from the battle 
 of Bennington, where, as elsewhere, he 
 did good service for his country, he 
 called his slaves together, and manu- 
 mitted them on the spot, declaring that 
 his principles would not allow him to 
 hold his fellow-beings in bondage while 
 fighting for liberty for himself. 
 
 Thus it will be seen that Miss Shel- 
 don came by nature to the inheritance 
 of a vigorous constitution, uncommon- 
 ly fine endowments of head and heart, 
 and a personal presence at once im- 
 pressive and pleasing. In appearance 
 she was tall, somewhat slender, digni- 
 fied yet gracious in her bearing, with 
 large, lustrous brown eyes of remark- 
 able softness, and a profusion of dark 
 brown hair, which retained its natural 
 color and not a little of its luxuriance 
 down to old age. Referring to her 
 career as teacher and guardian of the 
 young women committed to her care, 
 it is said that her aims were formed 
 upon the highest ideal— too high to be 
 satisfied with merely cultivating the 
 
102

 mind and embellishing the manners. 
 The grand essential of education, in 
 her view, was to form and beautify the 
 character, to develope the best element 
 of womanhood, to fit the young ladies 
 under her care to adorn the position 
 they might occupy, not only by the 
 grace of refined breeding and culture, 
 but by the most useful qualities that 
 elevate the tone of domestic and social 
 life. How well she succeeded in real- 
 izing her ideal, the homes of hundreds 
 of cultivated families bear weightier 
 testimony than words. 
 
 From her Utica home and school. 
 Miss Sheldon was married, in 1824, to 
 the Rev. Dr. Eliphalet Nott, President 
 of Union College. Into this new sphere, 
 as the wife of her distinguished hus- 
 band she brought a grace that added 
 charm to it, and presided with an ele- 
 gance of hospitality that gave special 
 attractiveness to her home. In the 
 meantime her interest in the students 
 was felt as a constant beneficence, and 
 to many her influence was an actual 
 inspiration. 
 
 After twenty-four years of conjugal 
 union with one in whose companion- 
 ship she had passed through some of 
 earth's sweetest and saddest experi- 
 ences, she was left to pursue her weary 
 pilgrimage alone. 
 
 She had united in early womanhood 
 with the First Presbyterian Church, in 
 Schenectady. She could never be other 
 than a whole-hearted Christian ; but 
 those who knew her in later life could 
 not fail to observe a deepening inten- 
 sity of her spiritual life. It was true 
 of her in an eminent degree that her 
 conversation was in heaven. 
 
 And the close of her life was in keep- 
 ing with its promise. No words can 
 adequately describe it but " perfect 
 peace." 
 
 Sbeldon, Julia Pierpont, 
 
 A pupil of Troy Seminary, from 
 Manchester, Vt., in 1826. She was a 
 grand-daughter of Esquire Pierpont, of 
 Manchester. She became Mrs. Rich- 
 ards, and with her husband conducted 
 a Ladies' Seminary for several years in 
 Canandaigua, N. Y. 
 
 Sheldon, Lucena, 
 
 Daughter of Aaron and Fannie (El- 
 liott) Sheldon, was born in East Rupert, 
 Bennington Co., Vt., in 18 12. Her fa- 
 ther came of a good old Puritan family, 
 being the son of Capt. Moses Sheldon, 
 who served in the Revolutionary war. 
 Her mother was a native of Virginia. 
 She died when her daughter Lucena 
 was but ten years of age. Lucena was 
 adopted into the home of her father's 
 sister, in Rochester, N. Y., where she 
 attended a private school until she 
 went to Troy Seminary in 1825, re- 
 maining, with interruptions, until 1829. 
 The Erie Canal was a recent enterprise 
 at the time of her entering the Semin- 
 ary, and the uncle with whom she lived 
 being engaged in the Transportation 
 business between Troy and Rochester, 
 the family home alternated between 
 the two cities. In 1 826 the late Presi- 
 dent Finney of Oberlin College con- 
 ducted a revival in Troy, which awak- 
 ened a deep religious interest among 
 Mrs. Willard's pupils. Of them was 
 Miss Sheldon, who under its influence 
 consecrated her life to the service of 
 her Master. From childhood she had 
 loved the Sunday-school, and in ma- 
 turer years she developed a zeal and 
 fitness for that branch of church work 
 that rended her eminently success- 
 ful. 
 
 In 1832 she married Sidney Allen, 
 of Rochester, residing there until 
 1845. 
 
RECORD OF PUPILS, 1822 TO 1832. 
 
 103 
 
 In that year her husband's father 
 with his five sons and their families 
 emigrated to Wisconsin, at that time 
 regarded as " the far west." 
 
 The little colony established itself 
 on a Jefferson Prairie, in a picturesque 
 clump of trees which was named " Al- 
 len's Grove." In this pioneer life Mrs. 
 Allen found ample scope for her philan- 
 thropic and Christian endeavor. There 
 were many privations and hardships 
 to be encountered by the Allen broth- 
 erhood, who had left congenial and 
 cultivated surroundings in their pleas- 
 ant Rochester homes ; but they were 
 brave and hopeful and full of energy, 
 and lived there happy, contented, and 
 useful lives until their work was done. 
 The father and sons now rest in Mount 
 Philip Cemetery, the picturesque burial- 
 place of Allen's Grove. 
 
 Under the primitive condition of her 
 Western experience, Mrs. Allen had 
 little leisure for literary pursuits, but 
 her interest in the topics and enter- 
 prises of the day never flagged. She 
 became the mother of ten children, 
 only four of whom, two sons and two 
 daughters, are now living. 
 
 Although she is now in her eighty- 
 third year, and one of the last survivors 
 of the Allen Colony that found its 
 friendly roof-tree in Allen's Grove, the 
 chapter of reminiscences with which 
 we are favored, from her own pen, gives 
 remarkable evidence of unimpaired 
 faculties, while her legible chirogra- 
 phy challenges admiration. She re- 
 calls the days of Anti-Slavery agitation, 
 when the "Underground Railroad," 
 (of which her uncle was an efficient 
 and most humane agent) opened the 
 way to freedom to many fugitives. 
 
 It was in her childhood that Sunday 
 observance was rigidly enforced, and 
 
 Saturday night was the prelude to the 
 solemn day. 
 
 Sunday traffic was opposed, and a 
 six-day line of canal-boats was estab- 
 lished on the Erie Canal. The advo- 
 cates of Temperance were making a 
 strong stand for "teetotalism," and 
 Mrs. Allen won the commendation of 
 the Rev. Dr. Beman, of Troy, and 
 others who sympathized with the tem- 
 perance movement, when, on her wed- 
 ding-day, she declined to have wine 
 served to the guests invited to her 
 uncle's house, which had hitherto been 
 noted for its liberal hospitality un- 
 checked by teetotalism. 
 
 Perhaps no more forcible example of 
 contrast between then and now could 
 be given than the brief record of one 
 of Mrs. Allen's summer journeys from 
 Rochester to. Vermont. We give the 
 description in her own words: "The 
 half of the ladies' cabin was reserved 
 for me. I took my three children, the 
 youngest a baby, with a nurse. I had 
 my own bed and bedding, baby's cra- 
 dle, my low rocking-chair, and work- 
 basket. I enjoyed every moment. 
 These days of hurry had not dawned. 
 I could read as well as at home. There 
 was no grinding of wheels. We moved 
 continuously and steadily. The chil- 
 dren had their books and playthings, 
 and thus the week of our journey 
 passed pleasantly and without fa- 
 tigue. 
 
 " Arrived at Troy, my father met 
 us with his great double democrat, a 
 long, three-seated wagon, which had 
 served in my childhood to carry our 
 country neighborhood to church. In 
 this capacious, time -honored vehicle, 
 we continued our way to Vermont." 
 
 Mrs. Allen's present home is with 
 her daughter, Mrs. F. W. Fairfield, the 
 
104 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 wife of Prof. F. W. Fairfield, D. D., of 
 Howard University, Washington, D. C. 
 
 Shepherd, Ellen Alida, 
 
 Daughter of George and Alida (Vis- 
 cher) Shepherd, was born in Albany, 
 N. Y. She was one of the earliest and 
 youngest pupils of Troy Seminary in 
 1822, being placed there, a motherless 
 child, as a boarder, when little more 
 than six years old. 
 
 She married, in 1833, Henry D. Var- 
 ick, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. She is, at 
 the present writing, (Aug. 5, 1895) still 
 living in the same house where her 
 married life began, which has been her 
 continuous home. 
 
 She is in her eighty -sixth year. 
 Since a serious illness, she has become 
 blind, and memory is weak, but its 
 flickering light brightens at the men- 
 tion of her school-days, and she still 
 loves and reverences the name of 
 Emma Willard. 
 
 A daughter is the companion and 
 comfort of the mother's declining 
 years. Miss Mary S. Varick, 85 Market 
 Street, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. 
 
 Sherman, Nancy, 
 
 Daughter of Wilber and Sarah 
 CStearns) Sherman, was born in Pitts- 
 town, Rensselaer Co., N. Y. 
 
 In Troy Seminary in 1824. Married 
 Dr. Simon A. Cook, of Buskirk's Bridge, 
 N. Y. One son, Robley D. Cook, of 
 Troy, N. Y. Mrs. Cook died in 1841, 
 at the homestead in Pittstown. 
 
 Sherrill, Elizabeth, 
 
 Was born in Salisbury, Conn., in 
 1800. We are without record of her 
 paternal ancestry. Her mother's 
 maiden name was Sarah Fitch, a de- 
 scendant of Gov. Trumbull, and an 
 early friend of Mrs. Emma Willard, 
 which friendship secured to her young 
 
 daughter, Elizabeth Sherrill, the life- 
 long interest of the founder of Troy 
 Seminary. From Mrs. Willard's own 
 testimony we learn that the unusual 
 beauty, sweetness of temper, and in- 
 telligence of the child first attracted 
 her. As Principal of the Young La- 
 dies' School in Middlebury, Vt., Mrs. 
 Willard assigned the mother of Eliza- 
 beth Sherrill to a responsible and hon- 
 ored position in her household, and 
 assumed the care and education of the 
 daughter, whose rapid progress in 
 study fully justified the interest of her 
 benefactor. 
 
 At fourteen, while still a pupil, she 
 was entrusted with classes, for which 
 she daily prepared herself by studpng 
 the lessons in advance. At the same 
 time she was industriously employed, 
 under Mrs. Willard's .supervision, in 
 the drawing of maps, and compiling 
 the books of geography and history 
 which Mrs. Willard afterward pub- 
 lished. She accompanied Mrs. Willard 
 to Waterford, N. Y., and when the 
 school was established in Troy Miss 
 Sherrill was appointed Vice-Principal, 
 at the saine time giving instruction in 
 vocal and instrumental music, in 
 French and drawing, and the higher 
 English department. In 1826, in con- 
 nection with Mrs. Julia Pierpont 
 Warne, she accepted the charge of a 
 flourishing female academy in Sparta, 
 Ga. In 1828 Miss Shemll married 
 Lieut. Thomas S. Twiss, U. S. A., then 
 stationed in New Orleans, command- 
 ing a corps of engineers engaged in 
 the construction of forts upon the Miss- 
 issippi River. The following year, 
 Lieut. Twiss resigned from the army, 
 when he and Mrs. Twiss became Prin- 
 cipals of the Male and Female Acad- 
 emy, of Augusta, Ga.

 A letter from which we quote, ad- 
 dressed by Mrs. Willard to Mrs. Twiss, 
 in 1828, when the school in Augusta 
 was opened, is among the treasured 
 relics of the latter's descendants. It 
 furnishes a pleasing instance of the 
 characteristic motherly interest with 
 which Mrs. Willard followed the for- 
 tunes of her pupils and teachers. 
 
 "Troy, Feb. 21, 1828. 
 " Dear Elizabeth: 
 
 " Here this letter has lain till after 
 examination is over. I live the same 
 hurried life yet, as you will see by this. 
 But you must not think I do not love 
 you. I assure you my heart and mind 
 are often with you, and at this time I 
 feel such an anxiety for you, that were 
 I permitted to see for a time any one 
 absent person, I should get on a 
 broomstick and hurry through the air 
 to see you. I often try to fancy how 
 your new honors become you. 
 
 " I was much astonished at the intel- 
 ligence that you had concluded to take 
 Mrs. Warne's establishment. I have 
 no doubt that Mr. Twiss and yourself 
 will be happier than in leading a less 
 settled life. It is the kind of life to 
 which you are accustomed, a kind of 
 business which you understand, and it 
 will, no doubt, be more agreeable than 
 house-keeping. The term companion- 
 ship seems a favorite one to express 
 the happiest state of connubial life. 
 Mr. Twiss and yourself, pursuing the 
 same object, will have every advan- 
 tage to enjoy this companionship, and 
 such is the placid and rational and con- 
 sistent tenor of his way, and such is 
 the kind, far-seeing, and I may add, 
 the brilliant one of yours, that I in- 
 dulge the most sanguine hope that 
 you both will glide steadily and gal- 
 lantly to the haven of success. 
 
 " My greatest fears are for your 
 health ; do write and let me know par- 
 ticularly how you are. I thought as 
 you were going into this business you 
 would want all the funds that you 
 could both command at the outset. I 
 therefore made the arrangement men- 
 tioned by Miss Archer. What the sum 
 falls short of the five hundred, I will 
 remit . . . By the way, marriage has 
 broken in upon us. 
 
 " Elizabeth Newton, first one of my 
 teachers, a super - excellent one, and 
 one whom I had persuaded to join 
 you at the South, if you wished it, was 
 suddenly arrested in her praise-wor- 
 thy career by the hand of Hymen. 
 She was married by Elder Howard to 
 an elegant widower, a gentleman of 
 fortune from the East, in our school- 
 room, one morning before examina- 
 tion commenced, and took her imme- 
 diate departure for his elegant seat in 
 the country. Next Sunday I expect to 
 stand up in church myself for the pur- 
 pose of hearing the matrimonial ser- 
 vice. With whom, do you guess ? But 
 you need not guess, for you do not 
 
 know . The young lady whom I 
 
 am to give away, for that, by special 
 request, is to be my office, has been 
 my pupil for a year, and is to marry 
 an Episcopal clergyman. 
 
 " Entre nous, I expect Eliza C. Smith, 
 that precious soul, will go next. Appear- 
 ances are suspicious. Visits and letters 
 are frequent from Judge Willard. 
 
 " Mary Morgan desires her best love. 
 Give mine to my son Thomas when 
 you write. 
 
 " Your affectionate mother, 
 
 " E. WILLARD." 
 
 Lieut. Twiss and wife continued in 
 charge of the school until 1835, when 
 owing to the impaired health of Mrs. 
 
io6 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Twiss, her husband bought a village 
 farm near Troy, N. Y., and established 
 his family there, himself accepting the 
 Professorship of Mathematics, Astron- 
 omy, and Intellectual Philosophy in 
 the College of Columbia, S. C. The 
 family at the farm consisted of Mrs. 
 Twiss and her three daughters, her 
 mother, and her husband's parents. 
 
 During three months of each year 
 Prof. Twiss shared the joys of his 
 Northern home with his beloved fam- 
 ily. The long separations entailed by 
 this divided household were a sad trial 
 to Mrs. Twiss and her husband. Their 
 letters during that period are preserved 
 by their surviving children, and prized 
 for the spirit of devotion to each other, 
 and the heroic self-sacrifice which they 
 portray. 
 
 But happier years came to them, 
 when Mrs. Twiss was able, with her 
 children to rejoin her husband in the 
 beautiful city of Columbia. 
 
 The education of the three daugh- 
 ters was under the direct supervision 
 of their parents, and in the intellectual 
 atmosphere of the college community, 
 and in the halls of the college library 
 they browsed at liberty in the fields of 
 English literature. 
 
 In 1850 they took up their perma- 
 nent residence on the home farm in 
 the North, and it was here that Mrs. 
 Twiss, after many years of invalidism, 
 passed to her final rest in 1866. Her 
 husband died in 1870, in Nebraska. In 
 the later years of his life he served the 
 Government as Indian Agent of the 
 Upper Platte, Nebraska.

 In 1827 she married Charles C. Trow- 
 bridge, of Detroit, which city continued 
 to be the home of her married life. 
 She occupied the same house on Jeffer- 
 son Avenue until her death, which 
 transpired in 1889, just two years after 
 the celebration of her golden wedding. 
 
 Three daughters are residents of 
 Detroit: Mrs. Sidney D. Miller, Mrs. 
 George Hendric, and Miss Trowbridge, 
 of 609 Jefferson Avenue. A fourth 
 daughter, Mrs. William Wilkins, is now 
 living in Stuttgart, Germany.

 Watson, of agricultural fame, and pro- 
 moter, of Port Kent, N. Y. Mrs. Wat- 
 son died early, leaving one son, Rich- 
 ard S. Watson. 
 
 Her husband afterward married a 
 second daughter of Gov. Skinner, Su- 
 san Skinner. She died, leaving a son, 
 Winslow C. Watson. The two sons, 
 Richard S. Watson, and Winslow C. 
 Watson, are residents of Port Kent,

 in 1 83 1, Peter Low, of Troy, N. Y. Five 
 children were born of this marriage. 
 
 Looking back more than fourscore 
 years, Mrs. Low recalls her first meet- 
 ing with Mrs. Emma Willard, when 
 with her mother she was a passenger 
 upon a Hudson River steamboat. The 
 fine presence of Mrs. Willard, combined 
 with a certain tactful kindness, won the 
 heart of the little girl of eleven, who a 
 
 few years later became a willing in- 
 mate of Troy Seminary, and whose 
 loyalty to the school and its founder 
 never wavered. A daughter and a 
 granddaughter have been pupils there. 
 Mrs. Low's later years were spent in

 her own accomplishments available as 
 her means of support. She had been 
 liberally educated in New York city, 
 and was especially qualified in music 
 and oil painting. She was for many 
 years in charge of the class in Oil 
 Painting in Troy Seminary. 
 
 Her admiration of Mrs. Willard was 
 very great, and the period of her life

 advantages. She was a pupil in Troy- 
 Seminary in 1825. 
 
 Her immediate family having passed 
 away, she became an inmate of the 
 household of Dr. J. V. C. Smith, of 
 Boston, maintaining sisterly relations 
 with Mrs. Smith through life, travelling 
 with them in Europe and Palestine. 
 
 Having a large fortune at her dispo- 
 sal, she used it generously, providing 
 for the education of the young, assist- 
 ing the aged, and making many hearts 
 glad each year by her kind benefac- 
 tions. Elegant in person and manners, 
 cultivated in mind, possessed of noble 
 qualities of heart, she commanded the 
 admiration of all who knew her. She 
 was a life-long member of the Episco- 
 pal Church. 
 
 Having never married, she lavished 
 her affection upon the friends in whose

 years later, and lived in London, where 
 her husband was knighted for distin- 
 guished services in the Geneva arbi- 
 tration of the Alabama claims, result- 
 ing in the Treaty of Washington.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 She was reared in the home of her 
 paternal grand-parents, and went, when 
 quite young, to Mrs. Willard's school 
 in Waterford, in 1820. 
 
 She married, in 1834, S. Bryant

 Thorn, Cynthia, 
 
 Daughter of Gilbert and Hannah 
 (Lewis) Thorn, was born in Rhine-

 Her father was Judge of Dutchess 
 County. She was sixteen years old 
 when she entered Troy Seminary in 
 1827. At that time there were no 
 railroad facilities between Troy and 
 adjacent cities, and she was accustomed 
 to drive with her father from her home 
 to the Seminary. Married Edward H. 
 Thompson, who died in 1878. Two 
 children were born of this marriage, 
 Frances and Henry Thompson, neither 
 of whom is now living. 
 
 Mrs. Thompson died in 1895, in An- 
 cram, Columbia Co., N. Y. Two grand-

 Towsley, Harriet, 
 
 Daughter of Judge Sylvanus and 
 Betsey (KiefE) Towsley, was born in 
 Syracuse, N. Y. She was a pupil in 
 Troy Seminary in 1824. Married, in 
 1826, to Elisha Phillips, and died soon 
 after. 
 
 An album still in possession of her 
 descendants bears on the fly-leaf the 
 name of its former owner, written in 
 the small chirography of those days, 
 " Harriet Towsley, Manlius, N. Y.," 
 
RECORD OF PUPILS, 1822 TO 1832.

 and the date, " Troy Seminary, Sept. 
 i3tli, 1824. 
 
 Turning its yellow and time-stained 
 pages, one reads the names of the 
 school friends of Harriet Towsley, ap- 
 pended to original verses, or most se- 
 rious selections from Young's"Night 
 Thoughts," Milton and Pope. 
 
 Interspersed with these selections 
 are painted conventional rosebuds 
 folded in vivid green leaflets, with 
 well-defined thorns on the stems — the 
 triumph of the girlish amateur in wa- 
 ter-colors in those now far-off days, 
 when an illuminated book was a rare 
 treasure. 
 
 Towsley, Maria, 
 
 Daughter of Judge Sylvanus and 
 Betsey (Kieff) Towsley, was born in 
 Manlius, N. Y. She was one of the 
 early pupils of Troy Seminary, enter- 
 ing there in 1824. In 1828 she married 
 Henry L. Gaylord, druggist, of Win- 
 sted, Conn., where she lived for several 
 years after marriage. In 1837 her hus- 
 band associated himself with his brother, 
 Erastus F. Gaylord, in Cleveland, Ohio, 
 and during his life the firm of " E. F. 
 and H. L. Gaylord, Wholesale Drug- 
 gists," was widely known throughout 
 Ohio, conducting a successful business 
 from which they retired with inde- 
 pendent fortunes. 
 
 Of three children born to Henry L. 
 and Maria (Towsley) Gaylord, Maria 
 Antoinette died in early childhood, 
 Sylvanus Towsley died in 1870, and 
 William H. Gaylord, lawyer, still lives 
 in Cleveland. Mrs. Gaylord was for 
 many years a member of the First 
 Presbyterian Church in Cleveland — 
 always a woman of gentle nature and 
 quiet ways. She was left a widow in 
 1853. Her own death took place in 
 Cleveland, in 1884. 
 
 She was a pupil in Troy at the time 
 of La Fayette's visit to this country, 
 and among the souvenirs of her school 
 days still cherished by her son is the 
 badge worn by her at the reception 
 given by Mrs. Willard to the nation's 
 distinguished guest. Also an album, 
 on the fly-leaf of which is inscribed 
 over the clear, bold signature of Emma 
 Willard, under date of May 14, 1824, 
 an appropriate extract from Osborn's 
 poems. 
 
 Treadwell, Margaret, 
 
 Younger sister of Anna Maria Tread- 
 well, was a pupil under Mrs. Willard in 
 Middlebury, Vt., between the years of 
 1814 and 1818. She married Duncan 
 Dewar, St. Andrews, Province of Que- 
 bec. Died in 1882, leaving three sons. 
 
 She was a woman of marked indi- 
 viduality, strong mental powers, and 
 large acquirements, whose life was a 
 potent influence for good in the com- 
 munity in which she lived. In early 
 life she was a successful educator. 
 
 Treadwell, Anna Maria, 
 
 The subject of the subjoined sketch 
 never attended Mrs. Willard's Semi- 
 nary in Troy, but was an earlier pupil 
 of her boarding-school in Middlebury, 
 Vt. 
 
 The notable scholarship for that pe- 
 riod to which she attained under the 
 influence and guidance of Mrs. Willard, 
 and the close friendship which subse- 
 quently existed between these gifted 
 women, seem to justify this brief biog- 
 raphy in this volume. 
 
 Anna Maria Treadwell was a daugh- 
 ter of Nathaniel Hazard and Mar- 
 garet (Piatt) Treadwell, and was born 
 in L'Original, Province of Quebec, in 
 1800. 
 
 Her paternal grandfather, Thomas 
 
114 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 served as Judge, Surrogate, Represent- 
 ative in the Continental Congress, 
 Member of the Provincial Congress, 
 and as Member of the first Senate of 
 the State of New York under the Con- 
 stitution. Her father, Nathaniel Haz- 
 ard Treadwell, invested in lands in 
 Canada known as the Seigniory of 
 L'Original. Her mother was the daugh- 
 ter of Judge Charles Piatt, who with 
 his two brothers founded the town of 
 Pittsburgh, N. Y. 
 
 On the breaking out of the war of 
 1 8 12 the well-known political sympa- 
 thies of the father of Miss Treadwell 
 brought him under suspicion. His 
 lands were declared forfeited, and with 
 his family he took refuge in Platts- 
 burgh. 
 
 The first Academy in Plattsburgh 
 was built in i8ii, Bela Edgar ton being 
 Principal and Benjamin Oilman Assis- 
 tant. It is probable that Anna Maria 
 Treadwell was a pupil in this Acad- 
 emy. 
 
 The battle of Plattsburgh, in 1814, 
 called Bela Edgarton into service and 
 closed the Academy. 
 
 It was in this year that Mrs. Emma 
 Willard opened a Boarding-school in 
 Middlebury, Vt., and it was between 
 the years of 18 14 and 18 17 that Miss 
 Treadwell was entered there. With a 
 younger sister, Margaret, she attended 
 as day scholar, living at the time with 
 an aunt, the wife of Rev. Dr. Henry 
 Davis, then President of Middlebury 
 College. It was in 1 8 1 7 that Miss Anna 
 Maria Treadwell graduated (a class of 
 one) on which occasion she underwent 
 an exhaustive examination in Stewart's 
 Mental and Moral Science, she being 
 the first young woman in America to 
 make Psychology a subject of study. 
 
 Her handwriting was like copper- 
 
 plate, legible and beautiful, in later 
 years taking a microscopic character. 
 Her drawings show a trained hand, and 
 her paintings took creditable rank as 
 judged by the art standards of 1817. 
 Even by later comparison they may be 
 commended. 
 
 We wonder if it was in the Middle- 
 bury school that she learned the art of 
 needlework, which through her life was 
 her delight and that of her friends. 
 Specimens of her embroidery on lace 
 and muslin, silk and satin, bear witness 
 to her originality in designing and her 
 dainty execution. 
 
 About 1 8 17 Dr. Davis became Presi- 
 dent of Hamilton College, Clinton, N. 
 Y., and Miss Treadwell spent a year in 
 his family, taking a post-graduate course 
 in Rhetoric under Dr. Davis, in Botany 
 under Prof. Noyes, and in Mathematics 
 under Tutor Bennet. 
 
 In 18 1 8 (now eighteen years of age) 
 she accepted the position of Preceptress 
 of the Girls' Department of the Onon- 
 daga Academy in Onondaga Valley, 
 N. Y. Her two years' service in this 
 school proved that she had not mis- 
 taken her vocation. She taught lads as 
 well as girls while in the Academy. 
 Distinguished divines and successful 
 educators who were once her pupils 
 testify to her rare acquirements and 
 her ability to impart, and to the inspir- 
 ing influence of her personality. 
 
 In 1820 she married Lewis H. Red- 
 field, Printer, Editor, and Publisher of 
 the Onondaga Register. 
 
 In 1829 the family removed to Syra- 
 cuse, N. Y. Seven children were bom 
 to them, all of whom lived to adult 
 years. 
 
 Mrs. Redfield met the responsibilities 
 of domestic life with conscientious fidel- 
 ity. In the community in which she 
 
^J%Wt^ 7^ c/' y2e.<>Uo!.Zcy^

 115 
 
 lived she was the acknowledged mis- 
 tress of household art and science, 
 given to hospitality, a helper of all who 
 would rise, a far-seeing originator, and 
 a believer in the creed that " the best 
 is yet to come." 
 
 In person she was dignified, gracious, 
 and magnetic. She was always a stu- 
 dent. During the busy years when 
 her children were about her she still 
 found fragments of time for solid read- 
 ing, and later as her cares were lessened 
 she gave herself to the studies and the 
 work she loved. 
 
 Her interest in natural science, and 
 in all that touches humanity continued 
 unabated. 
 
 The interests of the young were al- 
 ways close to her heart, and she wel- 
 comed every improved method of in- 
 struction. At lyceums, teachers' in- 
 stitutes, and reading circles her pres- 
 ence and her word were welcome and 
 helpful. With her tall candle and her 
 knitting she appeared at any singing- 
 school to see that " the girls " minded 
 their fa-sol-las. Through her efforts the 
 first Library in Syracuse was estab- 
 lished with the books, minerals, and 
 shells which she collected in the neigh- 
 borhood. For years her dining-room 
 was the meeting-place for the study of 
 Botany, Geology, and Conchology. 
 
 At the age of fifty she conceived the 
 idea of representing the animal world 
 pictorially in the form of a tree. Her 
 " Chart of the Animal Kingdom," and 
 the text-book accompanying it, " Zoo- 
 logical Science, or Nature in Living 
 Forms," were introduced into schools 
 and colleges, and recognized as of 
 great worth, Agassiz endorsing them 
 as the most complete and graphic pre- 
 sentation of the animal kingdom he 
 had ever seen. She afterwards drafted 
 
 on the same plan botanical and con- 
 chological charts, which owing to 
 blindness, she never completed. 
 
 In later years, her sight being re- 
 stored, she spent much time in the ex- 
 amination of old papers, letters, deeds, 
 accounts, etc., resulting in unearthing 
 valuable historical records. Hamilton 
 College, the historical societies of Chi- 
 cago, Albany, and Long Island, are the 
 richer for her labors. In 1859, lugham 
 University, of Le Roy, N. Y., conferred 
 upon Mrs. Redfield the degree of 
 " A. E.," (Artium Excelsior.) She was 
 the third woman to receive this honor 
 in this country. Her name was pre- 
 sented by Dr. Samuel Hanson Cox, a 
 noted Presbyterian divine, (father of 
 Bishop Cox.) 
 
 Mrs. Redfield died in Syracuse in 
 1888. To the end she held in loving 
 remembrance the n^me of Mrs. Wil- 
 lard, as her friend and teacher, the 
 moulder of her tastes, and the inspirer 
 of her life purposes. Until Mrs. Wil- 
 lard's death their relations were inti- 
 mate and confidential, their hopes and 
 beliefs were one. Daughters of Mrs. 
 Redfield are, Mrs. C. T. Longstreet, 
 Mrs. J. L. Bagg, Mrs. W. H. H. Smith, 
 Jane L. Redfield. There are two sons, 
 Lewis H. and Charles T. Redfield. 
 (One son, G. Davis Redfield, deceased.) 
 Mrs. Bagg died January 23, 1898. 
 
 Treat, Mary Lydia, 
 
 Daughter of Elisha and Lydia (Hart) 
 Treat, was born in Middletown, Conn. 
 Her mother was a sister of Mrs. Emma 
 Willard. At the age of twelve years 
 she went to Troy to live with her aunt, 
 Mrs. Willard, who adopted her as her 
 daughter. This was in 1822. Later 
 she was employed as an assistant 
 teacher in general studies, and after-

 ward gave instruction in music. Her 
 health failing, she went to Hartford, 
 Conn., to be under the care of Dr. 
 Todd, of that city, and died there dur- 
 ing Mrs. Willard's absence in Europe, 
 in 1830. 
 
 She was deeply mourned by her 
 aunt, who in writing to her pupils of 
 her bereavement said, " The hand of 
 disease may soon fall upon you, and 
 you, as she we mourn, may be like the 
 frail lily that bends to the blast. And 
 she was pure as that spotless flower. 
 Who among us doubts that she has 
 gone to a better world? This is my 
 consolation when I think that this light 
 of my eyes and joy of my heart is taken 
 away. As an example of piety, of in- 
 dustry, of moral purity, of kindness to 
 equals, of respect and obedience where 
 they were due, I point you to her ex- 
 ample."

 and stately form is before my mind, 
 and I have a distinct impression of 
 the soothing quality of her motherly 
 voice. 
 
 " I once left my gloves very care- 
 lessly upon a chair, where they were 
 discovered by the Monitor, and the 
 fact reported to Mrs. Willard. When 
 I appeared in her room at the close of 
 the day, -as was then the custom, to an- 
 swer to the charge of imperfect deport- 
 ment, my naturally nervous tempera- 
 ment caused me to be greatly agitated ; 
 but the kindly tone of her voice soon 
 reassured me, and I left her presence 
 full of new courage and higher aspira- 
 tions. Every tribute to that noble wo- 
 man gives me pleasure, and I rejoice 
 in adding my faint homage."

 WoUstoncraft, Mary, 
 
 Daughter of Capt. WoUstoncraft, was 
 born in West Point, N. Y. 
 
 Her father was an Englishman, her

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 mother a native of this county. Mary 
 WoUstoncraft was a pupil in Troy Sem- 
 inary in 1825 and 1826. 
 
 Soon after leaving school she mar- 
 ried Lieut. Simms, of Mississippi, but 
 at that time stationed at West Point. 
 
 A letter written by her from the 
 pilot-house of the steamer on which 
 she with her husband had embarked 
 en route to his southern home, brings 
 our data to a sudden ending. Beyond 
 her marriage farther record is lost. 
 
 For the incidents of her remarkable 
 history up to that date, we refer the 
 reader to the interesting chapter of 
 reminiscence given by the late Mrs. 
 Price (Anne McDowell, 1825 and 1826), 
 who was the fellow-pupil and intimate 
 friend of Mary WoUstoncraft. 
 
 The pathetic memoirs of Mary WoU- 
 stoncraft, wife of the poet Shelley, are 
 scarcely more appealing to our sympa- 
 thies than is this fragment of the per- 
 sonal history of her cousin. 
 
 Separated from her mother at the 
 tender age of five years, bereft by pes- 
 tilence of her father on her voyage 
 down the river, drifting a friendless 
 waif into New Orleans, to be for years 
 the victim of rigorous and even inhu- 
 man treatment, are the recorded facts 
 which fill the tragic chapter of our 
 young heroine's early life. 
 
 Glad are we to know that through a 
 faithful mother's love and unflagging 
 efforts, the daughter was restored to 
 her northern home and its happy asso- 
 ciations, and that the pretty romance 
 of a lover beguiled her from the mem- 
 ory of her tragic childhood. 
 
 Wood, Maria, 
 
 Daughter of Gen. Thaddeus M. and 
 Patty (Danforth) Wood, was born in 
 Onondaga Valley, N. Y., in 1803. 
 
 She entered Clinton Seminary in 
 
 1818, graduating with high honors in 
 1828. Continued her studies in Troy 
 Seminary, from which institution she 
 graduated in 1825. 
 
 In 1827 she married Charles H. Ba- 
 ker, a rising lawyer of La Fayette, N. 
 Y., with whom she passed a long and 
 happy life, both living to celebrate their 
 golden wedding in 1877. Mr. Baker 
 died in 1881, followed by his wife in 
 1884. 
 
 Mrs. Baker retained throughout her 
 life a lively interest in current events. 
 She was fond of literature, and but for 
 her delicate health might have been an 
 active participant in the world's doings. 
 Her Bible was to her the book of books. 
 Of four children, two sons and two 
 daughters, only one, Miss Cornelia A. 
 Baker, survives her parents. Her resi- 
 dence is 207 East Kennedy street, 
 Syracuse, N. Y. 
 
 Wood, Martha D., 
 
 Daughter of Gen. T. M. and Patty 
 (Danforth) Wood, was born in Ononda- 
 ga Valley in 1 800. Her father was the 
 first lawyer who engaged in practice in 
 the Onondaga Courts, and her mother 
 was the first white child that lived in 
 Onondaga Co. The early education of 
 Martha Wood was pursued in Clinton 
 Seminary; later, in 1823, she entered 
 Troy Seminary, continuing until 1825. 
 She was married soon after leaving 
 school, first to Mr. Mead, of which mar- 
 riage were born a son and daughter. 
 By a second marriage Mrs. Mead be- 
 came the wife of Asa G. Talcott, a wid- 
 ower with two sons. Four children, 
 three daughters and one son, were of 
 this union ; two daughters survive. 
 
 Mrs. Talcott died in 1880 in Buffalo, 
 N. Y. Her husband's death occurred 
 two years later. 
 
 Miss Cornelia Baker, a niece of Mrs.

 dy Street, Syracuse, N. Y. 
 
 Woodbridge, Harriet, 
 
 Daughter of Hon. Ward and Mary 
 (Strong) Woodbridge, was born in Hart- 
 ford, Conn., and continued to live there 
 until entering Troy Seminary in 1826. 
 She graduated with the class of 1827. 
 In 1835 she married in Hartford, Dr. 
 William James Berry. The first few 
 years of her married life were passed 
 in Salisbury, Conn., but she afterward 
 returned to Hartford, and died there in 
 1853. She left two daughters, the eld- 
 er, Mrs. Mary Woodbridge Mines, 
 whose address is, "care Drexel, Mor- 
 gan & Co., N. Y. city." 
 
 Worthington, Eleanor Strode, 
 
 Daughter of Thomas and Eleanor 
 (Swearingen) Worthington, was born 
 in Chillicothe, O. Her father served his 
 State as U. S. Senator and Governor. 
 Her mother was a native of Virginia. 
 She was a pupil of Troy Seminary in 
 1826 ; became the wife of Dr. Athur 
 Watts. Of this marriage was born a 
 daughter, Eleanor W. Watts, who mar- 
 ried, in i858,Gen.Abram Sanders Piatt, 
 of Mac-a-Cheek, West Liberty, O. 
 
 We 'are without the date of Mrs. 
 Watts' decease, but from a family letter 
 we quote the following : " Pen would 
 fail to me to do justice to this now 
 sainted and loveliest of mothers ! 
 Under trials that might have wrung 
 complaint from the strongest, she in 
 her exquisite sensitiveness was sublime 
 and angelic, giving out only greater 
 patience and sweeter forgiveness." 
 
 Worthington, Margaret, 
 
 Daughter of Thomas and Eleanor 
 (Swearingen) Worthington, was bom 
 
 in Chillicothe, O. Her father served 
 successively as U. S. Senator, Gover- 
 nor of Ohio, and U. S. Canal Com- 
 missioner. Her mother was a native 
 of Shepherdstown, W. Virginia. 
 
 It is recorded of Margaret that she 
 was a child of unusual promise. Was 
 a pupil of Troy Seminary in 1 826. 
 
 After leaving school she devoted 
 herself to the domestic and social duties 
 of a large and hospitable home, and 
 the companionship of her widowed 
 mother. She was faithful in all her 
 relations to her church and to society. 
 Accomplished in music, she was for 
 nine years the organist of the Epis- 
 copal Church, with which she was iden- 
 tified. She married, in 1839, Edward 
 D. Mansfield, LL. D. member of F. R. S. 
 of France. He was editor of the 
 " Cincinnati Gazette," a contributor to 
 the " New York Times," the author of 
 numerous Biographies, notably of Dr. 
 Daniel Drake, and of Gen. Winfield 
 Scott. He also wrote " Mexican War," 
 " Legal Rights of Women," and " Polit- 
 ical Grammar." 
 
 There were four children : Eliza- 
 beth, Eleanor, Francis, and Margaret 
 Edith. 
 
 The family residence was in Cin- 
 cinnati until 1854, when it was removed 
 to the country place "Saymoyden," 
 near Marion, Warren Co., O., where 
 Mrs. Mansfield died in 1863. 
 
 Her daughter, Elizabeth P. Dudley, 
 of Cincinnati, in a loving tribute to her 
 sainted mother's memory writes : " Both 
 parents are buried in beautiful Spring 
 Grove Cemetery, a fit resting-place for 
 two so fond of nature and of nature's 
 God, for whom they lived and whom 
 they served."

 Mrs. Price is a member of the Epis- 
 copal Church, and has been efficiently 
 identified with its guilds. Fond of 
 reading, she finds companionship in 
 books, while her declining years are 
 comforted in the loving duty of chil- 
 dren and grandchildren. 
 
 In 1 896 her address was, Mrs. Helena 
 S. Price, Rutherford, N. J. 
 
 Anderson, Virginia H., 
 
 Daughter of William and Mary B.

 city she entered Troy Seminary in 1834, 
 graduating in 1836. 
 
 In 1837 she married William N. Bul- 
 litt, lawyer. Of twelve children, born 
 of this marriage, nine are now living. 
 The eldest son. Col. William A. Bul- 
 litt, lawyer, was for twelve years 
 Assist-Dist. Attorney for Kentucky. 
 In his youth he took part in the Civil 
 War, and while leading his regiment 
 in the battle of Rocky Ridge in Geor-

 Later he studied law in Harvard Uni- 
 versity, subsequently associated him- 
 self in the profession with his life-long 
 9 
 
 friend, the Hon. James Speed, of Louis- 
 ville, (Attorney - General under Lin- 
 coln). His sufferings from his wound 
 continuing, his health became under- 
 mined, and ultimately compelled his 
 retirement to the family home in 
 River Vale, Ind. 
 
 Two other sons, Alexander and Mal- 
 colm Bullitt, reside in Louisville. How- 
 ard Bullitt lives at Big Stone Gap, and 
 two brothers, one a physician, the other

 riage. One son died in Nashville, 
 Tenn., from wounds received in the 
 war, and a daughter fell a victim to 
 consumption. After the war Mrs. Tur- 
 pin engaged in teaching, devoting 
 some ten years to the profession, until 
 at last, uprooted by the war and its 
 consequent misfortunes, the family re- 
 moved to Louisiana, where the elder 
 children had located. Here her hus- 
 band died in 1879, ^ sudden and pain- 
 less death, without warning. 
 
 Mrs. Turpin has been an invalid for 
 many years. In a letter written to one 
 of her life-long friends, in 1895, she 
 forecasts her own demise in an affec- 
 
 tionate farewell. At that time her ad- 
 dress was, Mrs. Laura S. Turpin, care 
 Dr. S. W. Turpin, Lettsworth, Pointe 
 Couple Parish, La.

 denborgiau Church, and in the same 
 year became the wife of S. Adma 
 Coombs, of Cincinnati, O. 
 
 Three children born of this marriage 
 died in early childhood, which bereave- 
 ment was followed by the death of her 
 husband in 1834. Widowed and child- 
 less, Mrs. Coombs returned to her par- 
 ents, and in 1834 went with them to 
 Kalamazoo, Mich. Still in her youth, 
 and unreconciled to a life of inactivity, 
 she determined to resume her studies, 
 and in 1837 entered Troy Seminary as 
 a pupil. She remained one year, during 
 which time she endeared herself not 
 only to her fellow-students, but to Mrs. 
 Willard as well, whose womanly sym- 
 pathy was enlisted for one whose life 
 had been so early saddened. She pos- 
 sessed a winning personality. A friend 
 writing of the days when she was in 
 school, recalls her youthful face be- 
 neath her widow's cap, as a " vision of 
 loveliness." 
 
 On leaving Troy she returned to 
 Cincinnati, and opened a school for the 
 children of the new church (Sweden- 
 borgian,) in her own residence. Later 
 the church itself established a similar 
 school in which she taught one year, 
 when she was induced to go to Phila- 
 delphia to engage in a like enterprise. 
 Subsequently she filled the position of 
 Principal of a Girls' Grammar school 
 until her second marriage in 1852, to 
 Thomas Paschal. During her vigorous 
 years Mrs. Paschal was officially con- 
 nected with local and public philan- 
 thropies. Her sympathetic efforts were 
 especially enlisted at the time of our 
 Civil War, in the interests of soldiers 
 and their families. She modestly dis- 
 claimed all literary prestige, though she 
 at one time edited " The Little Messen- 
 ger" of the New Church, and at another 
 
 period conducted the Book Reviews of 
 that paper. 
 
 Mrs. Atlee is still living (1895) at the 
 ripe age of fourscore and four years, 
 and may be addressed, Mrs. Margaret 
 Longstreeth Paschal, Benning, D. C. 
 
 Atlee, Elizabeth Jane, 
 
 Daughter of the Rev. Edwin Agus- 
 tus and Mararet (Snyder) Atlee, was 
 born in Philadelphia, Penn., of Qua- 
 ker ancestry. Her father was son of 
 Hon. William Augustus Atlee, and 
 her mother the niece of Governor Si- 
 mon Snyder, of Pennsylvania. While 
 a child she attended the Quaker schools 
 in Philadelphia until the removal of 
 her parents in 1834, to Kalamazoo, 
 Mich. In 1837 she left Kalamazoo to 
 enter Troy Seminary, where she re- 
 mained until 1839. While in Troy 
 she united with the Episcopal Church, 
 Mrs. Emma Willard and Mr. and Mrs. 
 John H. Willard standing as her spon- 
 sors. 
 
 On leaving school in 1839 she ac- 
 companied Mrs. Emma Willard to Phil- 
 adelphia, to visit friends, after which 
 she joined her family who had taken 
 up their home in Cincinnati. Here she 
 filled the position of assistant teacher 
 in the school of Mrs. Houghton. 
 
 In 1 84 1 she married Samuel S. Nich- 
 ols, of Rochester, N. Y., and went with 
 him to live in Michigan. In 1849 they 
 removed to Philadelphia, and remained 
 until 1858, when they established their 
 home in Texas. 
 
 The war of the rebellion following 
 soon after their removal to Texas, their 
 Union sentiments subjected them to 
 trying experiences. 
 
 Communication with their friends in 
 the Northern States became rare and 
 hazardous. The education of their chil- 
 
130 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 dren was seriously interrupted. Even 
 after peace had been declared they 
 passed through bitter trials. It was 
 determined to place two of their daugh- 
 ters, (aged nineteen and thirteen years,) 
 at school in Philadelphia, where they 
 had relatives. They were obliged to 
 go by wagon from Morgan, Texas, 
 (their home), to Little Rock, Ark., 
 thence by boat to the Mississippi river, 
 and to Cincinnati. The journey proved 
 most disastrous for them, and they 
 reached the home of their aunt in Cin- 
 cinnati, only to die, the younger after 
 five days' illness, and the elder after 
 lingering for fifteen days. 
 
 Such was the disordered state of the 
 country that the tidings of their death 
 did not reach their Texas home until 
 a month had passed. 
 
 Of a family of ten children, only four 
 are now living, two sons and two daugh- 
 ters : George M. Nichols, Edwin Nich- 
 ols, Elsie and Minnie Nichols, all resi- 
 dents of Texas. 
 
 Address, 1895, Mrs. Samuel S. Nich-

 Troy. 
 
 Mrs. Stanton had herself enjoyed 
 the advantages of Mrs. Willard's 
 school, having been identified with it 
 from 1824 to 1829. As Olivia White 
 she was a pupil there, afterward filling 
 the place of teacher.

 class of 1835. 
 
 Being qualified as a teacher, she ac- 
 cepted a position in North Carolina, 
 which she filled with ability during 
 three or more years. But her hopes 
 and aspirations were not destined to 
 be fulfilled. She died in the prime of 
 her youth and usefulness in 1842.

 This data is furnished by her cousin, 
 S. L. Tyrrill, of Fox Lake, Wis., who 
 adds : " I knew her as a very bright 
 cousin, and a fine scholar. I would be 
 much pleased to learn something of 
 her after life." 
 
 He says of himself : " I am eighty- 
 two years old, and have never been ill 
 a day in my life." 
 
 Manifestly a hereditary longevity 
 for in clipping from the " Evening 
 News," of Augusta, for November 16, 
 1894, we find the subjoined remarkable 
 record of his cousin, Louisa J. Baker : 
 
 "After a year in Troy Seminary, 
 1836 to 1837, she went as a teacher to 
 the family of Gov. Carr, of Virginia,

 Barton, Eliza (" Sister Eliza"), 
 
 Daughter of Robert and Mary (Car- 
 penter) Barton, was born in Troy, 
 N. Y. 
 
 She was of Quaker parentage, her 
 family being among the earlier set- 
 tlers of Troy, herself the youngest of 
 four children ; two brothers, William 
 and Richard Barton, and an elder sis- 
 ter, who was her teacher until she was 
 placed in Troy Seminary a day scholar. 
 Two years later, after her father's 
 death, she entered the Seminary as a 
 " Teacher - Scholar," continuing from 
 1833 to 1837, and after one year's inter- 
 ruption resuming her duties as teacher. 
 
 Following her connection with the 
 Seminary she taught in a boarding- 
 school in Norwalk, Conn., for nine 
 years ; still later in Charleston, S. C, 
 during seven years ; and lastly in Bing- 
 hampton, N. Y. She closed the Board- 
 ing-School in Binghamton which she 
 had herself established and success- 
 fully conducted for fourteen years, to 
 devote herself to a new field of labor, 
 for which she was regarded as emi- 
 nently fitted. She entered, in 1874, 
 the Bishop Potter Memorial House for 
 further training in the mission work 
 of that institution, and six months later 
 was received into the order as a " Sis- 
 ter," and on the application of Bishop 
 Spaulding was sent to Denver. There 
 she was engaged in active and unceas- 
 ing labors for many years, until over- 
 work compelled her to adopt a less vig- 
 orous life, and to find her channels of 
 usefulness within more circumscribed 
 limits. She is now in the serene enjoy- 
 
 ment of a pleasant home provided by 
 the community in which she has lived, 
 and to whose philanthropies her un- 
 selfish life has been consecrated. 
 
 But while of necessity she is less ac- 
 tive, her heart is still in her work. 
 
 The lovely little woman in her black 
 garb is honored by all, and everywhere 
 welcomed as a ministering angel. 
 
 Bascomb, Eunice Semantha, 
 
 Daughter of Dorus and Chloe (Hul- 
 burd) Bascom, was born in Orwell, Vt. 
 She was one of a happy family of nine 
 children who continued to live with 
 their parents and grandparents until 
 one by one they were established in 
 homes of their own. As a farmer's 
 daughter in a rural New England town, 
 the facilities for her early education 
 were necessarily limited. From five 
 to nine years of age she attended the 
 district school both summer and win- 
 ter with her brothers and sisters ; some- 
 times there were six of them in the 
 same school, and until she was sixteen 
 years old she was a scholar in the win- 
 ter school. Her story, as given by her- 
 self at the ripe age of eighty-three, 
 is so graphic a picture of the olden 
 time that we quote from it here : 
 
 " My summer was usually spent 
 assisting my mother in household du- 
 ties, and in attendance upon the only 
 musical instrument to which I had 
 access, namely, a large spinning wheel. 
 The music of this wheel was not quite 
 as inspiriting as a violin, but it induced 
 me to move quickly, so that my day's 
 task was usually completed early in the 
 afternoon. The remainder of the day 
 was often devoted to reading, embroid- 
 ery, plain sewing, etc. 
 
 " The spinning of wool was really a 
 recreation, but the 7ow-spinning ' meant 
 work ; it was necessarily a slow process. 
 
134 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 quite too slow to be congenial. How- 
 ever, I continued the use of the wheel 
 for ten or twelve years, and could suc- 
 cessfully compete with my older sisters. 
 Possibly I was somewhat conceited in 
 the thought that I had accomplished 
 all that could be achieved in that art. 
 It was frequently my custom to place a 
 book of some favorite author upon the 
 standard of my wheel, and as I passed 
 back and forth spinning out the long 
 threads and winding them up again, 
 my eyes rested on the open book for a 
 moment, and in that way I committed 
 to memory various passages from dif- 
 ferent writers, also many chapters from 
 the Bible." 
 
 Later Miss Bascom was able to pur- 
 sue her studies under more favorable 
 conditions, in both Middlebury and 
 Burlington Seminaries, and also irf 
 North Granville, N. Y. From 1838 to 
 1839 she was a pupil in Troy Seminary ; 
 and in referring to that period as one 
 of her pleasing remembrances, she says, 
 " Mrs. John Willard taught me in Moral 
 Philosophy — a wise and able teacher, 
 and an ideal woman. Her Saturday 
 morning talks to the young ladies were 
 treasures in themselves, and were so 
 deeply impressed upon my heart and 
 memory, that my whole after life has 
 been to a certain extent influenced by 
 them." 
 
 Before going to Middlebury and 
 Burlington Seminaries she taught the 
 school in the district in which her father 
 lived, for one season, receiving as com- 
 pensation the usual amount of one 
 dollar a week and the privilege of 
 " boarding around " in different fami- 
 lies. She also taught later a select 
 school in Fairhaven, Vt. 
 
 In 1 840 she married the Rev. Henry 
 HowardBates, an Episcopal clergyman, 
 
 a graduate of Union College, Schenec- 
 tady. He pursued his theological course 
 in the Theological Seminary of New 
 York. He was ordained both deacon 
 and priest by Bishop Griswold, of Mas- 
 sachusetts, and preached five years in 
 Blandford. In 1844 he accepted a call 
 from Warehouse Point, Hartford Co., 
 Conn. Afterwards took charge of a 
 parish in Tariffville, Conn., and in 1858 
 became the Rector of the Church of 
 the Messiah, in Glens Falls, N. Y. 
 
 When the Twenty -second Regiment 
 New York State Volunteers was sud- 
 denly called at the breaking out of the 
 Civil War, the chaplaincy was offered 
 to the Rev. Mr. Bates, and accepted, 
 many of his church being officers in 
 that regiment. He remained with his 
 regiment for two years, until impaired 
 health induced his return to his home. 
 He took charge of a small parish at 
 Oak Hill, Greene Co., N. Y., where he 
 died in 1868. 
 
 Since her widowhood, Mrs. Bates has 
 made her home among her children, 
 and is now, in 1895, living with her 
 daughter, Mrs. Charles Nichols. 
 
 Her postal address is, Mrs. Henry H. 
 Bates, care Mrs. Charles Nichols, Cats-

 educational advantages which that city 
 afforded, following which a boarding- 
 school was desired for the farther ad-

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Newark, N. Y. She is now, in 1896, 
 in her eighty-third year. 
 
 Address, Mrs. Adeline Stuart, New- 
 ark, N. J. 
 
 Bonney, Mary L, 
 
 Daughter of Benjamin and Lucinda 
 (Wilder) Bonney, was born in Hamil- 
 ton, N. Y. The marked characteristics 
 of her parents were intelligence, integ- 
 rity, and piety, and under these strong 
 influences the characters of Mary Bon- 
 ney and her only brother were mould- 
 ed. 
 
 Before she was ten years old she 
 was sent from her farm home to the 
 village of Hamilton to a private school. 
 Later she attended Hamilton Acad- 
 emy, after which she took a two years' 
 course of study at Troy Seminary. She 
 graduated in 1835, and in the autumn 
 of that year she began her life-work as 
 an educator. A year each in Jersey 
 City, New York, and De Ruyter, N. Y., 
 preceded her Southern life in South 
 Carolina, and this was followed by a 
 brief residence and work in Provi- 
 dence, R. I. Afterwards she taught in 
 the school of Miss Phelps, in Phila- 
 delphia. 
 
 All this was but preliminary and pre- 
 paratory experience before embarking, 
 in 1850, in the new enterprise of Chest- 
 nut Street Female Seminary, Philadel- 
 phia. In the founding of this institu- 
 tion. Miss Harriet A. Dillage, well- 
 known and honored as a successful 
 teacher, shared the responsibility from 
 the beginning. It was in this venture 
 that Miss Bonney's Southern friends 
 proved their appreciation of her faith- 
 ful work among them, for they at once 
 became liberal patrons of the new 
 school. For a third of a century the 
 Chestnut Street Seminary of the Misses 
 
 Bonney and Dillage was maintained 
 with increasing fame and prosperity, 
 until, in 1883, it removed to "Ogontz," 
 a beautiful suburb of Philadelphia. 
 The Ogontz School for Young Ladies 
 is now recognized throughout the coun- 
 try as one of its most popular and 
 creditable institutions. 
 
 One may not, in a brief biography, 
 do justice to the subject of this sketch. 
 Her intellectual grasp, her masterful 
 judgment, her deep conscientiousness, 
 and her quick sympathies, eminently 
 qualified her for the duties of her pro- 
 fession. Her touch has been upon the 
 womanhood and motherhood of Amer- 
 ica through the thousands who have 
 come under her influence. 
 
 In Miss Bonney's early profession of 
 Christian faith, she identified herself 
 with the Protestant Episcopal Church, 
 but her subsequent views moved her 
 to a membership in the Baptist Church, 
 although her religious sympathies have 
 always been unrestricted by denomina- 
 tion or creed. She has contributed lib- 
 erally towards preparing young men 
 for the ministry, and for the educa- 
 tional opportunities of many young 
 women. Many a philanthropic organ- 
 ization has felt the impetus of her in- 
 fluence and her gifts. 
 
 Her sympathies were warmly en- 
 listed for the North American Indians 
 under Governmental injustice, and it 
 was her protest against their wrongs 
 that first called the attention of a mis- 
 sionary circle in Philadelphia to this

 the Church to zealous effort in behalf 
 of the red man. 
 
 In the words of Senator Dawes, Chair- 
 man of the Indian Committee : " It was 
 ' The Woman's National Indian Asso- 
 ciation ' which led to the new and im- 
 proved policy of the Government, to 
 Indian citizenship, and to the estab- 
 lishment of more than twenty missions 
 among the wild and destitute tribes." 
 
 In 1888 Miss Bonney visited London 
 as a delegate to the World's Mission- 
 ary Convention. While there she mar- 
 ried Thomas Rambaut, D. D., LL. D., 
 a delegate to that body. He had been 
 the friend of many years. An able 
 preacher, and a former college presi- 
 dent. His death transpired in 1 890. 
 
 Since her widowhood Mrs. Rambaut 
 has retired to the pleasant university 
 town of Hamilton, N. Y., where, in the 
 congenial companionship of an only 
 brother, and amid the scenes of her 
 happy childhood, she is in the enjoy- 
 ment of a well-earned rest. Still young 
 in heart and vigorous in philanthropic 
 purpose, she keeps her interest in cur- 
 rent events, and bears her part in many 
 an enterprise for others' good, believ- 
 ing that 
 
 " All worldly joys go less 
 To the one joy of doing kindnesses."

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 The following condensed sketcli is 
 from her own pen : 
 
 " I lived as most farmers' daughters 
 of that day, learning the mysteries of 
 housekeeping, and attending school 
 until my fifteenth year, during which 
 I taught a short summer school with 
 tolerable success, which induced me to 
 determine to fit and devote my life to 
 teaching. 
 
 " Consequently taught summer and 
 winter, and studied spring and fall. 
 
 " Hearing of the superior advantages 
 of Mrs. Willard's school, I applied for 
 admission sometime in 1831. Cannot 
 give exact dates, as I have nothing but 
 the feeble memory of a person in her 
 eighty-fourth year. 
 
 " Was interrupted in my studies a 
 while, but returned and completed the 
 prescribed course. The privilege of 
 giving diplomas was not granted Mrs. 
 Willard at that time. 
 
 " Mrs. Willard sent me as an assistant 
 to Miss Horr, a former pupil of hers 
 who was located in Circleville, Ohio. 
 Miss Horr's health failing, the school 
 was broken up, and I went into the 
 academy at Dayton, Ohio. After re- 
 maining between two and three years, 
 I went to Franklin, in the north part 
 of the State, and opened an indepen- 
 dent school and taught successfully 
 until I was united in marriage with 
 John Williams, Civil Engineer, the fifth 
 day of November, 1840. Went with 
 him to EUisburgh, N. Y., where it was 
 my destiny to spend forty-five years of 
 life. Was the mother of seven children. 
 Three have passed away, and four still 
 living. My present home is with my 
 eldest daughter in Stanton, Goodhue 
 Co., Minn. 
 
 "I rejoice that this enterprise in 
 which you are engaged will be success- 
 
 fully carried through, as I think Mrs. 
 Willard opened the way to make greater 
 achievements possible to woman than 
 were dreamed of before her day. Go 
 on : Heaven bless you, is the prayer of 
 your well wisher." 
 
 Address, in 1894, Mrs. M. Williams,

 Daughter of Calvin and Mary (Cole) 
 Britain, was born in Brownville, N. Y. 
 Her father held the rank of Major- 
 General in the militia service in the 
 war of 1812. 
 
 She industriously improved her edu- 
 cational opportunities, and as early as

 district schools. At one time she at- 
 tended the school of the Rev. James 
 R. Boyd, in Watertown, N. Y., where 
 she is said to have excelled in mathe- 
 matics. 
 
 She was a pupil in Troy Seminary 
 in 1838 and 1839. Following her year

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 in charge of a select school in Batavia, 
 N. Y., making her home at the time in 
 the family of the Rev. Dr. BoUes, who 
 in later years was the honored and be- 
 loved Rector of Trinity Church, in 
 Cleveland, O. She was for several 
 years Principal of the Seminary in 
 Niles, Mich., having gone to St. Joseph, 
 Mich, on the occasion of the death of 
 her sister, Mrs. Warren, whose two 
 little daughters were left to the care 
 of their aunt. 
 
 From 1850 to 1853 she taught in Troy 
 Seminary the classes of Criticism and 
 Rhetoric, of Kame's Elements, and 
 later she spent three years as teacher 
 in Beaufort, S. C. 
 
 For three years following she filled 
 the chair of Vice-Principal of a Semi- 
 nary in Wheeling, Va., a school estab- 
 lished by Mrs. Hanna, who still retained 
 her supervision of her Washington 
 Seminary. 
 
 Miss Britain afterwards became the 
 Principal of " Kemper Hall," in Keno- 
 sha, Wis., which name was adopted for 
 the school at the suggestion of Miss 
 Britain. 
 
 Ultimately she resigned her charge 
 of " Kemper Hall," and made her home 
 in Chicago, 111., to devote herself to 
 the care of the motherless children of 
 her sister, Mrs. Johnson, who died in 
 South Carolina in 1866. 
 
 The personal history of Miss Britain 
 furnishes rich evidence of a useful and 
 self -forgetting life spent in the service 
 of others. Referring to her early hap- 
 py relations with Troy Seminary and 
 the Willard family, she says, 
 
 "Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Willard and 
 Miss Hudson were my sponsors in bap- 
 tism, and I have always regarded this 
 event as the crowning blessing of my 
 life. I felt that the Episcopal Church 
 
 was my home, and have dearly loved 
 it."

 of governess for four years in Cam- 
 den, S. C, one year in Mississippi, and 
 later taught in Niles, Mich. In 1844 
 she returned to Camden, S. C, and in 
 1845 married William B. Johnston, of 
 Camden, S. C. Later Mr. Johnston 
 became the editor of the " South Caro- 
 linian," a paper published in Columbia, 
 S. C, to which place he removed with 
 his family. The late Civil War proved 
 disastrous to the paper, and the ulti- 
 mate burning of the city put an end 
 to its publication. Mrs. Johnson sank 
 under accumulated misfortunes, and 
 died in Columbia in 1866, leaving to 
 her sorely afflicted husband the care of 
 seven motherless children. 
 
 Miss Clarissa Britain, the sister of 
 Mrs. Johnson, nobly came to his assist- 
 ance. 
 
 She relinquished her position as 
 Principal of " Kemper Hall," in Ken- 
 osha, Wis., and established herself in 
 Chicago, making a home for the strick- 
 en band. Broken in health and spirit, 
 Mr. Johnson, after vainly struggling 
 with adverse fate, died in Chicago in 
 1871.

 the late George Vail. The family was 
 closely related to the Effinghams and 
 Lawrences of New York. Sarah Buck- 
 ley was a pupil of Troy Seminary from 
 1835 to 1838, where her development 
 did ample credit to her teachers and 
 herself. 
 
 Her qualities of mind and heart sur- 
 rounded her with friends, and her bril- 
 liant endowments and accomplishments 
 fitted her for social leadership. She 
 chose rather to devote herself to the 
 loving care of her younger brother and 
 sisters, and later to her aged grand- 
 mother, and to deeds of unostentatious 
 charity. 
 
 Her continuous home was in Troy, 
 until her death, in 1897, which sudden 
 and sad event brought deep sorrow to 
 the community. 
 
 A local paper, in announcing her de- 
 mise, said : 
 
 " It is difficult to speak in as glow- 
 ing terms as the heart would prompt 
 of so modest and unassuming a char- 
 acter as Miss Bulkley. A woman of 
 wide culture and brilliant accomplish- 
 ments." 
 
 Miss Bulkley was a member of St. 
 Paul's Church, with the guilds and 
 charities of which she was zealously

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 The death of this only brother, which 
 occurred just as he had completed his 
 collegiate course, when his sister Eliz- 
 abeth was but eleven years old, was 
 the incident in her life to which she in 
 later years attributed the aims and 
 achievements which have made her a 
 conspicuous figure in the nineteenth 
 century. 
 
 Deeply moved by her father's in- 
 consolable grief over the wreck of his 
 hopes, in the death of his only son, and 
 his vehement outburst to her when he 
 responded to her caressing sympathy 
 with the exclamation, " I wish you 
 were a boy !" she resolved that so far 
 as in her lay she would be like a boy in 
 her studies, and in the pastimes which 
 should develope in her the powers of a 
 man. She at once began the study of 
 Greek under the direction of the coun- 
 try pastor, and learned to drive, and 
 leap a fence or ditch on horse-back. A 
 little later she joined the Academy 
 classes of boys in Latin, Greek, and 
 mathematics, in which she at once took 
 creditable rank. 
 
 She entered Troy Seminary as a 
 pupil in 1830, " the fashionable school," 
 and "the intellectual Mecca" of her 
 girlhood. 
 
 Referring to Mrs. Willard, who re- 
 turned from her first visit to Europe 
 just after Elizabeth Cady's entrance to 
 the school, she says : 
 
 " I well remember her arrival, and 
 the joy with which she was greeted by 
 the teachers and pupils. She was a 
 splendid looking woman, then in her 
 prime, and fully realized my idea of 
 a queen. I doubt whether any royal 
 personage in the Old World could have 
 received her worshipers with more 
 grace and dignity than did this far- 
 famed daughter of the Republic. She 
 
 was one of the remarkable women of 
 that period, and did a great educational 
 work for her sex." 
 
 It was in the law office of Judge Cady 
 that his daughter, listening to the com- 
 plaints of his numerous clients, re- 
 ceived her first impressions of the cruel 
 injustice of the laws which denied to wo- 
 man any right of possession or redress, 
 which subject became one of the ab- 
 sorbing interests of her life. Among 
 the formative influences of her career 
 was that of her cousin Gerritt Smith, the 
 great Abolitionist. She often visited 
 in his home, where the questions of 
 human rights were freely and intelli- 
 gently discussed. It was here that 
 she met the notable author, philan- 
 thropist, and reformer, Hon. Henry B. 
 Stanton, whom she married in 1840. 
 
 The children of this marriage were 
 Daniel Cady Stanton, at one time mem- 
 ber of Louisiana Legislature, Henry, 
 Gerrit, and Robert Stanton, lawyers ; 
 Theodore, Author; Margaret, Profes- 
 sor ; and Harriet, Reformer and author. 
 
 Mrs. Stanton was one of the first to 
 espouse the cause of "Woman's Rights," 
 and has been for many years the special 
 champion of her sex in the matter of 
 securing legal recognition for women 
 as property holders. It was she who 
 in 1848 called, in Seneca Falls, N. Y., 
 the first " Woman Suffrage " conven- 
 tion ever held. 
 
 In 1895 Mrs. Stanton attained her 
 eightieth birthday. The event was 
 celebrated by the " National Council of 
 Women," in the Metropolitan Opera 
 House, where congratulations were ex- 
 tended, and an ovation paid to her as 
 the " pioneer in the cause of ' Woman's 
 Rights.' " 
 
 In 1898 Mrs. Stanton published the 
 reminiscences of her busy life, under 
 
RECORD OF PUPILS, 1832 TO 1842. 
 
 the title of " Eighty Years and More : 
 Reminiscences of Elizabeth Cady Stan- 
 ton." Recent address, Mrs. Elizabeth

 burgh.

 ily that consumption had fastened upon 
 her. Love's prayers were unavailing,

 sad consolation of tender ministry to 
 her in her last days. She failed rapid- 
 ly, and with her waning strength came 
 that unconquerable yearning of the 
 invalid to die at home.

 Crandell, Angeline B., 
 
 Daughter of Eber and Mary (Lewis) 
 Crandell, was born in Hoosick, N. Y. 
 
 She was fond of study, and through 
 her opportunities, among which was 
 her attendance upon Union Academy, 
 in Vermont, she was qualified as a 
 teacher while yet in her early girlhood. 
 Teaching was her calling, and to her 
 a delightful occupation. She began in 
 her native village, where her former 
 classmates were her pupils, but later 
 filled a position in Petersburg. Fol- 
 lowing this, in 1846, she entered Troy 
 Seminary, receiving a certificate in 
 1847. On leaving Troy she was for a 
 while in charge of a Young Ladies' 
 Seminary in Oswego, N. Y., but even- 
 tually went to the Southern states in 
 company with six other Troy pupils, 
 under the patronage of Mrs. Willard. 
 
 She relates an incident of that jour- 
 ney, as one not likely to occur under 
 present improved conditions. Her des- 
 tination was Henderson, N. C, near 
 Raleigh. She was misdirected to Hen- 
 dersonville, in a remote part of the 
 state, and the mistake cost her eighty 
 dollars — a costly geography lesson for 
 the young teacher.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Another experience-lesson for which 
 she paid a high price, is recalled as 
 evidence of the chances which befel 
 the ambitious and self-reliant young 
 women who found their field of labor 
 in the then chivalrous South. In one 
 of the colleges where she was em- 
 ployed for twelve months, she received 
 in compensation, the note of the presi- 
 dent, which is still uncancelled. More 
 fortunate engagements, however, suc- 
 ceeded the earlier mischances, and 
 teaching was to her still " a delightful 
 occupation." , 
 
 With the assistance of four teachers 
 she conducted for some years a suc- 
 cessful school in Tarborough, N. C. 
 
 In 1857 she became the second wife

 French school of Madame Grelleau, in 
 Philadelphia. She was a pupil in Troy 
 Seminary during the school year end- 
 ing in 1834.

 De Fontevieux, Pauline Gertrude, 
 
 Was born in France. 
 
 On Mrs. Emma Willard's visit to 
 
 France in 1832, she met in Paris this 
 little girl, then eleven years old, to 
 whom she was greatly attracted. The 
 child was an orphan, bright, pretty, 
 and unusually engaging, possessing 
 withal a voice remarkable for its sweet- 
 ness. Mrs. Willard conceived the idea 
 of bringing her to America, and giving 
 her such education as Troy Seminary 
 could offer. The consent of the guard- 
 ian being obtained, Mrs. Willard as- 
 sumed the responsibility of her future. 
 For eight years she was a pupil in the 
 Seminary, where she received a musi- 
 cal training that developed her fine 
 voice, and qualified her to instruct 
 others. 
 
 In 1840 she went as teacher of music 
 to the Seminary in Washington, Pa., 
 under the management of Miss 
 Sarah R. Foster, a former pupil of 
 Troy. 
 
 At the end of two years Miss Fonte- 
 vieux married Mr. William McKenna, 
 a young lawyer. Her home continued 
 to be in Washington, where as wife 
 and mother and social leader, she fully 
 realized the promise of her early years, 
 endearing herself to all who knew her 
 by her national characteristics of vi- 
 vacity and grace. Ten children were 
 born of her marriage. 
 
 A memorable visit of Mrs. Willard 
 to her adopted daughter is recorded, 
 when in crossing the mountains in a 
 lumbering stage-coach, the vehicle was 
 overturned, and Mrs. Willard suffered 
 from a broken arm. During the late 
 Civil War, no native of the United 
 States was more devoted to the cause 
 of the Union than this daughter of 
 France, or more untiring or sympa- 
 thetic in her efforts for the relief of 
 our soldiers. Mrs. McKenna died in 
 1886.

 1817. 
 
 Her father was a native of St. Lo, 
 Normandy, France, a beautiful, old, 
 half -fortified town, pervaded by an 
 atmosphere of repose and refinement. 
 There is a subtle influence in the com- 
 bination of soil and climate, rock, river, 
 and tradition, which develops charac- 
 ters of ineradicable differences that 
 generations of foreign associations do 
 not obscure, and the daintiness and 
 spirituality of the subject of this sketch 
 may readily be ascribed to her French 
 ancestry. 
 
 Her grandfather, Henri Dillaye, was 
 a Royalist, and during the Reign of 
 Terror, anxious to escape from danger, 
 came to the " New World." He pur- 
 chased a " mile square " of land in Cen- 
 tral New York, on which he built a 
 fortified dwelling, resembling the feu- 
 dal structures of France. 
 
 When peace was restored in France, 
 
 Henri Dillaye returned with his family 
 to his native land, excepting his son 
 Ren^, who remained in this country, 
 and eventually overcoming the hard- 
 ships of his pioneer life, married a 
 woman of Puritan stock, of Lebanon, 
 Columbia Co., N. Y. 
 
 The father had been a Revolution- 
 ary soldier and a godly man, who trans- 
 mitted to his daughter Clarissa his de- 
 votion to his church and his reverence 
 for its rites. She is remembered as a 
 woman of delicate organization, with a 
 love for the beautiful in nature that 
 found expression in the cultivation of 
 flowers and vines and trees, and the 
 embellishment of home surroundings. 
 
 After marriage Ren^ Dillaye first 
 established himself as a merchant in 
 Norwich, N. Y., but subsequently re- 
 moved to Plymouth (at that time known 
 as "The French Settlement," from a 
 number of families of that nationality 
 being in the vicinity). In time he be- 
 came the first man of the town. He 
 was Justice of the Peace, the first Post- 
 master, and a man of influence in the 
 surrounding country. His business 
 prospered and he became a landed pro- 
 prietor. He was a man of intelli- 
 gence, and though not in the modern 
 sense liberally educated, he delighted 
 in books. He was proverbially upright, 
 and in his citizenship and his home- 
 life alike commanded respect and affec- 
 tion. His marked courtesy to all was 
 a distinguishing feature in those days 
 of primitive directness of speech. 
 
 Reverence and obedience were the 
 law of the household in which the 
 children of Mr. and Mrs. Dillaye were 
 reared. 
 
 The family consisted of six children, 
 three sons and three daughters. AH 
 have been people of consideration.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 marked by good breeding and culture. 
 The early education of Harriette Dil- 
 laye was received at the village school, 
 where reading, writing, and arithmetic 
 were the modest curriculum. Later, at 
 the age of thirteen, she was sent with 
 her brother to a select school in Smyr- 
 na, N. Y., a few miles distant. Here 
 history and geography were added to 
 the three branches of the common 
 schools, and the fame of the teacher 
 who could successfully cope with these 
 mysteries went far and wide. 
 
 It was in the Hamilton Academy, of 
 Hamilton, N. Y., that the young girl 
 was first brought indirectly under the 
 influence of Mrs. Emma Willard. Miss 
 Helen Phelps, a daughter of Judge 
 Phelps, of Vermont, a graduate of Troy 
 Seminary, thoroughly imbued with its 
 spirit, was preceptress in this institu- 
 tion, and from her the eager young 
 pupil learned of the new steps taken 
 towards the higher education of wo- 
 men, of their personal responsibility, 
 and the necessity for fitting themselves 
 for their work. From this source came 
 to her first the consciousness that char- 
 acter is more than acquirements, and 
 the power of knowledge more to be 
 desired than knowledge itself. The 
 thought of being a teacher came to 
 her under Miss Phelps' influence in 
 Hamilton, and in pursuance of this 
 half-formed plan she decided to place 
 herself immediately under Mrs. Wil- 
 lard's instruction. 
 
 It was during her school-days in 
 Hamilton that her intimate associa- 
 tions were first established with Mrs. 
 Mary L. Bonney Rambeau, and an ac- 
 quaintance formed which ripened into 
 a life-long friendship with Mrs. Oscar 
 Taylor, of Freeport, 111. 
 
 In the spring of 1833 Squire Dillaye 
 
 and his young daughter, then just 
 passed her sixteenth year, took the 
 long journey across the central part of 
 New York State by the slow and weari- 
 some conveyance of those days. It 
 was but six weeks before the long va- 
 cation, but the young student remained 
 during the entire summer, pursuing 
 her studies, and passing a creditable 
 examination before the opening of the 
 fall term. Latin, Algebra, Geometry, 
 and Rhetoric were added to her former 
 range, awakening fresh enthusiasm. 
 The acquisition of learning was but a 
 small part of the gains received. The 
 power of Mrs. Emma Willard to mould 
 the character of those brought in con- 
 tact with her was phenomenal, and in 
 the responsive soul of this fresh disci- 
 ple she found a willing subject. There 
 could have been few of Mrs. Willard's 
 pupils so well qualified by nature and 
 temperament, as well as subsequent 
 conditions of life, to receive and trans- 
 mit the impression of her strong indi- 
 viduality as Miss Dillaye. But the 
 ambitious young girl had yet to learn 
 that our heavenly Father's leadings 
 compel endurance as well as action. 
 Soon after the opening of her first 
 term in Troy Seminary she was pros- 
 trated by a dreaded, contagious, and 
 dangerous illness. But even in this 
 bitter trial she found her compensa- 
 tion in the tender ministering and 
 unremitting personal attention of Ma- 
 dam Emma and Mrs. John Willard, 
 and in the enduring friendship of 
 those noble women, which ended only 
 with their lives. 
 
 Her delayed recovery postponed her 
 graduation, and it was not until the 
 summer of 1835 that she passed her 
 final examination. 
 
 An opportunity for entering upon

 her cliosen career was quickly offered 
 her by an interested auditor of her 
 closing recitations, but ill-health again 
 intervened for several months before 
 she began her- life-work in Jackson, 
 N. C. Here, at the age of nineteen, 
 she found herself at the head of the 
 " Ladies' Department " of the " North- 
 ampton Academy." 
 
 The daughter of the Principal was 
 afterwards committed to her care for 
 three years in the Chestnut Street 
 Seminary, and the child of one of her 
 Jackson pupils entered Ogontz under 
 her administration. Following her re- 
 turn to the North, Miss Dillaye was 
 called to fill the chair of preceptress of 
 Homer Academy, Cortland Co., N. Y., 
 then under the direction of Hon. Sam- 
 uel B. Woolworth, afterwards Chancel- 
 lor of the State. 
 
 Her next position was as Vice-Prin- 
 cipal of Norwich Academy, Chenango 
 Co., N. Y., associated with Prof. B. F. 
 Taylor, a graduate of Hamilton Col- 
 lege. She is remembered as one of 
 the most inspiring and efficient teach- 
 ers which that institution has ever 
 known, and many of her old Norwich 
 pupils date their earnest purposes and 
 intellectual aspirations from the time 
 of her advent among them. It was 
 while in Norwich that Mrs. John Wil- 
 lard, who had followed Miss Dillaye's 
 career with interest, offered her a posi- 
 tion in the old Seminary, to take 
 charge of classes in the department of 
 higher English branches. To her loyal 
 heart this proposition was the fulfil- 
 ment of a day-dream. She returned 
 joyfully to her Alma Mater, to prove 
 herself a valued assistant, and a teach- 
 er after the genuine Troy standard. 
 
 At this time Mrs. Emma Willard 
 had retired from active control of the 
 
 school, but her home was within the 
 grounds pertaining to the Seminary, 
 and its work and its workers com- 
 manded her first interest. Her sym- 
 pathetic advice was freely given to 
 her former pupil, upon whom, it was 
 apparent, a corner of her mantle had 
 fallen. Those who enjoyed Miss Dil- 
 laye's instruction in Troy, recall her 
 disinterested love of learning and her 
 zeal in guiding them towards higher 
 ideals. One of her pupils of that time 
 writes : 
 
 " It was her enthusiasm for knowl- 
 edge and culture that gave her power 
 over us. She was always on the alert 
 for some incident, fact, or beautiful 
 sentiment which she could bring to 
 her girls to arouse in them an aspira- 
 tion for higher things." 
 
 She remained in Troy five years, 
 when she received a proposition from 
 her Hamilton friend and schoolmate. 
 Miss Mary L. Bonney, to join her in 
 Philadelphia in establishing a private 
 school for girls, and in the fall of 1850 
 the Chestnut Street Seminary, Misses 
 Bonney and Dillaye, Principals, opened 
 with six boarders and twenty day 
 scholars,- increasing to double that 
 number before the close of the year. 
 For ten consecutive years Miss Dillaye 
 shared with Miss Bonney the respon- 
 sibility of the home-life of the young 
 ladies, and the literary interests of the 
 institution. Those who recall the deli- 
 cate organization of the brave little 
 woman, will not wonder that by this 
 time she seemed to have reached the 
 limitations of her endurance, and suc- 
 cumbed to a protracted illness that 
 compelled her temporary retirement. 
 
 Meanwhile the school had prospered 
 beyond the anticipation of its found- 
 ers, being recognized at the end of its 
 
164 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 first decade among the leading educa- 
 tional establishments of the country. 
 The Principals found it necessary, in 
 their increasing responsibilities, to en- 
 trust details to others, reserving to 
 themselves the instruction of the grad- 
 uating class only. But Miss Dillaye's 
 love for her profession kept her in 
 cordial familiarity with all her stu- 
 dents, and her own comment upon 
 Mrs. Willard may be fittingly applied 
 to herself, " Her visit to a class was an 
 inspiration and a benediction." She 
 was quick to commend the good, and 
 her incisive sarcasm was adequate re- 
 buke for neglected duty. Always bear- 
 ing herself with the dignity that com- 
 mands respect, she was never found 
 wanting in the sympathy that wins 
 confidence. She was Puritan in her 
 dread of situations, and French in her 
 tactful avoidance of them. 
 
 Following the example of Mrs. Wil- 
 lard, Miss Dillaye gave every week 
 " Monday Talks " on topics connected 
 with morals and manners, and these 
 were a great fulcrum of influence. 
 
 An early pupil, referring to her 
 school days under Miss Dillaye, writes, 
 " I feel that those two years have gov- 
 erned much of my life. There has 
 been little time in which I have not 
 directly felt the influence of your per- 
 sonal effort for every character in your 
 household." 
 
 Miss Dillaye united with the Presby- 
 terian Church in Plymouth, N. Y., in her 
 youth, and during a residence of thirty- 
 three years in Philadelphia was a mem- 
 ber of the church at Tenth and Walnut 
 streets, of which Dr. Henry A. Board- 
 man was pastor. While deeply attached 
 to her own branch of the Christian 
 church, and careful of its outward obser- 
 vances, she was always liberal in her at- 
 
 titude towards others. She was a mem- 
 ber of the Woman's Foreign Missionary 
 Society of the Presbyterian Church, and 
 until her removal to Ogontz belonged 
 to its executive board. She was one of 
 the first to identify herself with the 
 Philadelphia Branch of the Woman's 
 Union Missionary Society for the Hea- 
 then, and through her exertions large 
 contributions were gathered for the 
 orphanage in Calcutta. "The Pennsyl- 
 vania Industrial Home for Blind Wo- 
 men " was for her a work of special in- 
 terest, and owes much to her wise coun- 
 sel and indefatigable effort. Her life 
 was bound up with her profession, and 
 with the exception of a year of foreign 
 travel and the recreation of vacations, 
 her home was in the vineyard of her 
 heart. Following the removal of her 
 school to Ogontz, she withdrew entire- 
 ly from active responsibility, but she 
 remained the honored Principal Emer- 
 ita, and the grand-children of her girls 
 came to her for sympathy, as their 
 grandmothers did in years gone by. 
 
 Faithful and loyal as she always was 
 in every relation of life, it is her pupils 
 who most of all rise up and call her 
 blessed. 
 
 Of the happy evening of her life she 
 wrote in 1890, " Few people of my age, 
 on the verge of my eightieth year, have 
 so much in their health and surround- 
 ings to be grateful for as I have. I am, 
 from choice, uniformly at prayers at 
 7.30 A. M., retire about 10, and rise at 
 6.45. Am regularly at church when the 
 weather permits. Hearing and seeing 
 are but slightly impaired, so that lec- 
 tures, recitations and readings, and na- 
 ture contribute a fountain of varied 
 enjoyment. My room is the most beau- 
 tiful, comfortable, and convenient I 
 ever called mine. I have no cares, no

 165 
 
 responsibilities, but am most thought- 
 fully cared for in every way. I am con- 
 sciously grateful that in life's decline, 
 the last survivor of my childhood's 
 home, the lines have fallen to me in a 
 place of such varied enjoyments." 
 
 On June i, 1897, Harriette A. Dillaye 
 entered into rest, and the memorial 
 card which announced her demise, car- 
 ried this message to those who had 
 been helped and comforted in her beau- 
 tiful life, and who in her death were 
 indeed bereaved : 
 
 " She, having served her generation, 
 fell asleep." 
 
 " Grow old along with me, 
 The best is yet to be. 
 The last of life, for which the first is made. 
 Our times are in His hand. 
 Who saith, ' A whole I planned.' 
 Youth claims but half ; trust God, see all, 
 nor be afraid." 
 
 Among numerous tributes to the 
 memory of Miss Dillaye none could be 
 more comprehensive or just than the 
 following extract from a Philadelphia 
 journal : 
 
 " Miss Dillaye's Christian character 
 was the foundation of her influence. 
 Her great characteristic as a teacher 
 was the inspiration she lent to her pu- 
 pils, and the love of learning which she 
 stimulated. Her strong personality was 
 a moulding influence. As a woman 
 her charm was in her unselfishness." 
 
 The Emma Willard Association had 
 no more zealous member, to the inter- 
 ests of which institution she was de- 
 voted. As its first Vice-President she 
 continued until death one of its ablest 
 counsellors.

 tion in New England District schools, 
 and the Academy in St. Albans, Vt. 
 
 She entered Troy Seminary in 1836, 
 remaining until 1837. 
 
 She was a teacher in the Seminary 
 for a short time, but later went to 
 Keeseville, Va., and AUentown, Pa., 
 as a teacher of music, but occasional- 
 ly serving as a substitute in other de- 
 partments. She married Isaac New-

 Du Pre, Julia Clarkson, 
 
 Of Charleston, S. C, was the daugh- 
 ter of Madame Julia (Schmidt) Du Pr6, 
 who in 1 84 1 established and for many 
 years presided over the "Charleston 
 Female Seminary." 
 
 Julia Da Prd entered Troy Semi- 
 nary in 1834, and graduated in 1836. 
 
 On leaving school she accompanied 
 her mother and sister to Europe, pur- 
 suing for a number of years the study 
 of painting, under the leading masters 
 of Paris. 
 
 In 1 841 she married in France, Henry 
 Brentuel Bonnetheau, son of Peter 
 Bonnetheau, one of the founders of the 
 Huguenot Church in Charleston. 
 
 During their stay in Paris a large 
 fire in Charleston brought heavy losses 
 to Madame Du Pr^. The family re- 
 turned to Charleston, and bravely met 
 their reverses by opening a school in 
 1 84 1, which until 1861 was widely and 
 favorably known as " The Charleston 
 Female Seminary." Mdme. Bonne- 
 theau devoted herself assiduously to the 
 retrieving of her mother's fortunes, con- 
 tributing signally to the success and 
 reputation of the school, not alone by 
 her intructions in painting, for which 
 her attainments eminently qualified her, 
 but by her charming personality. Mr. 
 Bonnetheau, himself an artist, shared 
 his young wife's responsibilities in the 
 well-equipped studio of the school. 
 
 Retaining the social prestige of her 
 more prosperous days, Mrs. Bonne- 
 theau was able to introduce into the 
 most aristocratic circles of Charleston 
 the young ladies whose education had 
 been conducted in the school of Mme. 
 Du Pr^. The daughters of such his- 
 toric families as the Gadsens, the Pick-

 ens, the Brooks, and the Evans, repre- 
 sentatives of Southern families who 
 lived upon their broad plantations be- 
 fore the War, were chaperoned by this 
 beautiful woman, whose charms and 
 accomplishments they could but emu- 
 late. Mdme. Bonnetheau died in 1869, 
 survived by one son, Henry Du Pr6 
 Bonnetheau, whose home is in Jackson- 
 ville, Florida. 
 
 A number of paintings from his mo- 
 ther's brush are in his possession, but 
 the greater part of her work was de- 
 stroyed by fire during the last War. 
 
 Du Pre, Marie Elizabeth Seabrook, 
 
 Was the daughter of Madame Ju- 
 lia (Schmidt) Du Prd, of Charleston, 
 S. C. 
 
 She entered Troy Seminary in 1 834, 
 and graduated in 1836. She visited 
 Europe with her mother and sister, and 
 for five years she studied music in 
 Paris under the best instructors of the 
 day. On her return to this country in 
 1 84 1 she taught both Vocal and Instru- 
 mental Music in the school of Madame 
 Du Pr6. In 1845 she became the second 
 wife of Dr. Samuel H. Dickson, a dis- 
 tinguished physician of Charleston, 
 later the Dean of Jefferson Medical 
 College, Philadelphia. Four children : 
 Henrietta, Lalage, Henry, and William. 
 
 Like her sister, Mme. Bonnetheau, 
 Mrs. Dickson possessed unusual beauty 
 of person, and with her rare accom- 
 plishments reflected much credit upon 
 the school with which she was for a 
 time identified. 
 
 Mrs. Dickson died in 1873, in Florida, 
 where she had gone in pursuit of health, 
 the family residence being at that time 
 in Philadelphia. 
 
 Dusinbury, Caroline M., 
 
 Daughter of William C. and Ruth 
 
 (Anderson) Dusinbury, was born in 
 Seneca Co., N. Y. 
 
 Her father was a farmer, and her 
 early life was passed in the retirement 
 of the country. 
 
 She went from South Hero, Vt., to 
 Troy Seminary in 1835, remaining until 
 
 1837- 
 
 She taught for some years after leav- 
 ing Troy. 
 
 She was twice married, first in 1853 ; 
 was left a widow in i860. During her 
 widowhood she engaged in teaching in 
 Kankakee, 111. She also rendered effi- 
 cient service in the late war as hospital 
 nurse. In 1869 she married Chauncey 
 Chipman, who died in 1881. 
 
 Mrs. Chipman has been a life-long 
 member of the M. E. Church. 
 
 On the eighty-fourth anniversary of 
 her birth, recently celebrated in Kanka- 
 kee, she received a large delegation of 
 visitors who delight to honor her, and 
 who in their honest tribute style her 
 " Auntie Chipman, one of the salt of 
 the earth." 
 
 Her address, in 1895, is, Mrs. Chaun- 
 cey Chipman, Kankakee, 111. 
 
 Eaton, Sarah Cady, 
 
 Daughter of Prof. Amos B. Eaton, of 
 Renns. Polytechnic Institute, and Anna 
 (Bradley) Eaton, was born in Williams- 
 town, Mass. 
 
 She enjoyed the superior advantage 
 of her father's intellectual training 
 preparatory to her entering Troy Semi- 
 nary in 1830, where she graduated in 
 1839. 
 
 She was a successful teacher in the 
 Academy of Onondaga, N. Y., and later 
 filled the chair of Preceptress in Fay- 
 ette ville Academy. In 1845 she held a 
 position in Troy Seminary. 
 
 She taught for many years in Mon- 
 ticello Seminary, in Pomfrey, 111., with

 Miss Fobes, Principal. Later Miss 
 Eaton and Miss Fobes were in associate 
 charge of a school in Rochester, N. Y. 
 until the failure of Miss Eaton's health, 
 when they both retired to New Haven, 
 Conn., making that city their home 
 until the death of Miss Eaton in 1881. 
 Miss Eaton's career as a teacher de- 
 serves more than a passing notice. 
 
 Inheriting from her distinguished fa- 
 ther not only his intellectual strength 
 but also the rare power of interesting 
 and enthusing her pupils, her influ- 
 ence was most potent in drawing them 
 to the highest plane of thought and 
 action. 
 
 Miss Eaton was a sister of Brig. Gen. 
 Amos B. Eaton, U. S. A., of New Haven, 
 and Humboldt Johnson Eaton. 
 
 Prof. Daniel Cady Eaton, who filled 
 the chair of Botany in Yale College 
 from 1864 to 1895, was her nephew. 
 Mrs. Frances Eaton White, of New 
 Haven, is a niece of Miss Sarah Cady 
 Eaton.

 Ellis, Charlotte W., 
 
 Daughter of William and Lydia 
 (Webster) Ellis, was born in Berlin, 
 Conn. 
 
 When eight years old her parents 
 removed to New Britain, Conn. Her 
 early life was spent upon the farm ; 
 a bright, merry girl, the second of nine 
 children. 
 
 As a child she gave promise of un- 
 
 usual ability, and rapidly developed a 
 power for acquiring and retaining 
 knowledge. When twelve years old 
 she was a pupil of the Burritt Semi- 
 nary, Elijah H. Burritt, Principal, as- 
 sisted by his brother, Elihu Burritt, both 
 of these distinguished scholars being 
 natives of New Britain. Under their 
 instructions Charlotte made a fine rec- 
 ord in the higher English branches and 
 the languages. 
 
 At fourteen she entered the New 
 Britain Academy, taught by Levi Nel- 
 son Tracy, a graduate of Dartmouth 
 College. 
 
 When but fifteen she was an assist- 
 ant to Elihu Burritt, in his school in 
 Glastonbury, Conn. 
 
 In 1834 she entered Troy Seminary, 
 devoting two years to close study. 
 
 In 1836, through the recommenda- 
 ation of Mrs. Willard, she went as teach- 
 er to Camden, S. C, in a Ladies' Semi- 
 nary under the management of Miss 
 Stella Phelps. Miss Ellis remained with 
 Miss Phelps five years, returning in 
 1 841 to her New Britain home. On the 
 resignation of Miss Phelps, Miss Ellis 
 was recalled to Camden, remaining 
 until 1846, when she married Thomas 
 G. Huddleston, of Georgia, a widower 
 with two little daughters. After this 
 marriage Mr. and Mrs. Huddleston 
 settled in Clay Co., Mo., Mr. Huddles- 
 ton being a slave-holder. Two daugh- 
 ters and one son were born of this 
 marriage. 
 
 Eventually, wishing to remove their 
 children from the influence of an in- 
 stitution which was already declining, 
 the family located in the non-slave- 
 holding State of Illinois, upon a farm 
 near the town of Warsaw, in a home

 Huddleston met the responsibilities of 
 wife and mother with the intelligent 
 conscientiousness that had marked her 
 earlier experience. 
 
 While a pupil in Troy she had 
 united with the Presbyterian Church 
 of the Rev. Dr. Beman, and in her 
 Western home she and her husband 
 identified themselves with the pioneer 
 work of that denomination. 
 
 The education of their children bore 
 heavily upon her mind, for at that time 
 good schools in that vicinity were not 
 established. To meet the exigency 
 Mr. Huddleston built a small school- 
 house on his premises, connecting 
 with the residence ; and here Mrs. 
 Huddleston once more took up her 
 favorite work as teacher. With her 
 young family around her she was hap- 
 py in the development of their bright 
 and active minds. 
 
 But a great sorrow came to her, 
 which for a time overwhelmed her. 
 Her only son of twelve, inheriting 
 much of his mother's intellectual abil- 
 ity, died, and it seemed at first that the 
 mother would never rally from the 
 shock. 
 
 In 1863 Mr. Huddleston decided to 
 remove his family to Iowa City, Iowa, 
 the University town of the State, and 
 here among new and congenial sur- 
 roundings her interest in life and in- 
 tellectual pursuits was revived. She 
 won many friends, and in all her rela- 
 tions to society was hopeful and sym- 
 pathetic. 
 
 Again death entered their happy 
 home, and her eldest daughter, a beau- 
 tiful girl of twenty, was taken from her. 
 Although the mother bore her afflic- 
 tion with marked resignation, her near- 
 est friends could not fail to recognize 
 the fatal signs of her own decline. At 
 
 this time her thoughts were turned to- 
 wards the doctrine of the " New Jeru- 
 salem," and after a year's deliberation 
 she united with the Swedenborgian 
 Church. 
 
 In 1887 the death of her devoted 
 husband seemed to take from her the 
 courage and motive for living, and she 
 rapidly succumbed to a disease that had 
 been gradually sapping her vitality. 
 She survived her husband but three 
 months, and entered into rest Nov. 24, 
 1887. 
 
 Ellis, Frances L., 
 
 Daughter of Grindal R. and (Whit- 
 ney) Ellis, was born in Brattleboro, 
 Vt. Attended Troy Seminary in 1837. 
 
 She became the wife of Russell, 
 
 of Montpelier, Vt., where she resided 
 until her death. She was survived by 
 her husband and one daughter. Sub- 
 sequently they removed to New Or- 
 leans, where the daughter married 
 Cushing, of that city. 
 
 Emerson, Frances P., 
 
 Daughter of Sylvester and Myra 
 (Hinsdale) Emerson, was born in Ches- 
 ter, Mass. Was a pupil in Troy Semi- 
 nary in 1831 and 1832. Remained un- 
 married. Died many years ago in 
 Winsted, Conn.

 late Mrs. Bigelow, formerly Mrs. Sears, 
 a teacher in the Seminary. 
 
 Esselstyn, Maria, 
 
 Daughter of Isaac and Ann Eliza 
 (Hoffman) Esselstyn, was born in 
 Claverack, N. Y. Later her family 
 moved to Kinderhook, N. Y. At the 
 age of fourteen years she entered the 
 Seminary in Hudson, N. Y., under 
 Mrs. William Sanford. Two years later 
 she went to Troy, where she graduated

 in 1839. Remained at home until her 
 marriage, in 1844, to Col. James Bain, 
 President of the Kinderhook Bank. 
 Continued in Kinderhook for two years; 
 lived seven years in Chatham Center, 
 N. Y., and ultimately established a 
 home on a farm in the township of 
 Kinderhook, naming it, "Vallelawn." 
 
 Col. Bain died in 1892, survived by 
 his widow and one son, Isaac Eeselstyn 
 Bain, who married Miss Eva C. Storms, 
 of New Jersey. 
 
 Their home is with his mother, where, 
 like his father before him, he finds 
 congenial occupation in the cultivation 
 of " Vallelawn," and is also a Director 
 in the Bank of which his father was 
 President.

 Kinderhook, N. Y. 
 
 Evans, Sarah, 
 
 Daughter of Jason and Gratia T. 
 (Taylor) Evans, was born in Rutland, 
 Vt. 
 
 Her father died in her early youth, 
 and the care and support of a family 
 of nine children devolved upon the 
 mother, a resolute, energetic, New- 
 England woman, who met her respon- 
 sibilities with a brave heart and effi- 
 cient ability. 
 
 Sarah attended the village schools 
 in Hinsdale, N. Y., where the family 
 lived subsequent to her father's death. 
 
 She advanced rapidly in her studies, 
 and when still very young became a 
 successful teacher in the schools of 
 that vicinity. Later, through the 
 generosity of an uncle, she was enabled 
 to enter the Greenfield High School 
 for one year. Following that oppor- 
 tunity came a year in Troy Seminary, 
 in 1839 ^^^ 1840. 
 
 In the Autumn of 1840 she left home 
 
 for the South, going by stage-coach 
 from Hinsdale to Boston, thence by 
 sailing vessel to New Orleans, and then 
 up the Mississippi River into Yazoo 
 Co. Here she taught until her raar- 
 rage, in 1844, to Samuel G. Fowler, a 
 cotton planter of Mississippi. Mr. 
 Fowler afterwards removed his family 
 to the Mississippi sea-coast, where he 
 died of yellow fever in 1858. Through 
 financial reverses preceeding the death 
 of her husband, Mrs. Fowler was left 
 in her widowhood with four children 
 to provide for. Her early experience 
 and the potent influence of Troy Semi- 
 nary served her in this exigency, for 
 she resumed her teaching in music and 
 literature, and was enabled to care for 
 and educate her children, until they 
 in turn could provide for her. 
 
 For many years she was an invalid, 
 but through all she was sustained by 
 an unfaltering faith, and even in her 
 years of waning strength her Chris- 
 tian life was a benediction. She died 
 in Handsboro, Miss., in 1894. 
 
 Of six children, but three survive 
 her.

 people, but possessed of practical sense 
 and thorough integrity. 
 
 Miss Foster early in life devoted her- 
 self to the profession of teaching, but 
 not satisfied with her acquirements, 
 she gained the consent of her parents 
 to attend the Seminary in Troy, where 
 she entered as pupil in 1833, remain- 
 ing two years. 
 
 She conceived the deepest admira- 
 tion for Mrs. Emma Willard, yielding 
 herself implicitly to her guidance, and 
 to her latest years rendering her the 
 tribute of grateful affection. 
 
 Recommended by Mrs. Willard, she 
 went to Cadiz, Ohio, and established a 
 prosperous school for girls, which she 
 maintained for a number of years, 
 until urged to become the Principal of 
 the Washington Female Seminary in 
 Washington, Pa., which position she 
 accepted in 1840. She at once infused 
 new life and vigor into the school, the 
 influence of which was felt throughout 
 the surrounding country. 
 
 Washington was an educational cen- 
 tre, and many distinguished visitors 
 were entertained within the hospitable 
 walls of the old Seminary. 
 
 In 1848 Miss Foster married the Rev. 
 Thomas Hanna, D. D., of Cadiz, Ohio. 
 At this date Dr. Hanna removed to 
 Washington, and became pastor of the 
 United Presbyterian Church of that 
 place. 
 
 A former pupil has described Miss 
 Foster, on her arrival in Washington, 
 as tall and awkward in manner, but 
 betraying an energy and firmness of 
 character that at once inspired respect. 
 
 The years dealt kindly with her, 
 softening the sternness of her features 
 and rounding her tall, spare figure to 
 fine proportions, gradually transform- 
 ing the plain woman into an attractive 
 
 and stately matron. Her graceful 
 manners and an exquisite taste in 
 dress, were the admiration of those 
 who knew her. 
 
 Her life was a busy one, and her ex- 
 ecutive ability remarkable. She not 
 only managed the school in Washing- 
 ton, but at the same time superintend- 
 ed the affairs of a Seminary in Wheel- 
 ing, Va., and a third in Xenia, Ohio. 
 
 In 1874 she retired from active duty, 
 and in 1886, after a serene old age, 
 " entered into rest."

 at sixteen, and continued through five 
 successive seasons. In 1835 she en- 
 tered Troy Seminary for one year. 
 Subsequently she filled the position 
 of governess in Northampton, Vt., and 
 later in South Lanesborough, Mass. 
 
 In 1838 she opened a private school 
 for girls, which, assisted by her sister, 
 she conducted successfully for a num- 
 ber of years. 
 
 In 1846 she married Dr. Henry Bagg, 
 of Louisville, Lewis Co., N. Y. In 
 1 850 they removed to Sheboygan, Wis., 
 and a few years after to Wauconda, 
 Lake Co., 111., where Dr. Bagg died in 
 1865. 
 
 In 1867, Mrs. Bagg, with her only 
 son, removed to Aurora, 111., continu- 
 ing there until her death in 1 888. 
 
 The son, Howard Bagg, is a lover 
 both of music and painting, but has 
 devoted himself to the profession of 
 Landscape Artist. 
 
 One of the later and younger teach- 
 ers in the school which Mrs. Bagg 
 established before her marriage, was 
 Miss Lucinda T. Guilford, afterwards 
 for many years a popular and well- 
 known educator in Cleveland, O. From 
 the present standpoint of Miss Guil- 
 ford's successful career, the subjoined 
 extract from her recent letter concern- 
 ing Frances Greene's influence upon 
 her life, reads like romance, while it 
 bears witness to the discernment of 
 the noble woman whom she honors as 
 her benefactor. What is yet more rel- 
 avant is the direct succession, which 
 it emphasizes, of the far-reaching ben- 
 efits of Troy Seminary. 
 
 Miss Greene once wrote, " The year 
 I spent in Troy Seminary was one of 
 the most profitable of my life. 
 
 In these later times Miss Guilford 
 says of Miss Greene, 
 
 " No other person had so great an 
 influence on my character. To her I 
 owe the education that determined my 
 course of life. I had been working in 
 Crane 's Paper Mills in Dalton, with 
 my young sister, both of us worse 
 than orphaned, and my five youngest 
 brothers thrown on the world home- 
 less. 
 
 " Miss Greene took me into her home

 and her great loving heart. She fitted 
 me to enter Mount Holyoke Seminary, 
 and paid the fee, sixty dollars, for the 
 year, besides other expenses which my 
 scanty earnings in the mill, and two 
 summer's wages as district school 
 teacher did not enable me to meet. 
 
 " Nor was this all, for she gave me a 
 friendship strong and deep and faith- 
 ful, that was my comfort and my stay 
 to the very end of her life. All this 
 I have written, not for my personal 
 history, but to testify to the genuine 
 benevolence that enriched the life of 
 Frances Greene."

 Her hand was open in charity. She 
 gave the sum of twenty-five thousand 
 dollars to endow the Preceptor's chair 
 in Cazenovia Seminary.

 later years. She greatly enjoyed ar- 
 chaeological research and the study of 
 Art. In early life she mastered the 
 Latin, French, German, and Italian 
 languages, and in her maturer years 
 qualified herself in Greek and Hebrew. 
 
 With all her acquirements and ac-

 its purposes and possessions, ended in 
 189S, in West Troy.

 ing instruction in the higher English 
 branches, while her sister taught

 1857, when they established their home 
 in Newport, Ky. Of this marriage 
 there were five sons and three daugh- 
 ters. 
 
 Mrs. Rice died in Newport in 1882. 
 Through long years of delicate health, 
 with an engrossing devotion to her 
 family, she made her home the center 
 of her loving duty, but the gentle in- 
 fluences of her beautiful life reached 
 far beyond, impressing themselves 
 upon all who knew her. 
 
 While she lived she cherished the 
 memories of her happy days in Troy, 
 and her admiration for Mrs. Emma 
 Willard never waned. Her husband 
 died in 1888, and three sons have since 
 followed the parents. A daughter, 
 Julia Hall Rice, lives at 204 Monmouth 
 Street, Newport, Ky. 
 
 Halsted, Eliza Rebecca, 
 
 Daughter of Roswell and Prudence 
 (Jones) Halsted, born in Pittstown, 
 N. Y., was a pupil in Troy Seminary 
 in 1832. Her family removed to Troy 
 in her childhood, in which city she 
 continued to reside until her death in 
 1889. She was an invalid for many 
 years. 
 
 Halsted, Mary J., 
 
 Daughter of Roswell and Prudence 
 (Jones) Halsted, was born in Pitts- 
 town, N. Y., later removing to Troy, 
 
 where the family residence was estab- 
 lished at 40 State Street. 
 
 She enjoyed the early advantages of 
 the preparatory schools of that city 
 until 1832, when she entered the Sem- 
 inary as a pupil, graduating in 1838. 
 
 In 1843 she married John A.Wheeler, 
 formerly of Troy, but at the time of his 
 marriage a resident of Cleveland, O. 
 
 In their new home both Mr. and 
 Mrs. Wheeler quickly identified them- 
 selves with the interests of the then 
 prosperous city, and continued during 
 their lives to hold prominent places 
 among its leading and influential citi- 
 zens. 
 
 Three daughters were born of this 
 marriage, two dying in childhood. A 
 surviving daughter, Mrs. J. Milnor 
 Coit, of St. Paul's School, Concord, 
 N. H., writes, 
 
 " I am deeply interested in the en- 
 terprise of the Emma Willard Associa- 
 tion. I recall with pleasure my dear 
 mother's reminiscences of her life at 
 the Seminary, and among my treas- 
 ures are many of her compositions 
 written while there, with notes of ser- 
 mons, which the pupils were required 
 to take on Sunday in the various 
 churches. 
 
 " On the walls of my present home 
 there hang some drawings and paint- 
 ings, precious souvenirs to me of my 
 mother's skilful use of pencil and 
 brush." 
 
 Mrs. Wheeler died suddenly in 1887, 
 at the residence of Col. AVilliam Hull, 
 of Lamar, Miss., where she and her 
 husband were making a brief visit on 
 their return from the South, where 
 they had for many years spent the 
 spring months. Mr. Wheeler survived 
 his wife but a few years. Mrs. Wheeler 
 was a communicant of the Episcopal

 Church, and a zealous, efl&cient worker 
 in the various philanthropies. 
 
 Her tender and sympathetic nature 
 responded readily to the needs of the 
 unfortunate, while her amiability and 
 vivacity made her the joy and comfort 
 of her friends. Truly may it be said 
 that in her life was exemplified the 
 sentiment of Herbert : "Be useful 
 where thou livest, that they may both 
 want and wish thy pleasing presence 
 still." 
 
 Hamblin, Clarissa, 
 
 Daughter of Myron and Clarissa 
 (Wickes) Hamblin, of Troy, N. Y., was

 1844, the Rev. William C. Boyce, of 
 Lockport, N. Y. Of this marriage are 
 two children : Hamilton Boyce, living 
 in San Francisco, Cal., and Mrs. Allen 
 G. Bigelow, of Harrisburgh, Pa. 
 
 Mrs. Boyce was for many years a 
 member of the Presbyterian Church. 
 Her death occurred in Lockport in 
 1892. 
 
 Handy, Margaret Smith, 
 
 Daughter of Isaac Penrose and Mar- 
 garet (Handy) Smith, was born in 
 Snow Hill, Worcester Co., Md. Her 
 parents were natives and permanent 
 residents of Snow Hill, but when Mar- 
 garet was two years old she was 
 adopted by her maternal uncle, George 
 Handy, of Philadelphia, whose name 
 
 she took, and in whose home she was 
 reared. 
 
 She was a pupil in Troy Seminary 
 (as nearly as can be authenticated) in 
 1838 and 1839. Married, in 1842, Dan- 
 iel M. Bates, M.D., of Dover, Delaware. 
 
 All her married life was passed in 
 Delaware, and she died in Wilming- 
 ton in 1870. Four children survive 
 her : Geo. H. Bates, a lawyer of Wil- 
 mington, Del. ; Mrs. Austin Harring- 
 ton, Wilmington ; the Rev. Daniel M.

 Harrington, Lucina A., 
 
 Daughter of Lyman and Althine 
 (Bruce) Harrington, was born in Lon- 
 donderry, Vt. Later she resided in 
 Manchester, Vt., and from there went 
 to Troy Seminary in 1838. In the 
 same year she married A. P. Lyman, 
 of Bennington, Vt., where she con- 
 tinued to live until her death in 1883. 
 
 Two children were born of this mar- 
 riage : Ellen E., and John S. Lyman. 
 
 Harrington, Mary Bruce, 
 
 Daughter of Lyman and Althine 
 (Bruce) Harrington, was born in Man- 
 chester, Vt. 
 
 At the age of eleven she was sent to 
 school in Newfane, Vt., and later at- 
 tended the Walpole Academy in New 
 Hampshire, having her home in the 
 family of Dr. Kittridge, a noted physi- 
 cian of that town. She was also a pu- 
 pil of the Bennington Academy, from 
 which she went to Troy Female Semi- 
 nary, where she graduated in 1837.

 ing. Portraits of Gov. Isaac Tichenor, 
 and Gov. Hiland Hall, still in the State 
 House, in Montpelier, were executed 
 by her. 
 
 In 1838 she married Phineas Lyman 
 Robinson, a cotton manufacturer and 
 merchant of Bennington, Vt. Here 
 her entire married life was spent. 
 
 Her husband died in 1883. Address,

 Hart, Harriette Howard, 
 
 Daughter of Richard P. and Betsey 
 Amelia (Howard) Hart, born in Troy, 
 N. Y. Attended Troy Seminary from 
 1827 to 1834. Married M. E. Thomp- 
 son Doughty, of Troy. Died in 1870 
 
 Hart, Emma, 
 
 Daughter of Jesse and Lucy (Berck- 
 ley) Hart, was born in Berlin, Conn. 
 Her father was the half-brother of Mrs. 
 Emma Willard. 
 
 She was left motherless in early 
 childhood, and received by Mrs. Wil- 
 lard into her family, where she lived 
 as an adopted daughter, and enjoyed 
 the educational advantages of Troy 
 Seminary until her marriage. She 
 proved an apt scholar, and completed 
 the full course of study, graduating 
 in 1835. Following this she taught 
 in the Seminary classes in Algebra, 
 Geometry, and Philosophy. At in- 
 tervals she filled the position of private 
 secretary to Madam Willard. 
 
 On the return of Mrs. Willard from 
 Europe in 1830, Emma Hart prepared 
 for the press her Aunt's " Journal of 
 Travels," the avails of which Mrs. 
 Willard presented to the school for 
 girls in Greece, in which she had be- 
 come much interested. Emma Hart 
 married, in 1837, Howard White, a law- 
 yer of New York City, a man of much 
 
 ability. He lived but four years after 
 marriage, dying of consumption. Mrs. 
 White, with her two children, a son 
 and daughter, returned to the home 
 of her parents in New Haven, Conn. 
 
 On the death of her daughter she 
 resumed her place upon the corps of 
 teachers in Troy, where she endeared 
 herself to all, and was an especial 
 solace to her aunt. 
 
 But the insidious disease that had 
 taken her husband from her had 
 marked her for its victim, and scarcely 
 a year passed before her own failing 
 health compelled her retirement. 
 
 She died at her father's home in 
 New Haven, in 1847, i° the prime of 
 a useful womanhood. Her only sur- 
 viving child, a boy of unusual promise, 
 entered Yale College, but died during 
 the Freshman year. 
 
 Mrs. Willard mourned her death as 
 that of a daughter, and at the public 
 exercises of the close of the year in 
 which Mrs. White died, she pronounced 
 a touching tribute to the memory of 
 her beloved niece. 
 
 Hart, Elizabeth, 
 
 Daughter of R. P. and Betsey Amelia 
 (Howard) Hart, was born in Troy, N. Y., 
 attended Troy Seminary in 1836 and 
 1837. Married John Augustus Gris- 
 wold. Of this marriage there were 
 seven children. Mrs. Griswold died at 
 her home in Troy in 1891. 
 
 Hart, Jane Porter, 
 
 Daughter of Jessie and Lucy (Berck- 
 ley) Hart, entered Troy Seminary in 
 1836, graduated in 1841, and as scholar 
 and teacher was identified with the 
 Seminary until 1847. 
 
 Her father was brother of Mrs. Em- 
 ma Williard. Her sisters were earlier 
 pupils of the school.

 Following her graduation she taught 
 drawing and painting in the Seminary 
 until 1847, i^ which year she accepted 
 a position in a school for Young Ladies, 
 in Montpelier, Ga., under the auspices 
 of Bishop Elliot. 
 
 Subsequently she resided several 
 years in New York city, alternately 
 teaching and studying, availing herself 
 of such advantages as New York then 
 afforded, before schools of Art were 
 open to women as now. Students were 
 compelled, in those days, to wander 
 from one studio to another, seeking 
 advice as to where and how they could 
 find an instructor. 
 
 There were two noble men and true 
 artists who gave a listening ear and a 
 helping hand to a little band of earnest 
 aspiring young women, of which Miss 
 Hart was one. The studios of Daniel 
 Huntington and I. F. Cropsey were 
 kindly opened to them, and the faith- 
 ful and courteous criticism of these 
 artists was a priceless aid to the am- 
 bitious art students. 
 
 In 1856 Miss Hart married William 
 Dodd, of Cincinnati, O., where she has 
 since lived. For a period of years her 
 interest in Art was subservient to the 
 more absorbing responsibilities of 
 home-life and the sacred duties of 
 motherhood. A son and two daugh- 
 ters were born, and in their training 
 and the care of her well-appointed 
 household Mrs. Dodd was diverted 
 from the congenial pursuits of her 
 earlier life. 
 
 As the years passed by and the chil- 
 dren were grown, the old love awa- 
 kened, and when in 1875 a band of 
 enthusiastic women was moved to ac- 
 complish something creditable in the 
 way of Women's work for the Centen- 
 nial Exhibit in Philadelphia in 1876, 
 she found herself ready to join the 
 
 ranks of workers. Her name stands 
 among those who gave Cincinnati a 
 reputation for Women's Art work, in 
 its display of wood-carving and China 
 decoration. 
 
 In Harper's Magazine for May, 1881, 
 will be found mention of Mrs. Dodd's 
 later work in pottery. Increasing years 
 and waning strength limit her present 
 undertakings but they cannot diminish 
 her interest in her fascinating pursuit. 
 
 Mrs. Dodd was especially helpful in 
 providing for a representation of Cin- 
 cinnati Art work at the Chicago Ex- 
 position. 
 
 Referring to her Alma Mater and 
 the movement to perpetuate the name 
 of its founder, Mrs. Dodd says, " Future 
 generations will honor those who to- 
 day honor the name of Emma Willard, 
 one of the grandest and noblest women 
 of the Nineteenth Century." 
 
 Address, in 1898, Mrs. William Dodd, 
 Mount Auburn, Cincinnati, O. 
 
 Mrs. Dodd is now a widow, her hus- 
 band having died in 1896. 
 
 Hart, Julia B., 
 
 Daughter of Freedom and Eunice 
 (Berckley) Hart, was bom in Berlin, 
 Conn. Her father was the half-brother 
 of Mrs. Emma Willard. 
 
 She was a pupil in Troy Seminary 
 from 1833 to 1835, after which date she 
 engaged in teaching. 
 
 She married H. W. Heath, of Rose-

 Her father was at one time a teacher 
 in Baltimore, Md., but afterwards lived 
 upon his plantation in Pensacola, Fla., 
 where he died. Her mother was a 
 native of Portsmouth. N. H. 
 
 The early childhood of Ellen Hatha- 
 way was passed in the Florida home, 
 but the associations of her later years 
 have been chiefly with New England. 
 Her home was in Portsmouth, N. H., 
 when she became a pupil in Troy 
 Seminary in 1839. Here, with other 
 studies, she gave special attention to 
 Music, French, and Drawing, which 
 she afterwards taught in Syracuse, 
 N. Y. 
 
 In 1840 she married Col. W. Brown, 
 in Worcester, Mass. Three children 
 were born of this marriage, one son 
 only now living. 
 
 With her varied accomplishments, 
 Mrs. Brown has held the pen of a 
 ready-writer, finding scope for her tal- 
 ents in the field of journalism. She 
 was the war and Washington corre- 
 spondent of the " Providence Journal " 
 for many years, over the signature of 
 
 "Shirley," and an early writer for 
 "Parley's Magazine" and "Youth's 
 Companion." 
 
 She has been for more than fifty 
 years a resident of Providence, R. I., 
 where Col. Brown died in 1890. Though 
 she has outlived the most of her fam- 
 ily, and sits now in the shadows of 
 failing sight, she still keeps a cheerful 
 interest in life, and is able to furnish 
 this brief record of a busy and useful 
 life. 
 
 She may be addressed, Mrs. Ellen 
 Hathaway Brown, 53 Waterman Street, 
 Providence, R. I., or at her summer 
 home, Prospect House, Rutland, Mass. 
 
 Hay, Eliza Johnston, 
 
 Daughter of Archibald and Clarissa 
 (Upham) Hay, was born in Hartford, 
 N. Y. She was a descendant, on her 
 mother's side, from one of the English 
 colonists, John Upham by name, who 
 came from England in 1635 and set- 
 tled the town of Weymouth, Mass., 
 afterwards going to Maiden, Mass., 
 where his tomb may still be seen. La- 
 ter ancesters lived in Vermont, where 
 Clarissa Upham, the mother of Eliza 
 Hay, was born, and married Archibald 
 Hay, of good Scotch descent. 
 
 Eliza Hay entered Troy Seminary 
 in 1839, continuing until 1841. On 
 leaving Troy she engaged in teaching 
 in Washington, Pa. She achieved nota- 
 ble success in her profession, not more 
 because of her fine intellectual powers 
 and rare acquirements, than for her 
 cultivated manners and personal mag- 
 netism. 
 
 She was thoroughly conversant with 
 ancient and modern literature. Joined 
 to a well-balanced mind were a cheer- 
 ful temperament and a persuasive, mu- 
 sical voice that readily won the confi- 
 dence and love of her pupils.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 In 1848 she married Dr. Joseph A. 
 Reed, an eminent physician of Pitts- 
 burgh, who at the time of his death, 
 and for many years previous, was the 
 Superintendent of the Western Insane 
 Asylum of Pennsylvania, an institu- 
 tion which, under his able manage- 
 ment attained a rank second to none 
 in the country. Four children were 
 born of this marriage, only two sur- 
 viving. 
 
 In domestic life Mrs. Reed exempli- 
 fied the highest type of womanhood. 
 A member of the Episcopal Church be- 
 fore marriage, she subsequently joined 
 the United Presbyterians of Allegheny 
 City, in whose organizations she was 
 an efficient co-operator. She was known 
 as a judicious dispenser of charities to 
 the distressed. 
 
 Eminently qualified by natural en- 
 dowment and grace to be a social 
 leader, her aspirations reached to a 
 higher and broader sphere, and the 
 tribute paid to her by a life-long friend, 
 furnishes a fitting epitome of her vir- 
 tues: 
 
 " She has left behind her a blessed 
 memory as a wife, mother, neighbor, 
 and friend of the unfortunate. Truly 
 the world is made better by the lives 
 of such noble women as Eliza Hay 
 Reed." 
 
 Mrs. Reed died in 1858, about two 
 years after her husband assumed the 
 charge of the Asylum. Hers was a long 
 and terrible illness, which she is said 
 to have borne with wonderful forti- 
 tude. 
 
 Of the four children of her marriage, 
 but two survive her. One son, Hon. 
 James Hay Reed, a successful lawyer. 
 Judge of the U. S. District Court un-

 It is not known that she was a pupil 
 in Troy Seminary, but her name ap- 
 pears among the teachers of that insti- 
 tution in 1833 and 1834. It is probable 
 that her education was pursued in the 
 opening years of Mrs. Willard's school 
 in Middlebury, Vt. 
 
 Two older sisters, Katherine and 
 Frances A. Henshaw, were in the Mid- 
 dlebury school, to whom Mrs. John 
 Willard refers as " the brilliant sisters 
 of Bishop Henshaw." 
 
 Elizabeth Henshaw wrote much for 
 publication, and was a contributor to 
 the " Christian Keepsake," a popular 
 annual many years ago. She also ren- 
 dered valuable aid to Mrs. Willard in 
 the preparation of her United States 
 History. 
 
 Miss Henshaw was married, in 18 18, 
 to James Kent Piatt, of Plattsburgh, 
 N. Y., of which marriage were two

 Her father was a warm personal 
 friend of Mrs. Emma Willard. Mr. 
 Howe was Principal of the Academy in 
 Middlebury, Vt., when Mrs. Willard 
 began her career in that town, and 
 their long acquaintance dated from 
 that time. 
 
 On leaving Troy Seminary Miss 
 Howe devoted herself to teaching both 
 music and painting, for nature had 
 endowed her with rare ability in these 
 accomplishments. 
 
 But the life which gave such brilliant 
 promise was brief. Scarcely had she

 located in San Francisco, taking at once 
 a commanding position as lawyer and 
 statesman.

 California, and both he and his estima- 
 ble wife were uncompromising on all 
 questions involving human rights. 
 
 During the Civil War Mrs. Shafter 
 left the Episcopal church, of which she 
 had been a member for more than thir- 
 ty years, and identified herself with the 
 Presbyterian church, over which the 
 stars and stripes floated, and where 
 prayers were ofEered for the Union. 
 She was a strong believer in Woman's 
 Rights, and an advocate of Temper- 
 ance in all things. Indeed her life 
 shone among her fellow-women like a 
 city set upon a hill. 
 
 Mrs. Shafter died in San Francisco 
 in 1 87 1. Her husband's death took 
 place in 1892. Four children survive

 Jones, Clementina, 
 
 Daughter of Thomas Henry and 
 Nancy (Merwin) Jones, born in Scho- 
 
 dack, N. Y. (near Troy), furnishes the 
 subjoined interesting sketch of her 
 career : 
 
 " My father died four months before 
 I was born, more than eighty-one years 
 ago. I attended the district school, but 
 acquired the best part of my education 
 at home. I had a pious and intelligent 
 mother and two well educated grand- 
 mothers. It was not only from books 
 I learned, but all that should be taught 
 in Christian families. I learned a trade 
 also. My mother and I being all that 
 remained of four generations who had 
 dwelt in our dear home, it was decided 
 to rent it and we moved to Troy, where 
 I worked until the winter of 1837, when 
 I entered Troy Seminary as a day schol- 
 ar. Mrs. John Willard being acquaint- 
 ed with those who had always known 
 me, and three generations before me, 
 manifested special interest in me, and 
 soon after my entrance to the school as 
 day scholar, at her request, and with my 
 mother's approval, I became a boarder, 
 from which time the Seminary was to 
 me ever a dear Christian home, like the 
 happy one of my childhood and youth. 
 
 " In November, 1839, 1 went to Penn- 
 sylvania, prepared to teach all the Eng- 
 lish branches taught in the Seminary, 
 and French and music also. Later, 
 when my health required a change, I 
 returned to the Seminary and studied 
 Latin and drawing. When I had ac- 
 quired a sufficient knowledge of these, 
 I went South and taught six years in 
 Virginia. Again my health failed and 
 I returned to the Seminary, which I 
 was not permitted to leave until well 
 enough to resume my work in the South. 
 Can I ever forget all that was done for 
 my comfort and happiness ? 
 
 " The next year I spent my vacation 
 in Troy, and feeling it my duty to re-

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 main with my mother, I opened a school 
 in Troy. After I had taught a year 
 and a half, I was persuaded by a gen- 
 tleman of North Carolina, who had 
 known me in Virginia, to teach in his 
 family. My mother urged my going, 
 and I took with me one of my pupils, 
 Albertine Van Valkenburgh. We re- 
 mained two years. Afterwards I built 
 a house at No. i8 Seventh Street, in 
 Troy, and taught there until burned 
 out in the great fire of 1862. 
 
 " My mother and I then moved to 
 Lansingburgh, where I opened a school. 
 I was then forty-seven years of age and 
 had taught nearly twelve years. 
 
 " Mrs. Willard endorsed me as fol- 
 lows: 
 
 " ' It gives me pleasure to commend 
 Miss Clementine Jones to the friends 
 of education. Long acquaintance with ■ 
 her as a pupil in our Seminary and a 
 teacher in this city, enable me to bear 
 unqualified testimony to her thorough 
 scholarship and untiring energy, and 
 to the excellence of her moral and re- 
 ligious character. 
 
 May 20, 1862. ' SARAH L. WILLARD.' 
 
 " As to my writings, I published a 
 book, ' Shades of Sorrow dispelled by 
 the Sunshine of Love,' and translated 
 a French story, ' Mari^, or True Nobil- 
 ity.' I have written a great deal for 
 newspapers and magazines. 
 
 " Could I present a true picture of 
 all I know of the Willards, that has 
 never been publicly stated or alluded 
 to, all would exclaim like the Queen of 
 Sheba, 'the half has not been told us,' 
 but as I cannot, I will only say. 
 
 Fain would I tell the world their worth, 
 
 But 't would be vain to try, 
 No human pen can it portray ; 
 
 Their record is on high." 
 
 In 1896 Miss Jones, with cheerful in- 
 
 terest in life, and a notably fine pres- 
 ence, is passing her declining years

 sequently made their permanent home 
 in Cleveland, O. Four children were 
 born of this union : Freeland Throop 
 Kingsley, who died in infancy, Horace 
 Binney Kingsley, Jr., Grace Arabella, 
 and Cora Lucinda. 
 
 Horace Kingsley, Jr., was lost at sea 
 in the summer of 1872, on a return voy- 
 age from Europe. 
 
 Following the completion of his col- 
 legiate course in this country, he had 
 spent eighteen months in Berlin and 
 Edinburgh in the study of medicine, 
 and, having won his diploma, was has- 
 tening home to celebrate his twenty- 
 third birthday when by a strange fatal- 
 ity he was swept from the deck of the 
 steamer in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. 
 
 The mother survived this tragedy 
 fourteen years, during which time she 
 never lost the hope of her son's return. 
 She was a devout member of the Epis- 
 copal Church, a woman of rare mental 
 endowments and culture. The father 
 died six months from the date of the 
 death of his son.

 " A group of four or five girls began 
 to piece a silk quilt, ' The Old Maid's

 Lincoln, Emma Willard, 
 
 Daughter of Simon and Almira (Hart)

 Her connection with Troy Seminary 
 began at an early age, for when a child 
 of two years she was brought there by 
 her mother (a sister of Mrs. Willard), 
 who on the death of her husband ac- 
 cepted the position offered her by Mrs. 
 Willard of Vice-Principal in Troy Sem- 
 inary. This was in 1824. From this 
 date, with only brief absences inter- 
 vening, until 1838, Emma Lincoln re- 
 mained in the family of her aunt. 
 
 In 1 83 1 her mother married a second 
 time, and will be remembered as Mrs. 
 Lincoln-Phelps, Principal of the Pa- 
 tapsco Institute at EUicotts Mills, Md. 
 After leaving Troy in 1838 the daugh- 
 tei continued her studies under her 
 mother until her own marriage.

 Lincoln, Jane P., 
 
 Daughter of Simon and Almira 
 (Hart) Lincoln, was born in Hartford, 
 Conn. 
 
 Her mother was a sister of Mrs. 
 Emma Willard, and being left a widow 
 with two little girls, was invited by 
 Mrs. Willard to make her home with 
 her and to share the responsibilities of 
 the school as its Vice-Principal. This 
 was in 1824, at which time Jane Lin- 
 coln, the elder of Mrs. Lincoln's daugh- 
 ters, was six years of age. 
 
 From this time until 1836 her educa- 
 tion was faithfully pursued in Troy 
 Seminary, where she was a most con- 
 scientious student, distinguishing her- 
 self by a high order of scholarship. 
 She was also an accomplished musician. 
 
 Her mother having, in 1831, become 
 the wife of Hon. John Phelps, and 
 made her home in Vermont, Miss Lin- 
 coln continued to reside with her aunt 
 in Troy, who by this time had come 
 to regard her more as a daughter than 
 a niece. Having completed the regu- 
 lar course of study, she was for a while 
 enrolled among the teachers of the

 Seminary, but ultimately she devoted 
 herself to her aunt, living with her 
 when she set up her separate estab- 
 lishment, and efficiently performing 
 the duties of private secretary and 
 copyist in the literary work which Mrs. 
 Willard was engaged upon. She was 
 also the compagnon de voyage of her 
 aunt in her various journeyings. 
 
 In 1843, lier mother, Mrs. Phelps, 
 being at the head of Patapsco Insti- 
 tute, Md., required the assistance of 
 her daughter, and here she again took 
 up the work of teaching with charac- 
 teristic zeal and efficiency. Alas ! that 
 so precious a life should end in tragedy ! 
 In 1855, while on her summer travels 
 with her mother, she was instantly 
 killed in a railroad disaster which oc- 
 curred near Burlington, N. J. 
 
 Many mourned for her, both in the 
 Northern and Southern States, for 
 through her school associations and 
 her extensive travel she had a broad 
 acquaintance, and was a woman of 
 many friends. 
 
 Livy, Caroline E., 
 
 Daughter of Thomas Livy, D. D. and 
 Lucinda (Parsons) Livy, was born in 
 Wolfboro, N. H. 
 
 She lost her father in her childhood, 
 and was placed in Troy Seminary 
 when but fourteen years of age, enter- 
 ing in 1837 and graduating in 1841. 
 Teaching became her life-work. 
 
 She filled the position of Principal 
 in the Pickard School, of Caswell Co., 
 N. C, until her marriage in 1 844, when 
 she became the wife of the Rev. J. M. 
 M. Caldwell. With remarkable execu- 
 tive ability she adjusted her life to the 
 responsibilities of her home and her 
 chosen profession. From 1845 to 1857 
 she was Principal of the Rome Female 
 Academy, in Rome, Ga.; from 1857 to 
 
 1 864, of Rome Female College ; from 
 1864 to 1868, of Concord Female Col- 
 lege, in Statesville, N. C; from 1868 to 
 1 87 1, of Edgeworth Female Seminary 
 in Greensboro, N. C. ; and from 1871 
 until her death in 1886, of Rome Fe- 
 male College. She became the mother 
 of five sons who are : Rev. S. C. Cald- 
 well, of Tallahassee, Fla.; the Rev. A. 
 S. Caldwell, of Bartow, Fla.; the Rev. 
 J. L. Caldwell, D. D., of Pine Bluff, 
 Ark.; Frank H. Caldwell, M. D., of 
 Sanford, Fla.; and Edwin Harper Cald- 
 well, who died in early manhood. 
 
 The Rev. S. C. Caldwell, of Talla- 
 hassee, bears the following testimony 
 to his mother's earnest and useful 
 life: 
 
 " Under her administration in Rome 
 over five thousand girls received all, or 
 part of their school-training. She was 
 a fine teacher and a superb disciplin- 
 arian. In the early days Rome was al- 
 most a frontier town, and her influence 
 in moulding the after-life of her pupils, 
 and thus refining and elevating the 
 community, cannot be over-estimated. 
 No teacher ever lived in Northwest 
 Georgia who achieved a higher reputa- 
 tion or exerted a wider influence. 
 
 " She possessed uncommon personal 
 beauty, which she retained to the last. 
 In spite of a life of toil and responsi- 
 bility, time dealt gently with her. 
 Death came tenderly and without acute 
 pain. She faded away, and after a 
 year of slow and painless decline she 
 died at the College in Rome, Ga., in 
 1886. Her husband survived her until 
 1892."

 home was called Wethersfield, and a 
 Congregational Church was organized 
 by him at that time. Miss Loomis went 
 to Peoria, 111., with her brother Francis 
 Loomis, who settled in Wethersfield, 
 (now known as Kewanee, 111.) As pre- 
 viously stated, she married the Rev. 
 W. F. Vaill in 1840. Three daughters

 in Schenectady, N. Y. 
 
 A pupil in Troy Seminary in 1832 
 and 1833. Married, in 1840, Hon. Elias 
 Plum, and was the mother of two sons 
 and three daughters. The eldest son, 
 Francis Mann, who was in the cavalry

 been pupils of Troy Seminary, the third 
 generation of the family that has en- 
 joyed the opportunities of the school. 
 A niece of Mrs. Mercy Mann Plum is 
 Mrs. John Hudson Peck, Troy, N. Y. 
 
 Manwaring, Anna Hart, 
 
 Daughter of Jabez and Mary (Milnor) 
 Manwaring, was born in New London, 
 Conn., in 1813. On her mother's side 
 she was connected with the Griswolds 
 and Mathers, of Lynn. She was born 
 just after the departure of the British 
 from New London. During the time 
 that the British ships were in New 
 London harbor, many families took ref- 
 uge in the commodious house and barn 
 of Miss Manwaring's father which stood 
 just outside the town. Her early youth 
 was passed in Hartford, Conn., in the 
 midst of the excitement following the 
 war. 
 
 On her subsequent removal to Troy, 
 N. Y., she was a pupil in Troy Semi- 
 nary from 1834 to 1836. Later she 
 taught a private school in Troy until 
 1844, when she returned to Troy Semi- 
 nary as teacher ; and there, with brief 
 interruptions, she remained until the 
 retirement of Mr. and Mrs. Willard in 
 1872. 
 
 Miss Manwaring's personality was so 
 marked that it will be well remembered 
 by all who were pupils of her time, and 
 her name will at once recall the sleep- 
 less vigilance and scrupulous exactions 
 of one to whom the pupils were most 
 deeply attached. 
 
 She belonged to the Methodist Church 
 in her youth, but later identified her- 
 self with the Episcopal Church. 
 
 During her long connection with the 
 
304 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Seminary Miss Manwaring was accus- 
 tomed to spend her vacations in Le 
 Roy, N. Y., with her sister, Mrs. Kel- 
 logg, in the welfare of whose family 
 she evinced the deepest interest. 
 
 She outlived her sister and the entire 
 family, except the grandchildren, with 
 whom she continued her affectionate 
 relations, although for eleven years pre- 
 vious to her death she chose to live 
 entirely alone. Indeed she came near 
 to the fulfilment of her wish, to die 
 alone. All who recall Miss Manwaring 
 know that she was nothing if not self- 
 reliant, and will not be surprised to 
 know that she was able to care for 
 herself almost to the very last. 
 
 It was almost by accident that her 
 friends knew of her approaching de- 
 mise, and ministered to her in her last 
 hours. She died in 1890. 
 
 A friend familiar with her active and 
 useful life says of her, " I owe much to 
 her steadfast friendship and consistent 
 example. She was faithful in her labors 
 and she has earned her rest. I am glad 
 she was spared the infirmities of ex- 
 treme age."

 to 1834, and after an intervening six 
 months in the Albany Female Acade- 
 my, returned for the year of 1835 to 
 Mrs. Willard. In 1837 she married 
 J. J. Newcomb, of Boston, Mass. 
 
 Six children were born of this mar- 
 riage : three now living. The eldest son 
 died of wounds received at the battle 
 of Fredericksburg. A daughter, Leila 
 Frances Newcomb, lives in Minneapo- 
 lis ; two sons, Charles B. and James G.

 overshadowed her. Two daughters and 
 one son, all married, have died. Her 
 three daughters were pupils of Troy

 MasoD, Emily Virginia, 
 
 Daughter of John Thomson and 
 Eliza Baker (Moir) Mason, was born 
 in Lexington, Ky. Her parents were 
 Virginians by birth, and her early 
 years were divided between the two 
 States, the family making yearly pil-

 mother's life, and the maintenance of 
 the family estate, called "Raspberry 
 Plain." In 1830, her only brother, 
 Stevens T. Mason, was appointed by 
 President Jackson governor of the 
 Territory of Michigan, and for the sub- 
 sequent ten years was identified with 
 the history of that State. The entire 
 family accompanied him to his Western 
 home in Detroit, remaining until his 
 removal to New York city, where he 
 died in 1843. 
 
 It was from Detroit that Miss Mason, 
 with her sister Katharine, was sent to 
 Troy Seminary in 1832, where she 
 spent one year. Her mother died in 
 1839, after which event Miss Mason re- 
 moved to Virginia. Two younger sis- 
 ters, one but recently widowed, made 
 their home with her upon a small farm 
 in Fairfax Co., Va., where they re- 
 mained until the breaking out of the 
 Civil War. At this crisis, she and her 
 sisters responded to the call of the 
 wounded and suffering in Confederate 
 hospital. 
 
 At the close of the war Miss Mason 
 found herself with the care of thirty 
 adopted daughters, orphans of the war, 
 or children of mothers whose husbands 
 she had nursed, and to whom she had 
 given her promise to care for their 
 children, at a time when a far different

 termination of our conflict was hoped 
 for by Southern families. 
 
 In behalf of this charitable purpose 
 it was proposed by her family to collect 
 and prepare for publication a volume 
 of " Poems of the War," with a pref- 
 ace setting forth the object of the 
 publication. John Murphy & Co., Bal- 
 timore, brought out the book. One 
 thousand dollars was paid by them for 
 the Mss. In three months a second 
 edition was eagerly sought for. 
 
 The citizens of Baltimore warmly 
 seconded Miss Mason's charitable en- 
 deavors. The house of Miss Emily 
 Harper was the rendezvous of the 
 homeless children, while schools were 
 being provided for them. Convents 
 and schools opened their doors. Rail- 
 ways gave free transportation, and 
 clothing and books were carried gratui- 
 tously by Adam's Express from North, 
 South, East and West. " The South- 
 ern Relief Association" of St. Louis 
 assumed the responsibility of ten of 
 the children, providing them with 
 clothing and education. When the 
 twenty others were well placed, Miss 
 Mason went abroad with Miss Har- 
 per, spending three years in foreign 
 travel, returning in 1890 to look after 
 her orphan charge. Their term of 
 school having expired, it was now 
 necessary to place them with other 
 families, qualified, as was hoped, for 
 their own maintenance, in teaching and 
 diffusing the refinement and cultiva- 
 tion which their benefactor had sought 
 to secure to them. 
 
 To accomplish her benevolent pur- 
 pose Miss Mason once more had re- 
 course to her facile pen. Her " Life 
 of Gen. Lee " dedicated, by permis- 
 sion, to his admirable wife, was a not- 
 ably successful literary venture, and 
 
 enabled her to compass her plans for 
 her prot^g^es. This accomplished, she 
 again went abroad, associating herself 
 in Paris with a French lady in a school 
 for Young Ladies, traveling with them 
 through Egypt, Palestine, Greece, and 
 other lands. 
 
 Since 1883 she has made her home 
 upon a small farm in Howard Co., 
 Maryland, varied with occasional visits 
 abroad. 
 
 In 1888 she published " The Journal 
 of a Young Lady of Virginia," collected 
 from the fragments of an old journal 
 found in a country home in Maryland. 
 This book she wrote in the interest of 
 the " Ladies' Lee Monument Associa- 
 tion " and five hundred dollars were 
 realized from its sale, and were con- 
 tributed to the Monument fund. She 
 announces to her friends, with a cheer- 
 ful touch of pleasantry, that at the age 
 of seventy-nine she has retired from 
 the field of writing, turning her pen 
 into a pruning-hook, and her zeal for 
 the fine arts into the care of her gar- 
 den and poultry. 
 
 Address, Miss Emily V. Mason, 
 Doughoregan P. O., Howard Co., Md. 
 
 Mason, Catharine Armstead, 
 
 Daughter of John Thomson and 
 Eliza Baker (Moir) Mason, was born 
 in Lexington, Ky. Her parents were 
 natives of Virginia, and from her earli- 
 est years she was accustomed to make 
 annual visits to the ancestral home. 
 
 She was a sister of Hon. Stevens T. 
 Mason, one of the first Governors of 
 Michigan, to which State she removed 
 with the family on her brother's ap- 
 pointment by President Jackson to the 
 Executive office. While a resident of

 widow with her children joined her 
 sister in Virginia. 
 
 At the breaking out of the Civil War, 
 her two sons,Thomas Rowland and John 
 Thompson Mason (the latter bearing his 
 maternal grandfather's name) entered 
 the Confederate service — the one in the 
 Army and the other in the Navy. When 
 peace was declared they adopted the 
 profession of law, and practised in Bal- 
 timore, Md., where Mrs. Rowland had 
 taken up her residence for the advance- 
 ment of her sons, and where she dis-

 land, died in 1872. Her daughters, 
 (twin -sisters), Kate Mason Rowland

 brother, John S. Mason, are residents 
 of Baltimore. 
 
 Mrs. Rowland's death occurred in 
 1884, in Baltimore. She was a member 
 of the Episcopal Church, and is held 
 in tender remembrance for her good 
 works. In the dark days of the late 
 War she was one of the ministering 
 angels in the hospitals of Charlottes- 
 ville, Lynchburg, and Richmond ; and 
 Southern historians have enrolled her 
 name and that of her sister Miss Emily 
 Mason, among the notable women of 
 the period.

 Daughter of George and Hannah 
 (Williams) Newell, was born in Char- 
 lotte, Vt. She was left motherless in 
 infancy, and at the age of two years 
 was taken by an aunt to Lanesborough, 
 Mass., and soon after emigrated to 
 Huron Co., O. 
 
 Five years later she revisited her 
 native town, Charlotte, whence she 
 attended Troy Seminary in 1832. On 
 her return to Ohio, in 1838, she went 
 by canal to Buffalo, N. Y., thence to 
 Cleveland, O. 
 
 In 1840 she married Hon. William 
 B. Castle, lawyer, and afterwards Mayor 
 of Cleveland. Of this marriage were 
 five children: four now living, three 
 daughters and one son — Mrs. Robert 
 Rhodes, Mrs. David Norton, and Mrs. 
 Charles C. Bolton, all of Cleveland. 
 
 A sister of Mrs. Castle was the late 
 Mrs. Katharine Doggett, of Chicago, a 
 
 well-known leader in the intellectual 
 set of Chicago, and one of the founders 
 of the Chicago " Fortnightly Club." 
 
 Mrs. Castle was for a long time con- 
 spicuously identified with philanthropic 
 work, and during the War of the Rebel- 
 lion was a most efficient member of 
 the Sanitary Commission of Northern 
 Ohio. 
 
 She has been a widow for many years, 
 and in the more recent ones somewhat 
 of an invalid, but her characteristic 
 vivacity still holds sway. With her 
 children and grandchildren about her, 
 life has for her many interests. 
 
 Address, in 1897, Mrs. Mary Newell 
 Castle, 1 561 Euclid Avenue, Cleve- 
 land, O. 
 
 Newton, Katharine, 
 
 Of Albany, N. Y., was a pupil in 
 Troy Seminary from 1837 to 1840. 
 
 One who knew her says of her, " She 
 was one of the brightest and most in- 
 teresting girls in the school." 
 
 She married, soon after leaving 
 school, William Lee, who was officially 
 connected with the Government of the 
 Sandwich Islands, where she lived until 
 her husband's death. Subsequently 
 she returned to this country, and later 
 traveled in Europe. 
 
 By a second marriage she became the 
 wife of Prof. Edward Livingston You- 
 mans, the noted scientist, and founder 
 of the " Popular Science Monthly," of 
 which he continued editor until his 
 death in 1887. 
 
 Mrs. Youmans died suddenly, in 1894, 
 at her summer home in Ridgefield, 
 Conn. Her large circle of friends em- 
 braced many of the literary celebrities 
 of her day. 
 
 By her first husband, Mr. Lee, she 
 was left with an ample fortune, which 
 he had amassed in the sugar trade.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 There were no children by either mar- 
 riage. 
 
 After the sudden death of Mrs. You- 
 mans much interest and perplexity 
 grew out of the fact that no will could 
 be found, although she had repeatedly 
 indicated her intentions pertaining to 
 such a document. Prof. Youmans' own 
 estate was, at his wife's request, be- 
 queathed to his brother, William J. 
 Youmans, who succeeded him in the 
 management of the " Popular Science 
 Monthly." 
 
 A New York journal, in a review of 
 her life, gives the following bit of ro- 
 mance : 
 
 " Mr. Lee was a native of Glens Falls, 
 N. Y., as was his wife, and when both 
 ■were very young Mr. Lee proposed to 
 Miss Newton, and was rejected. The 
 young suitor soon left the country, 
 taking passage in a sailing vessel for 
 Honolulu, one of the first Americans 
 to go to the Sandwich Islands. He 
 had been there two years when a letter 
 came to him which made him forget 
 the Sandwich Islands and everything 
 and everybody but the girl in the 
 North, whose rejection two years be- 
 fore had sent him from his home. 
 There was the note of recall in that let- 
 ter, but the young sugar planter could 
 not then leave his interests in the isl- 
 ands. It was an unconventional pro- 
 ceeding, but when he asked Miss New- 
 ton to come to him she bravely em- 
 barked in a sailing ship on a voyage of 
 15,000 miles, and reaching Honolulu in 
 safety, was married to her early lover 
 on the deck of the vessel before land- 
 ing. Mr. Lee gained honors and riches 
 under Kamehameha, being chosen 
 Chancellor of the kingdom. At his 
 death, Mr. Dimon, Secretary of the 
 Treasury in President Dole's Cabinet, 
 
 was chosen by Mrs. Youmans as the 
 agent of her island interests. 
 
 " In the later years of her life Mrs. 
 Youmans lived at the Knickerbocker 
 Apartment House, corner of Fifth Ave- 
 nue and Twenty-eighth Street, in the 
 winter. She had previously occupied 
 the old William Cullen Bryant house 
 in West Sixteenth Street, where she 
 established a notable salon, frequented 
 by Emerson, Whittier, Lowell, Long- 
 fellow, Bayard Taylor, Oliver Wendell 
 Holmes, Walt Whitman, Charles Dud- 
 ley Warner, Edwin Booth, Mark Twain, 
 and other famous litterateurs of the 
 time." 
 
 Nichols, Abby J., 
 
 Daughter of Ward and Sally (Hickok) 
 Nichols, was born in Saugatuck, Conn., 
 from which town she entered Troy 
 Seminary, where she was a pupil in 
 1833 and 1834. 
 
 She married, in 1838, Clark B. Fer- 
 ry. Of four children, but one survives. 
 
 Family residence, in 1896, Bethel, 
 Conn. 
 
 Nichols, Hannah, 
 
 Daughter of Philip and Hannah 
 (White) Nichols, was born in Kings- 
 bury, Washington Co., N. Y. 
 
 She graduated from Troy Seminary 
 in 1833, following which date she taught 
 in New York, Michigan and Georgia. 
 She returned to Troy Seminary as 
 teacher of French and mathematics in 
 1 84 1, and continued there until 1847. 
 She was a thorough and ardent student 
 of the natural sciences, of Biblical and 
 modern literature, and was the author 
 of a chronological chart of the Bible; 
 besides furnishing frequent contribu- 
 tions to the religious and secular press. 
 In 1847 she became the second wife of 
 Dr. John Cadman, of Adrian, Mich.,

 and assumed the care of his four moth- 
 erless children. How faithfully she 
 fulfilled the duties of her trust, may be 
 inferred from the after- testimony of 
 one of the sons, who says in grateful 
 remembrance of his adopted mother, 
 " She was the most unselfish person I 
 ever knew, always preferring others to 
 herself. The children could not have 
 loved an own mother more than they 
 loved her." In 185 1 Dr. Cadman 
 moved with his family to Kalamazoo, 
 Mich., for educational advantages, and 
 was for many years a trustee of Kala- 
 mazoo College. He had a large and 
 successful practice — was especially 
 skilled in surgery. He was zealous in 
 all educational and philanthropic en- 
 terprises of his time, and was foremost 
 in the organization of the Union School 
 in Adrian, from which sprang the other 
 high schools in Michigan. . 
 
 Both Dr. Cadman and his wife were 
 members of the Baptist Church. He 
 died in Kalamazoo in 1 866. 
 
 Mrs. Cadman lived in Chicago after 
 she became a widow, until her own 
 death, which took place in 1870.

 Daughter of Mason and Patty (Hin- 
 man) Ormsbee, was born in Orwell, 
 Vt., in 18 12, in which town she spent 
 many years of her life. She was a pu- 
 pil in Troy Seminary in 1832 and 1833. 
 In 1835 she married Albert Cotton, of 
 Shoreham, Vt. They lived after mar- 
 riage in Orwell, until their ultimate re- 
 moval to Bennington, where Mrs. Cot- 
 ton died in 1869. Her husband sur- 
 vived her until 1882. 
 
 Orne, Caroline, 
 
 Daughter of Charles and Elizabeth 
 (Lane) Orne, was born in Wolfborough, 
 N. H. 
 
 From early years she was an earnest 
 student, availing herself of all accessible 
 opportunities for mental improvement, 
 such as the district school and village 
 academy, until her entrance to Troy 
 Seminary, where she was a pupil in 
 1837. A portion of her time, while

 there, she assisted Mrs. Willard as her 
 private Secretary.

 in Norwich, Conn., New York city, 
 Brooklyn, and in Mount Vernon, N. Y.,

 vived by her husband, three sons, and 
 one daughter. The sons are ministers 
 in the denomination in which they were 
 trained. The daughter remains with 
 her father caring for him in his declin- 
 ing years. 
 
 Mrs. Hiscox was loved and honored 
 in the churches and communities where 
 her life was spent. In her varied rela- 
 tions and responsibilities she exempli- 
 fied the noblest type of womanhood. 
 
 She was deeply interested in young 
 women who were struggling to over- 
 come early hindrances and obtain an 
 education, not a few of whom were in- 
 debted to her for timely and material 
 aid. The persistent energy that car- 
 ried her, when a young girl with little 
 money and small encouragement, from 
 the interior of New Hampshire to what 
 was in those days of slow stage travel 
 the remote point of Troy Seminary, 
 never failed her, and to the end she 
 held in loving and grateful remem- 
 brance the two noble women. Madam 
 Emma and Mrs. John H. Willard, 
 under whose elevating influence her 
 own character had been moulded.

 Osterhout, Mary A., 
 
 Daughter of Isaac and Susannah 
 (Smith) Osterhout, was born in Tunk-

 On her paternal side she was of Hol- 
 land Dutch descent. Her great-grand- 
 father was John Osterhout, who died 
 at Dover Plains, Dutchess Co., N. Y., in

 to 1840 she was a teacher in the Semi- 
 nary, enjoying the confidence and 
 warm personal regard of Madam Em- 
 ma Willard.

 lustrous eyes, she readily jrcommanded 
 the respect of her scholars, while she 
 won their affection by her sympathy.

 Daughter of John and Sarah Parme- 
 lee (Mitchell) Pettit, was born in Wa- 
 terford, N. Y. Was a pupil of Troy 
 Seminary in 1840 and 1841. Subse- 
 quently taught in Auburn, N. Y., and 
 Newark, N. J. 
 
 Married, in 1849, Abel Wyman. 
 Died, in 1852, in Marengo, Mich. One 
 son, Frederick Wyman, survives her. 
 
 Pettit, Harriet Maria, 
 
 Daughter of John and Sarah Parme- 
 lee (Mitchell) Pettit, was born in Wa- 
 terford, N. Y. Later the family moved 
 to Sandy Hill, N. Y., from whence she 
 entered Troy Seminary in 1840, re- 
 maining one year. In 1841 and 1842 
 she was assistant teacher in a Young 
 Ladies' School in New York city ; in

 governess in a family in Charleston, 
 S. C; later taught in Newark, N. J., 
 and in 1848 became an assistant in the 
 Seminary in Steubenville, Ohio, con- 
 ducted by the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. 
 Beatty. 
 
 In 1 85 1 she opened a " Select School 
 for Young Ladies," in Newark, N. J., 
 which she continued until 1855, when 
 she married the Rev. Samuel R. House, 
 M. D., a Missionary to Siam, under the 
 auspices of the Presbyterian Board. 
 She spent twenty years of faithful, self- 
 denying labor for the heathen in Bang- 
 kok, the capital of Siam, until impaired 
 health compelled her to return to her 
 native country in 1876. But her zeal in 
 her work was not abated, and with pen 
 and voice she was still enabled to do 
 much to interest the Christian women 
 of America in the condition of their 
 heathen sisters in the East, and to 
 secure their cooperation in the estab- 
 lishment of a Mission Boarding-School 
 in Bangkok. Through her influence 
 
 the women of Troy raised $3,000 (after- 
 wards supplemented by $1,500) for that 
 purpose. 
 
 While in Siam Mrs. House translated 
 some juvenile story-books into Siam- 
 ese, and prepared a Siamese Catechism 
 on the Gospel History, also a Catechism 
 on Bible Truth. The credit of origin- 
 ating the series of Questions and An- 
 swers on the various mission fields of 
 the world, for the use of Mission Cir- 
 cles, belongs to her. 
 
 Mrs. House died in 1893 in Water- 
 ford, N. Y., where her husband still 
 resides. 
 
 Phalen, Catherine Caroline, 
 
 Was of Irish ancestry, her parents

 amassed a fortune here, afterward went 
 to Paris and became a French citizen. 
 His eldest daughter married the Vis- 
 compte de Gabrias, and his second 
 daughter became the wife of Count 
 Marbonne. His son married a titled 
 lady of Russia. 
 
 Miss Catharine Phalen was at one 
 time a pupil of Madame Seguin,, in 
 Philadelphia, and attended Troy Sem- 
 inary during the school year of 1839 
 and 1840. 
 
 She married, in 1843, Sidney M. T. 
 Powell, a native of Hastings, England.

 childhood, after the death of her mo- 
 ther. While at Hadley she attended 
 the Hopkins Academy. A pupil in 
 Troy Seminary in 1833. After leaving 
 the Seminary she first taught in public 
 schools, then in private seminaries, and 
 later, as governess in families in Bos- 
 ton. 
 
 In 1842 Miss Phelps married the 
 Rev. Stephen G. Bulfinch. They lived 
 in Washington, D. C, and afterwards 
 in Massachusetts. 
 
 In 1870 Mrs. Bulfinch was left a 
 widow. Of two daughters born of her 
 marriage, but one survives. 
 
 From a pleasant letter of personal 
 reminiscences we quote the following 
 graphic description : 
 
 " In marked contrast to the present 
 luxurious style of living even in schools 
 and colleges, I recall the simple un- 
 carpeted rooms of the Seminary, each 
 furnished with a low-post, double bed- 
 stead, a painted bureau, table and 
 wash-stand of the simplest pattern, two 
 chairs, a looking-glass, and a box stove 
 for wood. Wealthy girls were allowed 
 to provide better furniture. We made 
 our own beds and fires, and brought 
 up our pitchers of water from the pump 
 in the yard. A lunch of excellent dry 
 bread, a slice apiece, was served to all 
 who wished it, twice a day, at eleven 
 A. M. and nine P. M." 
 
 This description pertains to the early 
 thirties. As the years passed, modern 
 improvements increased the facilities 
 and conveniences of the school. The 
 health and comfort of the pupils were 
 conscientiously ministered to, but lux- 
 urious living was never in vogue in 
 Troy Seminary. 
 
 Address, in 1895, Mrs. Caroline 
 Phelps Bulfinch, 3 Garden Street, Cam- 
 bridge, Mass.

 (Lovel) Phelps, was born in Guilford, 
 Vt. She was a pupil of Troy Sem- 
 inary from 1 83 1 to 1833. 
 
 Her brief experience as a teacher, in 
 Georgetown, D. C, covered only a few 
 months, for she died when only seven- 
 teen. She was extraordinarily gifted 
 mentally, and of a deeply spiritual 
 nature.

 1833. She afterwards taught in South 
 Carolina and Alabama. She was a suc- 
 cessful teacher, and most conscientious 
 in the discharge of all her duties. 
 
 Her literary ability evinced itself in 
 occasional verses which were received 
 with favor by the critics. Her father 
 was especially proud of her poetical 
 talent, which was manifested at an 
 early age.

 (Eames) Phipps, was born in Whites- 
 town, N. Y. 
 
 Her father was cousin of Sir William 
 Phipps, of Bristol, Eng., and her mo- 
 ther was the only daughter of Capt. 
 Eames, a patriot soldier. 
 
 Her later home was in Albion, N. Y., 
 from which place she went to Troy 
 Seminary in 1833, remaining until 1835. 
 
 The following fourteen years were 
 spent in teaching in Phipps' Union 
 Female Seminary in Albion, N. Y., an 
 institution founded by her gifted sister 
 Caroline (Phipps) Achilles, who was an 
 educator of high rank for many years, 
 and whose pupils all through the coun- 
 try remember her with affection and 
 respect — a woman of fine presence and 
 great affability of manner. This school, 
 under the direction of Caroline Phipps 
 and her sister Sophronia, was the 
 second of its kind in this country, 
 (Troy Seminary ranking as first,) and 
 enjoyed signal success and prosperity 
 for many years.

 has been among the poor, the sick, and 
 the afflicted, and her honorable title, 
 that of "A Pastor's Wife." 
 
 In the closing words of a brief record 
 from Mrs. Hodge one catches the 
 glimpse of a departing saint waving a 
 farewell : " I am eighty-two ; I am soon 
 to pass away ; good by ! good by !" In 
 1 896 Mrs. Sophronia P. Hodge's home 
 was at 66 Hanson Place, Brooklyn,

 Potts, Charlotte M., 
 
 Daughter of Col. Henry and Eliza-

 lawyer and statesman. At the time of 
 his marriage to Miss Potts he was a 
 widower with two sons, Albert and Ed-

 second wife that she was a model step- 
 
 mother to the two little boys whom she 
 reared to early manhood. Her husband 
 became insane, and died in Rockford.

 health. 
 
 He passed the winter of 1834 in Troy, 
 N. Y., and then set out on a journey to 
 Canada, but died on the way, in Lock- 
 port, N. ,Y. During this sad experi- 
 ence the people of Troy and the rectors 
 of St. Paul's and St. John's churches 
 were most kind in their sympathetic 
 aid to the invalid and his family. After 
 her father's death the daughter was in- 
 vited to return to Troy Seminary, where 
 she found in Mrs. Emma Willard a 
 noble friend. She remained in the 
 Seminary from 1 83 5 to 1 838. The years

 A brother, Henry M. Powell, was a 
 teacher in Troy Seminary in its early 
 history, and at his solicitation his sister 
 Agnes came to this country in 1829, 
 and entered the Seminary. She con- 
 tinued as a pupil until 1832, following 
 which, she remained as teacher until 
 1835, later going to Patapsco Institute, 
 Maryland, Lawenceville, Ga., Darling- 
 ton, S. C, and Middlebury, Vt. She 
 married Ambrose Spencer, son of Hon. 
 John C. Spencer, Secretary of Treasury 
 under President Tyler, and grandson 
 of Chief- Justice Ambrose Spencer of 
 N. Y. Children: Laura Isabella, John

 The family residence was successive- 
 ly in Cleveland, O., Darlington, S. C,

 in 1890, at the age of seventy -eight 
 years, having passed the last eighteen 
 years of her life in the home of her 
 daughter, Mrs. Laura Spencer Welch, 
 of Albany, Ga. Mrs. Welch says of 
 her mother : " She was a remarkable 
 woman as to intellect and strength of 
 character, and possessed of greater gen-

 Price, Ellen Porter, 
 
 Daughter of Ellis and Sarah (Flem- 
 ing) Price, was born in Alexandria, Va. 
 She was left an orphan at an early age, 
 after which she made her home with 
 her maternal relatives until her en- 
 trance to Troy Seminary in 1837. She 
 graduated in 1839. O^i leaving the 
 Seminary she went, on the recom- 
 mendation of Mrs. Emma Willard, to 
 Thomasville, Ga., where she was for 
 many years in charge of a large school 
 for young ladies. Subsequently she 
 married Richard V. Newman, of Vir- 
 ginia. 
 
 On the death of her husband she 
 rejoined her brother and sister in Al- 
 exandria, and was chosen Assistant 
 teacher of the Alexandria Free School 
 attached to the Orphan Asylum. Soon 
 after she was promoted to the place of 
 Matron of the institution, which office 
 she held acceptably for many years.

 Daughter of Gen. Roswell and Har- 
 riet (Stephens) Rand'all, was born in 
 Cortland, N. Y. in 1817, in which town 
 her parents passed their entire married 
 life. It was in 1830 that Harriet began 
 in earnest the pursuit of her education 
 in the Cortland Female Seminary, a 
 
224 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 school founded by her father and his 
 brother, William Randall. She was 
 fond of study, and the years spent in 
 this Seminary are remembered as most 
 happy and mentally invigorating. 
 
 This school was one of the early 
 off-shoots of Troy Seminary, moulded 
 upon the same plan, under the advice 
 of Mrs. Emma Willard, and conducted 
 by Miss Jane IngersoU, a former Troy 
 pupil. The curriculum of the school 
 at that early day differed widely from 
 most female institutions, in proof of 
 which, it is related that when the then 
 advanced science of Physiology was in- 
 troduced, the mothers of the commu- 
 nity rose in solemn protest against it 
 as an immodest and wholly unnecessa- 
 ry branch of study for their daughters. 
 But the class was formed, and a physi- 
 cian employed to lecture to the class. 
 Harvey's theory of the circulation of 
 the blood was made familiar to the 
 young students, and on examination- 
 day when young Harriet Randall was 
 called forward to draw on the black- 
 board the figure representing the heart, 
 and the large arteries and veins, the 
 major part of the ladies present with- 
 drew in a body from a spectacle, in 
 their judgment, so reprehensible. 
 
 These ladies were by no means igno- 
 rant or uncultivated. Many of them 
 had been educated in the fashionable 
 boarding-schools of that day, and were 
 representatives of the popular senti- 
 ment regarding the education of girls. 
 Nothing daunted, the young student 
 completed the full course of the Cort- 
 land Seminary, going afterwards to a 
 Canandaigua boarding-school. In 1835 
 she entered Troy Seminary, and thanks 
 to the thorough training in the Cort- 
 land School, she was fully qualified for 
 graduating with the class of 1836. 
 
 Referring to her year in Troy she 
 says, "To this year of study I look 
 back with delight. Mrs. John Willard 
 taught the class in Mental Philosophy, 
 using Stewart, Brown, and Aber- 
 crombie, as text books. Abercrombie 
 was introduced into the school for the 
 first time, and I believe was then only 
 recently published. 
 
 " Mme. Emma Willard was a grand 
 woman. It was not alone in her per- 
 fect management of so many girls 
 that her excellence consisted. She was 
 loveable as a woman, loveable as a 
 friend. She inspired confidence, and 
 she never failed to bring out the best 
 and highest aims of those under her 
 care. And Mrs. John Willard! The 
 very mention of her name is to arouse 
 all the better feelings of our nature, as 
 we reflect on her calm dignity of man- 
 ner, her wise self-control, her never- 
 wearying kindness, and her assiduity 
 in leading her class of unformed minds 
 up to the heights which they must 
 reach if they would glean from life its 
 sweetness, or bear its burdens with 
 equanimity." 
 
 In 1837 Miss Randall married Gen. 
 Satterlee Warden, of Auburn, N. Y., 
 where he was interested in flouring 
 mills. Later the family established 
 itself in Tennessee, and here Gen. 
 Warden built and owned the first 
 mills in the state, substituting the Ger- 
 man bolting cloth for the millinet 
 that had hitherto been used. 
 
 Many happy years were spent in 
 Tennessee, at that time the land of 
 ease and plenty, of grand gentlemen 
 and refined women. 
 
 But the far-off rumblings of war 
 warned them to take refuge in the 
 North. They returned to New York, 
 and ultimately established a home in 
 
RECORD OF PUPILS, 1832 TO 1842. 
 
 225 
 
 Darlington, Wis., still later in Kansas, 
 where Gen. Warden was prominently 
 identified with an enterprise to dam 
 the Blue River and build a mill. It 
 was at this point in the family history 
 that the active and useful career of 
 Gen. Warden was brought to a close. 
 
 Referring to her domestic life, Mrs. 
 Warden writes : 
 
 " I married, at twenty, a grand, noble 
 man, who made my duties and respon- 
 sibilities easy and pleasant, and, with- 
 out any brilliant career to chronicle, I 
 feel that mine has been a happy and 
 successful life. 
 
 " Literary pursuits might, under fa- 
 vorable conditions, have been my 
 choice, but the mother of ten children 
 found ample scope for her talents and 
 energies in her household." 
 
 While Mrs. Warden's sphere has 
 been essentially domestic, she has 
 manifestly known the incitement of 
 high aims and philanthropic endeav- 
 ors. A devoted wife, and fond mother 
 of a once numerous and happy family, 
 she has felt the bitterness of bereave- 
 ment in the death of her husband and 
 seven children. 
 
 Of those who remain, a son, James 
 S. Warden, is a lawyer, of 25 Congress 
 Street, Boston, Mass. 
 
 One daughter, Mrs. Bessie Malaney, 
 lives at 870 West North Avenue, Chi- 
 cago, 111. A younger daughter is Mrs. 
 E. S. Peck, of Dover, Tenn., with whom 
 Mrs. Warden is passing the evening of 
 her days. 
 
 Ransom, Sophia, 
 
 Daughter of Epaphras and Hester 
 (Moss) Ransom, was born in Sandy 
 Hill, N. Y. in 1817. A pupil in Troy 
 Seminary in 1837, going from Kings- 
 bury, N. Y. Married in 1840, Glover 
 Blackman. Of this marriage were two 
 
 children. Residence, in West Troy, 
 and in Connecticut. Mrs. Blackma,n 
 died in 1847. A brother of Mrs. Black- 
 man is James M. Ransom, Sandy Hill, 
 
 N. Y. 
 
 Raphael, Martha W., 
 
 Daughter of Isaac and Clarissa 
 (Wolfe) Raphael, was born in Char- 
 lottesville, Va., afterwards lived in 
 Louisville, Ky., from which place she 
 entered Troy Seminary in 1838, con- 
 tinuing until 1 840. 
 
 Married, in 1842, Charles S. Sneed, 
 of Louisville, in which city she died in 
 1873. A friend writes of her, " Mrs. 
 Snead's character and personal appear- 
 ance deserve more than a passing no- 
 tice. She was one of several very beau- 
 tiful sisters, and is one of my earliest 
 recollections of an ideal young mother. 
 Her own daughters were beautiful, but 
 none had quite the exquisite beauty of 
 their mother." In her church life, 
 (St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal), and 
 her home, she left a goodly record." 
 
 Rawdon, Lucy Ann, 
 
 Daughter of Ralph and Susan (Ar- 
 nold) Rawdon, was born in Albany, 
 N. Y. Her father was the senior mem- 
 ber of the firm of Rawdon, Wright, 
 Hatch & Co., Bank Note Engravers. 
 
 She attended the Albany Academy 
 until her father's removal to New 
 York city. She was one year in Miss 
 Catharine Beecher's school in Hartford, 
 Conn. Later the family returned to 
 Albany, when she was placed in the 
 school of Mr. Crittenden ; afterwards 
 with Mr. and Mrs. Hyde, in Pittsfield, 
 Mass., and ultimately, in 1834, in Troy 
 Female Seminary, where she roomed 
 with Miss Thirza Lee, to whose friend- 
 ly interest she tenderly reverts, as one 
 of the lasting influences of her life.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 She makes affectionate mention of the 
 persuasive kindness of Mrs. John Wil- 
 lard and "lovely Miss Hudson." 
 
 In 1835 she married Warren S. Kel- 
 logg, of Troy, and became the mother 
 of ten children, six sons and four 
 daughters. 
 
 Her own cheerful words bear wit- 
 ness now, in the evening of her life, to 
 her Christian faith and grace : 
 
 " The God of Israel has led me safely 
 through many dark days. Always a 
 happy wife and mother, at seventy- 
 eight I am strong and joyful. Let the 
 pupils of Emma Willard glorify her 
 name in their own lives."

 Read, Martha, 
 
 Daughter of Seth and Rhoda (Fin- 
 ney) Read, was born in Westford, 
 Mass. She was one of a large family, 
 and in her childhood learned the les- 
 son of an unselfishness and considera- 
 tion for others that became one of the 
 marked characteristics of her life. 
 
 She attended the school of Miss Fisk, 
 of Keene, N. H., before going to Troy 
 Seminary for the year ending in 1838. 
 
 At that time her parents lived in 
 Castleton, Vt. In 1838 they removed 
 to what was then regarded as the wilds 
 of Wisconsin, to Milwaukee, a village 
 of five hundred inhabitants. The jour- 
 ney thither was made through the 
 Erie Canal and by the chain of the 
 great lakes. 
 
 In 1 841 Martha Reed married Alex- 
 ander Mitchell, a young Scotchman

 who had come to try his fortune in the 
 New World. A man of keen fore- 
 sight, he found his opportunities, and 
 his own prosperity was commensurate 
 with that of the city in which he had 
 made his home. To Mr. Mitchell great 
 wealth meant the means to the noble 
 end of benefitting others, and his phil- 
 anthrophies became as conspicuous as 
 his financial successes. In all of his 
 benevolent projects his wife was his 
 co-worker. Early in the forties Mrs. 
 Mitchell, with a few earnest women of 
 Milwaukee, organized the Protestant 
 Orphan Asylum of that city, of which 
 she was the first Treasurer. In 1858 
 she was elected Vice-Regent of the 
 Mount Vernon Association for Wis- 
 consin. 
 
 In art circles both Mr. and Mrs. 
 Mitchell were prominent for many 
 years, encouraging a love for art at 
 home by establishing schools, and im- 
 porting from the studios of Italy and 
 France many rare and beautiful crea- 
 tions, and extending to struggling 
 artists timely material aid. Mr. Mitch- 
 ell died in 1887. 
 
 Since her widowhood Mrs. Mitchell 
 has not made her home in Milwaukee. 
 She has traveled extensively. During 
 the summer months she finds a resting- 
 place on the St. Lawrence, in the vicin- 
 ity of the Thousand Isles. A much 
 larger part of the year is spent in her 
 winter home in Florida, on the St. 
 Johns River, near Jacksonville, a spot 
 that might fittingly be called Paradise, 
 but which is named in memory of her 
 husband. Villa Alexandria, Jackson- 
 ville, Fla. Prominent among her char- 
 ities in Florida is St. Luke's Hospital.

 nary from Troy, N Y., where she was 
 a pupil in 1831 and 1832. 
 
 She taught for a number of years, at 
 one time in Troy Seminary. She is 
 remembered as a gifted woman, and 
 that she was successful in her profes- 
 sion and qualified for responsibility 
 finds evidence in the fact that in a tem- 
 porary absence of Mrs. Willard from 
 the school, Miss Reynolds was left in 
 charge, at which time it fell to her lot 
 to examine the class in Chemistry in 
 the presence of the Governor of the 
 State. She was also an artist of some 
 renown, and gave instruction in paint- 
 ing while in the Seminary. 
 
 Later she married J. Cady, of which 
 marriage there were two children. 
 Lived in Watertown, N. Y., and in 
 Dundee, 111., in which latter place she 
 died in 1836. 
 
 A daughter of Mrs. Cady is Mrs. 
 Baldwin, Pueblo, Col. 
 
 Rice, Caroline A., 
 
 Daughter of Obed and Sarah (Kin- 
 ney) Rice, was born in Troy, N. Y. Her 
 father was a lawyer of Troy. 
 
 Her mother died when Caroline was 
 but nine years of age, and when two 
 years later her father also died, leaving 
 an orphaned band of children, the 
 family were separated and Caroline 
 went to live with a paternal uncle in 
 Western New York. 
 ■ She was a pupil of Troy Seminary 
 between the years of 1829 and 1833, 
 after which she went as teacher in a 
 family school in Halifax Co., N. C. She 
 remained here two years. She was an 
 accomplished musician, and after her 
 first two years' teaching in Halifax Co., 
 her instructions were chiefly in that 
 branch or accomplishment. 
 
 In 1835 she went to New Orleans, 
 where her sister Araminta, (then Mrs. 
 
 Walton) was living. There she met 
 Stillman F. Dolbear, to whom she was 
 married in 1837. The following year 
 they made their home in Galesburg, 111. 
 In 1863 established themselves in Wash- 
 ington, D. C, where she died in 1882. 
 Her only child died in infancy. Mrs. 
 Dolbear was a woman of many friends, 
 and through her life retained her in- 
 terest in and her love for her former 
 pupils.

 the patronage and recommendation of 
 Mrs. Emma Willard, to fill the place of 
 teacher of the higher English branches 
 in Mrs. Ramsey's school for young 
 ladies, in Charleston, S. C. There she 
 remained until her marriage, in 1855, to 
 Dr. Hopson Pinckney, of Augusta, Ga. 
 Of this marriage there were three chil- 
 dren, two sons and one daughter, of 
 whom only one survives, William

 Richmond Pinckney, of Charleston, 
 S. C. 
 
 She was a devout member of the 
 Episcopal Church. Her death occurred 
 in 1880. 
 
 The following tribute to her memory 
 bears witness to the esteem in which 
 she was held in the city where so many 
 of her useful years were spent : 
 
 "In the midst of her usefulness, with 
 golden precepts jiist fresh from her 
 lips, this valuable life has been sud- 
 denly recalled, and our city mourns the 
 loss of one of its brightest jewels." 
 
 " Forty years ago Miss Richmond 
 came to Charleston, and for fifteen 
 years as a co-worker in the Seminary 
 of Mdmes. Ramsey and Heriot, she de- 
 voted the lovely qualities of her heart 
 and the freshness of her brilliant intel- 
 lect to the cause of education. Two 
 generations of Carolina's daughters now 
 stand forth as witnesses of the success 
 of her efforts. 
 
 " At the close of the war Mrs. Pinck- 
 ney returned to Charleston, and entered 
 the field once more as a teacher. In 
 those trying days this brave woman 
 gathered around her the children of 
 those who had known her ability and 
 fitness in former years, and who eager- 
 ly embraced the opportunity afforded 
 for their daughters by her school, which 
 has been for years a blessing to our 
 city and State." 
 
 It is related of Mrs. Pinckney, that 
 after passing through the vicissitudes 
 incident to the Civil War, she said to a 
 friend, " I have chosen my life-work, 
 and shall walk this path to my grave." 
 
 This prediction she literally fulfilled, 
 attending to her school duties on the 
 day of her death, dining with her fam- 
 ily, and with the setting sun closing 
 her eyes in her final sleep. 
 
 Robert, Isabella A., 
 
 Was born near Robertville, Hamp- 
 ton Co., (formerly Beaufort), S. C. She 
 was descended from the French Hu- 
 guenot, the Rev. Pierre Robert, who 
 came to Charleston in 1690, and was 
 pastor of one hundred Huguenot fam- 
 ilies located some twenty miles from 
 Charleston. She was also a descendant 
 of the Colonial Landgrave, Gov. Smith, 
 and inherited considerable wealth. She 
 attended Troy Seminary in 1836 and 
 1837. In October of 1837, ^^^ nephew, 
 R. F. Bestick, went to Troy to accom- 
 pany his aunt to her Southern home. 
 They took passage from New York on 
 the ill-fated ship the " Home," which 
 was wrecked off the coast of North 
 Carolina. Miss Roberts and her nephew 
 were among the lost. 
 
 Their bodies were recovered and in- 
 terred in the family burying-ground. 
 A widowed mother was overwhelmed 
 by this calamity. A brother of Miss 
 Robert, John H. Robert, Sr., resides in 
 Robertville, Hampton Co., S. C. 
 
 Roberts, Cynthia M., 
 
 Daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Mc- 
 Collum) Roberts, was bom in Great 
 Barrington, Mass. She was left an 
 orphan at an early age. She was one 
 of the youngest pupils of Troy Semi- 
 nary in 1839, where she remained but 
 one year owing to a severe attack of 
 inflammation of the eyes. Six years 
 later she became totally blind. As a 
 child, she had often surprised her 
 friends with a " foolish habit of making 
 rhymes," and when darkness enfolded 
 her she turned to literary pursuits as 
 her solace, developing into a poet and 
 romancer of ability. 
 
 In 1847 she married Frederic Gorton, 
 a paper manufacturer. Her home was 
 then in Philadelphia, later in Hartford,

 Conn., and for the last twenty-five years 
 of her life in Fenton, Mich. Her pen 
 name was " Ida Glenwood," and after- 
 ward she was known as "The Blind 
 Bard of Michigan." 
 
 Her membership of societies was lim- 
 ited to the " Shut-in Society," to which 
 she was eligible through a blindness of 
 more than forty years. 
 
 Mrs. Gorton died at her home in Fen- 
 ton, Mich., in 1894, survived by her hus- 
 band and one daughter, Ida Glenwood 
 Fenton. 
 
 Rodgers, Mary Elizabetb, 
 
 Daughter of John T. and Clarissa 
 (Slote) Rodgers, was born in Greenfield, 
 Mass. 
 
 Her parents removed to Troy, N. Y., 
 in her infancy, which city continued to 
 be her home until her entrance to Troy 
 Seminary in 1840, where she remained 
 until 1 84 1. 
 
 On leaving the Seminary she went 
 as Music Teacher to Oxford, N. C. In 
 1 844 she took charge of a Female Acad- 
 emy in Lincolnton, N. C. 
 
 In 1848 she filled the place of Pre- 
 ceptress of the High School in Lock- 
 port, N. Y. In 1849 she married the 
 Rev. R. S. Goodman, Pastor of the 
 Presbyterian Church of Clarkson, Mon- 
 roe Co., N. Y. Removed to Coldwater, 
 Mich., in 1853 ! to La Porte, Ind., in 
 i860 ; to Grand Rapids, Mich., in 1865 ; 
 to Kendallville, Ind., in 1871, and in 
 1890 returned to Grand Rapids. 
 
 Five children, three daughters and 
 two sons, born of this marriage, live in 
 Grand Rapids and vicinity. 
 
 Mrs. Goodman served for ten years 
 as State Secretary of Home Missions in 
 Indiana. She has been a contributor 
 to missionary and other periodicals, and 
 is the author of Sunday-school books 
 for children.

 Root, Frances E., 
 
 Daughter of Samuel and Catharine 
 (Sargent) Root, was born in Brattle- 
 boro, Vt. A pupil in Troy Seminary 
 in 1837. 
 
 Married, in 1839, George C. Lawrence, 
 of Brattleboro. Children were Eliz- 
 abeth, (who married John Mclntyre, 
 and died in 1873, leaving one son, 
 Lawrence Mclntyre, of Chicago, 111.); 
 Richard Lawrence (died in 1878), and 
 Henry R. Lawrence, of Brattleboro. 
 Mrs. George C. Lawrence died in 1871. 
 
 Rousseau, Mary E., 
 
 Daughter of Achille and Esther 
 (Richards) Rousseau, of Troy Semi- 
 nary, from 1838 to 1841. 
 
 Married Henry King. Died in Troy 
 in 1868. 
 
 Ruggles, Lucy S., 
 
 Daughter of Gardner and Lydia 
 (Phinney) Ruggles, was born in Barre, 
 Worcester Co., Mass. Her father, 
 though a farmer, found time to trans- 
 act the law business of his native 
 town, and to act as Surveyor and Civil 
 Engineer. Her mother was the daugh- 
 ter of Capt. Zenas Phinney, who sailed 
 on the high seas. The paper which 
 secured for him entrance to foreign 
 ports bore the signature of George 
 Washington's own hand. 
 
 Lucy was one of- a family of eight- 
 children. Her early educational op- ' 
 portunities were restricted to district 
 schools located more than a mile dis- 
 tant from her home. These were con- 
 ducted during ten weeks in the winter 
 by a male teacher, and in the summer 
 were presided over by a female. Be- 
 ing a child of delicate health, Lucy's

 attendance was irregular, especially in 
 the winter, but she delighted in her 
 father's reading, in their evenings at 
 home. 
 
 She was extremely diffident and sen- 
 sitive, but at the age of sixteen she 
 taught a district school for one dollar 
 a week, " boarding around " during the 
 session. The money thus accumulated 
 was used towards paying the expenses 
 of ten weeks in a boarding-school in 
 the following autumn. 
 
 In 1840 she became an inmate of 
 Troy Seminary, going from Hardwick, 
 Mass., where her home was ; but dur- 
 ing her stay in Troy living with her 
 sister, Mrs. Moses Paige. Her poor 
 health precluded continuous study, and 
 after five months she was compelled to 
 leave school, returning again in 1841, 
 only for a few months. She was pros- 
 trated by a cough and hemorrhages, 
 which illness ended her connection 
 with Troy Seminary as a scholar. 
 
 The less rigorous climate of the 
 Southern States offering more favor- 
 able conditions, she there regained a 
 degree of heajth and energy that en- 
 sured her success as a teacher, in which 
 profession she was most zealous. She 
 taught for seven years in Wytheville, 
 Va., and again in Rogersville, Tenn., 
 in both of which positions she achieved 
 distinguished success. She taught four 
 years after the war in Knoxville, Tenn., 
 still bravely contending with disease, 
 and interrupted by. occasional hemor- 
 rhages and loss of voice. For these 
 later services she received only worth- 
 less Confederate money. 
 
 She had been, while in Troy, a fa- 
 vorite pupil with Mrs. John Willard. 
 An extract from a letter received by 
 her while teaching in the South, from 
 Mrs. Willard, indicates the continued 
 
 and affectionate interest maintained by 
 the Principal of Troy Seminary in her 
 former pupil : 
 
 " Write to me frequently and freely, 
 my dear girl, your thoughts. They are 
 at times, I know, irradiated with heav- 
 enly light, giving you glimpses of ho- 
 lier sceneSo You are one of my pre- 
 cious sensitive plants, which I wish to 
 shield from every rude blast." 
 
 Several years later Mrs. Willard 
 wrote : 
 
 " There is a vacancy in our corps of 
 teachers which I wish you to fill, if 
 your health will permit you to come 
 North. I have many applications for 
 the place, but in mind and heart I pre- 
 fer you." 
 
 Added to her arduous and continued 
 duties as a teacher. Miss Ruggles found 
 time for literary work. Always zeal- 
 ous in the cause of female education, 
 she has contributed many articles on 
 the subject to local newspapers, and has 
 been a prolific writer of verses. Among 
 others is a book of " Poems for Chil- 
 dren," published in 1880. 
 
 Much of her work has been accom- 
 plished under the depressing influence 
 of pain, and at times, total blindness. 
 This fact gives pathetic significance to 
 one of her poems, entitled "The An- 
 gel Pain," from which we quote a sin- 
 gle verse : 
 
 " Art thou an angel ? I have felt thy touch 
 Of keen, dread agony. Thou on every brow 
 Hast pressed full oft thy heavy iron hand, 
 And seem'st indeed my stern, vindictive foe ! 
 Not thine the gentle touch of friendship sweet, 
 That blesses while it cheers the weary one." 
 
 The unveiling of the statue to Mrs. 
 Emma Willard in 1841 was commem- 
 orated by a poem by Miss Ruggles, at 
 which time she was suffering from total 
 blindness.

 Miss Ruggles is passing the later 
 years of her life in Vermont, from 
 whence she writes, with a clear, legible 
 chirography, 
 
 " I can see to read only a word or 
 two of large type, and my poor, aching 
 eyes require a long interval of rest 
 after writing one or two lines." 
 
 But with all her infirmities and lim- 
 itations she sounds a cheerful note.

 riage are Mrs. Augusta McClelland 
 Brady, and Mrs. Bessie McClelland 
 Greene. 
 
 Mrs. McClelland died in Detroit, 
 Mich., in 1887. 
 
 The address of her daughter is Mrs. 
 
 George N. Brady, 414 Tift Avenue, 
 Detroit, Mich. 
 
 Sanford, Phebe Buckland, 
 
 Daughter of Hon. Reuben E. and 
 Polly ( Lewis ) Sanford, was born in 
 Wilmington, N. Y. She was a pupil 
 in Troy Seminary in 1835 and 1836, 
 being prevented by illness from con- 
 tinuing longer. 
 
 She married, in 1837, Elisha A. Ad- 
 ams, of Troy. Later lived in Wil- 
 mington, N. Y., afterwards in Eliza- 
 bethtown, N. Y.,and in 1863 in Pitts- 
 burgh, where the family continued up 
 to the time of the death of Mrs. Adams, 
 in 1889. 
 
 Her husband and four children sur- 
 vive her. Her son, Maj. Henry J. 
 Adams, resides in Denver, her daugh- 
 ter, Mrs. Oliver Abel, in Elizabeth- 
 town, N. Y.; and Mrs. Hettie A Baker 
 and Miss Annie J. Adams at 42 Brink- 
 erhoff Street, Plattsburgh, N. Y. 
 
 Mrs. Adams was an active and effi- 
 cient member of the church, and all 
 charitable enterprises found in her a 
 willing helper. 
 
 Sawyer, Minerva M., 
 
 Daughter of Daniel Greene and Irene 
 Wells (Ransom) Sawyer, was born in 
 Grande Isle, Vt., on Lake Champlain, 
 in 1804. 
 
 She was the grand-daughter of Col. 
 Ephraim Sawyer, of the Revolutionary 
 War, and inherited many of the ster- 
 ling qualities of her illustrious ances- 
 tor. Her early youth was spent in 
 Grande Isle. She attended Miss Swift's 
 Young Ladies' School in St. Albans, 
 Vt., from which she graduated with 
 credit; but such was her thirst for 
 knowledge that she entered Troy Sem- 
 inary when a woman of mature years, 
 and by a thorough course of study

 won her diploma in 1836, distinguish- 
 ing herself in English literature, the 
 abstruse sciences, and the French lan- 
 guage as well. At the suggestion of 
 Mrs. Willard she spent two years in 
 Montreal, in a Parisian family, under 
 the tutelage of Monsieur and Madame 
 Noel, devoting her time chiefly to the 
 translation of English newspapers into 
 the French language. Her manuscripts 
 of that time, still carefully preserved 
 by members of her family, are like 
 copper-plate. 
 
 After her sojourn in Montreal, she 
 taught with marked success in Virgin- 
 ia, and later in Plattsburgh Academy, 
 which position she relinquished to be- 
 come one of a corps of teachers in a 
 Seminary in charge of the Rev. Mr. 
 Converse, in Burlington, Vt. At a later 
 period she conducted for many years a 
 school in Plattsburgh, N. Y., known as 
 " Miss Sawyer's Select School." 
 
 Her adherence to principle was some- 
 what remarkable, and her ideas of the 
 rigid observance of the Sabbath were 
 well-nigh puritanical. The singing of 
 "psalm tunes " on that day was looked 
 upon as an innovation, and only per- 
 mitted when the increasing size of the 
 boarding-school demanded some diver- 
 sion for the long Sunday afternoons. 
 
 Miss Sawyer's ancestors fought with 
 the sword for freedom and the right — 
 she waged a battle for her religious 
 faith with no less fearless devotion. 
 
 After long years of conscientious 
 work in her chosen profession, the com- 
 parative loss of sight compelled her 
 retirement. In her declining years she 
 was only able to read by means of a 
 single ray of light shining through the 
 blinds upon one line at a time, and 
 in this way she read and re-read her 
 Bible to the last. 
 
 Miss Sawyer died in Plattsburgh, 
 N. Y.. in 1882. 
 
 A niece of Miss Sawyer is Mrs. S. 
 Platt Foot, 10 1 2 Thirteenth Street, 
 Washington, D. C.

 Emma Willard. 
 
 Her parents went from Connecticut 
 to New Philadelphia, O., before her en- 
 trance to Troy Seminary in 1838. 
 
 Although possessed of unusual intel- 
 lectual endowments, her health failed 
 soon after she left school, involving 
 mental weakness as well. She sur- 
 vived her infirmities but a few years. 
 
 Her cousin, who supplies the fore- 
 going data, is William Lee, of Marys- 
 ville, Ky., (a nephew of Mrs. Emma 
 Willard), who says of himself in 1896, 
 " I am now very near the end of my 
 eighty-sixth year, and although en- 
 feebled by age physically and mental- 
 ly, still have my power of reason in 
 such a degree as to call forth my most 
 devoted gratitude to my heavenly Fa- 
 ther."

 Skinner, Sophronia Brown, 
 
 Daughter of Zalmon and Esther 
 (Carpenter) Skinner, was born in New 
 Lebanon, N. H. Her preparatory edu- 
 cation was pursued in the High School 
 of her native town, following which she 
 entered Troy Seminary in 1832, gradu- 
 ating in 1835. 
 
 .After leaving Troy she taught in 
 Virginia, North and South Carolina, 
 covering a period of nearly twenty 
 years, during which time she impressed 
 herself for good upon every one with 
 whom she was associated, either as 
 teacher or friend. 
 
 In 1853, impaired health compelled 
 her return to her friends in Naperville, 
 111., where her brother and two sisters 
 resided. She did not, however, aban- 
 don her educational work, but for years 
 conducted a school with a limited num- 
 ber of pupils. 
 
 Her noble qualities of mind and 
 heart, her loving sympathy, cheerful- 
 ness and true piety, crowned by an in- 
 describable grace of manner, eminent- 
 ly fitted her to be the guide and teacher 
 of the young. She worshipped in the 
 Episcopal Church, in which she was a 
 commanding and inspiring influence, 
 while her health permitted her to share 
 its activities. 
 
 Even in the later years, when retired 
 from actual service by her waning 
 strength, she still retained her interest 
 
 in the work which had once engaged 
 her, and in the aims and efforts of her 
 friends. Her poor suffering body held 
 a beautiful and uncomplaining spirit. 
 
 Miss Skinner died in Denver, Col., 
 in 1887.

 the time of its organization in 1824 
 until his death in 1882. A man of 
 sterling integrity, and independent 
 thought. 
 
 Miss Slasson was a pupil of Troy 
 Seminary in 1835. 
 
 In 1836 she married Augustus M. 
 Thompson, druggist, of Perrysburg, 
 Ohio, who died in 1875, leaving behind 
 him the record of an honorable career. 
 Seven children were born of this mar- 
 riage, five now living: F. H. Thomp- 
 son, Perrysburg, O. ; Mrs. Charles Dus- 
 tin, Toledo, O. ; Charles A. Thompson, 
 Rutland, Vt. ; Mrs. W. S. Weed, Tole- 
 do, O.; and Dr. J. P. Thompson, of Per- 
 rysburg, O. 
 
 Mrs. Thompson survived her hus- 
 band sixteen years, continuing to live 
 in Perrysburg until 1 891, where for fifty 
 years, as wife, mother, and widow, she 
 exemplified the graces of a Christian 
 life, and won the affectionate esteem 
 of many friends who keep her memory 
 green. 
 
 Slocum, Sally Frances, 
 
 Daughter of Jeremiah and Ann (Bry- 
 ant) Slocum, was born in Saratoga, 
 N. Y. 
 
 She was left an orphan when four- 
 teen years of age, and after the death 
 of an elder and only sister and the sale 
 of the family home, she lived with her 
 guardian, Jeremiah Mann, of Milton, 
 
236 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Saratoga Co., N. Y. She attended the 
 " Pioneer School," a boarding and day- 
 school under the charge of Mr. Ballard, 
 in the town of Bennington Centre, Vt., 
 for two years. Afterwards she was a 
 pupil for one year in Miss Sheldon's 
 ' Seminary, of Utica, N. Y. 
 
 She entered Troy Seminary in 1837, 
 remaining one year, taking the gradu- 
 ating course, although diplomas were 
 not awarded until a later date. 
 
 In 1 841 she married Nathaniel Mann, 
 the youngest son of her guardian. 
 
 Five children were born of this mar- 
 riage : Anna Mann, Mercy Plum Mann, 
 (Mrs. John Hudson Peck, of Troy, 
 N. Y.), Eliza Powell Mann, Jeremiah 
 Mann, and Mary Willard Mann (de- 
 ceased). Of these, two daughters were 
 pupils of Troy Seminary, and a third 
 was for four years one of its teachers. 
 The son Jeremiah Mann still lives at 
 the old homestead at Milton Farm. 
 
 Mrs. Mann died in 1887. 
 
 It is an interesting and notable inci- 
 dent that Sally Frances (Slocum) Mann 
 was a grand-niece and namesake of 
 Frances Slocum, who was taken cap- 
 tive by the Delaware Indians in Wyo- 
 ming Valley, November 2, 1778, and 
 who remained with the tribe until her 
 death in 185 1. She was not discovered 
 by her family until the summer of 1837, 
 just before Sally Frances, the grand- 
 niece, entered Troy Seminary. She 
 was found near Logansport, Ind., an 
 Indian in everything but the color of 
 her hair and the fairness of her skin. 
 She was twice married, her second hus- 
 band belonging to the Miami tribe, and 
 she was called "the White Rose of 
 Miami." 
 
 Smith, Mary, 
 
 Daughter of Adam and Ruth (Reed) 
 Smith, was born in Troy, N. Y. She 
 
 entered the Seminary as a pupil in 
 1831, but left in 1833 to marry, at the 
 early age of seventeen, Lorenzo J. 
 Root, of Troy. Mr. Root survived 
 their marriage only a year or two, and 
 the young wife, without other resour- 
 ces, reentered Troy Seminary to qualify 
 herself for teaching. 
 
 She graduated in 1839, when she be- 
 came Preceptress of the Academy in 
 Manlius, N. Y. There she married Dan- 
 iel^ Wattles Smith, a leading merchant 
 of the town and a man of much culture. 
 He was a fine organist, and during 
 many years gave his services to Christ 
 Church. He interested himself in the 
 study of Mineralogy, in which he made 
 a rare collection, which was lately pre- 
 sented to the " Dana Society " in Troy. 
 
 Mrs. Smith was left a widow for the 
 second time, after which she removed 
 to Troy. She was again solicited to 
 enter the Seminary to supply a va- 
 cancy, which place she held from 1858 
 to 1 88 1. On the retirement of Mr. and 
 Mrs. Willard in 1872, Mrs. Smith ac- 
 cepted a position in the school of Miss 
 Haines, Gramercy Park, New York 
 city. She died at Glen Cove, L. I., in 
 1874, and is buried in Greenwood. 
 
 Referring to her connection with 
 Troy Seminary as a teacher, one who 
 knew her says, " What potency even 
 in the name of Mrs. Smith ! When she 
 was officer, order and quiet reigned 
 supreme. 
 
 " In the class-room she pursued her 
 subject with great ability. It would be 
 difficult to say which study was made 
 the most impressive — Rhetoric, His- 
 tory, Physiology, Natural Philosophy, 
 or Composition. Even in Arithmetic 
 she inspired her pupils with enthusi- 
 asm. And Mrs. Smith's home -like 
 room, with its open door, seemed always

 to offer hospitable welcome to her 
 young friends. Surely hers was a char- 
 acter of unusual strength, whose influ- 
 ence did not die with her." 
 
 Smitb, Prances Maria, 
 
 Daughter of Roswell and Nancy 
 (Purdy) Smith, born in Troy, N. Y., 
 in 1815, was a pupil in Troy Seminary 
 from 1831 to 1833. 
 
 Married, in 1836, R. Packard (engra- 
 ver), of Albany, N. Y. Of this marriage 
 were born five children. 
 
 Mrs. Packard died in Albany in 1892. 
 
 Smith, Releaf Mareal, 
 
 Daughter of Cyrus and Sibyl (Whit- 
 ney) Smith, was born in Andover, Vt. 
 She went from Granville, Washington 
 Co., N. Y., to Troy, entering the Sem- 
 inary in 183s, remaining one year. 
 
 In 1837 she married the Rev. James 
 Orley Mason, graduate of Hamilton 
 Theological Seminary (now Colgate 
 University). The same year Mr. and 
 Mrs. Mason were sent by the Baptist 
 Foreign Mission Board as missionaries 
 to the Creek Indians. They were not 
 permitted to remain, and returned after 
 two years, and took up their work in 
 Greenwich, N. Y., where Rev. Mr. Ma- 
 son was pastor during thirty-six years. 
 
 Two children were born to them. 
 The son, Alonzo Truman, graduated 
 from Rochester University, and en- 
 tered the Law School in Albany. At 
 the call of his country he joined the 
 Army as lieutenant. He was in many 
 battles ; a member of Sherman's staff 
 in the famous march to the sea, and at 
 the end of the war returned without a 
 wound, and ranking as major. In 1872 
 he died of consumption. 
 
 The daughter, Emma Frances, was 
 also a victim of the insidious disease, 
 dying at the age of sixteen. 
 
 Mrs. Mason was widowed in 1881, 
 and now, at the age of eighty-three 
 years, she, the last of her household, is, 
 to quote her own words, " yet waiting 
 for the call to come up higher." 
 
 Address, in 189S, Mrs. Releaf M. 
 Smith Mason, Greenwich, Washington 
 Co., N. Y. 
 
 Snow, Malvina M., 
 
 Daughter of Loring and Roxana 
 (Gilbert) Snow, was born in Hamilton, 
 N. Y. in 1817. 
 
 At twelve years of age she entered 
 Hamilton Academy, continuing four 
 years ; later attended a boarding-school 
 in Whitesboro, N. Y., under the super- 
 intendence of Miss Araminta P. Rice, 
 herself a Troy graduate. 
 
 From 1837 to 1839 Malvina Snow 
 was a pupil in Troy Seminary. Dur- 
 ing the two years following she was at 
 the head of the French Department of 
 the Rochester Collegiate Institute, the 
 Rev. Chester Dewey, Principal. 
 
 In 1842 she married, in Freeport, 111., 
 Oscar Taylor, a native of Balston, N. Y. 
 The family home was established in 
 Freeport, where six children were born, 
 but three of whom are now living. 
 One son, Oscar Taylor, Jr., a graduate 
 of Cornell University, and two daugh- 
 ters living in Freeport. 
 
 Mrs. Taylor is a member of the 
 Freeport Woman's Club. That her 
 scientific and artistic tastes still occupy 
 and embellish her life is evidenced in 
 the fact that, at the age of seventy-six 
 she reviewed the study of Botany, and 
 painted on china most of the wild flow- 
 ers of this country, inscribing upon the 
 back of each plate of the set the gen- 
 eric, specific, and common name of 
 each flower. This notable collection 
 held a creditable place in the Exhibit 
 of the World's Fair of 1892.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 The following extract from the let- 
 ter of a life-long friend, graphically 
 portrays her personality and char- 
 acter : 
 
 " In her girlhood and young woman- 
 hood the word fascinating was often 
 applied to Malvina Snow. Her large 
 soul-lit eyes, her abundant raven hair, 
 with features responsive to thought 
 and feeling, combined to make her one 
 of the most beautiful of brunettes. 
 She was often called in her early Troy 
 Seminary life, ' La belle Italienne.' " 
 
 Her varied culture, in beautiful har- 
 mony with her sincerity of manner, 
 won for her the admiration of many, 
 of whom the names of some are his- 
 toric in church and state. The beauty 
 of her character was apparent to all ; 
 its dormant strength was elicited when 
 the wife and mother found her path 
 suddenly shadowed by financial rever- 
 ses. Always an optimist, and making 
 the best of everything, the gathering 
 darkness was relieved by her cheerful 
 fortitude and self-reliance. During the 
 late Civil War she ministered in her 
 own efficient way to its heroes on the 
 battle-field, not forgetting the no less 
 heroic women, the anxious care-takers 
 of the broken home-circles. 
 
 While the name of Mrs. Taylor is 
 not found among authors, her corre- 
 spondence, especially the journalistic 
 weekly letters written to her children 
 in college and boarding-school, would 
 make volumes of helpful books. "The 
 literature of knowledge, and the litera- 
 ture of power," with the living author 
 and able lecturer, find their way to her 
 beautiful home. On the threshold of 
 fourscore years, she is now a represen- 
 tative of the best influences that have 
 come to woman in the last fifty years ; 
 a woman whose presence in her own 
 
 world of home, friends, and society, 
 has been, and whose influence must 
 continue to be, a perpetual benedic- 
 tion." 
 
 Address, in 1895, Mrs. Oscar Taylor, 
 Freeport, Stephenson Co., 111. 
 
 Somers, Catharine, 
 
 Was born in Waterford, Ireland, in 
 1826, three months after the death of 
 her father, and was brought, with her 
 family, to Troy, N. Y., in 1831, by an 
 uncle, P. Fitzsimmons, who subse- 
 quently became a prominent citizen of 
 that city. She was placed in Troy 
 Seminary in 1837, and continued until 
 1841. 
 
 She left just before graduating in 
 order to avail herself of a desirable 
 engagement as teacher in St. Mary's, 
 in Maryland. After two years she was 
 called to Chicago, 111. to take charge of 
 the Musical Department in the Young 
 Ladies* Institute, the pioneer female 
 Seminary of Chicago, founded in 1842 
 by Mrs. Abbie J. Coon, of Troy, an 
 aunt of Miss Somers. This school was 
 discontinued in 1846 owing to the 
 death of Mrs. Coon. 
 
 In 1847 Miss Somers married Dr. E. 
 A. Guilbert, ( Ex - President of Iowa 
 State Board of Health). Of seven chil- 
 dren born of this marriage, three sur- 
 vive. 
 
 Mrs. Guilbert has found her chief 
 interest in her church work, and a con- 
 genial domesticity for which she is 
 eminently qualified. The family resi- 
 dence has been successively in Wauke- 
 gan, Ottawa, Elgin, 111., and in Iowa. 
 
 Address, in 1895, Mrs. E. A. Guil- 
 bert, 1222 Locust Street, Dubuque, la.

 York city. Her motlier was the grand- 
 daughter of Col. John and Sarah 
 (Worthington) Ely, the latter a famous 
 beauty in her time. The Worthing- 
 tons were the lineal descendants of 
 Hugh Worthington, under Edward 
 the Fourth. 
 
 The Elys settled in Lyme, Conn, 
 about 1660, and have ever since ranked 
 among the substantial and influential 
 citizens of New York city, among 
 whom is Ex-Mayor Smith Ely. From 
 handsome Sarah Worthington also de- 
 scended Samuel Goodrich, the well- 
 known and ever popular " Peter 
 Parley." 
 
 Of the childhood of Charlotte Au- 
 gusta South wick, we learn that it was 
 marked by remarkable personal beauty, 
 and rare loveliness of character — a le- 
 gitimate inheritance from her splendid 
 ancestry. 
 
 It is related of her, that being on 
 one occasion missed by her mother 
 from the nursery, she was found on 
 the street near by, the center figure of 
 a group of little grimy chimney-sweeps, 
 to whom she was distributing cookies 
 with which she had filled her dainty, 
 lace-trimmed, white apron — an early 
 foreshadowing of the sympathetic phi- 
 lanthropy which broadened with her 
 riper years. 
 
 She attended Troy Seminary from 
 1834 to 1836, where she laid the foun- 
 dation of an education which should 
 fit her for the brilliant social career to 
 which she was destined. 
 
 One can believe, that with her fine 
 endowments and innate nobility, she 
 proved an apt pupil in Mrs. Willard's 
 courtly ways, and her subsequent 
 prominence in the social and intellec- 
 tual world were but the fulfillment of 
 a pre-destined career. She was twice 
 16 
 
 married. Her first husband was 
 
 McMurray. By a second marriage 
 she became the wife of William H. 
 Waddell, of New York, a man of 
 wealth and social prominence. In their 
 home on Fifth Avenue, the present 
 site of the Presbyterian Brick Church, 
 Mr. and Mrs. Waddell entertained the 
 celebrities of our own country, and the 
 most distinguished visitors from for- 
 eign lands. 
 
 A social leader in the broadest sense, 
 Mrs. Waddell was the first American 
 woman to establish a New York Salon, 
 the brilliancy of which no successor 
 has eclipsed or equalled. To the 
 drawing-room of this most charming 
 and magnetic of women came Daniel 
 Webster, Henry Clay, Washington 
 Irving, Thackeray, and many others 
 who in their literary, artistic or diplo- 
 matic careers had become famous. 
 
 Mrs. Waddell was something more 
 than a mere votary of the popular celeb- 
 rity. She was herself conversant with 
 the best in literature and art, in fullest 
 sympathy with all efforts in that direc- 
 tion. Hence it was that a character 
 like hers was an inspiring influence to 
 the times in which she lived. In the 
 panic of 1857 ^i"- Waddell met with 
 financial reverses, dying soon after. 
 
 With courage and characteristic 
 heroism his wife met the exigencies of 
 her changed conditions. With con- 
 siderable business sagacity she event- 
 ually retrieved a portion of her hus- 
 band's fortune, retaining her social 
 prestige, and continuing to make her 
 hospitable home a recognized intel- 
 lectual center. After a prolonged and 
 brave conflict with the ills which flesh 
 is heir to, she died in 1861, at her 
 home, 340 W. 43d Street, New York 
 city.

 Stanley, Margaret, 
 
 Daughter of Jesse and Lucy (White) 
 Stanley, was born in New Britain, 
 Conn. Her father died when she was 
 seven years of age, after which event 
 her education was pursued in her na- 
 tive village, in the public and private 
 schools, and the Academy, and also in 
 the Academy of Westfield, Mass. In 
 1837 she entered Troy Seminary, re- 
 maining till 1840. She taught one year 
 after leaving Troy in the public school 
 of New Britain. 
 
 In 1844 she married John E. Cowles, 
 of Farmington, Conn., in which place 
 she has lived since her marriage. Of 
 a family of several children, two sons 
 came to years of maturity ; of these, 
 one son died in 1866, the other, Henry 
 M. Cowles, is living. 
 
 From a chapter of pleasant reminis- 
 cence of Mrs. Emma Willard, furnished 
 by Mrs. Cowles, the subjoined incident 
 of a day's travel as her fellow-passen- 
 ger on a Hudson River steamboat, may 
 be quoted here : 
 
 " It was at the time of her leaving 
 Troy for a temporary stay in her na- 
 tive town, Berlin, Conn. I had been 
 summoned to my own home in the 
 adjoining town of New Britain, and as 
 we were to stop at the same station, I 
 was placed in her care. It was this 
 day and a half with her in steamboat 
 and cars that gave me the opportunity 
 of knowing what a true woman she 
 was. We were scarcely started on the 
 boat when she took me by the arm, 
 and leading me to a retired part of 
 the saloon, entered at once into con- 
 versation — much to my surprise and 
 delight, who had hitherto regarded her 
 with a mixture of awe and admiration. 
 
 "She spoke of school matters, in- 
 quired the cause of my leaving school 
 in mid-term, and questioned me of my 
 interests and purposes. 
 
 " The effect upon me, an inexperi- 
 enced girl, was magnetic. I seemed, 
 in that interview, to come upon the 
 plane of sympathetic womanhood. It 
 was nearly night when we parted, and 
 she had been generous of her compan- 
 ionship all day. 
 
 " My home being several miles from 
 Berlin, some weeks passed before I 
 saw Mrs. Willard again. Meantime, 
 she had taken up educational work, in

 connection witli Henry Barnard, of 
 Hartford, and other like-minded co- 
 adjutors. She centered her activity on 
 her new interest with characteristic 
 zeal, and was happy in being cordially 
 welcomed by her old friends. She had 
 been urged by leading citizens to take 
 the common schools in hand, and was 
 duly elected by the voters of the par- 
 ish for the office of " Superintendent 
 of Schools," an arduous position, in- 
 volving numerous vexations and dis- 
 appointments. But obstacles seemed 
 almost an inspiration to Mrs. Willard's 
 ambition, as is evidenced by the zeal 
 and energy with which she enlisted in 
 the project for bettering the condition 
 and raising the standard of the public 
 schools of her native town. 
 
 " She remained a year in Berlin and 
 Hartford, during which she was a 
 prime promoter of social life. It was 
 at this time that the two hundredth 
 anniversary of the settlement of Farm- 
 ington was celebrated, and brought to- 
 gether a large assemblage. The occa- 
 sion interested Mrs. Willard, and she 
 contributed greatly to the patriotism 
 and sociability of the festivities. 
 
 " A poem she composed for the occa- 
 sion, with notes of the day in her own 
 handwriting, are preserved in the ar- 
 chives of the town." 
 
 Mrs. Cowles is a member of the Con- 
 gregational Church, and of " The Vil- 
 lage Book Club," of which she was the 
 founder some forty years ago.

 Stark, Elizabeth Lee, 
 
 Daughter of Nathan and Laura (Lee) 
 Stark, was born in Lyme, Conn. She 
 was a pupil of Troy Seminary in 1838. 
 
 After leaving the Seminary she asso- 
 ciated herself with Mrs. Charlotte Kem- 
 
 ble in her School for Young Ladies' in 
 New York city ; later, was a teacher in 
 Edgefield, S. C, in the school of the 
 Rev. Dr. Johnson. 
 
 In 1842 she married Philemon A. 
 Scranton, merchant, of Augusta, Ga., 
 native of Madison, Conn. One child 
 was born of this marriage, deceased. 
 
 Mrs. Scranton died in Hartford, 
 Conn., in 1856.

 which occurred when she was but four 
 years old, she lived with her grand- 
 parents in Troy, N. Y., and was a pupil 
 in the Seminary from 1832 to 1839. 
 
 In 1844 she married the Rev. U. 
 Marvin, of Albany, N. Y. Of this mar- 
 riage are two sons and one daughter :

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Thayer, Esther, 
 
 Born in Heath, Franklin Co., Mass., 
 was one of a family of nine children, of 
 which numerous household she is the 
 sole survivor. Her eight brothers and 
 sisters died more than thirty years ago. 
 
 Esther Thayer entered Troy Semi- 
 nary in 1 83 1, but owing to her mother's 
 serious illness was called home soon 
 after. She returned with her sister 
 to Troy in 1836, graduating in 1837. 
 In 1838 she became the wife of Dr. 
 Hiscox, taking up her residence in 
 Pittstown, Mass., where she has been 
 domiciled in the same house for more 
 than forty-five years. Eight children 
 have been born in this home, none of 
 whom are now living. One son was 
 killed in the battle of Gettysburg, in 
 1863. 
 
 Mrs. Hiscox was left a widow in 
 1885. Five grandchildren are her only 
 surviving descendants, four of whom 
 with their widowed mother live in 
 Troy, N. Y., and one grandson, whose 
 home is with his mother in Greenville, 
 S. C. Since her widowhood Mrs. His- 
 cox has divided her time between these 
 homes of her daughters-in-law, in Troy, 
 N. Y., and in Greenville, S. C. 
 
 From the point of sight of her eigh- 
 ty-three years, she gives some interest- 
 ing reminiscences from which we quote. 
 She says : " I used to think I had a 
 good memory, but sickness and sorrow 
 and the cares of life have destroyed, 
 in a great measure, my retentive pow- 
 ers. When I first entered the Semi- 
 nary, Miss Sarah L. Hudson was not 
 married. Doing examples in arithme- 
 tic by cancellation, was introduced into 
 the school of that time and taught by 
 Miss Hudson. Although I was in 
 geometry, I went into her class to 
 learn the new method. . . Mrs. Nancy 
 
 Hinsdale was the oldest teacher in the 
 school, much older than Mrs. Willard. 
 Although a maiden lady, Mrs. Willard 
 gave her the title of Mrs. by virtue of 
 her venerable age, and required the 
 same of the pupils. She was a lovely 
 old lady, and while qualified in more 
 important branches, taught us to em- 
 broider on silk and satin, drawing our 
 patterns for us. . . I loved all my 
 teachers, but of all those under Mrs. 
 Willard, none stood higher in my esti- 
 mation than Miss Theodosia Hudson. 
 She was a warm friend, and always 
 ready to help those who needed help. . . 
 When Mrs. Emma Willard returned 
 from Europe, she brought with her 
 two teachers, one from England, a 
 very beautiful young woman, and one 
 from France, who taught the French 
 language. The latter married a French 
 gentleman from New Orleans. The 
 English lady married Mr. Columbus 
 Boardman, and lived in Troy. He did 
 not live long, and his widow came back 
 to the Seminary to teach music."

 1893.

 entering Troy Seminary, where she 
 graduated in 1832, at the age of nine-

 An incident of her early school-days, 
 related by her daughter, gives evidence 
 of her intellectual inheritance. 
 
 A composition written by Esther 
 Treadwell when she was fourteen, sub- 
 jected her, through its excellence, to 
 the charge of plagiarism. Her inno- 
 cence being established. Miss Town-

 Mrs. Eaton was essentially domestic, 
 and in the fullest sense a home-maker. 
 Though qualified by native endow- 
 ments and rare acquirements for a 
 leader, she instinctively shrank from 
 publicity. One who knew her well has 
 pertinently said of her : " To be the 
 beloved wife of Joseph Eaton, the re- 
 vered mother of T. T. Eaton, and the 
 idolized grandmother of young Joe, 
 seemed to fill the measure of her am- 
 bition." 
 
 After 1876 Mrs. Eaton divided her 
 time between the homes of her chil- 
 dren. Her death occurred in 1886, at 
 the residence of her son, in Louisville,

 education was pursued in Great Bar-

 private school of Miss Kellogg, prev- 
 ious to her entrance to Troy Seminary 
 for 1835. Possessing marked musical 
 ability, she gave special attention to 
 that branch after leaving Troy, and 
 became a successful teacher. Her fam- 
 ily having moved to Godfrey, 111., 
 where her father was identified with 
 the Illinois State Temperance Society, 
 she accepted the position of music 
 teacher in the then newly established 
 Monticello Seminary. Later she had

 its victims. Her life ended in 1846,

 Daughter of E. Holmes and Char-

 orous health, a bright intellect, and 
 a cheerful temperament. She early 
 evinced a fondness and aptitude for 
 study, which was healthfully tempered 
 with a love of play. She attended the 
 schools of Sheldon, and graduated from 
 Troy Seminary in 1833. 
 
 She devoted herself for a time to the 
 study of music and the French lan- 
 guage in a convent school in or near 
 Montreal. 
 
 Her first essay in teaching was in a 
 young ladies' school in Columbia,Tenn., 
 under the management of F. G. Smith, 
 and the patronage of Bishop Otey, of 
 Tennessee. Later, when her mother 
 was appointed to the place of Matron in 
 Kemper College, near St. Louis, the 
 daughter Rachel was a governess in 
 the family of Capt. Henry Shreve, of 
 that city. She married Spencer Smith,

 mother, whose death occurred in 1874, 
 and was followed by that of Mrs. Smith 
 in 1875. While Mrs. Smith was at the 
 head of her Seminary she entertained 
 Mrs. Emma Willard, who heartily com- 
 mended the educational work of her for- 
 mer pupil. The concurrent testimony 
 of those who knew her proves her to 
 have been a woman of unusual strength 
 of character and superior scholarship, 
 thoroughly conversant with English 
 literature, and it is apparent that her 
 school took high rank among the in- 
 stitutions of its time.

 Mrs. Smith's instruction prior to twelve 
 years of age, than from all the schools

 Some pleasant incidents of Troy 
 school life of 1835, as gathered by a 
 younger sister from a bundle of old 
 letters, may bring back a vision of de- 
 parted days to some who are now sit- 
 ting in the shadows of a " low descend- 
 ing sun." Mary Wood writes under 
 date of April 21, 1835 : 
 
 " I wish you could have taken a 
 peep into the back yard to-night after 
 tea. Nearly all the young ladies were 
 there, some swinging, others playing 
 Graces or Battledore, while six or eight 
 were on a board laid across a saw-horse 
 
 trying to teeter. Some of them would 
 fall and pull off the others, and then 
 such a squealing as you never heard ! 
 but they get up and try it again. A 
 short distance from them was another 
 group jumping the rope, who made as 
 much noise, and seemed to meet with 
 as many disasters. The more dignified 
 girls walked in the garden, exchanging 
 confidences and occasionally laughing 
 at the mishaps of their companions." 
 
 Some attention was given to cook- 
 ery by the boarding pupils of the Sem- 
 inary, although the well-defined meth- 
 ods of Miss Parloa or Mrs. Rorer were 
 not then in vogue. Lydia Wood (a 
 sister of Mary) writes in April, 1836 : 
 
 " I baked last Saturday. While we 
 were baking we had a lunch of short- 
 cake and apple-sauce, which was very 
 good, and each one had a little pie or 
 cake to take to her own room." 
 
 Oh, those delicious but too rare bak- 
 ing-days ! What fragrant memories 
 are evoked by these homely records ! 
 
 " The ' Cooking Class ' only embraced 
 four girls at a lesson, owing to the lim- 
 itations of the pastry-room, and as they 
 followed in alphabetical order, the cov- 
 eted opportunity was not often repeated 
 during the term. The course of in- 
 struction was most informally given by 
 the good-natured housekeeper, and the 
 grand achievement was the pies for 
 Sunday's dinner. The young ladies 
 were instructed as to the requisite pro- 
 portions of flour, shortening, salt, and 
 wetting, to secure a flaky crust. What- 
 ever remained of the mixture after the 
 prescribed number of pies were made, 
 was divided among the four girls who, 
 at the end of their morning lesson in 
 housewifery, carried off to their rooms 
 each a plate of crisp " crust cakes " and 
 a small pie, the envy of the hungry

 majority who were still waiting their 
 turn in the pantry-room." 
 
 Another extract from the bundle of 
 old letters recalls a Seminary party 
 during the holidays of 1835 : 
 
 " Seven gentlemen were invited. 
 They were Messrs. Willard, Proudfit, 
 George Douglass, William Douglass, 
 William Lee, William Hart, and Wil- 
 liam Bliss. 
 
 " After several cotillions had been 
 danced, refreshments were handed 
 round, consisting of bread and butter, 
 dried beef, and coffee. About ten 
 o'clock all kinds of cakes were served, 
 with almonds, raisins and mottoes, and 
 generous pitchers of lemonade. The 
 dance broke up at eleven." 
 
 Wood, Caroline Coffin, 
 
 Daughter of James and Eunice (Bar- 
 nard) Wood, was born at the family 
 homestead in Scipio, Cayuga Co., N. Y. 
 Her home when she entered Troy Semi- 
 nary in 1836, was in Auburn, N. Y. She 
 continued in the Seminary until 1838. 
 In 1846 she married Robert Gosman 
 Wynkoop, of Syracuse. 
 
 Two sons and a daughter were born 
 of this marriage, and are now living, 
 having buried both father and mother. 
 Mrs. Wynkoop died in Syracuse in 
 1870. 
 
 Wood, Lydia Worth, 
 
 Daughter of James and Eunice (Bar- 
 nard) Wood, was bom in Scipio, N. Y. 
 Later lived in Auburn, N. Y., and en- 
 tered Troy Seminary in 1835, continu- 
 ing until 1838. 
 
 In 1 841 she became the wife of Jabez 
 Davis Hawks, of Rochester, N. Y., of 
 which marriage there was one daughter, 
 now deceased, Caroline Wood Hawks. 
 During the first nine years of her mar- 
 ried life Mrs. Hawks resided in Roches- 
 ter and New York city. In 1850 she 
 
 went, via. Isthmus of Panama, to San 
 Francisco. Two years spent in that 
 climate undermined her health. She 
 returned to her native State, dying in 
 Buffalo in 1853. 
 
 Mrs. Hawks possessed much artistic 
 talent. Many of her paintings are treas- 
 ured by her friends. Had she lived in 
 these later days of Art development, 
 she would without doubt have held 
 a prominent place in Art circles. Ac- 
 companying the data for her record is a 
 dainty sketch — an interior view of " No. 
 35 " in Troy Seminary, the room occu- 
 pied by Lydia W. and Caroline C. 
 Wood from 1835 to 1838. Doubtless 
 there are living those to whom the 
 simple detail of this little room is fa- 
 miliar, and who will lovingly recall its 
 early occupants. 
 
 Wood, Sarah, 
 
 Daughter of Arvin and Patience 
 (Carr) Wood, was born in Stephen-

 Hobart, and she herself by Bishop On- 
 derdonk. 
 
 The ruling passion of her life was 
 sympathy with the poor and suffering.

 dians, and they returned lier love.

 was his right hand in all good work, 
 and especially in laying the foundations 
 of the Faribault schools. Mrs. Whip- 
 ple died in Faribault in 1890. 
 
 For twelve years the winter home of 
 Bishop Whipple had been in Maitland. 
 Fla. Eight months before her death 
 Mrs. Whipple was severely injured in 
 a railroad wreck in Georgia, from which 
 time she was confined to a bed of pain, 
 but she was ever the same hopeful 
 Christian woman.

 ple (married F. W. Jackson, of Cleve- 
 land, Ohio). 
 
 The death of Mrs. Whipple filled the 
 town of Faribault with mourners. On 
 the day of her burial every business 
 place in the town was closed, and the 
 large Cathedral was filled to its utmost 
 capacity with sorrowing ones who came 
 to take a last look of the beautiful face. 
 Flowers covered the cruel earth and 
 transformed the narrow house into an 
 enchanting bower. Children came with 
 baskets of flowers and dropped them 
 upon the casket until it seemed almost 
 beautiful to die amid such profusion of 
 love and loveliness. 
 
 Yale, Sarah Selden,

 hood. A white man sits upon the uni- 
 form he once wore as a Union soldier, 
 while a black man stands erect, the 
 broken shackles at his feet, and with 
 uplifted hands thanks God for his free- 
 dom. The profits of this enterprise were 
 devoted by Mrs. Filley to the establish-

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 as a child, she was early inured to open 
 air life, riding on horseback, or driving 
 with her father on his professional 
 rounds. Her lessons were often studied 
 in the carriage as she accompanied 
 him. 
 
 She entered Troy Seminary in 1848, 
 graduating in 1850. 
 
 On her return home she began the 
 study of medicine in her father's office, 
 which she continued for two years, 
 after which she went to the Woman's 
 Medical College of Pennsylvania, in 
 Philadelphia. She was one of four 
 graduates in the class of 1854, none 
 of whom are now living. Leaving col- 
 lege she began the practice of her 
 profession in the town where she had 
 lived since her childhood, confining 
 her attention to diseases of women and 
 children, in which she achieved a signal 
 success. At the end of seven years. 
 being ambitious to extend her labors, 
 she removed to Owego, the County seat 
 of Tioga Co., N. Y., and quickly estab- 
 lished herself in the favor of the com- 
 munity. At first she met with opposition 
 from the physicians of the County, but 
 was eventually invited by them to join 
 the Medical Society of Tioga County. 
 She was also a member of the Chester 
 County Medical Society. 
 
 After twenty-six years spent in the 
 exacting routine of professional life, 
 in which she achieved an enviable 
 record of successful practice, she re- 
 tired from active duty. She settled in 
 Port Chester, Westchester Co., N. Y., 
 becoming thoroughly identified with 
 the interests of that place.

 tional Church, and donated the land on 
 which the edifice is built — the value of 
 her gift being estimated at $6,000.

 ried Henry Redfield, of Troy, living 
 successively in Brooklyn, N. Y., Plain- 
 field, N. J., and later in New York 
 city, where she died in 1885. Her 
 daughter, writing in tender remem- 
 brance, says, " My mother's recollec- 
 tions of her days in the Seminary were 
 among the happiest of her life. She 
 was warmly attached to Mrs. Willard, 
 who was especially attracted to her, as 
 my father has told me. He first met 
 my mother at one of the Seminary re- 
 ceptions. Her married life was retired, 
 but filled with motherhood and sweet 
 charities, in the administration of 
 which she seemed ever guided by her 
 beautiful faith. In her death all who 
 knew her were bereaved."

 Beach, Maria Antoinette, 
 
 Daughter of Denuis and Maria 
 (Clarke) Beach, was born in Milford, 
 Conn. 
 
 She was the eldest of twelve chil- 
 dren, and although possessing a deli- 
 cate constitution, and a retiring, self- 
 distrusting nature, hers was a life of 
 beautiful devotion to her family, es- 
 pecially to her five younger brothers.

 studies, and so undermined her health 
 as to prevent her return to the school. 
 Later she pursued the study of music, 
 in which she acquired a degree of pro- 
 ficiency ; but in this, as in literary 
 work, her progress was circumscribed 
 through waning strength. Always self- 
 f orgetting, a loving ministry to others, 
 most of all to her aged mother (who 
 still lives at the age of eighty-nine), 
 filled the measure of her days.

 nary of Miss Parrott, of Syracuse, pre- 
 vious to her entrance to Troy Seminary 
 in 1843. 
 
 The incident of her journey from 
 Syracuse to Troy at that time forcibly 
 contrasts the traveling facilities of 
 then and now. She writes : 
 
 " When I left home to attend the 
 Seminary, a young friend, Harriet Hall, 
 and myself were sent together in a 
 canal boat on the Erie Canal which 
 passes through the center of our city. 
 We were placed in the care of Capt. 
 Meyers and his wife, to whom, the boat 
 belonged. The boat left Syracuse on 
 Sunday morning, much to the distress 
 of my father, a rigid Presbyterian 
 (elder of the First Presbyterian Church 
 for twenty-five years) and of my mo- 
 ther, who was a Baptist. We were 
 very homesick, Harriet and I, and to 
 keep our spirits up, the good captain 
 would take us on shore frequently to 
 pick wild flowers growing beside the 
 tow-path. These boats, drawn by one, 
 two, or three horses or mules, and 
 loaded with freight, traveled slowly, 
 and we did not reach Troy until Satur- 
 day evening." 
 
 Miss Bennett became the wife of 
 Dennis Valentine, of Syracuse, who 
 died in 1895. The children of this 
 marriage were one son and two daugh- 
 ters ; of these only the youngest daugh- 
 ter is now living, Clara Mary, wife of 
 Enrico Bonecord, of Milan, Italy. 
 
 Mrs. Valentine died in 1897, at 407

 Steere, her mother, was a daughter of 
 Judge Steere, of Rhode Island. 
 
 In girlhood, after the removal of her 
 parents to Michigan, " Kate," as she 
 was always called, made her home in 
 Syracuse with her sister, Mrs. Henry 
 A. Dillaye, and through the influence 
 of Miss Harriette Dillaye, then a teach- 
 er in Troy Seminary, in 1849 became a 
 pupil in that institution. 
 
 She developed into a woman of un- 
 usual charm, fascinating not only by 
 beauty of person, but by brilliancy and 
 originality of intellect, united to a 
 sweetness and grace of manner which 
 drew all to her, from the little child to 
 the man of deepest thought and cul- 
 ture. 
 
 She was twice married, first to Wil- 
 liam Newton, of Flint, Michigan. One 
 child was born of this marriage, a daugh- 
 ter, who resembled her mother in men- 
 tal traits, but was early claimed by 
 death. Her second husband was Rob- 
 ert C. Johnson, of San Francisco, a man 
 of wealth and artistic tastes. Mr. and 
 Mrs. Johnson traveled extensively, col- 
 lecting paintings, statuary, rare carv- 
 ings, curios, and some historic jewels. 
 Mrs. Johnson was fond of animals, es- 
 pecially cats, and many beautiful ango- 
 ras found a home at her country place. 
 A painting at the World's Fair, in 1892, 
 called " My Wife's Lovers," represented 
 her favorites among them. 
 
 An element of adventure in her na- 
 ture led her to visit places usually 
 thought inaccessible to women, such as 
 the great wall of China, and many out- 
 of-the-way comers of Japan. On a 
 journey to Japan, she took as her guests 
 the artist, H. Humphrey Moore, (now of 
 Paris,) and his wife, to whom as to many 
 another rising artist she was a sincere 
 friend. 
 
 Mrs. Johnson was a delightful con- 
 versationalist, and a writer of imagina- 
 tion and vigor. Letters written during 
 many foreign tours, as well as fugitive 
 poems published in local papers and 
 Harper's Magazine, evince unusual lit- 
 erary ability. At the time of her death 
 she was arranging a book of fairy tales 
 for publication. 
 
 Although not connected with large 
 charitable organizations, her time and 
 money were freely devoted to relieving 
 distress among the poor in San Fran- 
 cisco, and adding to the happiness of 
 those about her. The misfortunes of 
 women and children appealed to her 
 most strongly, and at her death, which 
 occurred December 3, 1893, one-third 
 of her fortune, (all the law allowed) was 
 left for the foundation of a free hospital 
 for women and children, without regard 
 to creed or color, to be located in San 
 Francisco, and called " Mary's Help 
 Hospital." Her will, a marvel of 
 thoughtfulness, overlooked no relative 
 however distant, or dependent however 
 humble ; and called suddenly to die, her 
 last conscious act was that of sending 
 aid to a family in distress. Unostenta- 
 tious helpfulness characterized her life, 
 and her death is mourned by hundreds

 Maine. 
 
 She has been from girlhood a mem- 
 ber of the Congregational Church. Is 
 an organizing member of the local W. 
 T. C. U. with the aims of which she 
 is in full sympathy. With strong in- 
 tellectuality and clear perception, she 
 is earnestly interested in the issues of 
 the day, especially in all that pertains 
 to educational progress ; but she has 
 evidently found the duties and com- 
 pensations of her life in the domestic 
 sphere as evidenced by this spontan- 
 eous tribute from her daughter : " Mo- 
 ther is a beautiful mother, ever faithful 
 in the details of home life."

 Referring to her early years in Troy 
 Seminary and her recollections of those 
 she knew, she recalls "the inspiring 
 personality" of Madam Willard, and

 Elizabeth Cameron (MacGregor) Buell, 
 was born in Glens Falls, N. Y. Her 
 father, a native of New Hampshire, 
 was a noted lawyer, and for many 
 years a Judge of Warren Co., N. Y. 
 The early education of Elizabeth Buell 
 was acquired in the public schools and 
 Academy of her native town. She had 
 some experience as teacher in country 
 districts before entering upon a course 
 of study in Troy Seminary, where 
 she was a pupil in 1845. On leaving 
 Troy she taught for several years in 
 some of the leading schools of the 
 Southern States, first in the boarding 
 school of Madame Du Pr6, of Charles- 
 ton, S. C, afterwards in Montpelier, Ga. 
 
 In 185 1 she married Austin Wells 
 Holden, M. D. At the outbreak of the 
 Rebellion Dr. Holden raised a com- 
 pany of volunteers, Co. F. 22nd Regt. 
 Later he was transferred to the staff as 
 Assist.-Surgeon, serving to the close of 
 the war, and gaining a commission as 
 a Brevet -Major. In 1874 he repre- 
 sented Warren County in the Assem- 
 bly. During 1877 and 1878 he was 
 Chief of Staff at Ward's Island, N. Y. 
 He was member of a number of his- 
 torical societies, and contributed some 
 valuable work to historical literature. 
 
 He received the honorary degree of 
 A. M. from Union College, and the 
 degree of M. D. from the University 
 of New York.

 riage but one, James Austin Holden, 
 is now living : Pauline Elizabeth Hol- 
 den died in infancy ; Horatio Buell 
 Holden, M. D. died at the age of 
 twenty-seven in 1879. The life of Mrs. 
 Holden was notably one of benevo- 
 lence, and her death was sincerely 
 mourned in the community where each 
 realized a personal loss. Clear-headed 
 and sagacious, possessing unusual ex- 
 ecutive ability, her counsel was sought 
 in all philanthropic enterprises. Like 
 Dorcas of old she is remembered for 
 the " good works and alms-deeds which 
 she did."

 trance to Troy Seminary in 1845, where 
 she remained until 1847. Owing to 
 failing health she did not complete the 
 full course.

 place, which became their permanent 
 home, Mr. Bancroft being President of 
 the National Bank. Mrs. Bancroft died 
 in Salem in 1881. 
 
 She united with the Presbyterian 
 Church in early life, of which she con- 
 tinued a devoted member. In her 
 home and social relations she was al- 
 ways the affectionate wife and faithful 
 friend. She was given to hospitality, 
 and prompt to respond to calls upon 
 her benevolence. Quiet and unobtru- 
 sive in her own life, she lightened the 
 burdens of others by her generous 
 friendships. The children especially 
 loved her, and her memory is tenderly 
 cherished by the community in which 
 so many years of her useful life were 
 passed.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Sarah. Bull spent much time during 
 her early years with her father's fam- 
 ily in Troy, and it was while in the 
 home of Mrs. Richard Fitch, of Troy 
 (her father's aunt), that she attended 
 as a day-scholar in Troy Seminary. 
 At the age of twelve she returned to 
 her home in Mobile, where her farther 
 education was conducted. 
 
 She married, in 1854, at the age of 
 nineteen years, William H. Roberts, a 
 leading cotton broker of Mobile. 
 
 At twenty-nine the dreaded con- 
 sumption fastened upon her, and with 
 rapid progress ended her young life at 
 the age of thirty-two. A husband and 
 six children sustained in her death an 
 irreparable loss. 
 
 Mrs. Roberts is remembered as beau- 
 tiful in person, of refined and gracious 
 manners, and above all, unflinching in 
 her loyalty to her duty as wife, mother, 
 and friend. 
 
 BuHard, Mary 0., 
 
 Daughter of Alpheus TafEt and Han- 
 nah (Fitch) Bullard,was born in North-

 and one sister upon the farm where 
 her parents lived. Her later home was 
 in Waterford, N. Y., from which place 
 she entered Troy Seminary in 185 1.

 shire, England, where she attended the 
 village school. 
 
 A gifted and ambitious child, she 
 longed for a higher education. Her 
 later home was at Lebanon Springs, 
 N. Y. 
 
 In 1 84s she was a pupil in Troy Sem- 
 inary, where she took creditable rank 
 in her classes, and especially distin- 
 guished herself by her musical ability. 
 Her mastery of the harp was a rare 
 accomplishment, which made her one 
 of the conspicuous figures at the pubHc 
 examinations of the school. 
 
 On leaving Troy she went as gover- 
 ness to a family in Virginia, to whom 
 her qualifications and unusual personal 
 loveliness quickly commended her. 
 
 After teaching two years, she mar- 
 ried, in 1 848, William Jerdone, a wealthy 
 Virginian, of Charles City Co., whose 
 estate was called " Sterling." 
 
RECORD OF PUPILS, 1842 TO 1852. 
 
 291 
 
 Nine children were born of this mar- 
 riage, of whom seven are now living. 
 
 In 1865 Mrs. Jerdone was left a wid- 
 ow. Under this bereavement, and the 
 vicissitudes entailed by the Civil War, 
 she bore her burdens and privations 
 with a self-forgetting heroism, while 
 she continued to devote herself to the 
 training and education of her children. 
 
 She died at "Stirling" in 1878, and 
 is buried in the old Colonial Cemetery 
 on the estate.

 (Randall) Bussey, was born in Hoosick 
 Falls, N. Y. 
 
 Removing in infancy to Troy, N. Y., 
 her early education was acquired partly 
 in private schools of that city until her 
 entrance to Troy Seminary in 1851. 
 
 Here she remained until 1855. In 
 1 86 1 she married Prof. George W. 
 Plympton, at that time professor of 
 mathematics in the State Normal

 Butterfield, Mary Sophronia, 
 
 Daughter of Moses Bradford and 
 Mary (Noyes) Butterfield, was born in 
 Homer, Cortland Co., N. Y. 
 
 She was a lineal descendant of Pil- 
 grim stock, by her father and mother, 
 both of whom were natives of New 
 England. 
 
 Her father was a lawyer of distin- 
 guished ability and commanding pres- 
 ence, and transmitted to his daughter 
 a notable strength and clearness of in- 
 tellect, which justified the liberal edu- 
 cational advantages of her youth. She 
 was a pupil in Homer Academy, under 
 Samuel B. Woolworth, upon whom the 
 degree of LL. D. was afterwards con- 
 ferred, and who on leaving the Acade- 
 my became Secretary of the State's 
 Board of Regents at Albany. Miss 
 Harriette Dillaye was associated with 
 Prof. Woolworth, as Vice-Principal of 
 the Academy. 
 
 Later Miss Dillaye accepted the posi- 
 tion of Preceptress of the Academy in 
 Norwich, N. Y., and here Miss Butter- 
 field followed her as pupil, pursuing at 
 the same time a course of English lit- 
 erature under Benjamin F. Taylor, 
 Principal. 
 
 In 1844 she entered Troy Seminary, 
 graduating in 1845. Here she was 
 again associated with her favorite teach- 
 er. Miss Dillaye, who having been an 
 
292 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 earlier pupil in the Seminary, was now 
 one of its efficient corps of teachers. 
 
 Miss Butterfield distinguished herself 
 by brilliant scholarship and by musical 
 ability. She was one of the few who 
 included violin-playing among their 
 accomplishments. 
 
 One who knew her in those days, 
 recalls the girlish figure and soul-lit 
 face of the young musician, whose 
 magical touch brought sweetest melody 
 from the quivering strings of her fa- 
 vorite instrument. 
 
 Miss Butterfield's rare acquirements 
 eminently qualified her for a literary 
 career had she so chosen. Her writ- 
 ings were characterized by directness 
 and conciseness, with a rhetorical grace 
 that might have won for her celebrity, 
 but in the modest estimate of her own 
 powers she gave herself only to her 
 family and immediate friends. 
 
 On one occasion during her sojourn 
 in Troy, she attracted the attention of 
 Mrs. Lydia H. Sigourney, an occasional 
 guest of Mrs. Willard in those days. 
 A review of the writings of the well- 
 known poet and a graceful tribute to 
 the same by Miss Butterfield so pleased 
 Mrs. Sigourney that she addressed a let- 
 ter of acknowledgment and inclosed a 
 volume of her poems to the young au- 
 thor, from which time the latter was 
 laurel-crowned in the estimation of her 
 class-mates. 
 
 The family of Miss Butterfield moved 
 from Homer to Racine, Wis., and in 
 1848 she married Champion S. Chase, 
 a lawyer of that city, who subsequently 
 associated himself with her father in 
 the prosecution of his profession. 
 
 In 1856 Mr. Chase was elected to the 
 Wisconsin Senate, in 1859 ^'^ "^^s ap- 
 pointed District Attorney of the First 
 Judicial District, and in 1862 was, 
 
 through the favor of his cousin Salmon 
 P. Chase, commissioned Paymaster in 
 the Union Army with the rank of Ma- 
 jor of Cavalry. 
 
 He served in the army nearly four 
 years, much of the time on special duty 
 in the West and Southwest. 
 
 Later his headquarters were at New 
 Orleans. He was breveted Lieutenant- 
 Colonel for " meritorious service " in 
 the Gulf Campaign. 
 
 Mrs. Chase spent two years in the 
 Union Army with her husband. Some 
 thrilling incidents of her military ex- 
 perience reveal in a remarkable degree 
 her force of character and an inborn 
 heroism. 
 
 In 1866 Col. Chase located with his 
 family in Omaha, Neb., and identified 
 himself with the rapid progress of that 
 phenomenal city, while Mrs. Chase in 
 her new home impressed her charm- 
 ing personality upon all who came 
 within its influence, commanding the 
 high social position for which her gifts 
 and culture fitted her. 
 
 An only son, born in Racine, Wis., 
 was, until the age of eleven, carefully 
 educated by his mother. 
 
 She was a zealous worker in church, 
 literary and musical organizations — in 
 fact, one of the formative influences of 
 the early days of Omaha history, 
 
 Truly does death love a shining 
 mark. While yet in her early woman- 
 hood an insidious disease fastened upon 
 her, slowly and secretly loosening the 
 silver chord of that bedutiful life, until 
 it ended in 1882 in Omaha. 
 
 She had been for many years a mem- 
 ber of the Episcopal Church ; at the 
 time of her death a communicant of 
 Bishop Clarkson's Cathedral, in the 
 chancel of which her husband has 
 placed a memorial window.

 Church of Battle Creek, Mich. It was 
 from this place that the daughter went

 a young ladies school in Montgomery, 
 Ala., and afterwards a school in St. 
 Francisville, 111. In 1856 she married

 she went to Tuscaloosa, Ala,, to take 
 charge of a Young Ladies' Seminary. 
 At the end of two years she was called 
 home by the death of her father, after 
 which she filled the position of Pre- 
 ceptress in Sherburne Academy, later 
 in Norwich Academy, following which 
 she took charge of the Seminary in 
 Brownville, N. Y. Her strongly in- 
 tellectual and energetic character had 
 every where gained for her influence 
 and success, while her refined and sym- 
 pathetic nature won for her life-long 
 friends. 
 
 She was devoted to her church (Epis- 
 copal) and its duties, and found her 
 highest pleasure in ministering to the 
 well-being of others. In 1854 she mar- 
 ried James S. Waterman, of Sycamore, 
 111., a successful financier of Illinois. 
 He found inspiration in the beauti- 
 ful influence of his accomplished and 
 noble wife, and heartily cooperated with 
 her in her far-reaching philanthropies. 
 Prominent among these was the estab- 
 lishment of an Episcopal Church in 
 Sycamore, in the interest of which she 
 labored zealously while she lived. 
 
 Her husband's death preceded hers, 
 and during her widowhood, although 
 herself in feeble health, she projected 
 and provided for an enduring monu- 
 ment "to her husband's honored name 
 and her own noble life, the founding 
 and endowing a Seminary for young 
 women to be built upon the site of her 
 beautiful Sycamore home, and to be 
 known in years to come as " Water- 
 man Hall." 
 
 The commodious and inviting coun- 
 try-house which was the family resi- 
 dence of the Watermans, will long be 
 remembered by the guests who once 
 shared its gracious hospitality. 
 
 Mrs. Waterman died in Sycamore 
 
 in 1889. Leaving no children, she 
 devised a liberal bequest for the sup- 
 port of " Waterman Hall," which is 
 now in successful operation under the 
 management of the Rev. B. F. Fleet- 
 wood, D. D., a former Rector of St. 
 Mark's Church, Chicago. 
 
 Since the death of Mrs. Waterman 
 suitable buildings have been erected in 
 the tract of sixty acres, for the accom- 
 modation of the school, all of which 
 are now filled to their utmost capacity.

 born in Montreal, Canada. 
 
 She had had ten years' experience in 
 teaching before she identified herself 
 with Troy Seminary, where she con- 
 tinued from 185 1 to 1868. The pupils 
 of that period will recall the sprightly 
 little woman with smooth black hair, 
 sparkling eyes, beautiful, shapely hands 
 and vivacious manner, who used to 
 keep good order in the Third Hall. 
 Her eyes were quick to detect wrong- 
 doing, and her hearing was acute to 
 discover the sounds of laughter and 
 conversation at forbidden gatherings. 
 But her sympathies were warm, and 
 as responsive as her perceptions. In 
 trouble or affliction she was a comforter. 
 Her friendship was sought by many of 
 the pupils. They do not forget her 
 kind nature, or the invaluable training 
 she gave them in her classes, in neat- 
 ness, promptness, and accuracy in the 
 writing of French verbs. 
 
 Her eighteen years of continuous 
 duty in the Seminary attest the value 
 that Mr. and Mrs. Willard placed upon 
 her services. Her own grateful testi- 
 mony to Troy Seminary and to its 
 management may be fittingly recorded 
 here : 
 
 " I can never forget the kindness of 
 Mr. and Mrs. John Willard, for whom 
 I entertain the highest esteem and love, 
 and I think Troy Seminary, as a whole,

 Y. Went from Ithaca to Troy Semi- 
 nary in 1847, continued till 1848. 
 
 Miss Drake reverts with cheerful in- 
 terest to her school-days in Troy, and 
 makes grateful acknowledgment of 
 certain forceful lessons in social ameni- 
 ties which were given by Mrs. Emma 
 Willard. At the time Mrs. Emma 
 Willard occupied her own separate 
 house, which was adjacent to the Semi- 
 nary. She often invited the young 
 girls to take tea with her, an invitation 
 to which function was equivalent to a 
 command.

 young novices approached the stately

 hostess, in her black velvet or satin 
 gown, crowned with a spotless turban, 
 who with the interests and improve- 
 ment of her awe-struck guests close at 
 heart, did not omit to point out and 
 correct their omissions or their awk- 
 wardness, 
 
 Many a timid girl profiting by that 
 early humiliation, acquired a graceful 
 self-possession that made her in after- 
 life an ornament to the drawing room. 
 
 Miss Drake recalls the tragedy of the 
 drowning of the only son of Mr. and 
 Mrs. John Willard, an event never to 
 be forgotten by the Troy pupils of the 
 summer of 1848. The mother of the 
 lad, reasoning that private griefs should 
 not frustrate the prescribed routine of 
 exercises in which many pupils with 
 their parents and friends who had come 
 from a distance were interested, nerved 
 herself to the trying ordeal of conduct- 
 ing the public examination, and with 
 an heroic self-forgetting presided at the 
 yearly function with a graceful but 
 pathetic dignity that touched every 
 heart.

 mosphere of her father's home, until 
 in 1850 she married Shepard Thayer, 
 of North Adams, Mass. Of the chil- 
 dren of Mr. and Mrs. Thayer, one 
 daughter and two sons are living. 
 
 Mrs. Thayer was a member of the 
 
 " Monday Club," of North Adams, and 
 an occasional contributor of articles for 
 the press. 
 
 Among these is a short history of 
 Fort Massachusetts, written for a paper 
 published by the women of North 
 Adams, in the interest of an organiza- 
 tion to purchase the site on which Fort 
 Massachusetts stood. 
 
 In 1896 Mrs. Shepard Thayer's home 
 continued in North Adams, Mass. 
 Durand, Prances Augusta, 
 
 Daughter of Samuel and Eloise (Lew- 
 is) Durand, was born in Berlin, Conn.

 Academy of Berlin. During that 
 time Mrs. Emma Willard visited these 
 schools, and as a friend of her family, 
 kindly noticed the young girl who was 
 just beginning her course of study. 
 
 The child was impressed with the 
 gracious visitor, who said to her, " I 
 hope we shall see you in Troy Semi- 
 nary some day." 
 
 The hope was prophetic, and in 1843 
 Miss Durand went to Troy and re- 
 mained one year. 
 
 In 1846 she married Moses Miller, of 
 Racine, Wis. The children of that 
 marriage were William Henry Miller,

 devotion to her friends, and though 
 of extremely delicate health she was 
 noted for her energy and vivacity. 
 She was eminently religious in all her 
 purposes and plans of life, and when

 going home. 
 
 Dyer, Sarah Bowman, 
 
 Daughter of Edward and Hannah 
 
 (Hoxie) Dyer, was born in Rutland, Vt., 
 
 Her father was a sagacious business 
 
 man, with just appreciation of his re- 
 sponsibility to educate his children ; 
 and her mother, before marriage a 
 teacher, was a thoroughly intellectual 
 well-read woman. 
 
 It follows that their daughter's men- 
 tal training would be in the right di- 
 rection. 
 
 Her first years of school were passed 
 in the Chester Academy, (in those days 
 highly regarded), interspersed with oc- 
 casional travels. In 1840 she entered 
 Troy Female Seminary, where she 
 found in Madam Willard and her fami- 
 ily an appreciation, encouragement, 
 and direction that influenced and aided 
 her future life. 
 
 She remained in this school three 
 years, and her affection and esteem for 
 Madam Willard continued loyal and 
 unwavering while she lived. 
 
 In 1847 she married Zenas C. Ellis, 
 of Fairhaven, Vt., for many years Presi- 
 dent of the oldest bank of the town, 
 while his popularity and integrity ren- 
 dered him eligible to various other local 
 honors. 
 
 Four sons were born of this mar- 
 riage : George W. Ellis, lawyer of New 
 York city, graduate of Middlebury 
 College and Columbia Law School ; 
 Edward D. Ellis, Physician of Poult-

 N. H. Her family removed to Troy, 
 N. Y., when she was but three years 
 of age, at which early date her educa- 
 tion was begun. 
 
 An extract from her letter gives a 
 graphic picture of the Infant School of 
 her early days in marked contrast to 
 the kindergarten of the present time. 
 She says : 
 
 " My seventy years roll back again, 
 and I am seated on a bench in Granny 
 Williams' schoolroom, parlor, bedroom, 
 all in one, and she in her widow's cap 
 and white kerchief, smiling benignly 
 as she guides our infantile fingers 
 through the mysteries of 'over-hand 
 seaming,' or along the ink lines where 
 
 were inscribed our first pothook let- 
 ters. When we were tired she allowed 
 us to take a nap on her bed, and if 
 hungry she regaled us with ginger- 
 bread." 
 
 When seven years old she, having 
 exhausted the curriculum of Widow 
 Williams, began a tour of more ad- 
 vanced private schools for children. 
 At thirteen she first entered Troy 
 Seminary, and here she remained five 
 years, graduating in 1843, receiving

 In October of 185 1 she married Jus- 
 tus Wells, of Holland Patent, N. Y.

 ilton, N. Y. In 1 847 the family removed 
 
 to Syracuse, N. Y., where she pursued 
 her studies in a private school until 
 1850, when she returned to Troy Semi- 
 nary. Here her school life was brief. 
 The same year she went as a pupil to 
 Chestnut Street Seminary in Philadel- 
 phia, which was just then being opened 
 by Miss Mary L. Bonney and Miss 
 Harriette A. Dillaye, aunt of Helen 
 Foote, both being graduates from Troy 
 Seminary during Mrs. Emma Willard's 
 supervision. 
 
 The life of Miss Foote has been quiet 
 and uneventful, yet full of daily duties 
 performed with ability, fidelity, and 
 cheerfulness. Her distinguishing char- 
 acteristics have been unselfishness and 
 a helpfulness of others. The spirit of 
 the Golden Rule has permeated her 
 life. She looked upon the bright side 
 of character, recognizing and encour- 
 aging the good, and endeavoring to 
 make it better. This helpfulness, uni- 
 ted to untiring patience, was conspicu- 
 ous in her long-continued residence of 
 twenty-five years in the Chestnut Street 
 Boarding School, in which her varied 
 relations and duties of pupil, teacher, 
 bookkeeper, and care-taker brought her 
 into personal connection with every 
 member of the family. 
 
 In consequence of her long and inti- 
 mate association with Miss Bonney in 
 her daily school life, she was identified 
 almost from its origin with the " Wo- 
 man's National Indian Association," 
 of which Miss Bonney was the first 
 active worker and generous donor. 
 
 Without ofiicial appointment Miss 
 Foote had much care of the accounts, 
 and aided the first treasurers in pre- 
 paring the annual financial reports of 
 the Society. In 1885 she was elected 
 Assistant Treasurer.

 correspondent, became so extensive, 
 with the growth of the Association, 
 that constant and reliable help were a 
 necessity. 
 
 To meet this want. Miss Foote was 
 elected Corresponding Secretary in 
 1886. She was deeply interested in 
 the work, and fulfilled its increasing 
 duties until her failing health com- 
 pelled her resignation at the annual 
 meeting in Brooklyn in November, 
 1892. At the same meeting she was 
 elected Treasurer. 
 
 Since July, 1884, her home has been 
 with an early friend, Miss Anna Ben- 
 nett, at 2105 Spruce Street, Philadel- 
 phia. Her summer residence is at 
 " Pax Cottage," near Cain, Chester 
 Co., Pa. 
 
 Foote, J. Fraoces, 
 
 Daughter of Dr. David Y. and Julia 
 (Dillaye) Foote, was born in East Ham- 
 ilton, N. Y., but in her childhood re- 
 moved with her family to Syracuse, 
 where she attended a private school. 
 
 Her later years of study were passed 
 in Troy and Chestnut Street Semina- 
 ries. In 1857 she married James G. 
 Thompson, of Norwich, N. Y., one of 
 the most attractive villages of the Che- 
 nango Valley, where she resided until 
 1889, when she removed to Chicago, 
 the present home of her three sons. 
 
 Eminently social and self-forgetful 
 in her nature, all with whom she asso- 
 ciated felt her genial influence. In 
 leaving Norwich, after a residence of 
 thirty -two years, she unconsciously 
 bequeathed a cherished memory to 
 society, her church, and Sunday-school, 
 all of which shared her sympathetic, 
 helpful aid. 
 
 Since the death of her husband, a 
 man of rare qualities of head and heart, 
 she has yielded to the solicitations of 
 
 her friends and returned to her former 
 home, 318 James St., Syracuse, N. Y.

 Hawkes, of Trinity College, Hartford, 
 Conn. Two sons were born of this 
 marriage, for whose education the fam- 
 ily spent many years abroad, chiefly in 
 France. 
 
 While in this country, after leaving 
 Hartford, their summer home was in 
 Sing Sing, while their winters were

 died in 1887. Mrs. Hawkes has lived 
 for several years in New York city.

 her father's death, and her mother's 
 marriage to Mr. Jones, the family home 
 has been in Amherst, Mass., Miss 
 French spending her winters in New

 From a recent memorial sketch of 
 the late Eugene Field, written by his 
 former teacher, the Rev. James Tufts, 
 we subjoin the following allusions to 
 Miss French, and her influence upon 
 the character and career of the popular 
 author, who was her cousin : 
 
 " For three years before entering 
 Williams College in 1868, at the age of 
 seventeen, Eugene, with his younger 
 brother, Roswell, (owing to the death 
 of their mother,) was entrusted entirely 
 to the care of his cousin, Miss Mary 
 Field French. She was a lady of strong 
 mind and much culture, also with a 
 sound judgment and decision of char- 
 acter and very gracious manners. . . . 
 Few mothers are able or capable of 
 doing so much for her own children as 
 Miss French did for these two bro- 
 thers." 
 
 That her loving ofl&ces for the mo- 
 therless boys were gratefully recog- 
 nized, is shown in the tender words 
 with which the poet dedicated to his 
 
 309 
 
 " A dying mother gave to you 
 Her child, a many years ago ; 
 How in your precious love he grew, 
 You know — dear, patient heart, you icnow. 
 " To you I dedicate this book, 
 And as you read it, line by line, 
 Upon its faults as kindly look 
 As you have always looked on mine. 
 " Tardy the offering is, and weak, 
 Yet were I happy if I knew 
 These children had the power to speak 
 My love and gratitude to you." 
 
 And this tribute to the guardian of 
 his youth was as deserved as it was 
 sincere. In that cheerful home at Am- 
 herst he found much of the inspiration 
 that led to his success.

 been, " Whatsoever your hands find to 
 do, do it with your might." 
 
 Address, in 1897, Miss Mary F. Ful- 
 ler, io4i Centre Street, Troy, N. Y. 
 
 Fuller, Phebe Redfield, 
 
 Daughter of Stephen and Eliza (How- 
 ell) Fuller, was born at the Shawnee 
 Mission, near Batesville, Mo. 
 
 At that time the Mission House was 
 an immense wigwam. Her father, 
 Stephen Fuller, was a Missionary to 
 the Indians. Her mother was born in 
 Dumfries, Scotland, was reared in Lon- 
 don, and afterwards lived in Albany, 
 N. Y., until she became identified with 
 the Shawnee Mission as a teacher. 
 There were three daughters: Phebe, 
 Elizabeth, and Mary, whose education 
 was conducted by their parents until 
 their subsequent entrance to Troy Sem- 
 inary. Phebe was a pupil in Troy 
 previous to 1 848. Her life was devoted 
 to teaching both before and after mar- 
 riage, for she had the absorbing faculty 
 
 of always learning something new, and 
 sharing with others her knowledge 
 and accomplishments. 
 
 In 185s she married, in Louisville, 
 Ky., William Bell Anderson, and made 
 that city her home until her death in 
 1879. 
 
 She never forgot the dialect of the 
 Shawnee and Osage Indians, and to the 
 last could speak it with the facility of 
 her mother tongue. Even on her death- 
 bed, when well-nigh unconscious, the 
 habit of her childhood took possession 
 of her mind and Indian words were on 
 her lips. One who knew her and to 
 whom we are indebted for the data 
 here recorded says, in tender memory 
 of her friend, '' She was amiable as a 
 woman, true as a wife, patient under 
 suffering, contented and confiding as a 
 Christian. It seems impossible to put 
 upon paper a likeness of this estimable 
 and admirable woman."

 Daughter of Stephen and Eliza (How- 
 ell) Fuller, was born at Little Rock,

 three daughters was temporarily located 
 in Philadelphia,where her two brothers, 
 John and Zophar Howell, were well- 
 known merchants.

RECORD OF PUPILS, 1842 TO 1832. 
 
 319 
 
 ■was born in Cambridgeport, Mass., 
 August II, 1822. 
 
 When she was three years old the 
 family removed to South Shaftsbury, 
 Vt., and four years later to West Troy, 
 N. Y. 
 
 She studied in public and private 
 schools when her health would permit, 
 and was especially indebted to two 
 teachers. Miss Fanny Davis, of Fram- 
 ingham Normal School, and Miss Orce- 
 lia Shaw, of Troy Seminary. 
 
 She entered Troy Seminary as a day 
 scholar in the autumn of 1843, ^^^ 
 graduated with the class of 1845. She 
 at once chose the profession of teacher, 
 to which she has unswervingly devoted 
 her life. 
 
 She first assisted Miss Shaw in a 
 '• Select School " in Hudson, N. Y., from 
 September 1845 to December 1846, 
 when she was called to teach in Troy 
 Seminary, where she remained until 
 1859, Her work here was chiefly in 
 Mathematics and Science, teaching 
 the Geometry and Trigonometry, and 
 using for text-books in applied Mathe- 
 matics, Olmsted's Mechanics, Optics, 
 and Astronomy — the same that were 
 employed at that time in Yale Col- 
 lege. In Chemistry the methods of the 
 Rens. Polytechnic Institute were fol- 
 lowed. 
 
 A course of twenty -five or thirty lec- 
 tures was given on inorganic Chemis- 
 try, illustrated by the professor with 
 experiments. Each lecture was fol- 
 lowed by the class going over the sub- 
 ject, themselves performing the same 
 experiments. 
 
 It is probable that Troy Seminary 
 was the first to allow the use of the appa- 
 ratus of the laboratory by the students 
 themselves. A professor from the 
 Polytechnic Institute had heretofore 
 
 been employed to deliver the lectures ; 
 but in 1850, when it became difficult to 
 secure a professor's services, the entire 
 responsibility of the training of the 
 class and delivering the lectures was 
 vested in Miss Hastings, who was 
 among the first women, if not the first 
 in this country, to give laboratory lec- 
 tures with experiments. Of her liberal 
 qualification for such position, and her 
 ability to elucidate the mysteries of her 
 favorite science, there are to-day hun- 
 dreds of witnesses throughout the land, 
 women who have outlived their fortu- 
 nate school-days, but not their happy 
 memories. These recall with gratitude 
 and affection their faithful and inde- 
 fatigable young teacher, Mary A. Hast- 
 ings. 
 
 Nor were her duties restricted to the 
 abstruse sciences alone. About 1852 
 the class in English Literature, which 
 had previously been conducted by Mrs. 
 John Willard, was assigned to Miss 
 Hastings. She had already a Compo- 
 sition Class numbering from fifty to 
 seventy students, and to meet the de- 
 mands of these accumulated duties in- 
 volved unremitting study on the part 
 of the youthful enthusiast. The rapid 
 progress in science, the miraculous rev- 
 elations of Electricity, the captivating 
 history of Art and of Literature each 
 found in her an eager student. Her 
 soul was in her work. Never content 
 with her attainments, she was a veri- 
 table explorer in an ever-widening 
 realm ; and to lead her pupils upward 
 into these pleasant paths of knowledge 
 seemed to her the greatest service she 
 could render them, and one worthy of 
 her utmost efforts. 
 
 After thirteen years of faithful ser- 
 vice to her Alma Mater, we find Miss 
 Hastings, in 1859, associated with Miss 
 
320 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Amelia Field, at the head of a Female 
 Seminary in Hamilton, N. Y. In i860 
 Miss Field's place was iilled by Miss 
 Dora Waters (a Troy pupil). 
 
 The teachers gathered into that 
 school, many of them graduates from 
 Troy, were exceptional for ability, 
 character, and refinement, and suc- 
 ceeded in placing Hamilton Female 
 Seminary in the front rank of the 
 boarding-schools of that day. 
 
 The new position, which gave cheer- 
 ful promise for Miss Hastings' future 
 career, augmented rather than light- 
 ened her responsibilities. But she 
 met them all with confident hope and 
 vigorous purpose. For her, 
 
 ' ' Rest was not quitting a busy career, 
 Rest was fitting one's self to one's sphere," 
 
 and with that inherent energy which 
 had thus far characterized her, she 
 gave herself heart and soul to the 
 new conditions, ignoring until too late 
 the limitations of health and endur- 
 ance. 
 
 A pathetic passage from her letter 
 outlines the shadow that enfolded her 
 at this crisis : 
 
 " Those three years at Hamilton 
 were fateful years to me. Before they 
 were over the War was in full progress, 
 and no one could foresee the end. In 
 1 861 my mother was taken away, and 
 a year later my father followed her. 
 The little home I had made for them 
 in Shaftsbury, where they lived when 
 they were young, was broken up. And 
 now my health was gone, and the 
 foundation I had been laying for my 
 future work was swept away." 
 
 But this was not to be the end. A 
 prolonged rest, skilful medical treat- 
 ment, and an indomitable will greatly 
 modified her disease, restoring her to 
 
 a comfortable degree of health, which 
 justified her resumption of her profes- 
 sion. In 1864 she took a place on the 
 staff of the teachers in the new Ripley 
 Female College in Poultney, Vt., where 
 she continued during six years. It was 
 here that she instructed the senior class 
 in the study of General Literature 
 with Schlegel as a text-book, and the 
 History of the Fine Arts, both being 
 in advance of the usual college curri- 
 culum. Miss Hastings' connection with 
 Ripley College was succeeded by an- 
 other respite from teaching, during 
 which she spent the summer of 1873 
 in Europe. 
 
 In 187s Smith College was opened 
 in Northampton with a class of fifteen, 
 to which Miss Hastings gave instruc- 
 tion in Mathematics for one year. Fol- 
 lowing this she accepted a position in 
 Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pa., 
 where she had charge of the scientific 
 department for four years. 
 
 Since 1880 she has not connected 
 herself with any school, but has spent 
 her winters chiefly in New York and 
 Brooklyn. 
 
 With her untiring industry she im- 
 proved the opportunities of her Euro- 
 pean travel by studying Art in foreign 
 galleries, and by the acquisition of a 
 well-selected collection of photographs 
 qualified herself to conduct parlor 
 classes. In this less arduous and most 
 congenial mission she has kept her 
 heart young and her mind enriched. 
 
 Miss Hastings first began her Art 
 lectures in the parlor of the Packer 
 Institute, Brooklyn, under the patron- 
 age of Prof. Crittenden, whose friend- 
 ship she enjoyed until his death. 
 
 Since 1892 she has, in addition to 
 her pursuit of Art and Literature, 
 been occupied industriously with the

 preparation of the volume published 
 by the Emma Willard Association. 
 
 It would be interesting, did space 
 permit, to append to this sketch the 
 numerous affectionate inquries for this 
 teacher which have come to us from 
 former pupils whom her faithful life 
 befriended. Two examples must suf- 
 fice. Referring to Troy Seminary and 
 Mrs. Willard, the writer, a Troy pupil 
 in the late fifties, says : 
 
 " I have a very high appreciation of 
 our old college, for such it was in 
 fact. ... I have never been ashamed 
 of her (Mrs. Willard's) training, nor of 
 a comparison with the new colleges in 
 some very fundamental respects. One 
 of the most valued of those features 
 was of course Miss Hastings — our Mary 
 Somerville in Mathematics and Chem- 
 istry. May her later days be as peace- 
 ful and happy as she deserves to have 
 them. 
 
 " Very truly yours, 
 
 " CAROLYN STICKNEY POWERS." 
 
 Mrs. Louise Chandler Moulton pays 
 a just and affectionate tribute to the 
 friend of her early youth : 
 
 " 28 Rutland Square, 
 
 " February 9, 1897. 
 
 " Dear Mrs. Fairbanks : — I have 
 chanced to hear that your Troy Semi- 
 nary book is nearing its completion. 
 Of course it will contain a sketch of 
 my dear friend. Miss M. A. Hastings. 
 I have wondered if you would leave 
 space to include a brief expression of 
 my love and admiration for her, my 
 appreciation of her influence for good 
 on the lives of all those who, like my- 
 self, have been intimately associated 
 with her. 
 
 " She has not only a rare intellectual 
 equipment, but also a rare character, 
 full of disinterested and self-sacrificing 
 
 helpfulness, full of the love of God 
 and the love of humanity. 
 
 " I was so fortunate as to be, for one 
 year of my early girlhood, among her 
 pupils ; and she has been ever since 
 the one friend to whom I have turned 
 for counsel and sympathy in the prob- 
 lems and the sorrows which come to us 
 all ; and I fain would place on record 
 both my love for her and my apprecia- 
 tion of her rare and noble qualities. 
 
 " Yours most sincerely, 
 
 " LOUISE chandler MOULTON."

 Hitchcock's life is neither lonely nor 
 self -centered, for she says, " My chil-

 have a family of twenty-seven." 
 
 Since Miss Hitchcock's retirement 
 from Knoxville she has established her 
 home in Pasadena, Cal.

 Hobsoa, Sophia L., 
 
 Daughter of Peter John and Eloisa 
 ( Dewey ) Hobson, was born in Ben- 
 nington, Vt. Her father was born in 
 England, and was a lawyer by profes- 
 sion. The family home was in Illinois, 
 where during her father's life Sophia 
 Hobson enjoyed liberal advantages of 
 education. After his death, which oc- 
 curred in her early youth, she lived 
 with her maternal grandfather in Ben- 
 nington, Vt., from which town she 
 went to Troy Seminary for the school 
 year of 1842 and 1843. 
 
 She devoted herself to teaching for 
 a period of years in the States of New 
 York and Illinois. In 1854 she mar- 
 ried Allyn, and made her home 
 
 in Sonora, Cal. Subsequently she 
 taught in Sonora and in Santa Bar- 
 bara, being the first female teacher of 
 that section. Afterwards she removed 
 to Ventura, Cal. and taught for several 
 years. 
 
 The children of her schools were all 
 Spanish, and only one could speak a 
 little English. When the American 
 people began to settle in Santa Bar- 
 bara, and held their first Fourth of July 
 celebration, they were surprised to hear 
 the Spanish children sing the National 
 songs which she had taught them.

 Hooker, Marion P., 
 
 Daughter of Samuel P. and Mary 
 (Martin) Hooker, was born in West 
 Poultney, Vt. 
 
 She was but four years of age when, 
 through her mother's death, she went 
 to live with her maternal grandfather, 
 Peter Martin, in the town of Under- 
 bill. In the old farm-house under the 
 hills, in the shadow of Mansfield Moun- 
 tain, surrounded by wild and majestic

 scenery, a love for nature became a 
 part of her being. She went to the 
 district school in Underbill, although 
 more than a mile from her grandfa- 
 ther's, but the distance was no obstacle 
 to the earnest child who was as prompt 
 in duty as she was eager in her childish 
 sports. When she was seven years old 
 her father's second marriage brought 
 her again to Poultney, where she en- 
 joyed the advantages of the village 
 school. 
 
 The erection of the Troy Conference 
 Academy in 1837 turned a leaf in the 
 life of Marion Hooker. For nearly 
 twelve years she was identified with 
 the Academy as student or teacher. 
 In 1844 she received the first diploma 
 awarded at the Troy Conference Acad- 
 emy. 
 
 Following close upon this she enter- 
 ed Troy Female Seminary, where her 
 proficiency gave her rank at once in 
 the Senior Class. At her graduation 
 in 1845 her essay on " The First Period 
 of English Literature," was one of the 
 three accorded the honor of publica- 
 tion. She returned to Poultney to as- 
 sume the duties of " Teacher of Paint- 
 ing and Modern Languages " in the 
 Academy, and with thoroughness and 
 tact soon established her reputation as 
 teacher. She seemed to have a natural 
 gift for imparting knowledge. 
 
 In 1849 she married Alvah Dunning 
 Roe, lawyer, of Northeast, Dutchess 
 Co., N. Y. Soon after marriage the 
 family home was established in Chat- 
 ham, N. Y., and it was here that Mrs. 
 Dunning again took up the congenial 
 duties of teaching. The impaired 
 health of her husband induced the de- 
 voted wife to enlist in an enterprise, 
 for which her predilections, education 
 and experience eminently qualified her. 
 
 A commodious addition was made to 
 the house recently built in a pictur- 
 esque locality, a corps of teachers se- 
 cured, and " BuRNSTED " with its pleas- 
 ant, home-like surroundings and its fifty 
 pupils, was not long in attracting the 
 favorable attention that promised ful- 
 filment of the hopes of its zealous foun- 
 der. Though the passing years with 
 increasing cares and responsibilities 
 brought anxiety and disappointments, 
 we find the brave, energetic woman in 
 new fields of usefulness, no less earnest 
 and self-forgetting in her effort to aid 
 her husband and educate her three 
 children — two sons and one daughter : 
 Harvey Hooker Roe, Marion Hooker 
 Roe, and Alva Lucius Roe. 
 
 With rare intellectual endowments 
 and literary tendencies she was never- 
 theless supremely domestic, and found 
 her truest inspiration in her affections. 
 
 As a teacher she was especially suc- 
 cessful in winning the confidence and 
 affection of her scholars, and her Chris- 
 tianity was so prominent and practical 
 that few came within its sphere with- 
 out feeling it. But her useful and be- 
 neficent life ended early, in the prime 
 of her noble womanhood. It was in 
 Salisbury, Conn., where her husband 
 and herself were conducting the Acad- 
 emy, that the summons came to her in 
 1863. 
 
 A passage from a letter written by 
 Mrs. John H. Willard, of Troy Semi- 
 nary, to the bereaved husband, bears 
 true and tender witness to her worth : 
 
 " It is most gratifying and encourag- 
 ing to me that you can trace to my in- 
 fluence any of the wealth of goodness 
 and greatness of your gifted wife. It 
 is her highest praise that she fulfilled 
 the duties nearest to her — that, as the 
 Christian woman she rose superior to

 the author or artist in the relations of 
 teacher, wife and mother; and I re- 
 joice to learn from her husband that 
 her work was well done. She will live 
 in the character of many a lofty wo- 
 man, who has been led by her example 
 to blend the graces of the heart and 
 mind in a holy union." 
 
 Hooker, Josephine, 
 
 Of Pinckney, S. C, was a pupil in 
 Troy Seminary from 1848 to 1850. 
 
 She married, in Jackson, Miss., in 1 8 54, 
 J. C. Farrar, of Charleston, S. C.,one of 
 the firm of Farrar Brothers, merchants. 
 
 In 1862 the dangerous vicissitudes of 
 war compelled the family to take refuge 
 in Pinckney, upon a plantation which 
 Mrs. Farrar had inherited from her 
 aunt. Mr. Farrar was obliged to re- 
 main on duty in the city, while his wife 
 with her three small children estab- 
 lished herself in safety on the planta- 
 tion, under the protection of trusty ser- 
 ants, who continued loyal until the close 
 of the War. Subsequently Mr. Farrar 
 retired from business in Charleston, 
 and devoted himself to the cultivation 
 of the plantation. 
 
 There are four children : the eldest 
 daughter is the wife of the Rev. B. F. 
 Wilson, President of Converse College 
 in Spartansburgh ; the youngest of the 
 daughters is Mrs. B. F. Arthur, of 
 Union, S. C. A son and daughter re- 
 main with their parents.

 (Woodhams) Chart, was born at the 
 home of her paternal grandfather in 
 Leatherbottle Lane, Newbridge, Nor- 
 wood, England. She was brought to 
 the United States when only two years 
 
 of age, and on her mother's second 
 marriage to William Hopkins, Organist 
 and Composer of Music, she adopted 
 the name and was thereafter known as 
 Elizabeth Chart Hopkins, and by that 
 name enrolled as a pupil of Troy Sem- 
 inary in 1842. 
 
 After leaving the Seminary she was 
 for a while in a private school in Som- 
 erville, N. J., under the care of Miss 
 Harvey ; then returning to Troy, at-

 Street, and later that of Miss Bliss. In 
 1 849 she was a teacher in New Bruns- 
 wick, N. J., near the home of her 
 adopted father, where she established 
 a Sunday-school which still survives, 
 and from which a church has grown. 
 She was originally a member of the 
 Presbyterian Church in Troy, but 
 eventually identified herself with the 
 Baptists. 
 
 Of musical tastes, she belonged to 
 the Mendelssohn and the Choral Soci- 
 eties of Troy. In 1867 she went to 
 live in Plainville, Mich.

 In 1847 she returned to Troy as 
 teacher in the Seminary, having classes 
 in Astronomy and Latin. On the re- 
 tirement of Miss Storer in 1850, Miss 
 Hopkins succeeded her in the depart- 
 ment of Oil Painting, in which branch 
 she was an admirable instructor. Her 
 pupils were devotedly attached to her. 
 Every one felt the inspiration of her 
 presence in the class, rejoicing in her

 words of praise, or acknowledging the 
 justice of her criticisms. Miss Hop- 
 kins not only loved her art, but she 
 had a loving interest in her pupils, some 
 of whose happiest hours were spent in 
 her sunny studio. 
 
 In 1862 she resigned the position, 
 and subsequently passed two years in 
 European travel and study. Later she 
 lived with her sisters in the West, until 
 her death from apoplexy, in 1878, in 
 Oshkosh, Wis. 
 
 Her best tribute is the loving mem- 
 ory of her pupils.

 Hotchkiss, Catharine F., 
 
 Daughter of Seymour and Mary 
 (Sackett) Hotchkiss, was born in Paris 
 Hill, Oneida Co., N. Y. 
 
 When she was five years of age her 
 father set out with his family to make 
 a home in Indiana. They were accom- 
 panied by twenty-seven others, all re- 
 lying upon the guidance of Seymour 
 Hotchkiss, who had previously made a 
 prospecting journey. 
 
 Unfortunately for the little colony 
 their leader fell a victim to the mala- 
 rial fever that in that early day pre- 
 vailed in the western country, and 
 died before reaching the " promised 
 land." 
 
 Ultimately many more of the com- 
 pany succumbed to the unhealthy cli- 
 mate, and when ten years old, the now 
 orphaned child, Catharine Hotchkiss, 
 found a home with her paternal grand- 
 parents near Utica, N. Y. There she 
 attended the district school, until, at 
 sixteen years of age, she was herself 
 installed as teacher. 
 
 After successive changes of residence

 in Hampton, Va., under Col. John B. 
 Cary, as Principal. 
 
 In the same year she married Dr. 
 Richard G. Banks, of Hampton, a man 
 of worth and recognized standing. He 
 owned a beautiful residence overlook-

 marriage, he greatly enlarged and im- 
 proved, adapting it to a school for

 our children. The soldiers from For- 
 tress Monroe came the next day and 
 plundered the town.

 " He chanced to speak of it one day 
 in a Troy boarding-house, in the pres- 
 ence of my sister, Mrs. Elisha Galu-

 book, one year after the war, found 
 its way to me — dear reminder of pleas-

 possession."

 nary in 1842. She was a faithful, con- 
 scientious student, continuing for three 
 years, and graduating with conspicuous 
 ability with the class of 1845. -A- close 
 friendship existed between her and 
 her class-mates, Mary A. Hastings and 
 Eleanor Meneely. Their homes were 
 in West Troy, and in their daily at- 
 tendance upon school they were con- 
 stantly associated, crossing the river 
 in company and sharing with each 
 other the lunch and study hours. It 
 is recalled by their fellow-students that 
 in their perfect recitations this trio was 
 the envy and pride of their class and 
 the delight of Miss Hudson's (their 
 teacher) heart. 
 
 With a goodly heritage of the no- 
 bler qualities of mind and heart de- 
 veloped by judicious home-training, 
 and supplemented by her thorough 
 education, Maria Kenney was well-qual-

 is now Mrs. H. L. Beveridge, of 732 
 New Jersey Street, Indianapolis, Ind. 
 
 Mrs. Gurley was tenderly devoted to 
 the welfare of her Alma Mater. She 
 loved the old building itself and all 
 pertaining to it, and when in the crisis 
 of its affairs following the retirement 
 of Mr. and Mrs. John Willard, it seemed 
 in danger of being diverted to other 
 uses, she urged her husband and his

 brother to prevent its sale. Possibly 
 her timely persuasive influence saved 
 the property from passing into other

 ley, she contributed its furnishings.

 Address, in 1895, Mrs. Joseph B. 
 Hamilton, Neenah, Wis. 
 
 King, Ellen, 
 
 Third daughter of Gen. Nathaniel 
 King and Ottillia (Mayer) King, was 
 born in Hamilton, N. Y., July 3, 18 12. 
 
 From her father she inherited great 
 intellectual power, and fine literary 
 taste. Under his direction, in a home 
 whose atmosphere was that of study, 
 she received her first education, which 
 was continued later in the Hamilton 
 Academy. 
 
 In 1 846 she entered the Troy Female 
 Seminary, where her sister, Miss Caro- 
 line F. King, was already a teacher. 
 Here she made a fine record, and grad- 
 uated in August of the same year. 
 
 From May 1847 to September 1848, 
 she taught at Washington, Pa., in the 
 boarding-school of Miss Foster, (after- 
 wards Mrs. Hanna) who pronounced 
 Miss King " the best disciplinarian she 
 ever had in her corps of teachers." 
 The secret of this success may have lain 
 in the qualification ascribed to her by 
 one of her pastors : " a wonderful com- 
 bination of great strength with extreme 
 gentleness." 
 
 After leaving Mrs. Hanna's she was 
 governess, and a valued friend, in the 
 family of the Hon. Gerrit Smith, of 
 Peterboro, N. Y. Here, in December 
 1849, she married Hon. James Barnett, 
 
 of the same place. To his five mother- 
 less children she became a mother in- 
 deed, and they now " rise up and call 
 her blessed." 
 
 Later, two daughters were born to 
 her, Caroline F., (class 1870,) and Helen 
 S., (1872.) In this home Miss Caroline 
 F. King spent most of her vacations. 
 From it four of the daughters went to 
 the Troy Seminary, and " Seminary " 
 news and interests were always a wel- 
 come topic of conversation in that home. 
 
 Mrs. Barnett had a remarkable gift 
 of imparting knowledge. She was 
 preeminently a teacher. Nor did her 
 teaching cease when she exchanged 
 the school-room for the family. In her 
 children she found some of her most 
 devoted pupils. Her methods were 
 always inductive, and she seemed to 
 use by intuition some of the best ideas 
 of Froebel and Pestalozzi. Sitting with 
 her lap full of flowers and leaves, the 
 centre of an eager group of children, 
 she taught them Botany, which to them 
 was " a talk about flowers." Her "Talks 
 about the Stars" still linger in the 
 loving memory of those who only years 
 later learned the name " Astronomy." 
 Her enthusiasm was contagious. Her 
 pupils loved to study. Mrs. Barnett was 
 a sincere, devoted Christian, and in 
 Sunday-school work her success was 
 remarkable. Notwithstanding many 
 family cares Mrs. Barnett found place 
 in her heart for the cause of the tempt- 
 ed, the oppressed, and the suffering, 
 and gave to them freely of her means, 
 her time, and her prayers. Her literary 
 ability found most frequent expression 
 in letter-writing, of which she was a 
 mistress, and in sweet verses to her 
 family and friends on anniversary oc- 
 casions. Her printed articles were few. 
 Her death at Oneida, N. Y., January

 15, 1874, was a great affliction to her 
 church, her large circle of relatives 
 and friends, and to the household of 
 which she had long been the life and 
 inspiration. 
 
 King, Caroline P., 
 
 Second daughter of Gen. Nathaniel 
 and Ottillia (Mayer) King, was born 
 in Hamilton, N. Y., May 22, 1810. Her 
 father, after graduating from Yale Col- 
 lege (in the class 1792), studied law 
 with the celebrated Ambrose Spencer, 
 in Albany N. Y., where he enjoyed 
 the society of Chancellor Kent and 
 other emiment jurists of his day. Pos- 
 sessed of the spirit of the times, he 
 pushed westward to the then new re- 
 gion of Central New York, where he 
 married, reared a large family, and 
 filled many positions of importance in 
 that rapidly growing section. 
 
 During the war of 18 12 he was at 
 one time ordered, as Major-General of 
 militia, to take command of the forces 
 at Sackett's Harbor. Gen. King pos- 
 sessed mental gifts of a high order 
 and of great versatility. He was pas- 
 sionately devoted to literature and was, 
 even to his advanced years, a student. 
 
 His daughter Caroline, after several 
 years of study at the Hamilton Acade- 
 my, made her maiden effort at teach- 
 ing in a little red school-house near 
 her native village. Soon afterwards 
 she was invited by Hon. Gerrit Smith, 
 of Peterboro, N, Y., the son of her 
 father's friend, to be his children's 
 governess. There began a warm friend- 
 ship which existed through life be- 
 tween Miss King and the surviving 
 members ot that family. The g^eat 
 philanthropist was then in the early 
 flower of his splendid manhood, deep- 
 ly interested in the great moral is- 
 sues of the day, and spending his time 
 
 and fortune and best thought in aiding 
 to solve them. His home was the rally- 
 ing-place of men famous in the histo- 
 ry of our country. Among these was 
 an ardent advocate of the abolition of 
 slavery, whose arguments proved un- 
 availing with Mr. Smith, then a colo- 
 nizationist, but most effectually con- 
 verted the governess. In later years, 
 when Mr. Smith had become one of the 
 foremost leaders of the abolition move- 
 ment, Miss King playfully reminded 
 him that she and other ladies of his 
 house were of keener insight than he. 
 Later, Miss King became preceptress 
 in the academies in La Fayette, Fay- 
 etteville, and Cherry Valley, N. Y. She 
 filled these positions suceessfully ; yet, 
 with the ambition of the true teacher 
 she longed for a broader education. 
 Young at heart as a school girl but 
 with the mind of the mature woman, 
 she set out upon a new departure, one 
 which was destined to lead to the crown- 
 ing event of her life. She went to 
 Troy to board with a relative and avail 
 herself of the educational advantages 
 of the city. Upon her first visit to the 
 Troy Female Seminary, then in the 
 height of its success, she was charmed 
 with the orderly arrangements, the 
 sight of hundreds of young ladies en- 
 gaged in study, and the atmosphere of 
 elevated thought created by Mrs. Em- 
 ma Willard, and ably sustained by Mr. 
 and Mrs. John H. Willard, into whose 
 hands the work had recently been 
 committed. She was convinced that 
 here was her opportunity, and she en- 
 tered the Seminary as a day scholar in 
 the early part of the year 1845, so con- 
 tinuing until the fall of the same year, 
 when she became a boarding pupil, 
 and graduated in February, 1846. At 
 the request of Mrs. Willard she re- 
 turned in March of the same year as a 
 
340 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 teacher, a position which she occupied 
 continuously until the close of the 
 boarding department in 1872, a period 
 of twenty-six years. 
 
 The branches assigned to Miss King 
 were Botany, English Grammar, Com- 
 position, Karnes' Elements of Criticism, 
 Moral Science, and the reading of 
 Shakspeare's plays. In most of these 
 studies she employed original methods, 
 and in the higher branches encouraged 
 free discussion of important topics. 
 Her " Shakspeare " students remem- 
 ber with pleasure their presentation of 
 scenes from great plays before the 
 school, and Mrs. Willard's'^praise of 
 their efforts. In addition to these du- 
 ties Miss King was Mrs. Willard's pri- 
 vate secretary, a position involving 
 great labor, especially in the prep- 
 aration of the extensive reports for 
 the Regents of the University of the 
 State. 
 
 During her residence in Troy Miss 
 King was a member of the First Pres- 
 byterian Church, and greatly enjoyed 
 the ministrations and friendship of her 
 pastor. Dr. N. S. S. Beman. Of a deep 
 religious nature, she took great inter- 
 est in the spiritual welfare of the young 
 ladies, and for many years conducted 
 their Saturday evening prayer-meet- 
 ing. 
 
 Among the most pleasant memories 
 of her seminary life was Mrs. Emma 
 Willard's encouragement to younger 
 teachers, and her beautiful hospitality. 
 Miss King brought to her work in the 
 Seminary a fine mental endowment 
 and a nature of high moral tone. She 
 was thoroughly conscientious in the per- 
 formance of duty, and enthusiastically 
 devoted to the school with which her 
 life was so closely identified. Its suc- 
 cess filled her with joy. 
 
 Her generosity is proverbial among 
 those who knew Miss King well. Of- 
 ten has her timely aid lifted the bur- 
 den of anxiety from a troubled heart ; 
 and she has known no greater joy 
 than that which comes from helping 
 others. 
 
 During the dark days of the Civil 
 War Miss King was intensely patriotic. 
 She gave generously from her small 
 funds for the nation's help, and her 
 prayers were daily offered in its behalf. 
 Her spare moments were employed in 
 knitting and sewing for the "boys in 
 blue," and many a holiday afternoon 
 she spent in carrying luxuries to the 
 soldiers in the Lansingburgh hospital. 
 
 After leaving the Seminary, in 1872, 
 Miss King spent several years with 
 her sister in Oneida and Peterboro, 
 N. Y. In 1879 she yielded to the ear- 
 nest solicitation of her niece, Mrs. Car- 
 oline Barnett Taylor (class of '70), to 
 make her home with her in Washing- 
 ton, D. C. Although through the in- 
 firmities of increasing years she was 
 debarred from participation in the 
 more active interests of Washington 
 life, she nevertheless found enjoyment 
 in many of its opportunities, and espe- 
 cially delighted in the society of her 
 " Troy girls " who lived in Washing- 
 ton, and of many others who in their 
 travel found their way to the Capital. 
 
 With her rare mental powers unim- 
 paired, and an unsatiated sense of en- 
 joyment, Washington was to her de- 
 clining years truly the land of Beulah. 
 Hers was a heart that never grew old. 
 She was deeply interested in the work 
 of the Emma Willard Association, and 
 sanguine in her faith in the successful 
 future of the Troy Female Seminary. 
 
 Miss King died in Washington in 
 1894. Writing of the event, one of her

 Troy pupils alluding to Miss King as 
 her Botany teacher and a lover of flow- 
 ers, says : 
 
 " I cannot but wonder if my beloved 
 teacher still holds the lilies in her 
 hands — still breathes their strange, 
 sweet fragrance. 
 
 '• Who knows but in the great Un- 
 known the lilies grow? Whatever be 
 the beauties of that unseen land, our 
 kind and patient teacher is in the en- 
 joyment of them. Whether or not she 
 still gathers flowers ; whether or not 
 her education be finished, death has 
 told her more than all this fair earth's 
 lore. I am still her pupil." 
 
 Kinnicutt, Elizabeth Mary, 
 
 Daughter of John W. and Gertrude 
 (Van Schaack) Kinnicutt, born in May- 
 field, N. Y., attended Troy Seminary 
 from 1846 to 1850. She gave special 
 attention to music, and during the 
 year 185 1 was a teacher of vocal and 
 instrumental music in the Seminary. 
 
 In 1857 she married George Willis 
 Walker, of Albany, N. Y., later of Bos- 
 ton, Mass. Five children were born of 
 this marriage, four now living : one

 Louise Walker, and Mary Josephine 
 Walker.

 sumption in 1879, i^ Maiden, Mass., 
 and is buried in Mt. Auburn Cemetery. 
 The family residence continues in Mai- 
 den, Mr. Walker having again married. 
 Two daughters are studying music in 
 Boston, the children having inherited 
 the musical gifts of their mother. 
 
 Gertrude A. Walker is a graduate of 
 Smith's College, and now a practising 
 physician in Philadelphia, a specialist 
 in diseases of the eye. 
 
 In furnishing the above data of her 
 mother, Miss Walker says : 
 
 "I well remember my mother's great 
 and lasting affection for Mrs. Emma 
 Willard. There hung in our house a 
 picture of that much-loved and hon- 
 ored teacher, and I recall the calm, 
 intellectual, and kind face, which in 
 my childhood I learned to reverence."

RECORD OF PUPILS, 1842 TO 1852.

 "I remember that her beauty at- 
 tracted universal admiration, while her 
 character as a pupil and a lady secured 
 the confidence and approval of all. No 
 better proof of this could be given than 
 the circumstance of her attending Dr. 
 Wadsworth's Church. She had heard 
 him in Boston, and charmed as all peo- 
 ple were with his unique and impres- 
 sive style, she desired to be one of his 
 congregation in Troy. His church 
 was some distance from the Seminary, 
 and no boarders attended it. While 
 a teacher usually accompanied Miss 
 Locke, she was also permitted to go 
 alone. Her seat was in the rear of the 
 church, so that in reaching it she faced 
 the audience. Her beauty and digni- 
 fied bearing did not escape observa- 
 tion. She had not been long in school 
 before the teacher who accompanied 
 her to church was invited with herself 
 to " take tea " at the house of one of 
 the elders. There she first met Dr. 
 ^Vadsworth. With the consent of home 
 friends and the concurrence of Mrs. 
 Willard, this acquaintance was contin- 
 ued during her stay at the Seminary, 
 following which, she became the wife 
 of the distinguished divine. 
 
 " Her life was devoted to his family, 
 and to the brightening and blessing of 
 her home she consecrated the excep- 
 tional powers of her rich nature. 
 
 " The Rev. Dr. Wadsworth, her hus- 
 band, had a wonderful career as a min- 
 ister. He lived to a ripe old age, and 
 during the long years of his populari- 
 ty, with all the toil, care, and burden 
 which they brought, Mrs. Wadsworth 
 inspired, helped, and strengthened him 
 continually." 
 
 Said one who knew them well : 
 
 " Dr. Wadsworth owed his best suc- 
 cess to his wife. Hiding herself away 
 
 out of sight, she poured the light and 
 strength and influence of her own spirit 
 into her husband's life. And what she 
 did for him and through him to bless 
 other lives, can be known only in that 
 day when all the harvest of her life has 
 been gathered in." 
 
 Mrs. Wadsworth was the mother of 
 two sons, one of whom, the Rev. Chas. 
 Wadsworth, Jr., of Philadelphia, says, 
 in tender memory of his mother : 
 
 " Her life was one of such pure con- 
 secration to her husband and children 
 that data do not tell much about it." 
 
 " Of all women I have ever known," 
 says one of her closest friends, " she 
 was the most brave and unselfish, pure 
 and strong, cheery and tender. She 
 was a consecrated and devoted wife." 
 
 Her children brightened her last 
 lonely days with tender love and care. 
 Never was mother more honored. 
 
 Mrs. Wadsworth died in 1891.

 Mary entered the Troy Seminary at 
 the age of sixteen, prepared to graduate 
 at the close of the school-year with the 
 class of 1845. At this time Madame 
 Willard maintained her separate estab- 
 lishment on the corner of Second and 
 Ferry Streets, but kept herself in touch 
 with the school and its pupils by her 
 frequent appearance in the Seminary 
 dining-room, or at the semi-weekly 
 lectures in the Examination Hall. 
 
 In her reminiscences of her school- 
 days Miss Mason writes : 
 
 " Who can forget that stately woman 
 in her trailing black satin, with its 
 complement of rich lace, and a most 
 impressive turban, which she wore like 
 a crown. 
 
 " She had the bearing of a queen — a 
 gracious queen withal, and the Semi- 
 nary girls were her reverent and loyal 
 and loving subjects. 
 
 " No article of the Seminary creed was 
 more thoroughly inculcated by the pre- 
 cepts and example of her successors, 
 than the fact that Mrs. Emma Willard 
 was the head of the institution. It is 
 equally worthy of comment that Mrs. 
 John Willard was qualified by nature 
 and long association with her predeces- 
 sor, to administer as royally in the af- 
 fairs of the school, and the society as 
 well. 
 
 " There comes to me, as I write, a 
 vision of a graceful woman in ruby 
 velvet, pale blue ostrich tips in her 
 coiffure, standing upon a slightly eleva- 
 ted dais, receiving her guests with a 
 matchless air of good-breeding. It was 
 on the occasion of a ball given by Mr. 
 and Mrs. Willard to Troy society, 
 which assembly did not, for obvious 
 reasons, embrace the school family. 
 
 " The Seminary girls were, however, 
 interested spectators from the outside, 
 
 under cover of the evening, mischiev- 
 ously peering through the windows of 
 the great hall, where the grand func- 
 tion was being enacted. 
 
 " From my point of vantage on the top 
 of a treacherous barrel I participated 
 in the brilliant occasion, and the mem- 
 ory of Mrs. Willard's regal dignity 
 abides with me. 
 
 "I am moved even in these far-off 
 days to tender and grateful thought of 
 the ready sympathy and sweet mother- 
 liness with which she comforted or 
 counselled the homesick or discouraged 
 or impetuous girls whose confidence 
 she had the art of winning." 
 
 Following her graduation at Troy, 
 Miss Mason went to Charleston, S. C, 
 as teacher in the school of Madame 
 Du Pr6. Of this experience she says : 
 
 " It was an important and interesting- 
 episode in my life. ' The girl of the 
 period ' had not then arrived, who can 
 start alone and at a moment's notice for 
 Joppa or Japan, and be back again at 
 a fixed date. 
 
 " It was on the morning of my eigh- 
 teenth birthday that the old-fashioned 
 stage-coach carried me away from the 
 sheltering love of my village home. I 
 was eager and expectant and hopeful. 
 
 " I loved travel, and I found in this 
 journey my grand opportunity ; but to 
 this day I cannot recall that departure 
 without tears. Fifty miles by coach to 
 Utica, N. Y., thence by rail to New 
 York, a four days voyage from New 
 York to Charleston by sailing packet, 
 (steam-ships were not in use until the 
 following year) opened the way to my 
 new and self-reliant life. 
 
 " Charleston was then a proud and 
 prosperous city. Madame Du Pre oc- 
 cupied with her school the historic 
 home of Alexander Hamilton, a spa-

 cious edifice, whose long galleries or 
 verandahs commanded an unobstructed 
 view of the bay and Fort Moultrie. 
 The Gadsens and Laurens's were ad- 
 jacent neighbors, and in the luxuriant 
 gardens of the latter I watched the 
 oranges ripen, and saw the golden bells 
 of the century plant swing out." Fol- 
 lowing the year in Charleston, Miss 
 Mason taught in Warrenton, N. C, in 
 the school conducted by Hon. Daniel 
 Turner (Ex-Governor) and his wife, 
 the latter a daughter of the patriotic 
 poet, Francis Key. 
 
 One year's teaching in Oswego, N. 
 Y., and one in Lexington, Ky., ended 
 her professional duties. 
 
 In 1852 she became the second wife 
 of Abel W. Fairbanks, a native of New 
 England, but at the time of marriage 
 to Miss Mason a member of the firm 
 of " Harris & Fairbanks," later " Fair- 
 banks & Benedict,'' proprietors of the 
 " Cleveland Herald," a leading daily 
 journal of Northern Ohio. 
 
 Mr. Fairbanks was for many years a 
 prosperous and enterprising citizen of 
 Cleveland, actively identified with its 
 patriotic and philanthropic associa- 
 tions. He died in Boston, Mass., in 
 1894. 
 
 Frank Fairbanks and Mrs. William 
 H. Gaylord, both of Cleveland, are the 
 children of Mr. Fairbank's first mar- 
 riage. Of the second marriage are 
 Charles M. Fairbanks, a New York 
 journalist, and Mrs. J. A. Robinson, of 
 Providence, R. L 
 
 The continuous family residence 
 during the business career of Mr. Fair- 
 banks was in Cleveland, and the attrac- 
 tive domain of '"Fair Banks" on the 
 shore of Lake Erie will be remembered 
 by many, who have tested the hospital- 
 ity of its genial host. 
 
 Although somewhat literary in her 
 tastes, Mrs. Fairbanks chose rather to 
 devote herself to a domestic career. It 
 has been said of her " that she held the 
 pen of a ready writer." She has been 
 an occasional contributor to magazines, 
 and a frequent newspaper correspon- 
 dent, having traveled extensively at 
 home and abroad, but it has been 
 chiefly in the domestic sphere that she 
 has found her work. 
 
 She is a member of the First Pres- 
 byterian Church of Cleveland, and was 
 a long time officially connected with 
 its several societies for Women's work. 
 
 Since her widowhood she has made 
 her home with her daughter.

 Mason, Elizabeth St. Clair, 
 
 Daughter of James Winthrop and 
 Melinda, (Tennille) Mason, was born in 
 Ouachita Parish, La., in 1827. 
 
 She was a pupil in Troy Seminary 
 from 1844 to 1847. Married John C. C. 
 Sharp, of Boston, a lawyer, and after- 
 wards Judge of Northern Louisiana. 
 Mrs. Sharp died soon after marriage, 
 her husband surviving her but a few 
 months. 
 
 Mason, Mary Caroline, 
 
 Sister of E. St. Clair Mason, was born 
 in Monroe, La., in 1829, and attended 
 Troy Seminary from 1844 to 1847. She 
 married J. Douglas McEnery, graduate 
 of the University of Virginia, a lawyer 
 of prominence. An only surviving bro- 
 ther, Samuel D. McEnery, is Ex-Gov- 
 ernor of Louisiana, Associate Judge of 
 the Supreme Court, and U. S. Senator 
 from that State. 
 
 Three sons and one daughter were 
 born of this marriage ; only one son

 is now living. Mrs. McEnery died in 
 Monroe in 1854. 
 
 Mason, Melinda T., 
 
 Sister of E. St. Clair ]\Iason, was a 
 pupil in Troy Seminary from 1 844 to 
 1847. Died many years ago. 
 
 Mason, Louisa J., 
 
 Sister of Elizabeth St. Clair Mason, 
 was in Troy Seminary in 1848. 
 
 The history of the Mason family to 
 which these four sisters belonged is 
 pathetically told by their kinswoman, 
 Mrs. St. J. T. Moore, of Monroe, La. 
 
 "The Mason girls, like myself, be- 
 longed to the old Tennille family that 
 has now almost passed from the face 
 of the earth, and what few remain 
 languish in comparative poverty. I 
 send you their data as near as I can 
 obtain them, and these are taken from 
 their tombs, once magnificent marble 
 monuments costing thousands of dol- 
 lars each, now defaced with mould from 
 the over-hanging trees which form al- 
 most a forest, of magnolia, cedar, cor- 
 rianda and honeysuckle. The stones 
 are so mouldy that one has to remove 
 the crust with a knife to read the in- 
 scriptions, which run as follows : ' Eliza- 
 beth St. Clair Mason, wife of John C. 
 C. Sharp, eldest daughter of James 
 Winthrop Mason, and Melinda (Ten- 
 nille), born in Ouachita Parish on 23d 
 day of Oct., 1827, and departed this life 
 on the 3d day of Sept., 1847. 
 
 " The father of Elizabeth was a direct 
 descendant from Gov. Winthrop of 
 Massachusetts, and her mother from 
 the Sydings of England. Her father 
 adhered to the Winthrop creed, but her 
 mother was a Roman-catholic. None 
 of her children embraced her faith. 
 In the group of monuments I find also, 
 ' Mary Caroline Mason, wife of James 
 
 Douglas McEnery, and second daugh- 
 ter of James Winthrop and Melinda 
 (Tennille) Mason, born in the 17th of 
 May, 1829, and departed this life in the 
 fulness of her youth on the morning 
 of Dec. 8th, 1854." 
 
 " Her husband was James Douglas 
 McEnery, a graduate of the Universi- 
 ty of Virginia, and a lawyer of prom- 
 inence at the time of his death. His 
 only surviving brother, Samuel D. Mc- 
 Enery, is Ex-Governor of Louisiana, 
 Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, 
 and U. S. Senator. Mary Caroline, or 
 (as she was familiarly known) ' Callie,' 
 left four children, three sons and one 
 daughter ; only one son survives. 
 
 " There was nothing remarkable in 
 their lives, which were those of gentle, 
 refined Southern women, an admirable 
 type of womanhood. 
 
 " Their grandfather Tennille was 
 among the pioneers of Louisiana, and 
 from him their mother inherited a good 
 deal of property, which through their 
 father's judicious management in- 
 creased to great wealth. Their home 
 was one of luxury and ease — no want 
 or Avish ungratified. 
 
 "The husbands of Elizabeth and 
 Mary Mason were men of culture and 
 superior education, surrounding their 
 families with a most refined atmo- 
 sphere. 
 
 " When death first entered the 
 charmed circle and claimed Elizabeth, 
 he chose a shining mark. Just six 
 months later, her husband, Judge Sharp, 
 laid down his saddened life to follow her 
 whom he had never ceased to mourn. 
 Another year, and a beloved younger 
 sister, Louisa J., died, and in a few 
 months, a brother. A few years passed, 
 and ' Callie ' slept with her kindred ; a 
 single month and her baby girl joined

 ful story which I have read from their 
 tombstones."

 Thomas De Geofifenried, of Chester 
 Co. Music and painting -were the ac- 
 complishments in which she excelled 
 and taught. 
 
 She possessed a charming personal- 
 ity, and very early resigned her duties 
 as teacher to become the wife of Dr. 
 Thomas W. Moore, a prominent and 
 wealthy resident of South Carolina. 
 This marriage made her the mistress 
 of an elegant and hospitable mansion 
 on a large and well-equipped plantation, 
 which position she filled with a gra- 
 cious kindness that drew all hearts to 
 her. Dr. Moore had several children 
 by a former union, to whom Mrs. Moore 
 proved a loving and tactful mother. 
 There were eight children of this sec- 
 ond marriage, only four now living. 
 
 During the Civil War Mrs. Moore 
 passed through bitter trials, for her 
 loved ones were numbered among the 
 soldiers of both factions. In the cause 
 of humanity she labored untiringly for 
 those in gray as well as for those in 
 blue. 
 
 The paint-brush and embroidery- 
 needle were exchanged for the wea- 
 ver's shuttle, and it is related of her 
 that she surpassed many a practised 
 weaver in the quality of cloth she wove 
 in those days of brave, but needy and 
 suffering men and heroic women. 
 
 It was the sad fortune of war which 
 doomed her to an early grave. During 
 a refugee trip, precipitated by the ad- 
 vance of Gen. Sherman's army, she 
 took a severe cold, which less than a 
 year later resulted in her death. She 
 died at her home in Fishing Creek, 
 S. C, in 1866. 
 
 A surviving daughter of Mrs. Moore 
 who furnishes the interesting incidents 
 of her mother's life, is Mrs. H. M. Ross, 
 Basconville, Chester Co., S. C.

 Daughter of Monroe and Clarinda 
 (Mather) McKenzie, was born in Wood-

 She married, in 1 849, Geo. M. Harris, 
 of Palmyra, and lived there till 1855, 
 going from Palmyra to Madison, Wis., 
 thence to Cedar Falls, Iowa, and in 
 1866 to Cresco, Iowa, where Mrs. Harris 
 died in 1890, survived by her husband 
 and two children, a son and a daugh- 
 ter. The family residence continues 
 in Cresco, Iowa. 
 
 McLaughlin, Anna Maria, 
 
 Daughter of John and Mary Mc- 
 Laughlin, was born in Troy, N. Y. She 
 was a pupil of Troy Seminary many 
 years, and graduated with the class of 
 1848.

 M. Deuel. Of this marriage there were 
 three daughters. 
 
 Mrs. Deuel died in 1880. She was a 
 member of the Episcopal Church. 
 
 Meneely, Eleanor Sophronia, 
 
 Daughter of Andrew and Philena 
 (Hanks) Meneely, was born in Troy, 
 N. Y. 
 
 Andrew Meneely, her father, was 
 widely known as the head of the 
 largest Bell Foundry in the United 
 States. He began the business in 1 826, 
 and by untiring industry, honest deal- 
 ing, and liberal advertising, established 
 a trade throughout the country that 
 made his name and the city in which 
 he lived famous. 
 
 Eleanor Meneely entered the Semi- 
 nary in 1 840 as a day scholar, the fam- 
 ily residence being in West Troy. She 
 pursued the full course of study, rank-

 ing high in her classes, -winning the 
 confidence of her teachers and the love 
 of her classmates. She graduated with 
 honor in 1845. She was one of the 
 trio whose excellent scholarship reflect- 
 ed much credit upon the class of 1845. 
 Miss M. A. Hastings, who later be- 
 came one of Troy Seminary's most 
 valued teachers, and Maria Kenny, 
 who married William H. Gurley, being 
 the other members. Of this trio only 
 Miss Hastings survives. 
 
 Eleanor Meneely died at her father's 
 house in West Troy in 1883. 
 
 A brother, George R. Meneely, lives

 Daughter of Eldridge G. and Jane C. 
 (Fowler) Merrick, was born in Clayton, 
 Jefferson Co., N. Y. She was a pupil 
 of Troy Seminary from 1847 to 1849. 
 
 In 1851 she married Isaac L. Lyon. 
 Of this marriage were three children : 
 Jennie, Eldridge M., and Leland Lyon. 
 
 Owing to the delicate health of her 
 husband, Mrs. Lyon's home has not 
 been permanent. She has lived, since 
 her marriage, in Pittsburgh, Pa., San- 
 dusky, Ohio, Chicago, 111., San Antonio, 
 Texas, and Monterey, Mexico. At the 
 breaking out of the Civil War the fam- 
 ily resided in Texas. Although not 
 identified with the Rebellion, they 
 nevertheless suffered from the suspi- 
 cions of their Southern friends, through 
 their Northern associations, and were 
 compelled to take refuge in Mexico at 
 the sacrifice of property and home. 
 
 Later they set up their household 
 gods in the genial climate of Southern 
 California, and are now living on an 
 orange ranch, in full enjoyment of sun- 
 shine, fruits, and flowers.

 Merritt, Elizabeth Milner, 
 
 Daughter of George and Jane Eliza 
 (Milner) Merritt, was born in St. John's, 
 N. B. Her early education was con- 
 ducted by nursery governesses and 
 private teachers in her home in New 
 Brunswick. On the removal of the 
 family from the Provinces she was 
 sent to Troy Seminary, which institu- 
 tion she entered in 1852. 
 
 She developed marked literary tal- 
 ent, and became an accomplished lin- 
 guist. She has spent many years in 
 home and foreign travel, devoting her- 
 self to the literature and art of the 
 countries visited. Painting and music 
 are numbered among her accomplish- 
 ments. It follows that from natural 
 ability and liberal opportunities she is 
 known as a brilliant conversationalist. 
 She is unmarried, and is at present 
 abroad upon her travels. 
 
 Merritt, Isabella, 
 
 Daughter of George and Jane Eliza 
 (Milner) Merritt, was born in St. John's,

 shire, England, and distinguished in 
 the Church. 
 
 Her early life was spent at her home 
 in New Brunswick, under the instruc- 
 tion of private teachers. When ten 
 years of age she removed to Philadel- 
 phia, Pa., and later to Perth Amboy, 
 N. J. She entered Troy Seminary in

 pupil in Mrs. Mears' Boarding and Day 
 School, Fifteenth Street, New York 
 city. She was an occasional contribu- 
 tor to the daily newspapers on current 
 topics, and has translated from both

 Address, in 1895, Mrs. Henriette

 Mills, Laura, 
 
 Daughter of Jonas and Myra (Clark) 
 Mills, was born in Lansingburgh, N. Y., 
 but removed in her infancy with her 
 parents to the town of Colebrook, 
 N. H. 
 
 In the beautiful valley bounded by 
 the grand hills that skirt the Connec- 
 ticut River, her childhood developed 
 in a happy home. Three younger sis- 
 ters shared with her the tender care of 
 devoted parents until the death of her 
 father, which occurred when he was 
 but thirty-three years old. 
 
 The bereaved wife, but brave mo- 
 ther, realized that a double responsi- 
 bility was laid upon her to provide for 
 the care and education of her young 
 daughters. In 1839, ^t the age of thir- 
 teen, Laura was placed in Mrs. Wil- 
 lard's Seminary in Troy. It was a sad 
 day in that New England home when 
 the young girl set off on what was then 
 regarded as the long journey from 
 Colebrook to Troy, N. Y. But her 
 happy, reassuring letters soon com- 
 forted those whom she had left behind. 
 Her strong, well-balanced mind and 
 her gentle nature commended her to 
 her teachers, especially to Mrs. Wil- 
 lard, who became her benefactress, and 
 sympathizing with the young mother's 
 efforts to educate her children, placed 
 Laura's name on the list of capable 
 scholars whose creditor she was willing 
 to become. 
 
 Nor was her trust misplaced. At 
 sixteen Laura Mills left Troy for her 
 first essay at teaching in Eutaw, Ala. 
 Here she taught two years, when she 
 married James L. Judge, Esq., a plan- 
 ter of Alabama. On her husband's 
 plantation she found ample sphere for 
 her activities and abilities, and life 
 seemed full of promise. 
 
 Again death interposed and her hus- 
 band was taken from her, leaving her 
 with two little boys and the care of a 
 large estate, which in those times in- 
 volved much anxious supervision. The 
 threatening cloud of Civil War was 
 then rising. 
 
 But her inborn heroism met the cri- 
 sis, and her experiences seemed but a 
 school in which she grew nobler and 
 more self - forgetting and more gra- 
 cious. In 1870 she married Robert 
 Caskey, of Northern Alabama. In 
 1 88 1 she died, and is buried in Ala-

 bama, where her family and her faith- 
 ful servants mark her grave with lov- 
 ing mementoes. 
 
 Two sons of her first marriage sur- 
 vive her : James Judge and Hilliard 
 M. Judge, both of Alabama. 
 
 Moe, Loretta J., 
 
 Daughter of John and Loretta (Gif- 
 ford) Moe, was born in Genoa, Cayuga 
 Co., N. Y. 
 
 Her father was of Huguenot descent, 
 his more immediate ancestors settling 
 in New England. On the maternal 
 side she traces her record back to Nor- 
 mandy. 
 
 Through the death of her mother 
 she was in her childhood committed to 
 the care of a devout grandmother, un- 
 der whose training, in the charming 
 environment of the Eastern shore of 
 Cayuga Lake, her young life devel- 
 oped. Referring to this home in after 
 years she says, " I am thankful that my 
 early associations were in that fair land." 
 
 She was carefully educated, availing 
 herself of the schools in her vicinity, 
 until her entrance to Troy Seminary 
 in 1844, where as a faithful and con- 
 scientious student she gained the con- 
 fidence and approval of her teachers, 
 and graduated with the class of 1845. 
 On leaving Troy she went under the 
 patronage of Mrs. J. H. Willard, as 
 teacher, first to Port Tobasco, Md., and 
 later to Halifax Co., Va. 
 
 In 1854 she married Garrett Hathorn 
 Post, C. E., grandson of Col. Garrett 
 Post, a soldier of the Revolution, and 
 of Gen. John C. Hathorn, who com- 
 manded at the battle of Neversink. 
 The married life of Mrs. Post was 
 chiefly spent in Elmira, N. Y. She 
 has been for many years a widow. A 
 lover of literature and art, she has been 
 a student always, and in the cultivation 
 
 of these tastes has filled her life with 
 interest. She has traveled extensively, 
 having twice visited Europe. Through 
 journalistic correspondence and a pub- 
 lished volume of her travels, entitled 
 "Scenes in Europe," she has shared 
 her opportunities with those less fa- 
 vored. She has given much attention 
 to painting, both in oil and water 
 colors. 
 
 After leaving Elmira she established 
 herself in Boston, Mass., where she is 
 identified with various clubs, and finds 
 ample scope for literary and artistic 
 pursuits. 
 
 She is a member of a Browning- 
 Society, of the New England Press 
 Association, New England Woman's 
 Club, and the Emma Willard Associa- 
 tion.

 Morse, Ann Eliza, 
 
 Daughter of Calvin and Belinda 
 (Gardiner) Morse, was born in Eaton, 
 N. Y. 
 
 Two favorite names of her early 
 home. Locust Grove and The Vinery, 
 bear witness to her healthy and happy 
 surroundings, with her companionship 
 of trees and birds and flowers. 
 
 Economy and industry, iatelligence 
 and piety, strength and gentleness, 
 pervaded by deep affection, were the 
 moulding influences of her young life. 
 
 Her education was conducted at 
 home, in private schools, and in Ham- 
 ilton Academy until 1 848, when at the 
 age of seventeen she became a pupil of 
 Troy Seminary, in whose stimulating 
 intellectual atmosphere she was an 
 eager and responsive student, graduat- 
 ing in 1850. 
 
 In the autumn of the same year she 
 went as teacher to Chestnut Street 
 Seminary, under the Misses Bonney 
 and Dillaye, of Philadelphia, where 
 she continued eight years. Carrying 
 the enthusiasm of her own school-life 
 into her new duties, her success in 
 teaching was assured from the first. 
 Definite and clear in the class-room, 
 her own interest awakened that of her 
 pupils. 
 
 At the opening of Vassar College, 
 President Raymond, who had known 
 her from childhood, (she being a favor- 
 ite cousin of Mrs. Raymond,) invited 
 her to become a member of his family, 
 as his assistant. 
 
 She had no official connection with 
 the College until the second year, when 
 she was appointed assistant to Miss 
 Lyman, the Lady Principal. She re- 
 tained this position during fourteen 
 years, until her impaired health com- 
 pelled her retirement in 1880. Her 
 subsequent life has been that of an 
 invalid, but her fortitude and Christian 
 submission have glorified even these 
 years of discipline and suffering. 
 
 Although with brief intervals she 
 has been literally " a shut in," she has 
 not been inactive. Aided by her niece 
 and constant companion, Miss Jessica 
 Cone, editor of " Scenes from the Life 
 of Christ," (the fruit of their united la- 
 bors), there has scarcely been an inter- 
 ruption in their study of history, biog- 
 raphy, literature, art, and current 
 events. A glimpse of their work may 
 be found in the paragraph we quote 
 from a letter written in 1892 : 
 
 " We have a very busy winter plan- 
 ned, one item of which is a ' Ladies' 
 Reading Circle,' for which careful pre- 
 paration is indicated by program. Our 
 first month was devoted to Lowell, the 
 second to George W. Curtis, to be fol- 
 lowed by Whittier and Tennyson. 
 There is no monotony or dullness in 
 our quiet, country-home lives. These 
 weekly readings are full of earnest 
 interest, and when we hear the constant 
 testimony, ' How elevating they are,' 
 we are more than satisfied." 
 
 Of this torch of knowledge, kindled 
 and kept burning in this little inland 
 village, one can but say, " how far that 
 little candle throws his beams." 
 
 Interwoven with all other reading 
 and study has been that of the Book of 
 Books, She rarely alluded to excluded 
 enjoyments, but in one letter her full 
 heart finds the following utterance : 
 " I fear I must give up a Bible Class of

 young men, in which I am more inter- 
 ested than in any other work I am 
 doing." 
 
 Notwithstanding her physical limi- 
 tations, the quiet home of Miss Morse 
 is a cheerful one. 
 
 In her pretty vine-covered cottage, 
 the house in which her parents lived 
 and died, she with her happy memories 
 is still an inspiration and benediction 
 to others.

 Daughter of James and Sophia Mose- 
 ley, was born in Westfield, Mass. 
 
 She entered Troy Seminary in 1844, 
 but was compelled to leave school dur- 
 ing the year, owing to the failure of 
 her eyes. 
 
 Through close study, the nervous 
 system generally, and the optic nerve 
 particularly, became much affected. 
 
 Later she was able to teach in the 
 High School of Westfield. She was a 
 zealous teacher in the Sunday-school, 
 and was eminent for her piety. She 
 
 consecrated herself to the work of For- 
 eign Missions, and was on the eve of 
 going as missionary to India, having 
 married, in 1845, the Rev. W. H. Gil- 
 bert, when she was suddenly prostrated 
 by hemorrhage of the lungs, and died 
 after a few months illness in 1846.

 years in the public schools of that city, 
 she was sent to a private school in 
 Elyria, Ohio, and in 1843 she entered 
 Troy Seminary, where she commended 
 herself by superior scholarship and 
 excellent deportment, graduating in 
 1845. 
 
 In 1 849 she married John B. Massey, 
 of Sandusky. Later they removed to 
 Osborne, Ohio, where Mrs. Massey died 
 in 1890, after many years of physical 
 and mental invalidism. She was en- 
 dowed with those qualities of head and 
 mind which secured to her the love 
 and esteem of all who knew her, and 
 before the shadow of her long illness 
 enfolded her, she met the responsibili- 
 ties of her varied relations with a tender 
 and beautiful womanliness. 
 
 A brother in his tribute to this be- 
 loved sister says : 
 
 " My earliest and happiest recollec- 
 tions are connected with her strong 
 Christian life and character. Firm in 
 her convictions of duty, modest in 
 manners, gentle in speech, her influ- 
 ence for right and truth was felt in her 
 daily life, rather than in profession or 
 creeds. For more than twenty-five 
 years she was the recipient of the most 
 tender care of her noble husband, and 
 faithful adopted daughter." 
 
 Mr. Massey died in 1891. A brother 
 of Mrs. Massey, Joseph T. Moss, is a 
 resident of Osborne, Ohio.

RECORD OF PUPILS, 1842 TO 1852. 
 
 365 
 
 of Jersey City, N. J., (deceased.) There 
 were seven children, of whom but three 
 are now living. 
 
 Mrs. Frink found herself in her wid- 
 owhood, through subsequent financial 
 reverses, dependent upon her own re- 
 sources. A liberal musical education 
 enabled her to meet the exigency, and 
 to care for her children until they in 
 turn could assume the responsibility of 
 caring for her. Her own sprightly 
 recital of her first music lesson in Troy 
 Seminary, under Prof. Blessner, will 
 have interest for others who in long- 
 gone years labored to reach the blunt 
 Professor's standard of excellence. 
 
 She had already given considerable at- 
 tention to the accomplishment in which 
 her friends regarded her as proficient. 
 " ' Will you seat you at the piano, and 
 me see what you do ?' I sat down, not 
 without some trepidation, but my whole 
 soul was thrown into the effort, and 
 probably not a few false notes. Just 
 as I was beginning a difficult run, the 
 Professor seized my hand — his whole 
 frame shook with emotion. I knew not 
 what was coming. He was about to 
 say, ' Young woman, you are my mas- 
 ter ; I can teach you nothing.' 
 
 " Flushed and expectant I waited for 
 his commendation. He said, in harsh 
 tones, ' Young woman ! you play like 
 one blame fool !' I left the room in 
 angry tears. 
 
 " It is needless to add that his severe 
 lesson was a salient one, and under his 
 thorough and honest training I was 
 qualified as a successful teacher." 
 
 Mrs. Frink's letter of reminiscences 
 furnishes a graphic picture of Mrs. 
 Emma Willard : 
 
 " Every Wednesday the scholars met 
 in the examination-room to listen to an 
 instructive lesson on ' manners.' I 
 
 shall never forget Mrs. Emma's appear- 
 ance on such occasions. Dressed in 
 black satin, her hair in puffs sur- 
 mounted by a turban or high cap of 
 lace and flowers, she awed us all by 
 her dignified and stately bearing. 
 
 " Each girl was required to pass be- 
 fore her at the close of the lecture and 
 courtesy. When in these later times I 
 attempted to show my daughter how I 
 once paid court to Mrs. Emma Willard, 
 I narrowly escaped driving through a 
 large mirror, and was constrained to 
 confess that courtesying is a lost art 
 with me now. The old Seminary has 
 passed away, but the memories that 
 cluster around its site are as numerous 
 as the g;"een leaves that flourished in 
 the Seminary Park. Many years before 
 the War of the Rebellion, the proud 
 daughters of Southern chivalry gath- 
 ered within its walls ; the distant re- 
 gions of the Western States and the 
 cities along New England's coast con- 
 tributed to this pioneer institution, 
 which was, in the hey-day of its fame, 
 the largest of its class in the world." 
 
 Mrs. Sarah Numan Frink died at her 
 home on Second Avenue, Lansing- 
 burgh, in 1897, after a protracted ill- 
 ness. 
 
 Two sons and a daughter survive her. 
 
 Orvis, Caroline Maria, 
 
 Daughter of Maj. Levi Church and 
 Electa Sophia (Purdy) Orvis, was born 
 in Manchester, Vt. 
 
 She entered Troy Seminary from 
 Manchester in 1843, attending there at 
 intervals until 1847. After leaving 
 Troy she pursued her studies with Mr. 
 Wm. A. Burnham, father of Miss Mary 
 Burnham, late of Northampton, Mass. 
 
 In 1868 she became the second wife 
 of John Conover Hinchman, of Brook-

 lyn, N. Y., who had two daughters, 
 Marie Louise, and Emma Hinchman. 
 
 Mrs. Hinchman has devoted herself 
 to the duties of her home and family, 
 while she has been active in charitable 
 and social organizations. She is a 
 member of the Episcopal Church, and 
 an occasional contributor to " The 
 Churchman " articles on church and 
 educational work. 
 
 Address, in 1895, Mrs. John Conover 
 Hinchman, Summit, N. J. 
 
 Ostrander, Lucy A., 
 
 Daughter of Simeon and Hannah 
 (Fellows) Ostrander, was born in Chat- 
 ham Centre, Columbus Co., N. Y., and 
 taught from 1844, before entering Troy 
 Seminary as a pupil, for the year 1850 
 to 1851. 
 
 In 1853 she went South as a teacher, 
 spending six years in Cahaba, Ala., 
 when impaired health compelled her 
 return to the North. In 1862 she re- 
 sumed her duties as a teacher in the 
 vicinity of her home, where she con- 
 tinued until 1887. 
 
 During this time she was an active 
 church worker as long as she was able, 
 and an efficient member of the Wo- 
 man's Missionary Society of the Dutch 
 Reformed Church, in Castleton, Rens- 
 selaer Co., N. Y. Her death occurred 
 in 1894. 
 
 A sister of Miss Ostrander is Mrs. 
 Jacob B. Lansing, Castleton, Rensse- 
 laer Co., N. Y. 
 
 Page, Julia, 
 
 Daughter of William and Cynthia 
 (Hickok) Page, was born in Rutland, 
 Vt. Her father was twice married. 
 There were two children by the first 
 marriage. Julia was the sixth child 
 by the second marriage, in a family of 
 
 five sons and five daughters. Mr. Page 
 was a lawyer of ability. He was ap- 
 pointed Cashier of the Bank of Rutland 
 when it was organized, and held office 
 there until his death in 1846. 
 
 Julia was a child of delicate consti- 
 tution, but of an energetic tempera- 
 ment. She inherited a bright and 
 active mind, and a memory so retentive 
 as to make her reliable authority on 
 various subjects. She was a pupil in 
 Troy Seminary in 1842. 
 
 In 1855 she married Newton Kellogg, 
 son of Hon. Samuel Kellogg, of Pitts- 
 ford, Vt. Two sons and one daughter 
 were born of this union : Samuel Hic- 
 kok Kellogg, John Newton Kellogg, 
 and Louise Chipman Kellogg (de- 
 ceased). 
 
 Her husband was connected with 
 the Bank of Rutland for many years, 
 and subsequently with the Rutland 
 Savings Bank, in which institution he 
 now holds the office of Treasurer. 
 
 Mrs. Kellogg died in Rutland in^ 1890, 
 leaving behind her the record of a 
 beautiful and benevolent life. For 
 many years she had been efficiently 
 identified with charitable and Christian 
 work. The various societies in which 
 she had been a diligent worker testified 
 to their sense of loss in her death by 
 tender tributes to her memory, from 
 one of which we make a brief extract : 
 
 " Her quick sympathies, regular con- 
 tributions, and earnest prayers were 
 always given to the spreading of 
 Christ's kingdom throughout the world. 
 There was no one of all the women of 
 our church who had been more familiar 
 from childhood with the missionary 
 cause, and perhaps no one who was so 
 thoroughly conversant with the fields, 
 the needs, and the laborers." 
 
 Two sisters of Mrs. Kellogg are the

 only survivors of the family of twelve 
 children. 
 
 Palmer, Eliza D., 
 
 Daughter of Dirck Lefferts and Eliza 
 Doranda (Taylor) Palmer, was born in 
 Saratoga Springs. Her early education 
 was pursued in Saratoga, under the 
 direction of the Misses Wayland (sis- 
 ters of Prof. Wayland, who was for 
 several years President of Brown Uni- 
 versity). She was a pupil of Troy 
 Seminary in 1844. 
 
 She became the wife of S. S. Spen- 
 cer, lawyer, of Erie, Pa. Of this mar- 
 riage were one daughter and two sons : 
 Kate Spencer, educated in Rye Semi- 
 nary and New York College, and later 
 Kindergarten teacher in Ottawa, Can. ; 
 Andia Putnam Spencer, and Selden P.

 Home Missionary Society of Park Pres- 
 byterian Church, of Erie ; Secretary of 
 Ladies' Union Society of Hancit Hos- 
 pital for eleven years ; and one of the 
 original founders of the " Erie Home 
 for the Friendless." 
 
 One who knew the school-girl Eliza 
 Palmer, sends this tribute : " She was 
 one of the Seminary girls whom every- 
 body loved, and I am sure that, in the 
 intervening years since she and I 
 shared the same room and studied by 
 the same lamp, she has met every re- 
 sponsibility of her life with an unswerv- 
 ing purpose for the right."

 herself to the profession of teaching

 While the above data bear witness 
 to an active and useful life, Mrs. Ken- 
 nedy modestly says, " I have tried to 
 do my duty in a quiet way, but my life 
 has been rather barren of results.". . . 
 Referring to a favorite teacher, Miss 
 Hastings, she adds, " How I loved and 
 reverenced her ! Tell her I often think 
 of her interest in the shy Southern girl 
 far away from home and friends, and 
 have never ceased to love her in all 
 these intervening years." 
 
 Mrs. Kennedy's letter of reminis- 
 ences furnishes an incident which may 
 recall to some grandmother of to-day 
 a school-girl prank in which she took 
 part. 
 
 Referring to a visit which some for- 
 mer pupils made to the Seminary girls 
 of their acquaintance, she says, " We 
 concluded to honor the event with a 
 supper in our rooms. We ordered 
 some delicacies from the city, relying 
 upon the housekeeper for the substan- 
 tials. While she was handing them 
 from the pantry, one of our number 
 discovered a tempting mince-pie, which 
 like the Babylonish garment and wedge 
 of gold, she coveted, and secretly trans- 
 ferred to her apron. Alas! in her 
 haste she slipped upon the stairs and 
 dropped her stolen treasure. 
 
 " All the young ladies, as they went 
 to supper that night, found their shoes 
 plastered with pie. The mystery of 
 whence it came remained one of the 
 unsolved problems of the Seminary, 
 
 but to the initiated, the pretty thief 
 thereafter bore the name of ' Pie.' "

 ers, both in vocal culture and instru- 
 mental. She possessed a voice of un- 
 usual sweetness and compass, and both, 
 her instructors and her friends had 
 high hopes of her future career. She 
 left the Seminary in 1849. ^ sudden

 tient suffering she died, in 1876, of 
 consumption. She was a member of

 and before her illness was a member

 Piatt, Erminnie, 
 
 Daughter of Joseph and 
 
 Piatt, 
 
 was born in the town of Marcellus, N. 
 Y. A happy combination of scientific 
 tastes inherited from her father, with an 
 ardent love of out-of-door sports, early 
 developed a desire for the study of 
 Botany, Mineralogy, and Geology. 
 
 As a very young child she began the 
 collection of specimens, which before 
 her death became one of the most 
 valuable private collections in this 
 country. 
 
 In 1850 she entered Troy Seminary 
 as a student, graduating, therefrom in 
 1853. During vacation she was ably 
 instructed in Greek and Latin by the 
 venerable Dr. Arthur, father of the 
 late ex-President. Within the year of 
 her leaving school she married Simeon 
 H. Smith, of Jersey City. Four sons 
 were born, only two of whom are now 
 living. 
 
 As a mother Mrs. Smith devoted sev- 
 eral years of her life to the educational 
 advancement of her sons, herself enter- 
 ing the School of Mines at Freiburg, 
 Saxony, for the purpose of continuing 
 the study of Geology and Mineralogy, 
 together with the use of the blow-pipe.

 graphy, receiving private instruction 
 from the University Professors, and at 
 Heidelberg occupied herself with the 
 German language and its literature, 
 under the well - known Prof. Otto. 
 Through geological researches, and 
 a part of her early childhood being 
 spent near one of the Indian reserva- 
 tions, she became interested in Indian 
 life and habits, and collected a volume 
 of Indian folk-lore, which was pub- 
 lished by the United States Bureau of 
 Ethnology. In 1880 Mrs. Smith was 
 appointed Scientific Explorer for the 
 
RECORD OF PUPILS, 1842 TO 1852. 
 
 373 
 
 Smithsonian Institute at Washington, 
 and deputized to study and aquaint 
 herself with the habits and customs of 
 the Six Nations. 
 
 She began the compilation of an Iro- 
 quois Dictionary, at the same time con- 
 tributing to various scientific journals, 
 and lecturing extensively on Indian 
 culture and ethics. She spent two 
 summers in Canada with the remnant 
 of the Tuscaroras. 
 
 Mrs. Smith enjoyed the distinction 
 of being the first woman elected as 
 " Fellow " of the New York Academy 
 of Science, and the only woman ever 
 appointed in the American Association 
 for the Advancement of Science. She 
 organized and was made President of 
 the Aesthetic Society of Jersey City, 
 whose monthly receptions in 1879 ^^^ 
 1886 were widely known. In private 
 life Mrs. Smith's warm and general 
 nature drew around her many devoted 
 friends, who watched with deep solici- 
 tude and regret the approaching illness 
 which robbed them of one who had in 
 truth been their "guide, philosopher, 
 and friend." 
 
 She died in Jersey City in 1886. Vas- 
 sar College was chosen as the recipient 
 of a Prize Fund for Young Women 
 as a fitting memorial to this gifted 
 woman. 
 
 The Indian Dictionary, which was 
 unfinished at the time of Mrs. Smith's 
 death, has since been completed by a 
 talented Indian whom she had trained 
 as her assistant, and who being familiar 
 with her plans was later employed by 
 the "Bureau of Ethnology" to fulfill 
 them.

 Skilton, Mary Augusta, 
 
 Daughter of James and Chloe (Steele) 
 Skilton, was born in Watertown, Conn.

 Plymouth Hollow, (now Thomaston), 
 Conn., until, at the age of eighteen, she 
 went to Troy, N. Y., making her home 
 in the family of her brother, Dr. Avery 
 Skilton. At this time she was a pupil 
 of Troy Seminary, in 1843. 
 
 After leaving the Seminary she re- 
 mained in Troy four years as teacher, 
 successor to Miss Eliza Anthony. 
 
 In 1847 she married Merritt Clark, 
 of Prospect, Conn., of which marriage 
 there were four children : Marion Adel- 
 la, Kate Chloetta (deceased), Halsey

 Skilton, Mary T., 
 
 Daughter of Dr. Avery J. and Mary 
 Augusta (Candee) Skilton, was born in 
 Troy, N. Y. 
 
 She numbers among her honorable 
 ancestry some early Governors of Con- 
 necticut and the Hon. John AUyn, who 
 was Secretary of State about the peri- 
 od of the Charter Oak episode ; she is 
 also a direct descendant of the actual 
 hero of that incident, who saved the 
 Charter by its fortunate hiding. 
 
 The father of Mary Skilton was born 
 in Watertown, Conn. ; later an eminent 
 physician in Troy. Her mother was a 
 native of New Haven, Conn. 
 
 The early education of Miss Skilton 
 was pursued in the Select schools of 
 Troy, notably that of Miss Eliza An- 
 thony. She studied French with pri- 
 
 vate teachers, and with her father. 
 Her delicate health precluded a con- 
 tinuous course of study, and during 
 her attendance upon Troy Seminary, 
 in 1845, ti^i' recitations were confined 
 to the morning sessions. 
 
 In 1848 and 1849 she was a pupil in 
 a New York boarding-school, but re- 
 turned to Troy Seminary for the year 
 of 185 1. Owing to her frail health and 
 sensitive eyes, her lessons could only 
 be prepared by daylight, and her pa- 
 rents deemed it unwise to subject her 
 to the more rigorous duties incident to 
 graduation ; in place of which she oc- 
 cupied her last year with music and 
 painting. After leaving the Seminary 
 she spent two years as governess in a 
 family in Georgia. 
 
 She married Henry L. Palmer, Attor- 
 ney-at-law, and has lived successively 
 in Troy, New York city, Washington, 
 D. C, Savannah, Ga., and in recent 
 years, in Brooklyn, N. Y. 
 
 She has been interested in various phi- 
 lanthropies : a prominent officer of the 
 " Brooklyn Nursery and Infants' Hos- 
 pital," a Member of the "Y. M. C. A.," 
 of the " Woman's Club " and the " Bar- 
 nard Club," a " Daughter of the Rev- 
 olution," and Vice-President of the 
 Emma Willard Association. She pre- 
 pared the " Partial Catalogue " of the 
 former pupils of Troy Seminary, the 
 compilation of which involved no little 
 perplexing labor. She has served as 
 the efficient Secretary of the "Bio- 
 graphical Committee" of the Emma 
 Willard Association." 
 
 She was a member of Plymouth 
 Church, of Brooklyn. 
 
 The late Dr. Julius A. Skilton, of 
 Brooklyn, whose sudden death in 1898 
 ended a notably useful and brilliant 
 career, was a brother of Mrs. Palmer.

 Slauson, Sarah E., 
 
 Daughter of Alfred and Julia A.

 In 1849 she married Charles S. Slau- 
 son, of New York city, a wholesale 
 dry-goods merchant. He died in 1876, 
 leaving three sons. 
 
 Mrs. Slauson has been a long time 
 connected with the W. C. T. U., and 
 zealously engaged in hospital work. 
 
 Mrs. Slauson was a passenger on 
 the ill-fated " Swallow " (a North River 
 steamboat), April 7, 1845, when twenty- 
 five of its passengers lost their lives 
 in their berths through the rush of

 Grange, N. Y. Her grandfather was 
 a colonel in the Revolutionary War. 
 Her father was a farmer, and her 
 happy childhood and youth were spent 
 in the home which had been in the 
 possession of her family for more than 
 one hundred years. She was a pupil 
 in Troy Seminary in 1849 ^^id 1850. 
 
 She married Ham, of Salt Point, 
 
 Dutchess Co., N. Y., where she lived 
 for many years, but eventually re- 
 turned to the old homestead in La 
 Grange. 
 
 Address, in 1896, Mrs. Sarah A. 
 Ham, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. 
 
 Slocum, Margaret Olivia, 
 
 Daughter of Joseph and Margaret 
 Pierson Qermain) Slocum, was born in 
 Syracuse, N. Y. 
 
 Her father was the sixth lineal 
 descendant of Miles Standish — his 
 grandmother, Olivia Standish, being 
 the daughter of David Standish, great 
 grandson of Capt. Miles Standish. 
 
 From that stalwart defender of New 
 England liberty Joseph Slocum inher- 
 ited an invincible integrity, by which 
 he was alike distinguished in prosper- 
 ity and adversity. With this charac- 
 teristic he combined strong intellect 
 and a love of literature. Even in the 
 mature years of a busy, life he found 
 time for study, and kept in close com- 
 panionship with his favorite authors. 
 
 The mother came of Puritan ances- 
 try as well, reaching back on the ma^

 ternal side to Col. Henry Pierson, of 
 Long Island, one of the founders of 
 the present Common School system of 
 this country, and brother of Abraham 
 Pierson, first President of Yale Col- 
 lege. The name of Jermain was an 
 inheritance from the Huguenots, and 
 it is written of that mother, now gone 
 to her final rest, that " She was frank 
 and guileless, refined in every instinct, 
 loyal to duty and her friends, and 
 bright and sunny all the days of her 
 life." 
 
 From such parentage it follows that 
 Margaret Olivia Slocum was blessed 
 with rare mental endowments, and a 
 harmony of character that have sig- 
 nally qualified her for an active and 
 conspicuously useful career. 
 
 She enjoyed in childhood and early 
 youth the advantages of the best pri- 
 vate schools of Syracuse, always loving 
 study for its own sake, and readily 
 mastering the elementary branches, so 
 that at twelve years of age she found 
 pleasure in Rhetoric, and pastime in 
 the brilliant marvels of Astronomy. 
 
 Through a happy childhood she grew, 
 as a flower reaches to the light, full of 
 the ecstacy of existence, but with a 
 tender conscientiousness that foreshad- 
 owed an earnest womanhood. She 
 was but a child in years when she 
 wrote in her diary as the motto of her 
 life, 
 
 " Count that day lost whose low, descending sun 
 Views from thy hand no worthy action done." 
 
 In 1846 she entered Troy Seminary, 
 and graduated in 1847. 
 
 The following years were passed in 
 her home in Syracuse, until through 
 the financial reverses of her father she 
 resolved to become a teacher. In fur- 
 therance of this purpose she secured 
 a position with her friend and former 
 
 teacher in Troy, Miss Harriette Dil- 
 laye, who with Miss Mary L. Bonney, 
 was then at the head of Chestnut 
 Street Seminary, of Philadelphia, since 
 become renowned as Ogontz School. 
 
 There Miss Slocum remained for two 
 years, meeting her responsibilities with 
 cheerful efficiency, until her over-taxed 
 strength required a respite. 
 
 Later, she resumed teaching for a 
 while, but from impaired health, only 
 at brief intervals. In 1 86g she became 
 the second wife of Hon. Russell Sage, 
 the well-known financier of New York 
 city. 
 
 Amid the responsibilities of her 
 social position through the years of 
 her married and affluent life, she has 
 been true to her early motto. 
 
 Her benefactions have been unstint- 
 ed, and her executive ability in her pub- 
 lic philanthropies has already passed 
 into history. Officially connected with 
 the Women's Christian Association, the 
 Woman's Hospital, the Woman's Ex- 
 change, Home and Foreign Missions, 
 besides other local organizations, she 
 has for many years served the interests 
 of these institutions with conspicuous 
 fidelity. 
 
 Mrs. Sage has been the President of 
 the Emma Willard Association from 
 its beginning in 1891, for which office 
 her fine presence and recognized ad- 
 ministrative qualities eminently fit 
 her. 
 
 She is zealously devoted to the aims 
 of the organization, in the furtherance 
 of which she has been liberally aided 
 by her husband. In 1894 Mrs. Sage 
 was chosen by the Board. of Trustees 
 of the Emma Willard School (suc- 
 cessor to Troy Seminary) to act with 
 them.

 the honor of being the first to serve in 
 that capacity with the honorable body. 
 To her zealous efforts in behalf of the 
 future of this historic school perpetuat- 
 ing the name and fame of Mrs. Emma 
 Willard, and to the cordial sympathy 
 and cooperation of her husband, in her 
 far-reaching plans, we owe the revival 
 of interest in this famous institution, 
 and the new departure that has for its 
 object the fullest equipment for the 
 high and liberal education of women. 
 
 On the occasion of the first com- 
 mencement exercises of the Emma 
 Willard School, in 1897, Mrs. Sage was

 ment. She is a fine conversationalist,

 of Maj. B. F. Reed, of West Point, Ga. 
 Mrs. Reed has been the mother of 
 twelve children — six by her first mar- 
 riage, of whom four are now living. 
 Of six born of her second marriage 
 but two survive. With fine intellectual 
 endowments united to a delicate and 
 discriminating taste, Mrs. Reed has 
 achieved for herself a recognized place 
 in the literary field. Indeed, her career 
 in spite of vicissitudes may be charac- 
 terized as successful and brilliant. She 
 has recently published a novel entitled 
 " Vesta, or The Hidden Cross." 
 
 The chances of war, which depleted 
 her inherited fortune, developed an 
 energetic womanhood that bravely met 
 the exigencies of the trying times fol- 
 lowing the sixties. 
 
 During her widowhood, and at the 
 time of her marriage to Maj. Reed, she 
 filled the chair of Vice-Principal of a 
 Southern Female College, in which 
 she was also a successful music teacher. 
 Of her appreciation of the moulding 
 influence of Troy Seminary upon her 
 own and other lives, the subjoined ex- 
 tract bears grateful testimony : 
 
 " I commend all efforts to perpetuate 
 the fame of Mrs. Emma Willard . . . 
 
 " As I write of her tears fill my eyes, 
 for, indeed, she was the grandest woman 
 that America has ever produced, and 
 ever inspired in her pupils a love even 
 to idolatry." 
 
 Owing to the failing health of her 
 husband, Mrs. Reed is now living in 
 comparative retirement, in which, how- 
 ever, her versatile nature finds ample 
 resources for enjoyment. She loves 
 nature, and says : " Life here is ex- 
 hilerating, and I am strongly tempted 
 26 
 
 to remain permanently among the 
 rocks, the waters, and the wild flowers."

 Barnett, Xarifa H., 
 
 Third daughter of Hon. James and

 After the death of her mother, her 
 father married Miss Ellen King, (Class

 Surrounded by congenial friends and 
 neighbors in Oneida, Mrs. Ayers lives 
 a happy and useful life, devoting her- 
 self unselfishly and cheerily to her fam- 
 ily, her church, (Presbyterian,) and her 
 associates. 
 
 Address, in 1895, Mrs. Joseph C. 
 Ayers, Oneida, Madison Co., N. Y. 
 
 Barnett, Ellen S., 
 
 Daughter of Hon. James and Ellen 
 (King) Barnett, (Class 1846,) was born 
 in Peterboro, N. Y. 
 
 Before entering Troy Seminary she 
 received a thorough preparation in 
 English, Latin and Mathematics, first 
 from her gifted mother, and later in 
 the Evans Academy at Peterboro, and 
 the Seminary at Oneida, N. Y., to which 
 place her parents removed in 1 867. 
 
 The fact that her mother and three 
 elder sisters had been educated in Troy 
 Seminary, and that she was a niece of 
 Miss Caroline F. King, who for twenty- 
 six years was a valued teacher in the 
 institution, made "going to Troy" one 
 of the dreams of her childhood. This 
 was realized when she entered the 
 Seminary in the fall of 1871. She was 
 the sixth member of her family to oc- 
 cupy Room 73 on the Fourth Hall, and 
 remained until the retirement of Mr. 
 and Mrs. John Willard, in 1872. 
 
 After leaving school Miss Barnett 
 taught successfully in Young Ladies' 
 Seminaries at Tarrytown and Roches- 
 ter, N. Y. Later she taught for sev- 
 eral years in the High School at Bay 
 City, Mich., where she was eminently 
 successful as teacher of Latin and other 
 branches. 
 
 In 1880 she went to Washington, 
 D. C, to be in the family of her sister, 
 Mrs. Caroline (Barnett) Taylor, (Class 
 1870,) and soon entered Government 
 employ in the Pension Bureau. 
 
 Notwithstanding the pressure of her 
 regular duties. Miss Barnett still finds 
 some time for literary work. A poem, 
 written by her for the occasion, was 
 read at the dinner of the Emma Wil- 
 ard Association in New York city, in 
 1891. 
 
 Miss Barnett is deeply interested in 
 religious and charitable enterprises, as 
 well as the work of her own church, 
 the First Presbyterian, many of whose 
 young people she numbers as her most 
 devoted friends. Indeed, sympathy 
 with young people and the gift of un- 
 derstanding them are marked traits of 
 her character. Too much occupied 
 with ministering to others to think of 
 self, she makes sunshine for all whose 
 lives touch hers.

 cheerful, and to believe in good and 
 not evil, and the very attempt gives 
 me much peace."

 She studied under governesses, and

 Seminary with her younger sister, 
 Mary, in 1852. 
 
 In 1857 she married Charles T. Pur- 
 nell, a native of Maryland, and a grad- 
 uate of Yale. Two sons were born of 
 this union : Charles, who died in child- 
 hood, and Burton Purnell, who fell a 
 victim to yellow fever in 1878, at the 
 age of twenty-one. The shock of this 
 bereavement following close upon other 
 sorrows caused the mental derange- 
 ment of Mrs. Purnell, which culmi- 
 nated in her tragic death in Atlantic 
 city in 1891. 
 
 The father of Mrs. Purnell was three 
 times married. Mrs. Purnell and Mrs. 
 Hughes (Clara and Mary Bertron,) were 
 the only children of his first marriage.

 parents, by whom she was tenderly 
 cared for, having lost her mother when 
 two years old. An only sister, Clara, 
 
 two years her senior, shared her home 
 on the plantation. 
 
 Both were instructed by governesses 
 and were for a time in school in Nat- 
 chez and Port Gibson before going to 
 Troy Seminary for the school year end- 
 ing in 1852. 
 
 In 1856 Mary Bertron became the wife 
 of William Hughes, a Mississippi plan- 
 ter, and for a period of years was en- 
 grossed with the duties and interests 
 incident to Southern life before the 
 war. 
 
 Nine children were born, of whom 
 six are now living: one son, W. Y. 
 Hughes, and five daughters. The eld- 
 est daughter, Mrs. Mamie Daniell, died 
 some years since, leaving an infant 
 daughter who was adopted by the grand- 
 parents, and given the name of Mary. 
 
 The maternal ancestors of Mrs. 
 Hughes emigrated from Halifax, and 
 became pioneer settlers in Claiborne 
 Co., Miss. Greenwood plantation, the 
 family seat, is only five miles distant 
 from Bruinsburg, made historic by the 
 landing of Gen. Grant's army, in 1863, 
 on his strategic approach to Vicksburg. 
 This property has descended to Mrs. 
 Hughes, and here she has passed the 
 greater part of a life which has not 
 been without its vicissitudes. 
 
 For two years after leaving school 
 she, with her sister Clara, enjoyed 
 with enthusiasm the social attractions 
 of Port Gibson, finding always during 
 a portion of the year a restful retreat 
 from its excitements in their beloved 
 Greenwood. 
 
 The first year after marriage was 
 spent in Port Gibson, but since 1857 
 Greenwood has been her abiding-place. 
 The devastations of the war left their 
 mark upon the home of her happy 
 youth.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 In politics her family were conserva- 
 tive and opposed Secession, but when 
 at length war was declared, they cast 
 in their lot with those who buckled on 
 the sword in defense of Southern 
 homes. In 1863 her husband joined 
 the Southern cavalry. The Federal 
 Army established a camp within a 
 mile of Greenwood, where the women 
 and children, left to the mercy of a 
 straggling soldiery, were subjected to 
 privations and hardships that inevi- 
 tably follow in the track of war. The 
 property has never recovered from 
 the effects of that desolating time, 
 and it has been the work of years to 
 rebuild even what was ruthlessly de- 
 stroyed. 
 
 The Rev. Samuel Bertron, who was 
 thrice married, died in 1878, when 
 Greenwood was invaded by the yellow 
 fever, which numbered among its vic- 
 tims in one day the father and nephew 
 of Mrs. Hughes.

 PEARL OF DAY. 
 
 MRS. MERRILL E. GATES. 
 
 " And in the garden a new sepulchre." John 
 19:41. 
 
 How can we ever mar 
 With earthly fret and jar 
 Our Sabbath days, when we remember what they 
 are — 
 God's days in mercy given, 
 A foretaste pure of heaven. 
 Of all the busy seven the Pearl and Morning Star ? 
 
 Let us for ever cease 
 To spoil their heavenly peace. 
 Let resurrection light through all their hours in- 
 crease. 
 Let light from Jesus's tomb 
 Our holy day illume ; 
 Rise we with Him from gloom and find a sweet 
 release. 
 
 Death could not hold Him prone. 
 From his cold couch of stone 
 The Victor rose, whose might life, death and hell 
 should own. 
 There, in a garden bright 
 He stood, the world's true Light. 
 Earth rolled with deepest night and with new glory 
 shone. 
 
 Sweet with all scents of balm, 
 
 Shaded with trees of palm, 
 The dewy garden lay in holy hush and calm. 
 
 Far streamed the golden ray, 
 
 Clear dawned the first Lord's day ; 
 Owning her Master's sway, earth lifts a choral 
 psalm. 
 
 For us each Lord's day fair 
 
 May rise with dawn as rare, 
 And find us in a garden, sweet with early prayer. 
 
 The risen One is near, 
 
 Faith's loving eyes will clear, 
 " Mary !" " My Master !" Hear ! Peace fills the 
 Sabbath air.

 Bliven, Mary A., 
 
 Daughter of John M. and Mary 
 (Heath) Bliven, was born November 
 27, 1832, in Galesville (now Middle 
 Falls), Washington Co., N. Y. She 
 entered Troy Seminary in 1852, as a 
 day scholar, living with her sister, 
 Mrs. Ingraham, of Troy, and she left 
 in 1854. 
 
 Soon after she devoted herself to the 
 profession of an artist, to which purpose 
 she made all other aims subservient. 
 She spent two or three years in the 
 studio of Mr. Hicks in New York, and 
 later, through indomitable efifort, reach- 
 ed Paris, the goal of her hopes. She 
 was accompanied to France by her 
 friend. Miss Lillie Burleigh, of Brook- 
 lyn, in 1867. 
 
 The following sketch of Miss Bliven's 
 brief career is furnished us by Mrs. 
 Caroline Stickney Powers, who writes : 
 
 " My acquaintance with Mary Bliven 
 was very slight until I met her in Paris. 
 I was there as a student of the French 
 language and literature, under Madame 
 
 Bachlery in Passy, and Miss Bliven 
 with a friend from New York was in 
 apartments near, where she had a studio. 
 She was then ill, her health having 
 failed soon after her arrival in Paris, 
 and she was never able to do any work 
 there as an artist. None who saw her 
 daily supposed her condition critical, 
 and her death came as a great shock to 
 all who loved her. 
 
 " Brief as my acquaintance with her 
 was, it had inspired me with a great ad- 
 miration and sincere affection for her. 
 Her character was wholly free from 
 pettiness or selfishness, and her mode 
 of thought was broad and genial. 
 
 " She was absolutely truthful, simple 
 and direct in speech and action ; in 
 fact, she possessed exactly those traits 
 which the world up to our time has 
 agreed to call manly, but which perhaps 
 are, for that very reason, essential to 
 what is truly womanly. 
 
 " Her little affectations of mannish- 
 ness, her slight excentricities, were but 
 the transient overflow of a highly origi- 
 nal nature abounding in humor. Below 
 and above them all was a just sense of 
 proportion, a serious purpose, and a 
 warm heart. 
 
 " She was a delightful companion, 
 and her wit, dry and unpremeditated, 
 never failed her to the last. It lit up 
 those days of failing hope and ebbing 
 life, and hid from us all the nearness 
 of her end. As for her art, I have al- 
 ways regarded her as a great artist in 
 embryo, but not in the direction she 
 herself had chosen. Most of her pre- 
 vious work had been portraits and fig- 
 ures, with an aim towards historical and 
 imaginative work. 
 
 " With that view she had intended 
 to enter the studio of Couture as soon 
 as she was able to study. I never saw 
 
442 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 a portrait of hers which was really suc- 
 cessful, or which gave promise of a 
 master. 
 
 " On the other hand, whoever had 
 seen her picture of "My Dog Rake," 
 had noticed the marvellous keenness of 
 her observation of the Paris omnibus 
 horses as she went to and fro, her al- 
 most affectionate comradship with them 
 and all other animals, and the free and 
 powerful touch which her pencil as- 
 sumed when depicting animal life in 
 any of its forms, would have thought 
 that nature had plainly indicated where 
 her strength lay. 
 
 "When she landed in France, had 
 she taken the road to Fontainebleau 
 instead of to Paris, seeking admission 
 to the studio of Rosa Bonheur, (whom 
 in appearance she greatly resembled,) I 
 cannot help thinking that she might 
 now be living as one of the greatest 
 animal painters of America." 
 
 She died in Paris on the 8th of De- 
 cember, 1867, and was buried in Wood- 
 lands Cemetery in Cambridge, N. Y., 
 among her kindred.

 Chambers, Josephine, 
 
 Daughter of George and Sarah C. 
 (Sahler) Chambers, was born in Stone 
 Ridge, N. Y., a village near the old 
 colonial city of Kingston. 
 
 From early girlhood study was for 
 her an earnest pursuit and absorbing 
 pleasure. She graduated from Troy 
 Seminary in 1858, being chosen as the 
 valedictorian of her class of nineteen. 
 After leaving school her habit and love 
 of study continued. 
 
 In 1862 she married, at her home in 
 Kingston, N. Y., Hiram Schoonmaker, 
 a merchant of New York city. A 
 daughter, Leslie J. Schoonmaker, was 
 born of this marriage. 
 
 The unobtrusive duties of home, 
 with the education of her daughter, 
 chiefly engage Mrs. Schoonmaker's at- 
 tention, though she finds some time for 
 private literary circles, for which her 
 acquirements eminently fit her. 
 
 She is a member of the Reformed 
 Dutch Church. Her philanthropic work 
 has thus far been in the interests of 
 the Women's Missionary Society, the 
 Kingston Hospital Association, and the 
 College Settlement of New York. She 
 is one of the Directors of the Emma 
 Willard Association.

 Champion, Angeline, 
 
 Daughter of Reuben and Betsey R. 
 (Waite) Champion, was born in Lynn, 
 Conn, and entered Troy Seminary in 
 1858 for one year. A member of First 
 Congregational Church in Old Lynn, 
 Conn. 
 
 Chandler, Louise, 
 
 Daughter of Lucius L. and Louisa 
 R. (Clark) Chandler, was born in Pom- 
 fret, Conn. 
 
 The town was founded in old colo- 
 nial days by ten English gentlemen, 
 from one of whom her family was im- 
 mediately descended. 
 
 Her early education was largely ac- 
 quired in a school taught by Rev. Ros- 
 well Park, rector of the Episcopal 
 Church of Pomfret. With rare intel- 
 lectual inheritance and encompassed 
 by wholesome infiuences, she devel- 
 oped, even in childhood, a literary ap- 
 petite that gave promise of future 
 achievement in the world of letters. 
 
 Her home was in a region noted for 
 its beautiful scenery, and she was bles- 
 sed with a temperament keenly sensi- 
 tive to its inspiration. So it was that 
 in her New England environment of 
 simple aims and somewhat Puritanic 
 regulations, she grew as the trees grow 
 in their sweet country stillness, finding 
 companionship in her own thoughts 
 and imaginings. 
 
 " I began to write as long ago as I 
 can remember," she once said, and it 
 is true that at fifteen her stories and 
 her verses began to receive public no- 
 tice and favor. Her first book was pub- 
 lished when she was but eighteen. Its 
 contents had already appeared, during 
 the previous three years, in newspapers 
 and magazines. At this period in her 
 career she entered Troy Seminary for 
 1854 and 1855. 
 
 Six weeks after leaving school she 
 married William U. Moulton, a Boston 
 publisher. From that time Boston has 
 been her place of residence, although 
 
452 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 for the past twenty years she has 
 spent a portion of every year in Lon- 
 don, where her literary associations 
 and friendships are as numerous and 
 cordial as at home. 
 
 The career of Mrs. Moulton since her 
 marriage has been one of rich and 
 rapid fulfillment. 
 
 Her first publishers, Phillips, Samp- 
 son & Co., of Boston, announced their 
 early venture in her behalf with the 
 inscription upon their posters, " Read 
 this, and see what a girl of eighteen 
 can do." Now the name of the well- 
 known author, " Louise Chandler Moul- 
 ton " is a household word, and its own 
 guarantee of success to both writer 
 and publisher. 
 
 In 1876 she first visited London, 
 where she immediately met with a 
 cordial reception. She had letters of 
 introduction to Lord Houghton, Jean 
 Ingelow, Christina Rossetti, and many 
 others, and through the lavish hos- 
 pitality shown her by the recipients 
 of these introductions she speedily 
 made the acquaintance of Robert 
 Browning, Swinburne, Theodore Watts, 
 George Eliot, and many other men and 
 women of distinction. 
 
 Among her warmest friends were 
 Dr. Westland Marston, the dramatist, 
 and his children ; especially the blind 
 poet, Philip Bourke Marston. Her ac- 
 quaintance with literary London in- 
 creases constantly, and includes most 
 of the London authors who have been 
 winning their laurels during the recent 
 years. 
 
 Mrs. Moulton has an audience on 
 both sides of the Atlantic, and her 
 English reviewers have been even 
 more eulogistic than her American 
 critics. "The Fortnightly Review," 
 " London Quarterly," "Athenaeum," 
 
 " Academy," " Literary World," and 
 various other periodicals have devoted 
 special articles to her work ; and her 
 portrait has been produced by '■ The 
 Sketch," "The Album," and several 
 other English " picture papers." 
 
 Her sonnets have received cordial 
 recognition ; and one of them, " Help 
 Thou My Unbelief," has been often 
 quoted, as among the notable religious 
 poems of the century. Rev. Dr. Mo- 
 merie, wrote of it : 
 
 " It is finer than ' Lead, Kindly Light ' 
 There are only a half dozen great 
 hymns, and this is one of them." 
 
 HELP THOU MY UNBELIEF. 
 
 Because I seek thee not, Oh seek Thou me ! 
 
 Because my lips are dumb, oh, hear the cry 
 
 I do not utter as Thou passest by. 
 And from my life-long bondage set me free ! 
 Because content I perish, far from Thee, 
 
 Oh, seize me, snatch me from my fate, and try 
 
 My soul in thy consuming fire ! Draw nigh 
 And let me, blinded. Thy salvation see. 
 
 If I were pouring at Thy feet my tears. 
 If I were clamoring to see Thy face, 
 I should not need Thee, Lord, as now I need, 
 
 Whose dumb, dead soul knows neither hope nor 
 fear. 
 Nor dreads the outer darkness of this place. 
 Because I seek not, pray not, give Thou heed ! 
 
 LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON. 
 " In the Garden of Dreams." 
 
 Mrs. Moulton's first volume of poems 
 was published, by Roberts Brothers, 
 Boston, in 1877, '^^ith the title of " Po- 
 ems, by L. C. M ;" and at the same 
 time by MacMillan & Co., London, with 
 the title of " Swallow Flights." 
 
 In 1889 her second volume of verse 
 entitled, " In The Garden of Dreams," 
 was published simultaneously by Rob- 
 erts Brother, Boston, and MacMillan & 
 Co., London, meeting with more dis- 
 tinguished success than its predecessor.

 In 1892 Roberts Brothers published 
 a new edition of Mrs. Moulton's first 
 volume of verse, with ten additional 
 poems, this time with the title " Swal- 
 low Flights," as it had been called in 
 England from the first. At present 
 she has nearly ready a third volume 
 of poems, from which we will quote a 
 sonnet which appeared in " The At- 
 lantic," and was very widely praised 
 and copied : 
 
 LAND OF MY DREAMS. 
 
 spacious splendid Land that no man knows, 
 Whose mystery as the tideless sea is deep, 
 Whose beauty haunts me in the Courts of Sleep ! 
 
 What whispering wind from thy hid garden blows 
 
 Sweet with the breath of Love's celestial rose ? 
 
 What fields hast thou that mortal may not reap— 
 
 What soft enchantment do those meadows keep 
 
 Through which life's bright, unf athomed river flows? 
 
 1 can resist thy charm when Noon is high ; 
 
 Mine ears are deafened while Earth's clamors 
 
 rave ; 
 But now the sun has set, the winds are low, 
 And Night with her proud Company draws nigh — 
 Thy spell prevails, thy mystic joys I crave, 
 Land of my Dreams, I will arise and go ! 
 
 Though Mrs. Moulton has perhaps 
 attained more distinction by her poems 
 than by her prose, she has written 
 much more prose than poetry, as will 
 be seen by the following title of her 
 books : 
 
 " This, That and the Other," Sketch- 
 es, etc. 
 
 " James Clifford," (a novel published 
 anonymously, when the author was 
 twenty.) 
 
 " My Third Book," stories for adult 
 readers. 
 
 Five volumes of juvenile stories, 
 entitled : 
 
 " Bed-Time Stories." 
 
 " More Bed-Time Stories." 
 
 " New Bed-Time Stories." 
 
 " Firelight Stories." 
 
 "Stories Told at Twilight." 
 
 "Random Rambles," a volume of 
 sketches of Foreign Travel. 
 
 " Some Women's Hearts.' 
 
 Also grown-up stories, as 
 
 " Miss Eyre from Boston, and Other 
 Stories." 
 
 Also for grown-up readers : 
 
 " Ourselves and Our Neighbors," 
 brief Essays on Social Topics. 
 
 " Swallow Flights," and 
 
 " In the Garden of Dreams," poems. 
 
 Of these fourteen volumes, all save 
 the first three were published by Messrs. 
 Roberts Brothers, Boston. Another 
 volume of travel papers, entitled " Lazy 
 Tours in Spain and Elsewhere," is al- 
 ready in type. So is a volume of poems 
 for children, to be called "In Child- 
 hood's Country." 
 
 Besides these books of her own, Mrs. 
 Moulton has edited, and prefaced with 
 biographical sketches, three volumes 
 of poems, of Philip Bourke Marston, 
 one of them a collected edition of all 
 his poems, and a book of selections 
 from the " Poems of Arthur O'Shaugh- 
 nessy." 
 
 She has also written stories enough, 
 not yet collected, to make several 
 more volumes. These, as well as her 
 poems, have appeared in the best mag- 
 azines. 
 
 She has won much distinction as a 
 critic. For six years, from 1869 to 
 1876, she was the Boston Literary Cor- 
 respondent of the " New York Tri- 
 bune," over the signature of " L. C. 
 M." and she wrote weekly, from 1887 
 to 1892, a Literary Critical letter for 
 the " Boston Sunday Herald." Add 
 to this literary work a private corre- 
 spondence with friends in many lands 
 and one sees that Mrs. Moulton is a 
 busy woman.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 The social side of her life is interest- 
 ing. Her home in Rutland Square, Bos- 
 ton, to which she is attached through 
 long association, is a Mecca for many 
 literary men and women, and during 
 the winter her drawing-room is one of 
 the meeting-places of Boston's culti- 
 vated society. She has been honored 
 with the friendship of Longfellow, and 
 Whittier, and Holmes ; and in the gal- 
 axy of gifted women for which Bos- 
 ton is famous, she holds prominent 
 place. 
 
 In the London season her receptions 
 in that city are thronged by celebrities 
 both of England and America, while 
 in many a stately home of England 
 she is herself a welcome and honored 
 guest. 
 
 There is noticeably in Mrs. Moulton 
 that quality of human sympathy which 
 " makes the whole world kin." Grate- 
 ful messages often come to her from 
 remote places, into which the music 
 of her uplifting songs has penetrated, 
 gladdening the seclusion of some lone- 
 ly life, or carrying courage to some 
 invalid. 
 
 All over the English-speaking world 
 may be found the friends and ad- 
 mirers of this American poet, whose 
 biography has its appropriate place 
 among the records of the pupils of Troy 
 Seminary. 
 
 Mrs. Moulton's only daughter, Mrs. 
 Wm. H. Schaefer, resides in Charles- 
 ton, S. C, and Mrs. Moulton is there- 
 fore a frequent visitor to the South, 
 as well as to England ; but her per- 
 manent residence, her home of over 
 thirty years, is 28 Rutland Square, 
 Boston, Mass. 
 
 Chapio, Sarah Earl, 
 
 Daughter of Harlon and Hannah 
 (Earl) Chapin, was born in Marietta, 
 
 Ohio. She entered Troy Seminary 
 from Marietta in 1854, and prepared

 but by special permission withdrew 
 from the class before the close of 
 the session, to devote herself to art 
 work. 
 
 In 1857 she married Charles B. Col- 
 lier. Two sons and one daughter were 
 born of this marriage. Both sons are 
 married, the one living in New York, 
 the other in Philadelphia. The daugh- 
 ter spent two years in Paris as an 
 Art student, and later was in Philadel- 
 phia. 
 
 Referring to her days at Troy, Mrs. 
 Collier says : 
 
 " As I write, a panorama is passing 
 before me. First is the lovely placid 
 face of Mrs. Sarah Willard, followed 
 by her sister, Miss Theodosia Hud- 
 son, to whom I was almost romantical- 
 ly attached, and whom I still love to 
 meet in my dreaming hours. Madam 
 Emma Willard was well advanced in 
 years, and it was only on rare occa- 
 sions that we were favored with her 
 stately presence ; but I recall her won- 
 derful recital of her own beautiful 
 poem, ' Rocked in the Cradle of the 
 Deep.' "

 Daughter of William C. Fox, M. D., 
 and Sophronia (Sparhawk) Fox, was 
 born in Wallingford, Vt., a quiet little 
 manufacturing village nestling among 
 the Green Mountains of Vermont. 
 
 Left motherless when only two 
 months old, she with her father was 
 received into the home of the grand- 
 parents, under whose training she grew 
 to womanhood. 
 
 At thirteen she was sent to Burling- 
 ton, Vt., to school, where she remained 
 two years.

 French, Sarah Bradley, 
 
 Daughter of the Rev. John Wil- 
 liam French, D. D. and Clara (Miller) 
 French, was born in Portland, Me. 
 
 Through her earliest associations she 
 
 was identified with military life. Her 
 father was a chaplain at West Point 
 during her girlhood, and her earlier 
 school days were passed in Washing- 
 ton, D. C. 
 
 In 1850 she entered Troy Seminary, 
 graduating in 1854. In 1858 she mar- 
 ried Lieut. John Y. Greble, Assistant 
 Professor of Ethics, etc., at West Point, 
 U. S. M. A. The three years which 
 followed her marriage were replete 
 with romance, happiness and tragedy, 
 witnessing her betrothal, happy wife- 
 hood, motherhood, and early widow- 
 hood. Her husband was the first offi- 
 cer of the Regular Army to be killed 
 in the late Civil War, (Big Bethel, 1861,) 
 following which sad event Mrs. Greble 
 made her home in Philadelphia, in the 
 household of Mr. Edward Greble, the 
 father of Lieut. Greble. 
 
 Some lives grow fuller and more 
 fruitful through their own losses and 
 griefs. Mrs. Greble early identified 
 herself with Philadelphia charities. 
 Naturally the war and the soldiers 
 claimed her first and deepest sympa- 
 thies, but the church of the Holy Trin- 
 ity found in her an energetic and zeal- 
 ous worker. These two channels after- 
 wards broadened into so many streams 
 that there was scarcely a philanthropy 
 in Philadelphia that did not seek her co- 
 operation and influence. The Soldier's 
 Home, the Lincoln Institute, the Sun- 
 day-schools of Trinity, all engaged her 
 efficient attention. She was an active 
 Manager of the Woman's Hospital, and 
 an untiring Director of its Training 
 School for Nurses. Her hospital ex- 
 perience notably exemplified her gen- 
 erous and self-forgetting nature. Bril- 
 liant in temperament, with a smile that 
 carried sunshine wherever it fell, she 
 was ready to pour out at the feet of the

 poorest and most friendless creatures 
 the incense of her sympathy, and illu- 
 mine with her radiant loveliness the 
 almshouse ward of the dying. 
 
 These out-reaching duties in no de- 
 gree diverted her from her domestic 
 responsibilities in the household of 
 which she was the head. Her death 
 occurred in 1880, in New Haven, Conn. 
 Two children survive her : Lieut. Ed- 
 win St. John Greble, U. S. A., and Mrs. 
 Clara French Griffith, wife of the Rev. 
 Charles C. Griffith. Mrs. Greble never 
 laid aside her simple mourning dress 
 during her nineteen years of widow- 
 hood, and in the gracious ministry of 
 her beautiful life she was like a sister 
 of charity. 
 
 It was tenderly said of her after her 
 death, that " the balance between do- 
 mestic duties and the world's absorbing 
 work was so beautifully held by her 
 untiring hands, that no better type 
 could be found of a woman entirely 
 American." 
 
 French, Emily Elizabeth, 
 
 Daughter of Cyrus W. and Julia 
 (Thorp) French, was born in Bridge-

 music. 
 
 Her home was in West Stockbridge, 
 Mass., when she entered Troy Semi- 
 nary for the school year ending 1858. 
 She labored under the disadvantage of 
 partial deafness, by which her inter- 
 ests and pursuits were in a measure re- 
 stricted.

 which marriage there are three chil- 
 dren.

 where she continued till 1856. Subse- 
 quently taught in New York and Mis- 
 souri. She was in Missouri at the break- 
 ing out of the Rebellion. 
 
 Later, the filial duty of caring for 
 the declining and feeble years of her 
 parents engrossed her, until their 
 death, since which event an invalid sis- 
 ter has claimed her time and thoughts. 
 Thus, in loving ministry to others she 
 has learned the " secret of self-sacrifice."

 Qalusha, Adelaide J., 
 
 Daughter of Elijah and Charlotte 
 M. (Howlett) Galusha, born in Troy,

 ing in a quiet way, but one that has 
 brought commendation from Bishops, 
 Priests, and laity from all parts of the 
 country. 
 
 Reviewing her life at Troy Sem- 
 inary, Mrs. Weeks writes : 
 
 " I was for several months a boarder 
 in the Seminary, and the fortunate 
 room-mate of Sallie B. French, whose 
 loveliness of character has been one of 
 the treasures of memory. . . I do not 
 think Mrs. Willard was ever more 
 sincerely admired by any pupil, and 
 as years have passed my apprecia- 
 tion and gratitude have increased. I 
 remember her cordial interest in my 
 happiness. To Miss Hudson, Vice- 
 Principal, I was devotedly attached, 
 and while I remained in the Seminary 
 I was a frequent visitor to her sunny 
 room. 
 
 " Miss Hastings was my favorite 
 teacher, and I only regret that my 
 daughter could not have studied under 
 her."

 Garrett, Mary A., 
 
 Daughter of Clifton and Mary Ann

 Troy Seminary in 1857. 
 
 Previous to her entrance to the Sem- 
 inary she was a pupil in the High 
 School of fronton, O., and afterwards 
 of the Wesleyan Seminary in Cincin- 
 nati, in both of which schools her schol- 
 arship was of a high order. She was 
 ambitious to complete the full course 
 of study in the Troy Seminary, but her 
 grandfather's failing health necessita- 
 ted her remaining at home. She mar- 
 ried, in 1867, S. J. Henderson, barrister, 
 of Cattlesburg, Ky. The children of 
 this marriage are Keokee Monroe, and 
 Garrett Spangler Henderson. 
 
 Mrs. Henderson lived after marriage

 before her husband's death, which oc- 
 curred in 1873. Under this sorrow her 
 own health failed, and she followed her 
 husband in 1874, dying in Talladega, 
 Ala., of consumption. 
 
 Mrs. Henderson was a versatile wri- 
 ter, and left at her death an accumula- 
 tion of MSS. of stories and verses ; but 
 her request that they be destroyed im- 
 mediately after her death precluded 
 their publicity. 
 
 Her facility of language and her 
 clear and forcible English were notable

 Glines, Welthea M., 
 
 Daughter of the Rev. Jeremiah and 
 Wealthea (Wood) Glines, was born in 
 Lunenburg, Vt., in a small brown par- 
 sonage that stood on the southward 
 slope of that picturesque hill -town, 
 looking down into the Connecticut 
 Valley. 
 
 Her father was a Congregational 
 clergyman of broad and liberal thought. 
 Her mother combined with scholarly 
 tastes and superior education, the attri- 
 butes of a remarkable Christian char- 
 acter. 
 
 Until the age of sixteen the daugh- 
 ter's opportunities had been restricted 
 to the district school, supplemented by 
 the teachings of her mother, but with 
 an intellectual inheritance worthy of 
 her parents, she desired still further 
 advancement. How should the exi- 
 gency be met ? The salary of a country 
 minister made no provision for higher

 education or for sending the daughter 
 to a boarding-school. 
 
 It was the era of the " Lowell Offer- 
 ing," a magazine of some literary merit, 
 consisting of articles written by the 
 factory girls, and which were generally 
 accepted as the exponent of the mental 
 activity of the class employed in the 
 mills of Lowell. Incited by this ex- 
 ample, Miss Glines bravely resolved to 
 join this band of self-sustaining young 
 women, and in 1845 full of courage and 
 ambition, she began the undertaking 
 of working out her own education. 
 
 She was fortunate in securing an ex- 
 ceptionally good place in the carpet 
 mill of the Lowell Company, working 
 from five to eight in the morning, and 
 from five to seven in the evening. 
 With these hours, and by taking no 
 holidays, she was able for more than a 
 year to attend school, in which she 
 read Virgil and Corinne in the original, 
 and pursued other branches of study. 
 
 Later, the carpet manufactory was 
 enlarged and her leisure was abridged. 
 Still there remained much in the way 
 of opportunity of which the ambitious 
 student could avail herself — private 
 lessons, books from the Public Library, 
 weekly reading of N. P. Willis's 
 " Home Journal," and " Littell's Living 
 Age," attendance upon lecture courses, 
 in which she heard Charles Sumner, 
 Rufus Choate. Horace Greeley, Edwin 
 Chapin, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and 
 other eloquent speakers. 
 
 Of the high order of " Mind among 
 Spindles," predicated upon the "Lowell 
 Offering," Miss Glines is not enthusi- 
 astic. 
 
 During the seven years of her Lowell 
 life she found the mill operatives as a 
 class respected, self-respecting young 
 women, differing greatly in character 
 
 and education, for the most part intel- 
 ligent and capable, but seldom posses- 
 sing literary taste or culture. 
 
 There were in her time a few notable 
 exceptions of aspiring young woman, 
 who went from Lowell to teach, or to 
 make themselves proficient in art, or 
 to marry, and some whom fortune 
 raised to positions of social promi- 
 nence, but the factory-girls, of whom 
 Lucy Larcom gives such charming 
 glimpses in a " New England Girl," 
 must nearly all have sought a more 
 congenial life previous to 1846, the date 
 of Miss Larcom's leaving the city. 
 
 In 1852 Miss Glines, under the ad- 
 vice of Richard C. Kimball, her moth- 
 er's cousin, entered Troy Seminary. 
 Here the majestic presence of Mrs. 
 Emma Willard, as well as the grace and 
 elegance of Mrs. John Willard, com- 
 manded her profound respect and af- 
 fectionate admiration. 
 
 She remained a pupil until 1853, 
 when she was promoted to the corps 
 of teachers, and continued in the happy 
 environment of her Alma Mater until 
 1857, when she became an inmate of 
 her kinsman's, Mr. Kimball's family 
 as teacher of his children. Later she 
 spent two pleasant years abroad, divid- 
 ing the time between travel, and resi- 
 dence in London and Paris. 
 
 After returning to America she went, 
 in 1 86 1, to the frontier of Texas on the 
 upper Brazos, where Mr. Kimball 
 owned a large tract of land, and had 
 already started a village. It was his 
 wish to establish a school that should 
 attract a good class of settlers, and be- 
 come a formative influence throughout 
 that region, and Miss Glines gladly 
 undertook the organization of it as a 
 welcome opportunity of doing mission 
 work in a new country. But scarcely 
 
492 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 had she reached the village of Kimball, 
 when President Lincoln proclaimed 
 the blockade of the Southern coast, and 
 for the next four years the fate of the 
 adventurous missionary or teacher was 
 involved in the conflict. The school 
 would doubtless have proved a success 
 but for the war, but the able-bodied 
 men rushed to the army, leaving only 
 the old men and boys to do their work. 
 Moreover, this remote region was soon 
 stirred by the excitement of Indian 
 raids and of war news, and it became 
 impossible to hold the few children in 
 quiet subjection under the demoral- 
 izing influences, so the enterprise was 
 abandoned. 
 
 During the summer of 1862 Miss 
 Glines was volunteer mail-carrier be- 
 tween Kimball and Fort Graham, rid- 
 ing eight miles on her Mexican pony, 
 and fording the Brazos river three 
 times each way. It was a rough life, 
 hard in experience, but picturesque in 
 reminiscence. 
 
 In the autumn of the same year she 
 left Kimball for New Bramfels, where, 
 in the midst of a German population 
 in West Texas, she taught for seven 
 years family schools, and where she 
 found comfort and culture, and a 
 charming though varied life. Here 
 were gathered representatives of al- 
 most all classes of German society — 
 Barons, Counts, retired army officers, 
 political refugees, professional men, 
 with the peasantry of their fatherland. 
 In truth, the social atmosphere of this 
 locality was heavy with romance. 
 
 Returning North in 1 869 Miss Glines 
 taught for two years in Lasell Semi- 
 nary of Auburndale, Mass., but in 1873 
 was compelled through failing health 
 to resign her position. 
 
 She again sought rest and recuper- 
 
 ation in travel, spending one year in 
 Germany, and afterwards revisiting 
 Texas. 
 
 Ultimately she returned to St. Johns- 
 bury, Vt., the place which Hepworth 
 Dixon styled the model village of New 
 England. Here she- hopes to spend her 
 remaining days. 
 
 Address, in 1895, Miss Welthea M. 
 Glines, St. Johnsbury, Vt. 
 
 Glines, Annie W., 
 
 Daughter of the Rev. Jeremiah and 
 Wealthea (Wood) Glines, was born in 
 Lunenburg, Vt. From her father she 
 inherited a talent for music, which to 
 a considerable degree has shaped her 
 life. Some years of her girlhood were 
 spent in school in St. Johnsbury, Vt., 
 whence she went in 1858 to Troy Fe- 
 male Seminary. 
 
 In the same year she married Chan- 
 dler Porter, of St. Johnsbury, who died 
 in 1873. 
 
 Soon after her husband's decease she 
 removed to Boston that she might de- 
 vote herself to the cultivation of her 
 voice, for which her opportunities had 
 heretofore been limited. She was an 
 enthusiastic and successful student, and 
 in 1 873 was offered the position as con- 
 tralto singer in the so-called New Eng- 
 land Quartette of the New England 
 Church, which she held three years, 
 until the latter organization ceased to 
 exist. The other members of the 
 Quartette were, Mrs. H. M. Smith, My- 
 ron Whitney, and William Fessenden, 
 all well-known professional singers in 
 Boston at the time. 
 
 In 1 88 1 Mrs. Porter entered the New 
 England Conservatory of Music as vo- 
 cal teacher, and for seven years was 
 leading lady of her department. This 
 engagement she closed in 1888 to take

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Goodrich, Ervilla, 
 
 Daughter of Levi Smith Goodrich, 
 M. D., and Laura Eleanor ( Barnes ) 
 Goodrich, was born in Howard, Steu- 
 ben Co., N. Y. Her maternal ances- 
 tor, John Barnes, an Englishman, was 
 a soldier under brave Gen. Wolfe at 
 the capture of Quebec. He married a 
 wife of French descent, and later 
 served in the Revolutionary War for 
 American Independence. On the Good- 
 rich side she is descended from Wil- 
 liam Goodrich, one of the first settlers 
 of Wethersfield, Conn. 
 
 Her education was pursued in Alfred 
 Academy, and Ontario Female Semi- 
 nary, Canandaigua, preparatory to en- 
 tering Troy Seminary, where she com- 
 pleted the course in 1861. 
 
 In 1867 she married Russell M. Tut- 
 tle, editor of the " Hornellsville Times," 
 of Hornellsville, N. Y. 
 
 Inheriting fine literary tastes, she 
 has written freely both in prose and 
 verse, since she was a child, but fol- 
 lowed advice given years ago and 
 locked up what she wrote. More re- 
 cently she has been an occasional con- 
 tributor to newspaper and magazine 
 literature over the pseudonym of 
 " Tredley." 
 
 A paragraph from one of her remin- 
 iscent letters brings out of the past a 
 picture familiar to many a "Troy girl " 
 of the olden time : 
 
 " My first look at the tall, narrow, 
 brown brick building looking solemnly 
 down on Second Street will never be 
 forgotten. It did not look as I thought 
 it would. The park side of the house 
 is shown in the catalogue, and it had 
 not occurred to me that it was not the 
 street entrance. The bright brass plate 
 on the door shining forth the name of 
 
 ' WiLLARD,' was blest assurance to my 
 doubting heart. 
 
 "At the right of the narrow en- 
 trance-hall a small parlor received the 
 new-comer. From this room, through 
 windows shaded by heavy curtains, I 
 looked into the Park, all hung with 
 sparkling jewels from an earlier show- 
 er, and which was an Eden of happi- 
 ness to me for many months after. 
 
 "A beautiful woman came in soon. 
 She moved quietly and gracefully, her 
 voice was kind, her manner gentle. It 
 was Mrs. John H. Willard. From that 
 day until I left school, I loved her. 
 
 " I was passed on into the hands of 
 a tall, white-faced woman whose name 
 was just ' dear Miss Manwaring.' She 
 walked softly and quickly and I fol- 
 lowed her up the first flight of stairs to 
 No. 3. ' For the present this will be 
 your home,' she said, and left me. 
 There was a yellow, rush - bottomed 
 chair by the window. I sat down and 
 looked again into the heart of the 
 trees. ' 
 
 Here is another bit of portraiture 
 which her memory has painted truly. 
 It is the " Wednesday morning lecture " 
 of which she writes : 
 
 " Mrs. Willard is already in her chair 
 on the platform of the lecture-room. 
 How reposeful and unruffled she al- 
 ways seems ! To-day she holds in her 
 hand a pomegranate cut through the 
 heart. Sometimes she reads of Guine- 
 vere and Wiley Vivien. The ' Idyls of 
 the King,' were new then, and when 
 she leaves off reading she slips a pin 
 in the place." 
 
 Oh, where are now the then happy

 of happiness out of life." 
 
 She is zealous in benevolent and 
 church work, is the originator of the 
 "Missionary Tens," a plan for the sys- 
 tematic study of missions. She is a 
 book-lover, and her own graceful 
 verses ring with melody, as witness the 
 following: 
 
 THE GREAT BLUE CANTERBURY BELL. 
 
 As down the garden path we walked, 
 And in the twilight softly talked, 
 Loud rang the Canterbury Bell, 
 " I love you, love you, love you well." 
 
 At hush of day how blest the sound 
 That reached the garden's utmost bound 
 As rang the Caterbury Bell, 
 " I love you, love you, love you well." 
 
 The smaller bells chimed in the praise 
 That surging went through garden ways, 
 And sweet the music rose and fell 
 As light winds swung each blue-domed bell. 
 
 The cry from high muezzin tower 
 That bends the knee, as wind bent flower ; 
 Weaves not in air so potent spell 
 As chime of Canterbury Bell. 
 
 Ring out, fair bell, your call to prayer ; 
 True love is worship everywhere. 
 Ring out the song, blue blessed bell, 
 " I love you, love you, love you well."

 comb Hastings Jones : 
 
 "I first knew her in 1848, and the 
 poet Wordsworth might then have fitly 
 written of her, ' She was a phantom of 
 delight,' so rare were her personal 
 
 gifts. She should be, as she is, a good 
 and gifted woman, for she came of no- 
 ble parents, endowed with fine, nat- 
 tural and still more potent moral traits. 
 
 " I recall her as a scholar in Troy 
 Seminary, how, in the French class, 
 the curious and almost forbidding face 
 of Prof. Luce our teacher, would bright- 
 en with approval as it came her turn 
 to translate Racine, so truly did she 
 apprehend and express the spirit of 
 the author. 
 
 " Later I knew her as a teacher. 
 Her pupils loved her. Her good sense 
 and sympathy made her a ' tower of 
 strength.' And in all the sacred du- 
 ties of domestic life she has been faith- 
 ful and womanly."

 Miss Hinman, in recalling her days 
 at Troy says : 
 
 " 'Uncle Tom's Cabin ' was published 
 about the time I was in the Seminary, 
 and I distinctly remember a great ex- 
 citement over it between the North- 
 erners and the Southerners in the Sem- 
 inary family. 
 
 " Miss Manwaring, Miss King, Miss 
 Faustina Hodges, and the nun-like sis- 
 ters Maverick rise before me. The 
 old French teacher. Prof. Luce, and 
 the younger one. Mile. Decent, pass 
 along, as I try to bring back the old 
 days. Monsieur Philippi, our excellent 
 music teacher, has just come out of the 
 dim recesses of the past, and memory 
 clearly recalls Mrs. John Willard com- 
 ing into the hall, seating herself with 
 great precision, after arranging her 
 train.

 Dodd to her aunt, Mrs. Emma Willard,

 ing teas at her house. The admiration 
 I felt for her personally and as an edu- 
 cator, has steadily increased as I have 
 become more capable of appreciating 
 her greatness." 
 
 Miss Hinman has not in later years 
 established herself in a permanent 
 hotne, but has divided her time be- 
 tween the families of her kinsfolk, 
 sometimes with a brother in Chicago, 
 sometimes with her sister, Mrs. Wilby, 
 of Detroit, Mich., and at others with a 
 brother in Cincinnati.

 ters, all pupils of Troy Seminary, who

 drama." 
 
 While Mrs. Fay was a woman of un- 
 usual talents, and occasionally wrote 
 for publication, she chose rather to de- 
 vote her abilities to her husband's 
 work, and rendered him valuable ser- 
 vice by acquiring a knowledge of the 
 Swedish language, and making needed 
 translations for him in his researches.

 Hodges, Faustina Hasse, 
 
 Daughter of Edward and Margaret 
 (Robertson) Hodges, was born in 
 Malmesbury, Wiltshire, Eng. Her fa- 
 ther was Musical Director of Sydney 
 College, Cambridge, and the daughter, 
 Faustina, was a resident in the Cloister 
 Bristol of her father's house. Her early 
 education was pursued in a private Mo- 
 ravian school in Bristol. After her 
 eighteenth year her home was in New 
 York city, with her father. Inheriting 
 from him the gift of music, she early 
 drifted into the current of events that 
 carried her forward to the fulfilment 
 of her ambition. 
 
 Her connection with Troy Seminary 
 began in 1850, and was one of the 
 happy accidents of her career. It was 
 at an evening entertainment that she 
 attracted the notice of Mrs. Emma 
 Willard by her singing and piano-play- 
 ing. Mrs. Willard said to her, " Such 
 arms as yours should play the harp." 
 To which the young girl replied, "I 
 long to do so, but have not the means 
 for learning." "Come to my Semi- 
 nary," said the kind-hearted woman, 
 whose ready sympathy with young 
 women in their efforts for education 
 was the key-note of her benevolence ! 
 " I see you are master of the piano and 
 singing. Come to my Seminary and 
 you shall have the best instruction on 
 the harp, and an instrument to prac- 
 tice upon, and a salary beside." So 
 she went, giving her attention to that 
 branch of music, at the same time in- 
 
512 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 structing pupils on the piano and sing- 
 ing for three years. 
 
 But the organ was her inheritance, 
 and she left the Seminary to devote 
 herself to the duties of an organist, 
 choir director, and composer of church 
 music, secular as well. From 1853 to 
 1884 she was never without a position 
 as church organist, and never sought 
 one. She has written three volumes 
 of music, songs, pianoforte, and sacred. 
 While organist she turned her atten- 
 tion to children, and was never hap- 
 pier than when teaching them sacred 
 hymns and chants, in which line she 
 was said to be the most successful 
 teacher of her time. As a writer of 
 songs it may be said that " Dreams," 
 composed for her by the late esteemed 
 and lamented Henry C. Lockwood, 
 Esq., of Troy, at once brought her into 
 popularity, and was perhaps the instru- 
 ment of her future success among pub- 
 lishers. Through writing the music for 
 the " Psalm of Life " she was brought 
 into a memorable and gratifying ac- 
 quaintance with the poet, Prof. Henry 
 W. Longfellow- 
 
 Her own study as a pianist, founded 
 as it was on her inherited gift of har- 
 mony, was thorough. She understood 
 her subject, and made her pupils un- 
 derstand it ; as one of them has aptly 
 said, '•' She saw into it and back of it," 
 also in herself disproving the one- 
 sided statement that one who is a pian- 
 ist cannot be an organist. 
 
 Although she studied thoroughly 
 the works of Chopin, Rubenstein, and 
 Wagner, added to the grand old mas- 
 ters, she has of late confined herself to 
 the musician's treasure, the well-tem- 
 pered clavichord of John Seb. Bach, 
 and his forty-eight preludes and fu- 
 gues. 
 
 In 1884 Miss Hodges went to London 
 to supervise the publication of her 
 father's literary work. While in Eng- 
 land she enjoyed the friendship of her 
 father's cotemporaries. Sir George El- 
 vey. Sir George McFarren, Sir Freder- 
 ick Ousley, Dr. H. Monk (author of 
 " Abide with Me "), Sir George Grove, 
 as well as later men of note in the 
 Church, Sir John Stainer, M. Berthold 
 Tours, and others. 
 
 She has compiled a book of " Sketches, 
 Glimpses, and Pictures " of her father, 
 and has further honored his memory 
 by placing a memorial window in the 
 little English Church, in the church- 
 yard of which is his grave. It is the 
 purpose of Miss Hodges to return ulti- 
 mately to England. 
 
 Her address, in 1895, was Miss Faus- 
 tina Hasse Hodges, Waterbury, Conn.

 Emma Willard, Mrs. Kehoo recalls the 
 following incident : " While teaching, 
 in 1855, I attended the meeting of the 
 New York State Teachers' Association 
 at Utica, N. Y. Mrs. Willard had been 
 invited to attend and give a history of 
 her experience in introducing higher 
 mathematics into her school. She was 
 seated on the platform, and addressed 
 the audience without rising, saying 
 that as she did not approve of women 
 making public addresses, she would 
 say what she had to say to them from 
 her chair. 
 
 " She had consented to appear before 
 them because she wished to give them 
 some idea of the opposition and popu- 
 lar prejudice of professors of mathe- 
 matics, and others of those days, and 
 also tell them how she had succeeded 
 beyond her most sanguine hopes in 
 establishing that course of study. 
 
 " Susan B. Anthony and several of 
 her friends were present. Of course 
 they did not agree with Mrs. Willard 
 in her views respecting woman as a 
 public speaker. 
 
 " Though many years have passed 
 since that event, I recall vividly the 
 dignified and queenly appearance of 
 Mrs. Willard, and with what enthusi- 
 asm the audience drank in every word, 
 applauding her vigorously when she 
 ceased."

 closing of the school without the usual 
 graduating exercises. Her gentle na- 
 ture and winning manners made her 
 beloved by teachers and pupils, and her 
 memory is fragrant. 
 
 Hoyt, Sarah A., 
 
 Daughter of Fowler W. and Abigail 
 (Weeks) Hoyt, was born in Manches- 
 ter, Vt., January 30, 1837. She studied 
 at Burr and Burton Seminary in Man- 
 chester, before entering Troy Semi- 
 nary in 1854, where she graduated in 
 1856. 
 
 Her period of study in Troy was 
 marked by rare ability and unflagging 
 industry. Her classmates, under Miss 
 Hastings' instructions in Chemistry 
 and Mechanics, will recall her fine re- 
 citations and conscientious work. She 
 
 was one of a selected few whose high 
 
 standard of scholarship rendered them 
 
 eligible to membership in the class in 
 
 Butler's Analogy when this book was 
 
 first introduced as a text-book into the 
 
 Seminary. Following her graduation 
 
 she devoted four years to teaching, two 
 
 years in a private family in Lumpkin, 
 
 Stewart Co., Ga., and two in Troy, 
 
 N. Y. In Troy she became associated 
 
 with her aunt, Miss Eliza B. Weeks, in 
 
 517 
 
 the management of a school for young 
 girls, which was conducted with great 
 success. 
 
 September 23, 1862, she married Mr. 
 William C. Spelman, a New York mer- 
 chant, residing in Brooklyn, N. Y. Go- 
 ing to Brooklyn young, and an entire 
 stranger, she soon identified herself 
 with all that was best in the city's life. 
 She became interested in the great 
 Fair for the benefit of the Sanitary 
 Commission, and through it she re- 
 ceived an impulse and direction which 
 kept her in touch with tho philanthropic 
 work of the city throughout her life. 
 For thirteen years she was Treasurer 
 of the Industrial School and Home for 
 Destitute Children, and during that 
 period she disbursed over eight hun- 
 dred thousand dollars. She was a val- 
 ued and influential member of the 
 Brooklyn Woman's Club, and a char- 
 ter member of the Emma Willard 
 Association, which she served as Re- 
 cording Secretary from the time of its 
 organization, in 1891, until her death. 
 
 But with all her rare and brilliant 
 endowments for associated work, it was 
 rather her fealty to home and family 
 which dominated her character. While 
 every plan for intellectual, or moral, or 
 religious elevation in the community 
 met her hearty sympathy, and many 
 such organizations shared the benefit 
 of her well-directed zeal and efficient 
 labors, she was not less the sympathetic, 
 devoted wife, and the conscientious, 
 faithful mother, who laid the gifts of 
 her highest nature upon the altar of 
 her home. Long will her friends re- 
 member the Brooklyn household over 
 which she presided, as a centre of 
 cheerful domestic and social activities. 
 She was an example and an inspiration 
 to all with whom she came in contact.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Of five children, four are now living : 
 Matilda Hoyt, the wife of Clark Burn- 
 ham, M. D., of Brooklyn ; Hoyt Spel- 
 man, married, and settled in Manches- 
 ter, Vt. ; Marian Spelman, married to 
 Mr. Frederick Edgar Walker, and resi- 
 ding at 76 Woodruff Avenue, Flatbush ; 
 and William C. Spelman, Jr., a member 
 of the class or 1889 in Yale College. 
 
 Among Mrs. Spelman's accomplish- 
 ments was that of china-painting, in 
 which she had great skill and taste, 
 and to which in the midst of her multi- 
 farious duties she devoted much time, 
 always for the benefit of her friends 
 or some favorite charity. 
 
 From the time of her marriage in 
 1862 until her death, her summ.ers were 
 spent with her family in the old Man- 
 chester homestead. In the tending of 
 its old-fashioned garden she found 
 an ever fresh delight, sharing its pro- 
 lific bloom alike with rich and poor. 
 With a catholicity as broad as Nature's, 
 she was accustomed with her own hands 
 to arrange the flowers each Sunday 
 for the Congregational, Episcopal, and 
 Catholic churches. This love of flow- 
 ers was but an index of her love for 
 every human being. 
 
 Mrs. Spelman died at her home in 
 Brooklyn, March 10, 1895, after an ill- 
 ness of many months. The following 
 are among the minutes adopted by the 
 Emma Willard Association, at a meet- 
 ing held a few days after her death : 
 
 " On Sunday morning, March 10, our 
 beloved associate, Mrs. Sarah Hoyt 
 Spelman, passed away from earth into 
 the larger life beyond. To this Asso- 
 ciation her loss cannot be measured. 
 It is a curtailing of its strength, its 
 beauty, and its sweetness. 
 
 " She was one of its original found- 
 ers, gave us our Constitution, and ably 
 
 assisted in our yearly banquets. As 
 Recording Secretary she has served 
 most acceptably and brilliantly since 
 the beginning of the Association. 
 
 " She gave lovingly and in no stinted 
 measure of her best. Helpfulness was 
 perhaps her most prominent charac- 
 teristic, which, joined to unfailing 
 sweetness and cheerfulness, endeared 
 her to all. Her life was one of conse- 
 crated service to others, yet wherein 
 personal happiness was so evident that 
 it shed its influence upon all who knew 
 her. 
 
 " A graduate of Troy Female Sem- 
 inary, she ever preserved a deep affec- 
 tion for her Alma Mater, and cher- 
 ished high ideals of its future. 
 
 " In the meridian of her life she has 
 left us — in the midst of widely ex- 
 tended and increasing usefulness : but 
 we must believe that new activities 
 await her, and more commanding need, 
 for which she is just become ready. 
 Life is not measured by number of 
 days, but rather by its achievements, 
 and its development of character, and 
 
 " ' In short measures, life may perfect be.' 
 By this standard her life was long and 
 complete : still more complete by the 
 spirit in which she worked. 
 
 " To this Association, where she took 
 so large and helpful a part, and where 
 she was so sweet and gracious a pres- 
 ence, she must ever remain an inspira- 
 tion and a loving memory. Into that 
 nearer, dearer circle of Home, we dare 
 not enter except in mute and loving 
 sympathy. It is not for us to voice 
 there her loss, where she shone as 
 wife, and mother, and friend. 
 
 " ' A perfect woman, nobly planned 
 To warn, to comfort, and command ; 
 And yet a spirit still, and bright 
 With something of an angel's light.' "

 Hubbard, Juliette Pittman, 
 
 Daughter of Capt. Isaac and Julia 
 Ann (Hayford) Hubbard, was born in 
 West Troy, N. Y. 
 
 She attended Troy Seminary from 
 1857 to 1861, and married, in 1866, 
 George Richard Hill. Her two chil- 
 dren are : C. Hubbard Hill, and George 
 Albert Hill. Mrs. Hill is a member 
 of Trinity Episcopal Church, of West 
 Troy, President of the Society of the 
 " Daughters of the Cross," connected 
 with that Church.

 Hulet, Clara L., 
 
 Entered Troy Seminary from Bruns- 
 wick, O., graduating with the class of 
 
 1857. 
 
 Her education was pursued in Bruns- 
 wick, supplemented by a year in Bald- 
 win University of Berea, O., before 
 going to Troy Seminary. 
 
 A chapter from her autobiography, 
 with which she has kindly furnished 
 us, gives an interesting review of her 
 career. Perhaps the most notable in- 
 cident of her school-life was the man- 
 ner of its closing. 
 
 By special dispensation, at the hour 
 when her class-mates were receiving 
 their diplomas, she, six hundred miles 
 away, was plighting her troth to her 
 former teacher, Prof. John Wheeler, 
 who from 1856 to 1870 was President 
 of Baldwin University, and from 1870 
 to 1875 held the same office in the 
 Wesleyan University of Iowa. 
 
 The relation thus assumed brought 
 with it heavy and long-continued re- 
 sponsibilities. Family cares or public 
 duties did not stifle literary tastes, or 
 prevent her active cooperation with her 
 
 husband in the labors in which he was 
 eminent. 
 
 For years she taught in both institu- 
 tions with which Dr. Wheeler was 
 identified, but her principal field of 
 labor was in her home. Four children 
 were hers by inheritance. Dr. Wheeler 
 having been previously married, and 
 more were added to the flock by the 
 second marriage. Eight of that band 
 which gladdened this happy home are 
 now living, and taking active part in 
 the labors and responsibilities of life. 
 In 1 88 1, twenty -four years from the 
 day of her graduation and marriage. 
 Dr. Wheeler entered upon rest. His 
 life had been an inspiration and a bene- 
 diction, not only to his own family, but 
 to the community in which he lived. 
 
 Since her widowhood, Mrs. Wheeler 
 has occupied herself with the care and 
 education of her three younger daugh- 
 ters, at the same time taking part in 
 Church work, and in some lines of re- 
 form, notably the work of the W. C. 
 T. U. More recently she has identi- 
 fied herself with the Associated Chari- 
 ties of Minneapolis.

522 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 private schools and in Cazenovia Semi- 
 nary, graduating from tiie latter in 
 
 1853- 
 The year following she filled the 
 
 position of Preceptress in the Academy 
 
 of Fayetteville, N. Y., having, however, 
 
 taught a summer term in a district 
 
 school when but fourteen years of age. 
 
 In 1854 she entered the Seminary of 
 Troy, chiefly to perfect herself in mu- 
 sic and the languages. The same year 
 she accepted a position as governess in 
 the family of Hon. George Schley, of 
 Augusta, Ga., and in 1858 she married 
 Halsey Fenimore Cooper, the 'Editor 
 and Proprietor of a leading daily jour- 
 nal in Chattanooga, Tenn. 
 
 Mrs. Cooper ably assisted her hus- 
 band in his journalistic work until, in 
 the breaking out of the Civil War, be- 
 cause of their Union sentiments freely 
 promulgated, they were forced to aban- 
 don their interests in Chattanooga, and 
 return North. 
 
 Later, when Tennessee was again 
 under Federal control, Mr. Cooper re- 
 turned to Memphis as U. S. Assessor, 
 his family accompanying him. Here 
 Mrs Cooper identified herself with re- 
 ligious and philanthropic work, teach- 
 ing a large Bible-class of adults, (among 
 whom were many army chaplains,) and 
 was also made President of the Society 
 for the Protection of Refugees. 
 
 The position in such a locality at this 
 period was onerous and dangerous, 
 and this, with the loss of her little 
 daughter, so undermined her health 
 that her career of usefulness seemed 
 about to end. For a while, under the 
 invigorating influence of a two years' 
 residence in St. Paul, Minn., she rallied 
 somewhat, but her physician's final 
 verdict was " She has worn out the cli- 
 mate, and cannot possibly survive a 
 
 month." She wrote with feeble hand 
 to a friend, " I know my physician 
 thinks I cannot live, but I believe my 
 Heavenly Father has more work for 
 me to do." And so, under Providence 
 and the tender ministrations of hus- 
 band and daughter, it proved. 
 
 Resigning his office, Mr. Cooper jour- 
 neyed with her to California. Halting 
 at the city of the Golden Gate for rest, 
 her improvement was soon so apparent 
 that they decided at once to make their 
 home there. 
 
 With returning strength Mrs. Cooper 
 renewed her interest in her philan- 
 thropic and literary work — notably her 
 Bible teachings. Beginning with a 
 class of eight or ten adults, it soon 
 numbered hundreds, who under the 
 influence of her magnetic teaching be- 
 came her hearty co-workers. With this 
 cooperation Mrs. Cooper established 
 the second Kindergarten west of the 
 Rocky Mountains. As a result of the 
 first year's effort two free Kindergar- 
 tens had been established. The grain 
 of mustard-seed has yielded a harvest. 
 Under the auspices of the Golden Gate 
 Association, of which Mrs. Cooper was 
 President, thirty-five free Kindergar- 
 tens have been established in San 
 Francisco, eighteen of which are per- 
 manently endowed. 
 
 During all these years she continued 
 her literary work, and her addresses 
 before institutions of learning and phi- 
 lanthropic societies were as limitless in 
 numbers as in influence. 
 
 She was Vice-President of the Pacific 
 Coast Woman's Press Association, Vice- 
 President of Associated Charities of 
 San Francisco, member of Practical 
 Aims Committee, of the Century Club, 
 and of other local and literary organiza- 
 tions. 
 
RECORD OF PUPILS, 1852 TO 1862.

 The San Francisco Century Club is 
 said to represent the wealth and cul- 
 ture of California. A chance guest at 
 one of their gatherings thus refers to 
 Mrs. Cooper : 
 
 " A gentle little lady in mourning, 
 with white hair and spectacles, and 
 beautiful withal, stepped upon the 
 platform. . . . Mrs. Cooper's strength 
 as a speaker was found in her absolute 
 forgetfulness of self in her subject; 
 her charm was her vivacity and hu- 
 morous asides, which one had to watch 
 for and catch as one could. . . . 
 
 " In the hour of sociability that fol- 
 lowed, it was plain to see who was the 
 beloved member of the Century Club. 
 In fine, she was the dearly-beloved wo- 
 man of San Francisco, and its wealthy 
 citizens delighted to do her honor." 
 
 She and Col, Robert IngersoU were 
 distant cousins, and had known each 
 other from childhood. It may be but 
 a fable, but the story is current that 
 when the great agnostic came to San 
 Francisco to lecture, and saw her saintly 
 face in his audience and remembered 
 her life of faith and works, his brilliant 
 sentences faltered on his tongue. 
 
 Mrs. Cooper's life was suddenly 
 darkened by the suicide of her husband, 
 in 1885. She continued to make her 
 home in California, and rallying with 
 characteristic heroism from the shock 
 of her sad bereavement, she seemed 
 to reconsecrate herself to the philan- 
 thropy of uplifting women. An only 
 daughter, Miss Harriet Cooper, was 
 the companion and assistant of her 
 mother. 
 
 On the morning of December 11, 
 1896, the newspapers of that city con- 
 tained the following startling an- 
 nouncement : 
 
 " Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, famed 
 
 throughout the United States because 
 of her untiring zeal in works of char- 
 ity, and her daughter. Miss Hattie 
 Cooper, were found dead in bed at the 
 Cooper residence, 1902 Vallejo Street, 
 both having been asphyxiated by gas. 
 The news of this tragedy, which spread 
 with great rapidity, caused one of the 
 greatest sensations San Francisco has 
 ever experienced." 
 
 Farther details developed the fact 
 that the daughter, suffering from acute 
 melancholia, and having become ac- 
 quainted with the fact that insanity 
 was hereditary in her father's family, 
 had herself succumbed to the suicidal 
 mania, and with the murderous pur- 
 pose of a maniac had made her mother 
 the victim of a terrible tragedy. AH 
 evidence tended to show that Miss 
 Cooper had turned on the gas after her 
 mother had fallen asleep, and had then 
 laid herself down to await the end. 
 
 In its tribute to the memory of Mrs. 
 Cooper the San Francisco journal said, 
 " Perhaps no more fitting tribute to 
 Mrs. Cooper could be given than that 
 penned by Col. IngersoU upon present- 
 ing her a copy of one of his books 
 attacking the religion of the churches. 
 He wrote upon the fly-leaf, ' If all Chris- 
 tians were like my cousin Sarah, this 
 book would never have been written.' " 
 
 IngersoU, Harriet Euphrasia, 
 
 Daughter of Capt. Samuel C. and 
 Laura (Case) IngersoU, was bom in 
 Nelson, Madison Co., N. Y. 
 
 She was carefully educated in private 
 schools and in Cazenovia Seminary un- 
 til 1854, when she entered Troy Semi- 
 nary, where she remained until 1855. 
 
 In 1856 she married Dr. Julius A. 
 Skilton, of Troy, N. Y. At the break- 
 ing out of the Civil War Dr. Skilton

 entered the army, where he achieved 
 distinction, first in the Army of the Po- 
 tomac, and afterwards as chief medical 
 officer of Cavalry in the Department of 
 the Southwest, under Generals Banks 
 and Canby. > 
 
 After the war Dr. Skilton was ap- 
 pionted Consul-General of the United 
 States to the City of Mexico, Republic 
 of Mexico. Here Mrs. Skilton attained 
 celebrity in diplomatic circles for the 
 grace and freedom with which she dis- 
 pensed a large hospitality, which was 
 shared alike by Americans and other 
 nationalities. 
 
 While in Mexico Mrs. Skilton was 
 the correspondent of a New York jour- 
 nal, and also of the " San Francisco Bul- 
 letin." Her bright, newsy, and read- 
 able letters attracted much attention. 
 
 She has three children, two sons and 
 one daughter: Frank Avery Skilton, 
 Harry I. Skilton, and Mary Katharine 
 Skilton. 
 
 Dr. Skilton died very suddenly, No- 
 vember 20, 1897, at their home, 444 
 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. 
 
 Mrs. Skilton is a life-member of the 
 Golden Gate Kindergarten Association 
 of San Francisco. 
 
 The late Mrs. Sarah IngersoU Cooper 
 was her sister, and since the death of 
 Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Skilton has spent 
 most of her time in San Francisco, 
 Cal. 
 
 Ingersoll, Helen, 
 
 Daughter of John and Elizabeth In- 
 gersoll, was born in Stockport, Colum- 
 bia Co., N. Y. 
 
 Her father was a farmer, and she a 
 happy country lass, eager for knowl- 
 edge and in love with nature, finding 
 joy in the beautiful things of our beau- 
 tiful world. She entered Troy Sem- 
 
 inary in 1 86 1, but was called home the 
 same year by her father's illness. 
 
 Subsequently she gave instruction 
 upon the piano and organ, and has 
 served as church organist for more 
 than thirteen years. An art student 
 also, she has occupied herself with 
 classes in oil painting. 
 
 In 1863 she married Jacob Smith. 
 An only son, Ernest C. Smith, is a 
 composer and teacher of music. 
 
 Address, in 1896, Mrs. Jacob Smith,

 name, or severed by an impassible 
 social divide, have not met since the 
 door of the Seminary clanged behind 
 them — not even on paper. Lost ! But 
 now they are found! So glad to be 
 found ! Pen in hand — for every hand 
 unpalsied can indite a letter — the once 
 Seminary girl, forgetful of the stealthy 
 
 silver thread, and the track of the ad- 
 monishing crow, drops into the past. 
 Those wives and mothers, those girls 
 of the old school-days, once more meet 
 heart to heart!"

 Lounsbury, Mary Giles, 
 
 Daughter of Samuel Giles and Har- 
 riet Swan (Kinne) Lounsbury, was born 
 in Belgium, Onondaga Co., N. Y. 
 
 Her father came of Holland and 
 of Huguenot ancestry, whose families 
 originally settled in and around New 
 
 York city, many of them living in 
 Ulster Co. Her mother was a native 
 of Connecticut, but during her child- 
 hood went to live in Onondaga Co., 
 N. N., near Syracuse, her father, Mo- 
 ses Kinne, being one of several bro- 
 thers who bought a large tract of land 
 in Onondaga, Oswego, and Cortland 
 Counties. 
 
 Samuel Giles Lounsbury, whom she 
 married, was a merchant near Syra- 
 cuse. He died in the winter of 1840- 
 184 1 from yellow-fever, contracted dur- 
 ing a brief sojourn in the South. His 
 widow with her five young children 
 returned to her father's house in Eu- 
 clid, N. Y. The daughter, Mary Giles 
 Lounsbury, was kept in the village 
 school until of suitable age to be placed 
 in the Kingsborough Academy in Ful- 
 ton Co., N. Y., making her home with 
 paternal relatives who for many years 
 had been zealous supporters of the 
 cause of Foreign Missions. It followed 
 that even in these early years she im- 
 bibed a love and interest for the work 
 to which she afterward devoted her- 
 self. 
 
 Following her two years at Kings- 
 borough she went to Troy Seminary, 
 under the advice of her uncle, the Rev. 
 Edward Lounsbury, then rector of St. 
 John's Episcopal Church in Troy. The 
 death of her father, with the financial 
 vicissitudes that ensued, had inspired 
 her with the purpose of qualifying her- 
 self as a teacher. She entered the 
 school in 1848, continuing until 1853, 
 in which year she would have gradua- 
 ted but for the illness and death of 
 Mrs. Edward Lounsbury. 
 
 She took the place of a daughter in 
 her uncle's household, assuming its 
 duties, and remained with him until 
 her own marriage in 1858, when she

 became the second wife of the Rev. 
 Jacob Rambo, missionary of the Prot- 
 estant Episcopal Church. His field of 
 labor was Liberia, West Africa, where 
 he had already spent two years, going 
 out when first ordained in 1848. The 
 young wife who had shared his earlier 
 labors found her grave in that far-off 
 land, having died in 1855. 
 
 The early training and associations 
 of his second wife rendered her a zeal- 
 ous co-worker, and she carried to her 
 new duties a brave heart and sanguine 
 hopes. But her zeal was beyond her 
 endurance, and at the expiration of 
 two years her failing health compelled 
 their return to this country. 
 
 Early in 1862 her husband resigned 
 his Foreign Mission work, filling suc- 
 cessively and successfully pastorates in 
 Delaware, Iowa, New York city, and 
 lastly in Ohio. His death occurred in 
 Gambler, O., in 1881.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 In 1857 she married the Rev. Hugh 
 S. Alexander, Alumnus of Lafayette 
 College, Pa., and Princeton Theologi- 
 cal Seminary. Owing to an ailment of 
 his throat he made teaching his pro- 
 fession rather than preaching. At the 
 time of his raarriage he was Principal 
 of Kishacoquillas Seminary, Pa., later 
 of a Classical School in Columbia, Pa. 
 
 At the close of the war he purchased 
 a farm in Culpepper, Va., where he 
 established a boarding-school for boys, 
 called Eastern View Academy. In the 
 conduct of this school he has been ably 
 assisted by his wife. 
 
 In a pleasant letter concerning Troy 
 days, Mrs. Alexander recalls some 
 memorable incidents which may evolve 
 a familiar picture to a chance reader : 
 
 " The burning of the Baptist Church 
 in the rear of the Seminary caused 
 great excitement among the girls. 
 Many tumbled all their belongings 
 into their sheets, ready to carry the 
 huge bundles on their backs in case 
 the fire reached us. Some were wicked 
 enough to wish the Seminary would 
 burn and all would be obliged to flee to 
 the hotel, which it was thought would 
 be a romantic adventure. I shall never 
 forget the appearance of our rooms in 
 the third hall next morning, nor the 
 chagrin and disappointment of the 
 girls when they learned that study 
 hours and recitations would go on as 
 usual. 
 
 " And do you remember the night 
 that Hattie Neely died, and the terror, 
 and excitement, and sadness which the 
 sudden event occasioned ? The scene 
 in the parlor next day, and Mrs. Wil- 
 lard's beautifully impressive words, as 
 Hattie was lying there in the strange 
 beauty and stillness of death ? And the 
 unwonted quiet and seriousness that 
 
 pervaded the building for many days ?

 that "the nine purchasers gave the 
 husband of Sarah Weir a tract of land 
 and other inducements to come with 
 them to the Island, and bring his wife

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 "The White City," written by Miss 
 Mitchell in grateful memory of the 
 rich opportunities afforded by the 
 World's Fair, has been widely admired. 
 The following brief extracts from a 
 poem too long to be inserted here, are 
 characterized by a smoothness and 
 melody which bespeak the poet. 
 
 THE WHITE CITY. 
 A WONDROUS city rose beside a lake 
 
 Whose waters laved a Western land most fair ; 
 For lo, a young and dauntless spirit spake, 
 
 And swift its shining domes rose high in air. 
 A gifted soul each beauteous palace planned, 
 Then passed to those not reared by mortal hand. 
 
 The wealth of mines with lavish hand was spent. 
 That countless throngs from all the wide world 
 o'er 
 Should say, that in its grandeur and extent, 
 
 Its like on earth had ne'er been seen before, 
 Herculean enterprise the structures raised. 
 And through them all Art's brightest glories 
 blazed.

 Newbury, Mary Keeler, 
 
 Daughter of the Rev. Samuel and 
 Mary (Sergeant) Newbury, was born 
 in Peru, Ind. 
 
 Her father was a Presbyterian clergy- 
 man of great mental vigor, coupled 
 
 with zeal in religious and educational 
 work ; her mother, a native of Stock- 
 bridge, Mass., closely allied with many 
 of the leading families of Massachu- 
 setts and Connecticut, was a woman 
 of culivated mind and noble character. 
 
 Through her father's active inter- 
 est in establishing public schools and 
 colleges, and Michigan University, 
 in Ohio and Michigan, it transpired 
 that the childhood of the daughter was 
 chiefly passed in Michigan and Ohio. 
 She first graduated from the public 
 schools of Cleveland, with certificates to 
 teach, but subsequently entered Troy 
 Seminary for a year's course, graduat- 
 ing with the class of 1857. 
 
 While a member of the Seminary 
 family she enjoyed intimate relations 
 with Mme. Emma Willard. Her mo- 
 ther had been a pupil in the Middle- 
 bury School, and her mother's aunt 
 a close friend of Mrs. Willard in youth. 
 By virtue of these earlier associations 
 Mrs. Willard was drawn towards her 
 pupil, whose rare intellectual develop- 
 ment farther justified her friendly in- 
 terest in her. On leaving school Miss 
 Newbury purused the study of art, 
 devoting some time to sketching from 
 life, and painting. Of reflective mind 
 and precocious intelligence she early 
 concerned herself with the questions 
 of the day. She was but a young girl 
 when she adopted a course of reading, 
 bearing upon the life of nations, espe- 
 cially occupying herself with the elec- 
 tive philosophies. 
 
 In 1857 she married the Hon. Aus- 
 tin Adams, lawyer, a native of Ver- 
 mont, but who became subsequently 
 one of Dubuque's most honored citi- 
 zens. They had four children: An- 
 nabel, Eugene, Herbert, and Cecilia. 
 The domestic life of Mrs. Adams has 
 
-Aic*-^^ p/^fi 
 
RECORD OF PUPILS, 1852 TO 1862. 
 
 557 
 
 been signally happy. An open-handed 
 hospitality has drawn to her home- 
 circle hosts of cultured and congenial 
 guests, among whom are remembered 
 Emerson and Alcott. 
 
 During her long residence in Du- 
 buque she has cooperated with various 
 literary organizations, and to her in- 
 fluence is largely due the establish- 
 ment, in 1868, of the Conversational 
 Club of Dubuque, one of the finest 
 Woman's Clubs in the United States, 
 having for its object mutual mental 
 culture. 
 
 It was in 1868 that Mrs. Adams be- 
 came identified with the Woman Suf- 
 frage movement. She acted as Vice- 
 President of the Convention held in 
 that year in Chicago, in the interest of 
 that cause, and has continued to be its 
 loyal supporter and advocate. She was 
 appointed corresponding member of 
 the Anthropological Society of Wash- 
 ington, D. C, Hon. Secretary of the 
 Egypt Exploration Fund, and Vice- 
 Chairman for convening the Literary 
 Congress at the Columbian Exposition. 
 
 It need hardly be added that Mrs. 
 Adams holds the pen of a ready writer, 
 to which fact her frequent contribu- 
 tions to journals and periodicals bear 
 ample witness. 
 
 While her busy life has been filled 
 with out-reaching and all-embracing 
 interests and sympathies, she has not 
 permitted herself to ignore the respon- 
 sibilities and practical duties of her 
 home. 
 
 Her husband died in 1890, having 
 served for twelve years in the Supreme 
 Court of Iowa, and for twenty -one 
 years as Regent and Law Lecturer in 
 the State University at Iowa City, 
 Adams, Dubuque, Iowa. Through 
 lineal ancestors Mrs. Adams is eligible 
 
 to membership in the Society of Col- 
 onial Dames. She descended from 
 Gov. Winthrop, Gov. Thomas Dudley, 
 Gov. Broadstreet, and Gov. George 
 Wyllys, of Connecticut.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 member of Congress from Lanesbo- 
 rough, Mass., for twenty years. She 
 was a graduate of Troy Seminary in 
 1859. 
 
 Referring to the eventful period 
 when she left her Western home for 
 boarding-school, she says, " New York 
 and Troy were far away in those days ; 
 there was no telegraph between Mon- 
 roe and New York. I was an only and 
 a petted daughter in my home. From 
 my present standpoint of years, as I 
 recall tenderly the kindness of Madam 
 Emma and Mrs. John Willard as they 
 sought to comfort me in my separation 
 from my father and mother, I seem to 
 realize anew the home-like atmosphere 
 of the dear old Seminary. The courtly 
 dignity of these admirable women in- 
 spired the reverence of their pupils, 
 while their tactful sympathy and gen- 
 tle ways won our confidence and affec- 
 tion. ... I wonder who is the happy 
 possessor of the Raphael that hung 
 over the mantel in Madam Emma's 
 rooms, that I gazed upon and dreamed 
 over, while the waffles were being 
 served to which she had invited us ?" 
 
 In 1865 Miss Noble married Herbert 
 Lee Stoddard, of Monroe, entering at 
 once upon the responsibilities of a 
 home in which she has found her chief 
 joy. She retains her interest in her 
 books, and in further reminiscences she 
 adds, " The foundation of my knowl- 
 edge of the French language was laid 
 by Mile. Decent, in Troy Seminary, 
 and it might please her to know that I 
 have pursued the study by teaching 
 this branch, and I often go and chat 
 with members of the old Normandy 
 families who settled in Monroe." 
 
 Mrs. Stoddard's loyalty to her Alma 
 Mater finds evidence in the school 
 friendships which she has cherished 
 
 and the interest evinced in the " Troy 
 girls." She cites the incident of one 
 of her conscientious schoolmates who 
 once chided her for placing a book on 
 her Bible, " Put it beside\h& Bible," she 
 said, " no book should be above the 
 Bible." 
 
 Mrs. Stoddard is a member of the 
 " Friends in Council," a local literary 
 organization.

 " Troy, Sept. 20, 1824, 
 " My Dear Friend : I wish you could 
 have been here last Saturday to have 
 seen Gen. La Fayette. The citizens of 
 Troy did all they could to honor him. 
 He came with his suite from Albany 
 on canal boats, escorted by the militia 
 of that place. The boats came through 
 the side-cut into the river, where eight 
 small boats — each fitted with a mast, 
 and carrying the national flag — were 
 waiting to escort him to the city. On 
 landing, the distinguished guests were 
 received by the militia of Troy, the 
 Free Masons in full regalia, and a vast 
 concourse of people, and were escorted 
 to the Troy House, where a beautiful 
 arch had been erected — supported by 
 young pine-trees — bearing this inscrip- 
 tion : ' Welcome La Fayette, the friend 
 of Washington, the friend of America, 
 the friend of Liberty !' Directly over 
 the crown of the arch was perched a

 live eagle. The balcony and the recep- 
 tion rooms were decorated with banners 
 and wreaths of flowers. 
 
 " The ladies of Troy, you know, are 
 very patriotic, and they did what they 
 could in honor of the distinguished 
 man. A bower was built across the 
 Park to Mrs. Willard's Seminary ; this 
 was covered with evergreens and flow- 
 ers ; at the entrance to the bower were 
 these words : ' America commands her 
 daughters to welcome La Fayette !' and 
 placed over the entrance of the Semi- 
 nary was this inscription : ' We owe 
 our schools to Freedom — Freedom to 
 La Fayette !' 
 
 " Mrs. Willard's pupils were dressed 
 in white, with blue waist-ribbons, and 
 were arranged in lines each side of the 
 bower through which Gen. La Fayette 
 passed up to the Seminary, where he 
 was received by Mrs. Willard and a 
 great number of ladies assembled for 
 this purpose. An ode, written by Mrs. 
 Willard for the occasion, was sung by 
 her pupils. Soon after the eventful 
 ceremonies ended, and Gen. La Fayette 
 and his suite returned to Albany."

 The story of her short life is em- 
 bodied in the subjoined tribute from 
 her husband : 
 
 " Memory loves to recall the beauti- 
 ful vision of this truly gifted soul — 
 lovely in form and face, out of whose 
 eyes shone the light of a spirit that 
 illuminated other hearts with its radi- 
 ance. Idolized by her friends, she 
 made heaven all about her, but in 
 sweet humility seemed unconscious of 
 her own deserving. She lived a life 
 above the world while living in it, and 
 her daily walk and conversation were 
 as in the very presence of her Lord 
 and Master whom she loved and trust- 
 ed. With glorious promise for the fu- 
 ture, absolutely essential to the happi- 
 ness of those nearest her, the relent- 
 less hand of the dread destroyer fell 
 upon her while enjoying, with her hus- 
 band and parents, the delights of for-

 eign travel — at a moment, too, when 
 the sweet hope of motherhood was fill- 
 ing her heart with a sacred joy. 
 
 " In the passing of her soul a smile 
 outspread her beautiful face, and her 
 faithful nurse said to her, ' Vois-tu Jesus f 
 A gentle movement of the head an- 
 swered ' Yes,' though her lips could 
 not speak, and thus she fell asleep." 
 
 Judge Skinner and his wife had ac- 
 companied Mr. and Mrs. Letchworth to 
 Switzerland, and were with their daugh- 
 ter when the end came. A son, Irving 
 Skinner Letchworth, who died in in- 
 fancy, was born to her August 8, 1868.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Her mother came of a prominent 
 family in New Bedford, and was a kins- 
 woman of Gov. Clifford. Being left a 
 widow while her children were young, 
 she took up her residence in Troy be- 
 cause of the educational advantages 
 afforded there, placing her sons in the 
 Polytechnic Institute. 
 
 Her daughter Carolyn was a pupil in 
 Troy Seminary from 1856 to 1859, dur- 
 ing which time she distinguished her- 
 self by superior scholarship and a liter- 
 ary ability that promised a successful 
 and brilliant career as a writer. She 
 was chosen as one of the corps of teach- 
 ers under Miss Hastings in Hamilton 
 Seminary, where she continued until 
 Miss Hastings' resignation. 
 
 She afterwards filled a position as 
 teacher of English literature in Dear- 
 born Seminary in Chicago, to which 
 city her mother had removed. 
 
 Aside from her professional duties 
 she found time for acceptable literary 
 work, contributing to the public press 
 over the pen name of " Charles Land- 
 er," and to magazines, notably Harper's 
 and the Atlantic. 
 
 Ambitious for the broadest cultiva- 
 tion, she pursued her studies in Italy 
 and France, with Madame Bachellery 
 in Paris, and with Vittoria Hipler in 
 Rome. 
 
 In 1876 she married Orville Watson 
 Powers, of New York city, later of Lon- 
 don, Eng. She has two sons : Clifford 
 Stickney and Carol, and one daughter, 
 Marion. 
 
 Since marriage, Mrs. Powers' literary 
 occupations have been rather in the 
 line of and subservient to her philan- 
 thropies. A friend of many years says 
 of her : " She is one who would sacri- 
 fice herself for a great cause, who would 
 sink herself out of sight if by so doing 
 
 she could carry forward some good 
 work. With a high moral aim, benevo- 
 lent and heroic purpose and persuasive 
 gifts, Mrs. Powers may be content to 
 leave her unfulfilled fame to the grate- 
 ful verdict of those whom she has be- 
 friended." 
 
 She continues to live in London, and 
 her address, in 1898, is Mrs. Carolyn 
 Stickney Powers, Arkwright Road, 
 Rosland, Hampstead, London, Eng.

 Stoneman, Rebecca Cheney, 
 
 Daughter of George and Katharine 
 (Cheney) Stoneman, and sister of the 
 late Gen. George Stoneman, U. S. A., 
 was born in Busti, Chautauqua Co., N.Y. 
 
 Her early school-life was chiefly con- 
 fined to Jamestown Academy. She 
 entered Troy Seminary from James- 
 town, N. Y., in 1854, and continued 
 through 1855. She devoted herself to 
 the profession of teaching at home, in 
 the Ellington, N. Y. Academy, and in 
 Kentucky, and after 1869 in Cali- 
 fornia. 
 
 The later years of her life were spent 
 in the home which she had made for

 Storrs, Elizabeth Q., 
 
 Daughter of Seth Paddock and Jane 
 Ruth (Bigelow) Storrs, was born in 
 Covington, Ga. 
 
 Her childhood was passed in We- 
 tumpka, Ala. It is written of her in 
 loving remembrance by one who knew 
 her from her earliest years, " She made 
 home beautiful for all." 
 
 She entered Troy Seminary in 1850, 
 graduating in 1853. She was the eldest 
 of five children, two daughters and 
 three sons. The death of her parents 
 occurring soon after she left school, 
 she devoted herself, with her sister's 
 help, to the orphaned band of brothers 
 and sisters, but continued her own 
 studies in literature, and in music, both 
 instrumental and vocal. 
 
 In 1866 she married Thomas H. 
 Smith, lawyer, of Wetumpka, Ala. Her 
 
 married life was brief, her death occur- 
 ring in 1867. She was a member of 
 the Presbyterian Church, with a beauti- 
 ful faith in Christ and true to every 
 duty in life. 
 
 Storrs, Charlotte B., 
 
 Daughter of Col. Seth P. and Jane 
 Ruth (Bigelow) Storrs, was born in 
 Covington, Ga. Her father was one 
 of the foremost attorneys of Alabama, 
 and a man of large fortune. A happy 
 childhood and youth were passed in 
 her parents' home in Wetumpka, Ala. 
 until her entrance to Troy Seminary 
 in 1852, at which school she graduated 
 in 1855, when her young life seemed 
 rich in promise. One of her pleasant 
 anticipations was a European trip with 
 Mrs. Willard. But her bright hopes 
 were not to be realized. The sad vi- 
 cissitudes which followed close upon 
 her school life brought to her an un- 
 looked-for discipline, in which she 
 seems to have found the duty and in- 
 spiration of her more mature years. 
 The Civil War with its disastrous re- 
 sults numbered this family among its 
 victims, sweeping from them their 
 fortune, and devoting three brothers 
 to the Confederate Army. 
 
 Miss Storrs' own recital furnishes a 
 pathetic chapter from the history of 
 that period, which brought sorrow and 
 devastation to so many homes, and 
 scattered many a once happy house- 
 hold. 
 
 She says : 
 
 " It was with the highest sense of 
 honor that I entered heart and soul 
 into the conflict, and though my North- 
 ern sisters may call me a 'Rebel,' I 
 shall always feel it was my duty to 
 defend our rights. 
 
 " I gave up my three brothers to 
 enter the Confederate Army. As the

 war progressed, and all the men who 
 could were compelled to leave us, there 
 remained only the old men, and wo- 
 men, and children. 
 
 " Only my sister and myself, and 
 two orphan cousins were left in our 
 home. Calling our faithful negroes 
 together, we appealed to them in our 
 emergency to continue their work un- 
 der our direction. They cheerfully 
 consented, and for three years my sister 
 and I acted as superintendents of the 
 plantation. Morning after morning 
 one of us mounted our horse and rode 
 over the place, giving instructions to 
 our negroes, who proved faithful and 
 loyal. Qur crops consisted of cotton, 
 corn, potatoes, wheat, and other smal- 
 ler grains. We lived comfortably, but 
 without luxuries. On Sundays we 
 drank pure coffee, on other days we 
 mixed with it such substitutes as parch- 
 ed sweet potatoes and okra seeds. For 
 our home supper we had baked sweet 
 potatoes, butter, and milk. Spinning 
 and weaving were done on the place, 
 and we assisted in braiding hats for 
 our servants. In one instance, a friend, 
 who owned a large cotton factory, sent 
 us a quantity of cloth for our negroes. 
 With this exception we were able to 
 meet all necessities by our own exer- 
 tions. 
 
 " I could fill a volume, with ' war- 
 stories,' telling how we often in times 
 of impending danger and aggression 
 hid our family treasures; taking up 
 the bricks and digging down into the 
 earth with our own hands to bury our 
 precious heir-looms out of sight from 
 the expected enemy. But bitter as 
 was this war, it did not extinguish the 
 love and sympathy of our Northern 
 friends, or sever the bond of friend- 
 ship which had united the pupils of 
 
 the Willard Seminary. I shall ever 
 recall with grateful joy the message 
 which came to me in a letter of in- 
 quiry addressed to our Pastor, from one 
 whom (a stranger to him) I had known 
 in my more opulent days, before the 
 war. 
 
 " ' Tell me,' said the friend, ' if she 
 is in need or suffering, and assure her 
 that I have a heart and a purse to re- 
 lieve her.' " 
 
 But checkered as her life has been, 
 Miss Storrs bears cheerful testimony 
 to many blessings and opportunities, 
 none of which is more tenderly or grate- 
 fully remembered than her association 
 with Troy Seminary. 
 
 In these later years she has traveled 
 extensively.

 " In less than an hour after our mar- 
 riage I was ordered to join my regi- 
 ment, then to leave for Washington 
 under the three hundred thousand call. 
 I bade Louisa good-bye, expecting to 
 return after a little while and take a 
 wedding journey. In a month we were 
 made veterans at the battle of Antie- 
 tam, and the days lengthened into 
 months before I was able to return on 
 a short leave. In the meantime, added 
 to the sadness of this early parting 
 and its attendant anxiety, Louise failed 
 rapidly in health. You may imagine, 
 but you cannot know, how shocked I 
 was at her condition. Her letters had 
 been bright and hopeful, and none of 
 her friends had written the actual facts. 
 After remaining a few days I went 
 back, and after the campaign, ending

 Her life has been a busy one, and those 
 who know her bear witness to its effi- 
 ciency. 
 
 She holds the memory of Mr. and 
 Mrs. Willard in tender and grateful 
 regard, and has ever been loyal to her 
 Alma Mater.

 Waters, Dora Wilber, 
 
 Daughter of David and Deborah 
 (Wilber) Waters, was born in 1835 in 
 Lowville, Lewis Co., N. Y. 
 
 It was evident to those who knew 
 her in her earliest youth that nature 
 had specially fitted her for a teacher 
 and leader of the young. She was 
 gifted with rare power, not merely to 
 develop the intellect of her pupils, but 
 the soul as well, to inspire them with.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 high ideals and noble aims. She gave 
 proof of her aptitude in this direction 
 by her first experiment in teaching, 
 when she was but fourteen years of 
 age, but was afterward a pupil in Low- 
 ville Academy, where she graduated. 
 She entered Troy Seminary in 1856, 
 taking a diploma with the class of 
 1857. 
 
 For the three years following she 
 taught in Troy Seminary, and from 
 i860 to 1862 she filled most acceptably 
 the position of Assistant Principal in 
 Hamilton Female Seminary, under 
 Miss M. A. Hastings. When the ill- 
 ness of Miss Hastings, in 1861, severed 
 her connection with Hamilton Semi- 
 nary, Miss Waters also resigned to 
 take a place as teacher in Lowville. 
 In 1866 she was chosen Lady Principal 
 of the High School in Newark, N. J., 
 retaining the position until November, 
 1868. 
 
 In December of the same year she 
 became the second wife of Prof. James 
 M. Quinlan, Vice-Principal of the New- 
 ark High School. Alas! the life of 
 rich promise of usefulness, which had 
 already achieved so much, was des- 
 tined to end in its prime. On Decem- 
 ber 28, 1868, Dora Waters Quinlan was 
 borne in her coffin to her father's 
 home in Lowville, over the same road 
 which she had travelled on her wed- 
 ding-journey but one short year before. 
 
 A life-long friend and fellow-pupil in 
 Troy Seminary says of Dora Waters : 
 
 " I have no words to express my love 
 and admiration of her. I can see her 
 now as I write ; her tall, slender, erect 
 figure, her soft, black hair, her large, 
 dark eyes, her rich coloring, the short 
 upper lip which reveals the exquisite 
 teeth. It is a picture, not of regular 
 beauty, but oh, so winning and attrac- 
 
 tive ! Her influence on me was mag- 
 netic. I have never met any woman 
 whose strength of character and deep 
 religious tone of mind impressed me 
 so strongly. Yet with it all her heart 
 bubbled over with cheerfulness. 'Why,' 
 she used to say, ' it would alarm me if 
 I were not always happy. I should 
 fear I was not my Father's child.' I 
 think she was made of the stuff mar- 
 tyrs are made of, and would have died 
 for her faith, if need be. 
 
 " There was no necessity for her to 
 be self-supporting, but she taught be- 
 cause she believed by so doing she 
 could befriend others." 
 
 There were four children of Prof. 
 Quinlan 's first marriage, in whom the 
 new mother took a most tender inter- 
 est. Her own infant was laid in her 
 arms a short time before her death, 
 but after a few motherless and wailing 
 days it too passed beyond the struggle 
 and helplessness of this life. 
 
 In a brief, pathetic reminiscence of 
 Mrs. Quinlan 's life and death, Prof. 
 Quinlan writes, more than a quarter of 
 a century after her death : 
 
 " Heaven made her of spirit, fire, 
 and dew. The union of the first two 
 is not uncommon — the dew it was that 
 softened the other two into sweetness 
 and light, and the happy union of the 
 three made her a charm to me — and 
 makes it still." 
 
 The residence of Prof. James M. Quin- 
 lan was 506 Summer Avenue, Newark, 
 N. J. He died in June, 1898,

 care of her widowed brother's mother- 
 less children. 
 
 Her sudden death occurred in Sandy 
 Hill, N. Y., January 8,' 1897. 
 
 Referring to the event, the "Troy 
 Times " says : 
 
 "Miss Wentworth will be greatly 
 missed by the ' Times ' and its read- 
 ers, for her articles were never failing 
 sources of pleasure and profit. They 
 had the sure touch of accurate knowl- 
 edge, and the ringing force of intel- 
 ligent conviction, while a graceful 
 fancy and a ready humor lightened 
 and diversified her work. With an 
 attractive personality, she was a favor- 
 ite in social circles — especially were 
 young people attracted to her by the 
 spirit which made her ever sympathe- 
 tic with youth."

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Her maternal grandmother (Lydia 
 Hart) was the sister of Mrs. Emma 
 Willard, and of Mrs. Almira Lincoln 
 Phelps ; and her mother's sister, Mary 
 F. Treat, became the adopted daugh- 
 ter of Mrs. Willard. 
 
 Miss Wilcox enjoyed the early ad- 
 vantages of an Academy in Cromwell, 
 Conn., and in the High School of Meri- 
 den, Conn., then in charge of Prof. 
 David Camp. He was afterward called 
 to the Normal School in New Britain, 
 Conn., where Miss Wilcox continued 
 as his pupil. In 1853 she entered Mt. 
 Holyoke Seminary, but both Mrs. Wil- 
 lard and Mrs. Phelps felt that their 
 sister's grandchild should be educated 
 under their supervision. It transpired, 
 therefore, that after a brief period at 
 Holyoke she became identified with 
 Troy Seminary in 1854, and graduated 
 with the class of 1856. The next year 
 she took a position as teacher in the 
 school, and retained it until the retire- 
 ment of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Willard, 
 in 1872, when Miss Wilcox was chosen 
 to succeed them as Principal of the 
 Seminary. 
 
 At this time the Seminary property, 
 which had been heretofore owned by 
 the city, was purchased by the Trus- 
 tees* — thus assuring the perpetuity of 
 the school. The Boarding Department, 
 however, had to be suspended for want 
 of suitable accommodations, and the 
 Seminary became a Day-School. 
 
 It was most fortunate that, under 
 these circumstances, its management 
 fell to Miss Wilcox. At first she shrank 
 from the task, but, encouraged by many 
 friends, she undertook it as a labor of 
 love. It had come to her by legiti- 
 
 * Through the zeal and liberality of Mr. William 
 Gurley, President of the Board of Trustees, and his 
 brother, Mr. Lewis Gurley. 
 
 mate inheritance, and with indomitable 
 courage and energy she set herself to 
 carry it forward. Loyal to the tradi- 
 tions of the school, she could be satis- 
 fied with nothing short of the highest 
 standard of scholarship, and the best 
 methods of teaching. She kept herself 
 in touch with all the advanced ideas of 
 the time on education, and applied them 
 practically, as far as the limited means 
 of the school permitted — often adding 
 from her own purse some piece of ap- 
 paratus, or some book of reference re- 
 quired in the laboratory or the library. 
 Through the Dana Natural History So- 
 ciety, established in the school under 
 her auspices, she led her pupils to an 
 intelligent interest in the work of the 
 Scientific Association of Troy. 
 
 She is herself a member of the Amer- 
 ican Association for the Advancement 
 of Science, to which she contributed an 
 able paper in 1892. 
 
 To estimate justly the responsibility 
 and the labor Miss Wilcox assumed, one 
 must bear in mind that the day of spe- 
 cial teachers for separate departments 
 had not yet come to girls' schools. Her 
 work covered four or five different 
 departments of study, involving an 
 amount of labor simply amazing. She 
 taught not only mathematics, chemis- 
 try, and the higher branches of physics, 
 but English literature and psychology, 
 in which latter she was especially in- 
 terested. In her enthusiasm for knowl- 
 edge, and her power to study, the man- 
 tle of her illustrious ancestor seemed 
 indeed to have fallen upon her. What 
 wonder that, in her case, this strenuous 
 work for the school went almost to the 
 point of self-effacement, and made her 
 practically unknown in the city whose 
 daughters she was training up ! 
 
 In evidence of the success she achieved

 in this multifarious office we quote the 
 just and cordial tribute paid to her 
 by Miss Sarah H. Willard at the ded- 
 ication of the Gurley Memorial Build- 
 ing in 1892, in which she says: "It is 
 chiefly owing to Miss Wilcox's untir- 
 ing and intelligent devotion, that the 
 school can now enter its new house 
 with the standard of scholarship and 
 discipline in no wise lowered from that 
 of former days; and, except in the 
 advantage which large endowment 
 gives, the equal of any school in the 
 country." 
 
 In her own modest estimate of her 
 career one recognises the key-note of 
 her success. 
 
 "I have loved my profession and 
 have had the enthusiasm and physical 
 strength to work hard for it." 
 
 To her love of her profession may 
 be added her grateful love and rev- 
 erence for Mrs. Emma Willard, and 
 her fealty to the Institution to which 
 her own best years have been conse- 
 crated. 
 
 Year after year her classes had grad- 
 uated with the full course of study. 
 The last time in June, 1895, the seven- 
 ty-third Commencement of Troy Fe- 
 male Seminary, when Miss Wilcox 
 retired from the school, eighty young 
 women received diplomas for the full 
 course, and nine took certificates for 
 the partial course. 
 
 With the retirement of Miss Wilcox 
 from Troy Seminary in 1895, the Wil- 
 lard dynasty ended. Mrs. Emma Wil- 
 lard began her educational work in 
 1822. Mr. and Mrs. John H. Willard, 
 continued it from 1838 to 1872. Miss 
 Wilcox carried it forward from 1872 
 to 189S, an honorable succession of 
 nearly three quarters of a century. 
 Who shall say how far down the cor- 
 
 ridors of Time the light of this mo- 
 ther of Schools, Troy Female Semi- 
 nary, shall irradiate ! 
 
 Since the close of Miss Wilcox's 
 duties in Troy, she has been in the en- 
 joyment of a period of a much needed 
 rest, and recreation in travel and study, 
 and in visits with friends to whom she 
 is endeared. 
 
 In 1898 she may be addressed, Miss 
 Emily Treat Wilcox, Meriden, Conn. 
 
 Wilcox, Mary Loiusa, 
 
 Daughter of J. B. and Hannah Hop- 
 kins (Hodge) Wilcox, was born at 
 Mount Morris, N. Y. Subsequently 
 her home was in Castile, in Pourtage- 
 ville, and in Caseyville, N. Y. She 
 taught at High Bridge and Caseyville, 
 and attended the Common School and 
 Academy in Benningfton, and Attica, 
 N. Y., before going to Troy Seminary 
 in 1855. After completing her course 
 of study she taught in the Primary 
 Department of the Seminary, and in 
 the classes of drawing and water color 
 painting. She married Orson Warner 
 Fellows, of Harvey, 111., and had five 
 children, three now living : Homer An- 
 na, Minnie, and Florence. 
 
 Mrs. Fellows is a member of the 
 First Congregational Church, of Har- 
 vey, and identified with its various 
 philanthropies. 
 
 She has been an occasional contrib- 
 utor to the newspapers, of verses, and 
 notes of travel.

 Wilcox, Harriet E., 
 
 Daughter of Alonzo B. and Hannah 
 (Swift) Wilcox, was born in Harpers- 
 field, Delaware Co., N. Y. 
 
 Her preparatory education was pur-

 sued in tlie Academy of Harpersfield, 
 and in the State Normal School, from 
 which she graduated in her seventeenth 
 year. She taught one year in public 
 schools in Dutchess Co., one year in 
 the Union School, of Schenectady, and 
 was for two years Preceptress in Dela- 
 ware Academy, of Delhi, N. Y. In 1859 
 she entered Troy Seminary, graduat- 
 ing in i860. She returned to Troy 
 Seminary as teacher for the school 
 year ending in 1861. 
 
 At the expiration of that year she 
 married Dr. Edward H. Wheeler, of 
 Schenectady, who died in 1871. Her 
 two sons graduated from Williams 
 College, Mass., one afterwards study- 
 ing abroad in Germany and Paris, the 
 other taking his degree in the Law 
 School in Albany, N. Y. 
 
 Address, in 1896, Mrs. Harriet E. 
 Wheeler, 21 South Hawk Street, Al- 
 bany, N. Y. 
 
 Wilcox, Anna B., 
 
 Daughter of Alonzo B. and Hannah 
 (Swift) Wilcox, was born in Harpers- 
 field, N. Y., and graduated from Troy 
 Seminary in 1861. Subsequently she 
 devoted herself to the profession of 
 teaching, until 1874. 
 
 She was for five years associated with 
 Prof. Briggs, (formerly Principal of 
 Auburndale Seminary,) as Preceptress, 
 two years in Schoharie Academy, and 
 three in the Delaware Literary Insti- 
 tute, in Franklin, N. Y. During 1872 
 and 1873 she was a member of the 
 faculty of Adelphi Academy, Brook- 
 lyn, N. Y. 
 
 In 1874 she married the Rev. Al- 
 len Ford De Camp, of Morristown, 
 N.J. 
 
 Address, in 1896, Mrs. Allen Ford 
 De Camp, 410 William Street, Elmira, 
 N. Y. 
 
 Wilcox, Annie, 
 
 Daughter of Lemuel and Eliza (Field- 
 ing) Wilcox, was born in Allegheny 
 City, Pa. She was an only daughter, 
 happy in the companionship of four de- 
 voted brothers. Her preparatory studies 
 were interrupted by numerous changes 
 in schools, but the later years were 
 passed in the Steubenville Seminary of 
 Ohio, under Dr. and Mrs. Beatty. In 
 1859 she was placed in Troy Semi- 
 nary, just before the breaking out of 
 the Civil War. 
 
 The school was largely patronized 
 by Southern families, and owing to 
 the disturbed condition of the country, 
 and the incident excitement and anx- 
 ieties, the school year ended abruptly 
 in May, in order that the Southern 
 girls might return to their homes be- 
 fore a barrier should be established 
 between the North and South. This 
 precluded the usual yearly examina- 
 tion and the awarding of diplomas to 
 the graduates of 1861. 
 
 In 1 867 Miss Wilcox married Frank 
 Semple, of Pittsburg, and has since 
 then made her home in the pleasant 
 suburbs of that city. She is the mo- 
 ther of four children, in whose train- 
 ing and companionship she has found 
 her duty and her happiness. 
 
 An extract from a graceful letter of 
 reminiscence will pleasantly identify 
 the occupants of a certain room in the 
 Fourth Hall of the oldtime Seminary : 
 
 " Laura (Livingston) was always 
 ready first for prayers or class, and as 
 she left the room she invariably called, 
 'Come on,' while I, following, answered, 
 ' Go on.' Hardly would we reach the 
 head of the stairs before we would hear 
 Belle (McKenna) calling 'Wait,' for 
 she was always a little behindhand, and 
 would come hurrying along, twisting

 her long, fair hair in two ropes on each 
 side of her face, which during prayers 
 she would divide with her fingers into 
 a dozen lovely curls. Dear Madame 
 Willard ! I can see her now as she came 
 on Sunday to dinner and Bible-Class, 
 so stately and elegant in black velvet 
 train, with the rich white lace of her 
 cap, and a full complement of it falling 
 over her hands."

 P. O., Pa. 
 
 Wilder, Helen M., 
 
 Daughter of Alanson and Evelina 
 (Holcomb) Wilder, born in Lewis, Es- 
 sex Co., N. Y., was a pupil in Keenville 
 Academy (N. Y.), and in the Troy Con- 
 ference Academy, West Poultney, Vt., 
 and went from Lewis to Troy Female 
 Seminary for the year 185 1. 
 
 In 1857 she became the second wife 
 of John L. Merriam, and has had four 
 children. Residence after marriage St. 
 Paul, Minn. 
 
 Mrs. Merriam is a member of St. 
 Paul's Episcopal Church, and identified 
 with the local charitable and literary 
 organizations. 
 
 Ex-Gov. William R. Merriam, of 
 Minnesota, is a son of her husband's 
 former marriage. 
 
 Address, in 1897, Mrs. John L. Mer- 
 riam, 5 University Ave., St. Paul, Minn. 
 
 Willard, Emma Willard, 
 
 Eldest daughter of John Hart and 
 Sarah Lucretia (Hudson) Willard, was 
 born, reared, and educated in Troy, in 
 the Seminary which her illustrious 
 grandmother founded. Readers of this 
 biography who were members of the 
 school in the late years of its second 
 
 decade, will recall the sprightly little 
 girl that loved to escape from the nur- 
 sery for a free range through the long 
 halls, and sometimes brought her pet 
 kitten into the Seminary office, while 
 they waited for Mr. Lee to hang up the 
 " Letter-list." 
 
 It goes .without saying that this for- 
 tunate child was born to an inheri- 
 tance of intellectual endowment and 
 resolute industry. Her youthful attain- 
 ments in her school-home seem only 
 the natural sequence of events. Fol- 
 lowing a judiciously-conducted course 
 of study, she graduated in 1854. 
 
 It is no small proof of the excellence 
 of her mental equipment and the thor- 
 oughness of her scholarship, that she 
 was chosen to succeed to the position 
 in Troy Seminary from which Miss 
 Hastings (one of the ablest and most 
 valued teachers ever connected with 
 the School) resigned, in 1859. The 
 classes assigned Miss Willard were 
 those of Chemistry, Latin, and Greek, 
 a large Composition class with a liter- 
 ary society connected with it. The 
 thorough and accurate furnishing of 
 her mind, her gift of imparting knowl- 
 edge, her patience and unwearied cheer- 
 fulness, added to her strong, sweet 
 character, made her in an unusual de- 
 gree an ideal teacher. 
 
 Her qualities of heart were peculiarly 
 engaging, and endeared her to young 
 and old. One of the close friends of 
 her school-days was Louise M. Davis, 
 a graduate of 1848, (daughter of Prof. 
 Davis of West Point), who married 
 Joel Scudder, of New York, and died 
 in 1864, leaving five children mother- 
 less. During Mrs. Scudder's married 
 life this friendship remained unbro- 
 ken. Emma Willard, a frequent and 
 welcome guest in the Scudder home.

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 so endeared herself to the entire house- 
 hold, that when in 1866 she became, 
 through her marriage to Mr. Scudder, 
 the second mother to his children, it 
 seemed the wise ordering of an over- 
 ruling Providence. Here, as in her 
 girlhood, our heroine proved herself 
 fitted to her place. 
 
 We quote the words of one who had 
 watched her gradual development with 
 an affectionate interest, who says of 
 her: 
 
 " Faithful, efficient, free from any 
 form of assumption or of sham, she 
 had that clear good sense which be- 
 longs with an honest heart and sin- 
 cere purpose." 
 
 Mrs. Scudder had six children, and 
 in the ordering of her household and 
 the training of her little flock Mrs. 
 Scudder's sphere was essentially a do- 
 mestic one. She was not alone the 
 wise mother, but the helpful teacher, 
 and greatly assisted her boys in their 
 preparation for college. 
 
 The friends of the two mothers of 
 the Scudder band bear witness to the 
 unselfish goodness and matchless tact 
 that continued to harmonize the in- 
 creasing family with varying ages and 
 dispositions. 
 
 With the "other mamma" still hold- 
 ing its accustomed place upon the wall, 
 the new mamma was, as it were, but a 
 supplement of the other in her aims 
 and influence. 
 
 Mr. Scudder, a lawyer of high re- 
 pute, died in 1888. It was after his. 
 death that Mrs. Scudder gave herself 
 actively to the work of the charities 
 of Calvary Church, of New York, and 
 that of the Prison Association, in the 
 service of which philanthropy she fre- 
 quently visited Blackwell's Island. The 
 Episcopal Church at Northport, N. Y., 
 
 was largely aided by the fostering be- 
 nevolence and zealous work of both 
 Mr. and Mrs. Scudder. 
 
 Mrs. Scudder survived her husband 
 seven years. The sudden ending of 
 her beautiful and most useful life, in 
 May, 1893, brought unspeakable grief 
 to her immediate family, and to all 
 who shared her interests and her sym- 
 pathies. 
 
 Four of her children are now living : 
 Willard Scudder, Master in St. Paul's 
 School ; Heywood Scudder, graduate 
 in Medicine, and a student in Tech- 
 nology, preparatory to teaching ; and 
 Hewlett Scudder, a graduate of Yale, 
 but studying Technical Engineering 
 in Columbia College ; each of them, as 
 if by right of descent, true to family 
 traditions and profession. 
 
 There is one daughter, Emma Wil- 
 lard Scudder, who since her mother's 
 death has presided over the house- 
 hold, which with her own brothers, in- 
 cludes one or more of her half broth- 
 ers. 
 
 The family residence has been for 
 many years at No. 21 East Twenty- 
 second Street, New York city, a local- 
 ity that is now being rapidly invaded 
 by business. 
 
 Mrs. Scudder was one of the Vice- 
 Presidents of the Emma Willard Asso- 
 ciation, and in hearty accord with its 
 aim. 
 
 Willard, Sarah Hudson, 
 
 Daughter of John H. and Sarah L. 
 (Hudson) Willard, was born in Troy 
 Seminary, and continued a member of 
 its favored household until the retire- 
 ment of her parents in 1872. She was 
 a graduate of the class of 1859. 
 
 Instinctively responsive to the heal- 
 thy and inspiring influences of her

 native environment, it is no marvel 
 tliat stie attained in her womanhood 
 to a completeness of character that 
 has made her in the fullest sense equal 
 to her responsibilities. Deviating some- 
 what from the family precedent, she 
 did not devote herself to teaching as a 
 profession, though always in accord 
 with intellectual pursuits. She has 
 seemed rather to find her mission in 
 the domestic circle, and as daughter 
 and sister it may be said of her that 
 her life has been a ministry of love. 
 
 When the shadow of feebleness and 
 infirmity fell upon her mother, it was 
 she upon whom the care of the family 
 devolved. Through the lingering suf- 
 ferings of father, mother, and, last of 
 all, the beloved aunt, Miss Theodosia 
 Hudson, Sarah Willard kept her patient 
 vigils, comforting them to the end. 
 
 The home in Troy where Mr. and 
 Mrs. Willard resided remains in the 
 possession of the family, cared for by 
 faithful servants in the temporary ab- 
 sence of Miss Willard. She and her 
 invalid sister Harriet make long and 
 enjoyable sojourns in Greenfield, Mass., 
 varied with an occasional period of 
 travel, or a season in Boston. Miss Sa- 
 rah Willard became a Trustee of the 
 Emma Willard School, June, 1897. 
 
 A life-long friend pays this heartfelt 
 tribute to the subject of this sketch : 
 
 " It is sometimes given us to know 
 one whose beauty of character, charm- 
 ing personality, and loving service are 
 combined in a noble, unselfish woman- 
 liness which is an inspiration and a 
 blessing to all. Such happy experi- 
 ence have the friends of Sarah L. Wil- 
 lard." 
 
 Address, in 1898, Miss Sarah L. Wil- 
 lard, Ma,nsion House, Greenfield, Mass., 
 or 182 Second Street, Troy. N. Y. 
 
 Willard, Mary Theodosia, 
 
 Daughter of John H. and Sarah L. 
 Willard, was a graduate of Troy Sem- 
 inary in i860, and married, in 1862, Dr. 
 Theodore Gaillard Thomas, a noted 
 physician of New York, born in 1831, 
 on Edisto Island, near Charleston, S. C, 
 His father was an eminent Episcopal 
 clergyman. His mother descended 
 from Theodore Gaillard, a Huguenot, 
 who went to South Carolina on the 
 Revocation of the Edict of Nantes by 
 Louis XIV. 
 
 Faithfully trained under her wise 
 mother in the severer sciences which 
 strengthen, and the friendly refining 
 accomplishments which develop ele- 
 gance of bearing, Mary Theodosia Wil- 
 lard entered with a full equipment 
 upon her duties as the wife of her dis- 
 tinguished husband. 
 
 In addition to his large private and 
 hospital practice in medicine and sur- 
 gery, Dr. Thomas is an accepted au- 
 thority in our own and foreign coun- 
 tries on various questions of medical 
 science. In the labor and research in- 
 cident to his literary work, his wife is 
 his efficient assistant, and in all his 
 plans and enterprises, scientific and 
 philanthropic, she is his S5mipathizing 
 and intimate companion. 
 
 That she is equally consistent in her 
 domestic virtues with the teaching and 
 example of her excellent mother, is ap- 
 parent to all who know her in the home 
 which she so signally adorns. She is 
 the mother of three sons, one of whom 
 has died recently. A familiar friend 
 once said in a review of the Willard 
 family history: "Mrs. Willard 's mar- 
 ried daughters have all the happiest of 
 homes, and their children are sources 
 of happiness to their parents." 
 
 Mrs. Thomas is a communicant of

 Willard, Anna S., 
 
 Daughter of J. O. and Anna (Seely) 
 Willard, was born in Lawrence Co., O.,

 and one of the first settlers in that local- 
 ity. 
 
 She entered Troy Seminary from Iron- 
 ton in 1857, foi* °^^ year. She married, 
 June 17, 1867, Samuel McCuUough,

 Willard, Lucretia, 
 
 Daughter of Gustavus and Caroline 
 (Babbitt) Willard, was born in Medina,

 She entered Troy Seminary in 1852, 
 graduated with the class of 1858. She 
 continued as teacher in the Seminary 
 until i860 ; and taught in other schools 
 for three years. She married, in 1863, 
 Hobart Pitkin Treat, of Memphis, 
 Tenn., and resided in Memphis, and 
 afterwards in St. Louis, Mo. There 
 were four children; none now living. 
 
 After the death of her children Mrs. 
 Treat devoted herself to the profession 
 of teaching, and has found her especial 
 mission in the establishment of Kinder- 
 garten, Normal, and Training Schools. 
 The signal success that has followed 
 her educational endeavors in this direc- 
 tion give ample evidence of her quali- 
 fications for her chosen work. 
 
 Her life has been and is a busy one, 
 and she has known her measure of sor- 
 row, but she is brave and cheerful, and 
 finds in the discharge of her varied re- 
 sponsibilities a solace for the losses and 
 
 disappointments which the years have 
 brought to her.

 Wright, Julia M., 
 
 Daughter of Ebenezer and Clarissa 
 (Curtiss) Wright, was born in Cam- 
 bridge, N. Y. 
 
 Her school-life was chiefly passed in 
 Cambridge Academy, until her en- 
 trance to Troy Seminary, where she 
 was a pupil in 1853. 
 
 Through the recommendations of 
 Mrs. Willard she secured a position as 
 teacher in Amelia County, Va., at the 
 beautiful country seat "Kennone," on 
 the Appomattox River. Later she 
 taught music in Mississippi, Tenn- 
 essee, and in Danville, Ky. In 1861 
 she took charge of the Musical Depart- 
 ment in a school for young ladies in 
 Bloomington, 111. It was there that 
 she met and married Charles A. Phelps, 
 in 1866, who had one daughter (now 
 Mrs. Ella Phelps Carson, of Portland, 
 Ore.) At her marriage Mrs. Phelps 
 resigned her position in the school, but 
 continued to serve as church organist 
 for one year, and also retained a few 
 pupils, so devoted was she to musical 
 study. In Bloomington a daughter 
 was born, inheriting much of her mo- 
 ther's musical ability, and since known 
 
 as Julia Phelps, the harpist. So early 
 and phenomenal was her development, 
 that she could, at the age of four years, 
 play with taste upon the piano, often 
 improvising, and sometimes picking 
 out an air upon the harp. Through 
 the vicissitudes of fortune Mrs. Phelps 
 found it once more expedient to re- 
 sume teaching, which she did in 
 Bloomington, and afterward continued 
 in Chicago, 111., where she has lived 
 for the past eighteen years. 
 
 Among her pupils have been many 
 sons and daughters of clergymen, 
 whom she has taught gratuitously, 
 and others whose musical aspirations 
 exceeded their bank accounts. 
 
 To meet the need of written music 
 for very small children, Mrs. Phelps 
 prepared manuscript arrangements for 
 them, establishing a Musical Kinder- 
 garten system by which children five 
 years old, unacquainted with figures or 
 the alphabet, begin at once to play, 
 beguiled by blocks and other appli- 
 ances. 
 
 She has also written and arranged 
 harp and guitar music for her own 
 pupils. 
 
 A notable incident of her young 
 girlhood, while still in Cambridge, was 
 the arrangement of a girls' quartet, 
 which idea she carried out successfully 
 many years later, with the fine voices 
 of some of her Southern pupils, arrang- 
 ing a harmony with especial reference 
 to female voices. 
 
 In connection with her music, Mrs. 
 Phelps has taught calisthenics classes, 
 adding to and inventing new figures. 
 
 She is identified with the Presby- 
 terian Church, and a member of nu- 
 merous musical and literary clubs. 
 
 Mr. Phelps died in 1883.

 Wright, Melinda Truesdell, 
 
 Daughter of Lewis and Hannah C. 
 (Collins) Wright, was born in Hills- 
 dale, N. Y. 
 
 Her father studied medicine, but 
 chose to follow a business rather than 
 a professional career. Under financial 
 stress he lost his property, but both he 
 and his wife met the exigency bravely. 
 Being liberally educated they began 
 teaching, and for eleven years Prof. 
 Wright filled the Chair of Principal of 
 Showms Academy in Xenia, O. Me- 
 linda Truesdell Wright was an only 
 child, of a timid and retiring nature. 
 Her mother, an early pupil of Mrs. 
 Emma Willard, instilled into her 
 daughter's mind her own reverence 
 and admiration for that distinguished 
 woman. 
 
 It follows that when the daughter 
 herself entered Troy Seminary as a 
 pupil, in 1849, she verified maternal 
 traditions, and profited by the superior 
 opportunities of this excellent school. 
 She remained until 1853. In 1857 she 
 married William A. Hanley, lawyer., 
 and has had four children : one daugh- 
 ter, Marislin, and three sons, John C, 
 Lewis W., and William A. Hanley. 
 The family has lived in Illinois, Mis- 
 sissippi and Iowa. In 1870 Mrs. Han- 
 ley was left a widow. In 1877 she re- 
 turned to Xenia, O. Her oldest son, 
 John C. Hanley, died in 1889.

 earned the money for her continued 
 education, for her parents, most kind 
 and loving, could not afford her the 
 opportunities she desired. 
 
 She was a pupil of Troy Seminary 
 during the years 1854 and 1855. In 
 1857 she married Nelson Preston, far-

 and afterwards they were both candi- 
 dates from the same place for the Leg- 
 islature, to which Bismarck was elected 
 with a majority of only ten votes. Gus- 
 tavus Fischer was Mayor and a mem- 
 ber of the famous Parliament of 1848. 
 On account of political troubles he was 
 obliged to leave his country, and came 
 to New York in 1850. 
 
 After various vicissitudes, having 
 lost his fortune in this country, he was 
 called as Professor of Modem Lan- 
 guages to Rutgers College in New 
 Brunswick, in 1859.

 therless at an early age. She first

 Fisher, Annie Owens, 
 
 Daughter of George Purnell and An- 
 nie (McCauley) Fisher, was born at 
 Dover, Del. 
 
 Her father's ancestors came to this 
 country from England with William 
 Penn, and settled at Lewis, Del., while 
 on the maternal side she claimed a 
 Scotch origin. The lineage of the 
 Fisher family is the same as that of 
 the saintly Bishop John Fisher, who 
 though long time favored by his king, 
 Henry the Eighth, incurred his dis- 
 pleasure by opposing the divorce of 
 Queen Katharine, of Arragon. George 
 P. Fisher, the father of Annie, was the 
 son of Thomas Fisher, a Brigadier 
 General in the war of 1812. Already 
 a Member of Congress, he was ap- 
 pointed by President Lincoln one of 
 the Associate Judges of the Supreme

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Court of the District of Columbia. Set- 
 tling in Georgetown, or as it is now 
 called, West Washington, the daugh- 
 ters of Judge Fisher were placed for 
 instruction at the Convent of the Visi- 
 tation. At this school Annie attracted 
 the attention of her teachers, the good 
 nuns, by the rapidity of her progress 
 and her fondness for study, and their 
 affectionate interest in her was con- 
 tinued. 
 
 On leaving the convent she entered 
 upon a course of study at Troy, N. Y. 
 under the direction of Mrs. Willard. 
 Here too she took high rank in her 
 classes. The following year she re- 
 turned to her home in Washington, 
 making her d^but into society, which 
 at that season was marked with 
 unusual brilliancy. A notable social 
 function of that winter, at which Miss 
 Fisher assisted, was the ball given 
 by the French Minister, the Marquis 
 de Montholon, in the famous Corcoran 
 Mansion. While enjoying all that is 
 best and most refining in life at the 
 Capitol, Miss Fisher was never identi- 
 fied with the gay and frivolous. Un- 
 derlying her vivacity there was a se- 
 riousness and love of study that held 
 her back from the maelstrom of fash- 
 ionable gaiety. 
 
 It is interesting, however, to recall 
 some of the brilliant entertainments, 
 now historic, in which Miss Fisher 
 participated. During President Grant's 
 first administration there were many 
 foreign visitors at the Capitol, among 
 them King Kalakaua and the Japanese 
 Embassy, the latter having come to ce- 
 ment the friendly relations begun be- 
 tween Japan and the United States. 
 Judge Fisher and family were invited 
 to meet the royal guest at the White 
 House, on which occasion King Kala- 
 
 kaua nobly sustained the dignity of his 
 office, and impressed all observers by 
 his majesty of person and an oriental 
 repose. The Japanese Embassy had 
 special interest for Judge Fisher's 
 household, and the entertainment 
 given to the distinguished foreigners 
 was greatly enjoyed. 
 
 In 1875 Miss Fisher visited Europe, 
 remaining several months in Germany, 
 for the study of the language. On her 
 father's retirement from official life, 
 the family residence was once more 
 established in Delaware. In the quiet 
 of her ancestral home, books were her 
 companions, and after a winter of theo- 
 logical reading she was constrained to 
 seek admission into the fold of the 
 Catholic Church, of which she has 
 since remained a steadfast and devout 
 member. 
 
 In 1889 Judge Fisher was again 
 called to official position in Washing- 
 ton, as Auditor of the Treasury. In 
 1 89 1 Miss Fisher married Hon. B. Ben- 
 son Cahoon, a lawyer, of St. Louis, Mo., 
 and became the mistress of a stately 
 and hospitable home.

 Fobes, Eudora, 
 
 Daughter of Edson Fobes, A. M. and

 Wayne Co., N. Y. 
 
 While yet a child she removed with 
 her parents to Glens Falls, N. Y., where 
 her father was for many years Princi- 
 pal of the Glens Falls Academy. Her 
 education was pursued under her fa- 
 ther's tutelage until her entrance to 
 Troy Seminary, where she graduated 
 in 1 863. In 1 876, she married, in Wash- 
 ington, D. C, Hon. Robert A. Hatcher, 
 who for six years was United States

 The family residence continued in

 Washington. Later she turned her

 We copy from her own excellent letter, 
 in which she pays grateful tribute to 
 our Alma Mater, and incidentally re- 
 cords the success of her own endeav- 
 ors. Referring to the Ursuline Acad- 
 emy of Chatham, she writes : 
 
 " If my dear teachers of by-gone 
 days could witness the success that 
 our heavenly Father has allowed to 
 attend my years of toil, in directing 
 the young in the paths of knowledge 
 and rectitude, they would smile in ap- 
 probation and say, that our beloved 
 Alma Mater, the dear old Troy Semi- 
 nary, had not sown the seeds of knowl- 
 edge, good and useful, in barren soil. 
 Believe me, these remarks of myself 
 and my work are made only to do a 
 little honor to the old school I love so 
 well. 
 
 " I think my sister Alice and myself 
 were the first Catholic girls in the In- 
 stitution, and I am happy to state that 
 during our studentship we received 
 the greatest kindness from her whose

 memory deserves all the honor that a 
 grateful city and people can bestow. 
 Dear Madam Emma Willard ! so great 
 and noble in her work, and in her truly 
 Christian life ! 
 
 " To Mr. and Mrs. John Willard, and 
 indeed to all the cherished staff of 
 teachers, (if I may be allowed to partic- 
 ularize, I will make special mention of 
 Miss Manwaring, Miss King, and Miss 
 Emily Wilcox,) my sister Alice and 
 myself owe a deep and lasting debt of 
 gratitude."

 examination, for a season of travel with 
 her father. She ranked high in her 
 classes, and developed creditable skill 
 as an artist. We guote from the letter 
 of her room-mate while in the Semi- 
 nary, a loving tribute to the memory 
 of her early friend, and bearing sweet 
 witness to the close and abiding friend- 
 ship which had its beginning and in- 
 spiration in Troy Seminary. She 
 writes : 
 
 " We were both far from home, which 
 was a bond of sympathy between us. 
 She had a finely cut face, and her 
 hair grew in close clustering ringlets 
 over her head. Dainty and graceful, 
 she was altogether lovely in person, 
 while her sympathetic and humorous 
 nature rendered her charming in com- 
 panionship. So devoted to each other 
 did we become that we enjoyed our 
 own room better than any other place. 
 As a scholar she delighted in literature 
 and drawing. Her handwriting was 
 like engraving, and her personal cor- 
 respondence was illuminated with wit- 
 ty and exquisite sketches in pen and 
 ink." 
 
 In 1872 Miss Higgins married Wil- 
 liam S. Lincoln, of St. Louis, Mo., 
 later, Chief-Engineer of the Wabash 
 Railroad. Her marriage was an ideal- 
 ly happy one. So full of promise did 
 her life seem, that in the language of 
 her friend, " she might been been con- 
 tent to wait for heaven." 
 
 But earthly love cannot fortify us 
 against the encroachments of dread 
 disease. A lingering illness superin-

 Johnson, Helen Minerva, 
 
 Daughter of Alexander G. and Char-

 studied French under Mr. Luce, who 
 was for many years a teacher in the 
 Seminary. She entered Troy Seminary 
 in 1865 and continued till 1868. She 
 spent a year in the convent of the Sa- 
 cred Heart, for the perfecting of her 
 knowledge of French. She began very 
 early to teach her younger sister, and 
 to give lessons in French in private 
 schools in Troy and Lansingburgh. 
 From there she was called to Albany 
 to St. Agnes' School, Bishop Doane, 
 presiding. To this school she gave 
 seventeen years of faithful and efficient

 service, until her impaired health com- 
 pelled a suspension of her duties. To 
 the dismay of her friends the illness, 
 which it was at first believed would 
 yield to rest and skilful treatment, 
 proved fatal, and her useful and beau- 
 tiful life ended in 1889, at the home of 
 her mother, Mrs. Charlotte W. John- 
 son, in Watertown, Conn. 
 
 How precious that life was to those 
 who lived and labored with her finds 
 evidence in the touching words of Bish- 
 op Doane, when the news of Miss John- 
 son's death put " St. Agnes " in mourn- 
 ing. 
 
 " I have no need to tell you what the 
 value of Miss Johnson's service was, a 
 service that grew with every year in 
 devotion and value. As we look at it 
 together, let me ask you to recall the 
 accurate and thorough furnishing of 
 her mind ; her brilliant gift of impart- 
 ing knowledge ; her keen and helpful 
 sympathy with pupils ; her patience 
 and unwearied cheerfulness. She was 
 a teacher not of books but of subjects ; 
 she was a teacher not of the mind only 
 but of the whole nature ; she was a 
 teacher not for wages or reward, but for 
 
 the love of those she taught, of what 
 
 she taught, and of Him in whose name 
 
 she taught. 
 
 " It is actually true that her place has 
 
 not been supplied. And it is also true 
 
 that in certain ways it never will be, 
 
 for she was one of those whose long 
 
 associations with St. Agnes' not only 
 
 imbued her with its traditions, but gave 
 
 through her personal influence and 
 
 strong, sweet character, much of the 
 
 tone of those traditions, and much sha- 
 ping of the standards of our work. In 
 
 her Bible class and her history classes, 
 
 in her association with you in school 
 
 hours and out of them, in her unre- 
 
 717 
 
 served devotion of her time and 
 strength, in her recognition of her re- 
 sponsibility as a Christian teacher, for 
 influence and example by ' following 
 herself the lore she taught,' in all these 
 ways she fulfilled in large and unusual 
 degree the ideal of that high and lofty 
 office. 
 
 The first shock of her illness was 
 sudden to her family and to us, and 
 the surrender of her active work was 
 the sweetest sacrifice that God could 
 have asked of her. But he gave her 
 grace to make it, and she consecrated 
 her pain, her blindness, and her use- 
 lessness as she expressed it to Him."

 been successively in Canandaigua, and 
 Homer, N. Y., Bay City, Mich., La 
 Grange, Ga., Charleston, S. C, St Louis, 
 Mo., and Troy, N. Y. An extract from 
 Mrs. Ford's letter reveals the force and 
 benevolence of her character, the far- 
 reaching influence of which her mod- 
 esty depreciates : 
 
 " There is very little to be said of 
 my life-work. 
 
 " I left school at eighteen, married at 
 nineteen a theological student, was a 
 mother at twenty, since which time I 
 have been mothering my own children 
 as best I could. Of late I have only 
 opened my arms a little wider to take 
 into my heart the little children of our 
 church and Sunday-school. I have 
 done no literary work worthy of men- 
 tion. The editorial work of " The In- 
 ternational Evangel " has been only 
 for Sunday-school teachers, principally 
 primary lesson helpers. 
 
 " I am often sent for to conduct In- 
 stitutes for Primary Sunday-school 
 teachers, but it has grown out of the 
 mother work. My work has been too 
 small to merit the kind words said of 
 it."

 Some newspaper mention of Mrs. 
 Fords' s career may fittingly be re- 
 corded here, " Shortly after her mar- 
 riage Mrs. Ford's health failed, and 
 being recommended to a warmer cli- 
 mate, Georgia became her home for a 
 time. Under this genial change she 
 rapidly recuperated and was able not 
 long after to deliver semi- weekly lec- 
 tures on art and etiquette before the 
 Female College in La Grange, Ga. 
 This department, founded by Mrs. 
 Ford, proved one of the most attrac- 
 tive features of the institution. 
 
 Later in Charleston, S. C, she organ- 
 ized a Bible class of adults. She wrote 
 to twenty-seven young men, invit- 
 ing them to meet her at the church 
 for this purpose. All accepted. By 
 her gently winning manner and com- 
 plete knowledge of her subject, she 
 so impressed the members of the class 
 with the need of a spiritual life, that 
 its numbers increased until the class- 
 room proved too small, and she was 
 compelled to have the church for her 
 instructions, which were continued 
 until her departure for the North. 
 . During the season of 1893 and 1894 
 Mrs. Ford presided over the Primary 
 Teachers' Normal Class in Chautauqua, 
 and has since appeared on the platform 
 of State Conventions in the interest of 
 her chosen work. Womanhood, mo- 
 therhood, childhood — the glorious op- 
 portunity of the first, the sacredness 
 of the second, and the responsibility 
 for proper development in the third, 
 are wisely set forth by Mrs. Ford in 
 her lectures in the District Institutes. 
 
 " But with all this she does not neg- 
 lect her home, being the center of a 
 family who adore her."

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 She was a student in Olivet College, 
 Olivet, Mich., for several years, and 
 later, in 1866, entered Troy Seminary 
 from Charlotte, Mich. 
 
 A severe attack of typhoid fever 
 while in Troy, prevented her comple- 
 tion of the full course of study, great- 
 ly to her disappointment.

 of Lansing, Mich., where her married 
 life was chiefly spent. She died at the 
 family summer home on Higgin's Lake, 
 in Northern Michigan. 
 
 Three children survive her: Mrs. 
 Eulalie Lee Merrill, Cuyler Musgrave 
 Lee, and Donald Musgrave Lee. A 
 younger sister to whom we are in- 
 debted for the above data, writes ; 
 
 " I recall many things she told me 
 of her life in Troy, and of Madam 
 Willard, and of the old world atmo- 
 sphere of stateliness and courtesy 
 which distinguished her." And she 
 further pays this loving tribute to her 
 sister as well. " I believe Madam Wil- 
 lared never had under her charge a 
 girl more beautiful in person and 
 character, nor one more fitted by in- 
 nate and hereditary ladyhood to ap- 
 preciate the training and respond to 
 the strong character and the graces 
 of manner which seem to have made 
 Madam Willard something apart from 
 the ordinary woman."

 Nason, Elizabeth Cassandra, 
 
 Daughter of Edward S. and Cassan- 
 dra, Josephine (Taft) Nason, was born 
 in Worcester, Mass. Her father was 
 a professor of music, and transmitted 
 to his daughter an over-ruling love for 
 the art. At four years of age she 
 sang in his concerts, and at seven she 
 had mastered the different forms of 
 notation, which qualified her to read 
 music at sight. 
 
 She attended Troy Seminary in 1871 
 and 1872, devoting herself closely to 
 the languages. After leaving school 
 she studied music with the best mas- 
 ters in Boston, following which she 
 sang in the churches of Troy and Al- 
 bany, and became the leading soprano 
 in Syracuse, N. Y. In 1874 she trav- 
 eled extensively abroad, finding delight 
 in Wagner's great operas at Beyruth. 
 On her return she sang in Boston, and 
 in her native city, until she again 
 availed herself of European advan- 
 tages, and studied in London, with Mr. 
 William Shakespeare. While there she 
 was engaged by the late Dr. Parry, to 
 sing the role of the Queen, in his Or- 
 atorio of Judith. Dr. Parry, as well as 
 the press, gave her unqualified praise 
 for her grand interpretation of the 
 music and the drama. 
 
 In 1892 she established herself in 
 Philadelphia, under an engagement as 
 Soprano and leader of the Quartette 
 of the Second Presbyterian Church, 
 at the same time devoting herself to 
 her chosen profession, as teacher of 
 singing and vocal-culture. 
 
 Miss Nason's love for the church 
 and sacred music kept her from the 
 stage, although there were few arias

 in the Operas which she had not sung, 
 and she had mastered all the Oratorios.

 classical. While singing was her chief 
 delight, she was an accomplished pi- 
 anist. She was a warm friend of Ed- 
 ward Remenyi, Violinist, and often 
 sang in his concerts.

 " Margaret was the only child of 
 her widowed mother, the joy of her 
 heart, the light of her home. Her 
 life was quiet and uneventful. 
 
 " She was happy in the service of the 
 Master, into whose keeping she had 
 early given all her interests. Faith- 
 fully she filled her allotted place in the 
 household, the church, aud society. 
 Her death seemed an inscrutable deal- 
 ing. 
 
 " Reluctantly leaving her home for 
 a long deferred visit, purposing only 
 an absence of a few hours, she was 
 pursuaded to spend the night away. 
 It was on the day of the ' Johnstown 
 disaster' June i, 1889, and she was 
 borne to death by the wild waters of 
 the hitherto tranquil stream, near her 
 home. The dawn looked upon the 
 dear, still form, whose spirit had risen 
 above the tumult and anguish, to the 
 glorious presence of the God who 
 gave it."

 ville, Va. She bears cheerful testi- 
 mony to the uplifting influence upon 
 the minds and hearts of her sister and 
 herself exerted by Mrs. John Willard 
 and Miss Theodosia Hudson, and be- 
 lieves that there are many throughout 
 our land who have often confessed 
 their obligation to those noble women.

 Daughter of David and Caroline 
 (Houston) Stewart, was born at Black- 
 lick Furnace, Pa.

 lished in Kittanning, Pa. Here she

 Subsequently she engaged as assistant 
 teacher in a private school in Westerly, 
 which took the place of the High 
 school, the public schools at that time 
 not being graded. In i860 she entered 
 Troy Seminary. During the spring 
 of 1 86 1 a disastrous fire brought busi- 
 ness reverses to the firm of which her 
 father was senior member, which mis- 
 fortune rendered her continuance in 
 the Seminary impracticable, and her 
 ambition to fit herself for a teacher 
 seemed doomed to disappointment. 
 Mrs. Willard, with sympathetic appre- 
 ciation of the exigency, kindly pro- 
 posed to Miss Stillman that she remain 
 in school for the completion of the 
 course of study, and meet the expenses 
 of tuition when she should have earned 
 the money by teaching. The proposi- 
 tion was gladly accepted, and she grad- 
 uated in 1862.

 Algebra, Geometry, and Latin in West- 
 erly, and discharged her indebtedness 
 to the Seminary.

 Miss Van O'Linda's simple story of 
 her first acquaintance with Troy Sem- 
 inary furnishes a notable example of 
 youthful energy and perseverance, and 
 
 is an afifectionate and honest tribute to 
 Mrs. John Willard. She says : 
 
 " I had always lived at home in the 
 country. When I was about eighteen 
 I grew ambitious to earn money. I 
 went to Troy and found employment 
 with the firm of Bennett, Hicks & Ed- 
 son, and made my home with Mrs. 
 Thompson, on River Street. There I 
 met some young ladies, pupils of Troy 
 Seminary, who occasionally came to 
 visit some relatives who were boarding 
 in the same house. I became greatly 
 interested in their accounts of their 
 school. On one occasion I expressed a 
 desire to attend the school, but remark- 
 ing at the same time that ' I could n't 
 afford it.' A friend in the house said, 
 'Go and see Mrs. Willard; she will 
 give you the opportunity, and you can 
 repay her afterwards by teaching.' 
 
 " One summer evening Mrs. Thomp- 
 son went with me, and then I saw dear 
 Mrs. John Willard for the first time. 
 She was charming. She listened to 
 my request and we talked the matter 
 over, and when we left it was all ar- 
 ranged that I was to enter school when 
 it opened in the fall, which I did, and 
 my stay there was the happiest portion 
 of my life. 
 
 " I loved my school, and Mrs. Wil- 
 lard was my inspiration. Timid and 
 inexperienced though I was, I could 
 not fail if she with her encouraging 
 glance sat at the other side of the ex- 
 amination-table. 
 
 " She was the loveliest woman I have 
 ever known, and, unconsciously to my- 
 self, she has been my .standard of noble 
 womanhood ever since ; and that is the 
 way that I became a member of Troy 
 Seminary. I have no record to give 
 that will win me fame. I have tried 
 to do my duty faithfully."

 Seminary in 1866, and remained until 
 1867. She gave early evidence of a 
 preference for art studies, and evinced 
 such marked ability in that direction 
 as to justify the purpose of qualifying 
 herself as an artist. To this end she 
 chose to profit by the rare opportuni- 
 ties which Troy Seminary afforded for 
 developing her talent, rather than to 
 enter the class for graduation.

 ford, N. Y., in Beloit, Wis., and in Chi- 
 cago, 111. Miss Waterman reverts with 
 tenderness to her happy school-days in

 Mater. Her home, in 1895, was with 
 her parents at 429 Forty-second Place, 
 Chicago, 111.

 word. In society she won the confi- 
 dence of young and old. In the Con- 
 gregational Church, of which she was 
 a member, the sunshine of her Chris- 
 tian influence gladdened and strength- 
 ened all who knew her. In the Sun- 
 day-school she was a successful teacher, 
 and her own life exemplified the gos- 
 pel of Christ which she taught."

 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Wilcox, Emma Henrietta, 
 
 Daughter of Rodney and Emily (Da- 
 vis) Wilcox, was born in North Litch- 
 field, Herkimer Co., N. Y. Her child- 
 hood was surrounded by the healthful 
 and happy influences of farm life, de- 
 veloping such love for the beautiful in 
 nature as to lead her, in later years, to 
 the study of painting. 
 
 She availed herself of the early edu- 
 cational advantages in the vicinity of 
 her home, and attended the Whites- 
 town Seminary, and in 1869 was a 
 pupil in Troy Seminary. She found 
 much enjoyment in the study of art, 
 which she pursued even after leaving 
 school. 
 
 In 1871 she married Squire G. Shaul, 
 who died in 1894. Their children, two 
 sons and one daughter, Charles W., 
 Frederick G., and Martha H. Shaul, 
 all live in North Bridgewater, N. Y.

 water Art Club, and has been a lover 
 of music. Thoroughly domestic, she 
 has found in her home ample sphere 
 for her varied accomplishments.

 Willard, Harriet, 
 
 Daughter of John H. and Sarah L. 
 Willard, graduated in Troy Seminary 
 with the class of 1863, after which it 
 was her most useful mission to be a 
 valued helper in the school, in having 
 charge of certain general duties for 
 which her clear apprehension and 
 sound judgment specially fitted her. 
 
 After the retirement of the Willard 
 family from the Seminary to a private 
 home, she with characteristic fidelity 
 and efficiency made the household in- 
 terests and responsibilities largely her 
 own. She faithfully shared with her 
 sister Sarah her solicitudes and unre- 
 mitting care of their parents and their 
 aunt. Miss Hudson, until her own im- 
 paired health retired her to a quiet life, 
 which is comforted by the loving and 
 sympathetic companionship of her sis- 
 ter Sarah. Her home alternates be- 
 tween the family residence in Troy, a 
 place of tender and sad associations 
 for her, and a congenial abiding-place 
 which the two sisters have made for 
 themselves in Greenfield, Mass. 
 
 Willard, Katharine Aldis, 
 
 Daughter of John H. and Sarah L. 
 Willard, graduated from Troy Semi- 
 nary in 1865. Her connection with the

 a well-known, successful banker and 
 broker, of New York city. Their fam- 
 ily consists of four children, two sons 
 and two daughters : John W., Gaillard 
 T., Anna W., and Katharine H. Laps- 
 ley. One of the sons is a professor at 
 Harvard.

 Her cares and responsibilities as 
 matron and mother seem not to have 
 lessened the winsome attractiveness of 
 girlhood, but rather to have crowned 
 it with grace and dignity. In her hap- 
 py household Mrs. Lapsley consistently 
 exemplifies her excellent mother's do- 
 mestic creed, that a woman's home is 
 an ample theatre for the exercise of 
 her highest attainments and possibili- 
 ties. In her broad culture and cordial 
 sympathy with current issues, she hon- 
 ors the traditions of her illustrious 
 grandmother, and is a member of the 
 Emma Willard Association which has 
 for its object the dissemination of her 
 principles and precepts. 
 
 The family residence is at 12 West 
 Thirty-seventh Street, New York city. 
 Their summer home is at Narraganset 
 Pier. 
 
 Address, in 1898, Mrs. Howard Laps- 
 ley, 12 West Thirty-seventh Street,

 Youngest daughter of John H. and 
 Sarah L. Willard, was a graduate of

 Before this date some symptoms of 
 that insidious disease, consumption, 
 had manifested themselves, and the 
 ensuing summer was spent in Euro- 
 pean travel, accompanied by her pa- 
 rents and sisters, Sarah and Harriet. 
 But the hoped-for benefit was not real- 
 ized, and before the year had passed 
 death had claimed her. 
 
 Her sunny and affectionate disposi- 
 tion had endeared her to all, and her 
 early demise, in 1868, in the very 
 morning of her happy life, was deeply 
 mourned. To-day the memory of Mar- 
 cia Willard is tenderly cherished in 
 the hearts of her school friends.

 married Merritt Barber, Lieut. Colonel 
 U. S. A. Through the changes and 
 migrations of military life, she is not 
 established in a permanent home, but 
 may be always addressed:

 Winslow, Anna Louise, 
 
 Daughter of Augustus Sydenham 
 and Susan Louise (Jackson) Winslow, 
 was born in Troy, N. Y. 
 
 Her later home was in Cincinnati, O., 
 but much of her early life was passed 
 in Troy. She was a pupil of Troy 
 Seminary in 1862 and 1863, while the 
 family residence was in Cincinnati. 
 
 In 1873 she married J. C. Mallery, 
 Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., and had 
 two sons : Winslow Mallery, and Otto 
 Tod Mallery, who live in Philadelphia. 
 An infant son, John Conrad Mallery, 
 died in 1884. Mrs. Mallery, after mar- 
 riage, followed the fortunes of her hus-

 he was ordered by the government, liv- 
 ing successively at West Point, San 
 Francisco, Willett's Point, Long Island, 
 and lastly in Boston, Mass., where the 
 family resided at the time of her death 
 in 1884. This sad event transpired at 
 her father's home in Cincinnati. 
 
 Her husband, Maj. Mallery, has re- 
 tired from active service and is now

 reside. 
 
 Witbeck, Elizabeth M., 
 
 Daughter of Francis M. and Jane 
 (May) Witbeck, was a pupil in Troy, 
 N. Y. 
 
 She was a pupil in Troy Seminary 
 during the last decade. 
 
 She married, in 1872, Dr. P. J. Mc- 
 Cort, of Troy, and died in Troy in 
 1875. 
 
 Witbeck, Emma C, 
 
 Daughter of Henry W. and Barbara 
 Witbeck, was born in Greenbush, N. Y. 
 
 She pursued her earlier education in 
 the New York Conference Seminary, 
 of Charlotteville, and at Graefenberg, 
 studying Latin under Mr. Roof. In 
 1 86 1 she entered Troy Seminary, where 
 she graduated in 1870. 
 
 On leaving school she devoted her- 
 self to the work of Foreign Missions, 
 under the auspices of the Dutch Re- 
 formed Church, of which she was a 
 member. She filled the position of 
 Principal of Ferris' Seminary, in Yoko- 
 hama, Japan, for six years. 
 
 In 1885 she married the Rev. Milton 
 S. Vail, of New York, a missionary 
 whose field was in Tokio, Japan, and 
 had four children. A daughter is now 
 being educated in Auburndale, Mass., 
 where she was left by her parents at 
 the age of nine years. 
 
 This fact forcibly impresses us with 
 the sacrifice which our foreign mission- 
 aries must make for the cause to which 
 they consecrate their lives, in their sep- 
 aration from their children. 
 
 The home of Mrs. Vail, in 1896, was 
 in Nagasaki, Japan. Her mother, Mrs. 
 Henry Witbeck, may be addressed at

 Here she studied under a governess 
 for three years, and was then sent to a 
 boarding school in Bedford, under the 
 care of the Rev. Robert Bolton, of 
 England. After three years in this 
 school she entered Troy Seminary in 
 1862, and graduated in 1865. 
 
 With a taste and aptitude for paint- 
 ing, she has studied under Eliza Great- 
 orex, Wm De Haas, Julie Hart Beers, 
 Herr Kauffman, and Walter Satterlee. 
 
 In 1873 she married David Fitz 
 Randolph Runyon. Of two children, 
 only the daughter survives.

 Embracing data received too late for classification in decades. 
 
 Andrews, Jane Ann, 
 
 The brief record of Jane Ann An- 
 drews on page 128 conveys to the gen- 
 eral reader no adequate impression of 
 the useful and happy life of one of the 
 most worthy and beloved pupils and 
 teachers of Troy Seminary. 
 
 A characteristic aversion to notoriety 
 has made the subject of this sketch re- 
 luctant to communicate the incidents 
 of her life to our general Secretary. 
 
 But the desire to honor her father's 
 memory, to whose instruction she be- 
 lieves she owes her success in her pro- 
 fession, and the benevolent hope that 
 the story of her achievement may give 
 encouragement to others who must, as 
 she has done, "build the ladder by 
 which they rise " — have induced her 
 to give the requisite data for this out- 
 line of her truly brilliant career. 
 
 Prof. John C. Andrews, father of 
 Jane, was for many years Conductor 
 and Instructor of the musical depart- 
 ment in Troy Seminary, and later filled 
 the chair of professor of music in Cam- 
 den Institute, Alabama. 
 
 His daughters, who inherited his 
 tastes and talents, were pupils in the 
 Seminary, and were early qualified to 
 teach vocal and instrumental music, to 
 sing in church choirs or serve as Or- 
 ganists, and to render creditable aid 
 in their father's concerts, which he fre- 
 quently gave not only in Troy, but in 
 other cities as well. Indeed, at the 
 time of which we write, the family 
 might have been designated like the 
 Lindley family in England (one of 
 
 whom became the wife of Sheridan) as 
 " a nest of nightingales." 
 
 Jane was one of numerous brothers 
 and sisters— the eldest daughter, and 
 her ingenuous statement concerning 
 her first school-days, that she went when 
 she " could be spared from home," indi- 
 cate that she began when a mere child 
 to share home responsibilities. Like 
 many another devotee of his art, Prof. 
 Andrews was more a musician than 
 financier, and the imperative needs of 
 a numerous household rigorously tested 
 the family exchequer. There were 
 sons and younger daughters, who 
 through their inherited talents were 
 enabled to render their father material 
 assistance. 
 
 In a letter written by Harriet S. 
 Andrews (whose sketch appears else- 
 where) to her sister Jane, one is im- 
 pressed with the zeal of the family in 
 their chosen profession, and discharge 
 of filial duty. She says, " After my 
 husband's death I was father's assist- 
 ant during his life in the Camden In- 
 stitute. I suppose I was there nine 
 or ten years altogether, and then my 
 health failed. 
 
 " In Camden I played the organ, and 
 with my daughter Jennie and Mrs. 
 Dawson attended to all the care of our 
 little Episcopal Church, sweeping and 
 dusting, etc. Mrs. Dawson brought 
 the wood for a fire in the front of her 
 carriage, and supplied the communion 
 table. Jennie rung the bell." 
 
 But upon the elder sister Jane 
 seemed to rest from her girlhood the 
 
802 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 responsibility of standing bravely by 
 her father, and with her marvellous 
 voice and magnetic personality enhanc- 
 ing his reputation by her own incom- 
 parable execution, and opening to her- 
 self a career in which the most ambi- 
 tious might rejoice. 
 
 She was not yet seventeen years of 
 age when the Principal and a Trustee 
 of Castleton (Vt.) Seminary came to 
 Troy, and to Prof. Andrews, in quest 
 of a teacher of vocal and instrumental 
 music for that institution. Miss An- 
 drews was sent for a year, being too 
 young to take the position in Troy 
 Female Seminary, as had been expect- 
 ed. She had, at Castleton, a large class 
 of pupils, and beside, was Organist in 
 the Congregational Church of Castle- 
 ton. At the end of the year the Prin- 
 cipal offered her an increase of salary, 
 and instruction in any of the higher 
 branches of study that she would select. 
 Providentially, as has seemed, Madame 
 Emma Willard had decided, during 
 the year, to give the young girl a posi- 
 tion as teacher in her institution, with a 
 larger compensation than that received 
 at Castleton : this, with the salary as 
 first soprano in the Second Presbyterian 
 Church, Dr. Snodgrass pastor, ena- 
 bled her to meet some of those earn- 
 est desires which she had cherished, 
 in aid of her father and his large fam- 
 ily. 
 
 During every vacation, winter, spring 
 or summer, her father, her brother 
 James W., her sister Harriet, and her- 
 self would make extended concert 
 tours, frequently giving six entertain- 
 ments in a week. She bears loving 
 tribute to this brother, for his sympa- 
 thetic appreciation and his care-taking 
 in her accompaniments, and she holds 
 in kindly remembrance the orchestras 
 
 which contributed to the success of 
 these and her later years. Before she 
 was twenty-one years of age she had 
 sung in many hundred concerts. 
 
 Signor Antognini came to Troy, and 
 heard Miss Andrews sing in St. Paul's 
 Church, where she then was leading 
 soprano. After service he called at 
 her home, and wished her to go to 
 Montreal to sing in two concerts which 
 were to be given " under the patronage 
 of His Excellency, Lord Metcalfe, Gov- 
 ernor-General." This was in the year 
 1845 : her father acceded to this re- 
 quest, he and his son James W. also 
 taking part ; Miss Andrews sang with 
 Signor Antognini a duet. La Serenata, 
 of his composing. 
 
 Later in the season Signor Antogni- 
 ni came again to engage her services 
 for two concerts to be given by Kings' 
 College in Toronto, in honor of the 
 Queen : the performers were to be 
 Signor Antognini, Herr Meyers, and 
 Miss Northall, with whom Miss An- 
 drews took the second soprano part, in 
 quartette from Stabat Mater, and duet 
 with Signor Antognini, from opera 
 Tancredi. Toronto papers, in mention 
 of these concerts said, " The little Troy 
 girl was the star of the evening." 
 
 Antognini was desirous that she 
 should go to Havana, to sing in opera ; 
 he offered her $700 a month, and a 
 benefit concert at close of the season ; 
 but her mother was so opposed to the 
 daughter becoming an opera singer, 
 that his plan was never carried into 
 effect. 
 
 Miss Andrews' first appearance, how- 
 ever, in grand concert, was under the 
 auspices of some ladies of Troy, to one 
 of whom she was indebted for first in- 
 struction in Italian, and to another for 
 her first concert dress ; and also to these 
 
ADDENDA.

 ladies for many kind and helpful atten- 
 tions. 
 
 A Beethoven Club was organized in 
 Troy by Prof. Andrews, at whose con- 
 certs his daughter was the solo vocalist 
 during the years she was in Troy. 
 Many newspaper testinaonials of these 
 concerts are still preserved. In them 
 are these words, referring to Miss An- 
 drews : " her pure and mellow soprano 
 tones are excelled by those of no living 
 cantatrice. This gifted young woman 
 has musical capacity second to no art- 
 ist living : we claim for her as fine a 
 musical organization as ever came from 
 power divine." 
 
 When Jenny Lind gave her last con- 
 certs in this country, she sent, through 
 a member of the orchestra, an invita- 
 tion to Miss Andrews, to sing with her 
 the famous duet from Norma, soprano 
 and mezzo soprano, at a concert. She 
 appreciated the honor, but thought best 
 to decline. 
 
 Afterward she was honored by a 
 special invitation to call on Miss Lind, 
 which she did, and was asked to go 
 abroad for instruction ; but it seemed 
 to her conscientious heart her duty to 
 remain near her family. 
 
 In 1846 her impaired health induced 
 her physician. Dr. James Thorn, of 
 Troy, to advise a change of air. Prov- 
 identially at this juncture Dr. Alonzo 
 Crittenden and Hon. Cyrus P. Smith, 
 of Brooklyn, applied to her father in 
 Troy to secure her services as teacher 
 of vocal and instrumental music in the 
 Brooklyn Female Academy, now the 
 Packer Collegiate Institute, and as so- 
 prano in the choir of the First Presby- 
 terian Church, all under one salary. 
 Their proposition was accepted and in 
 :^ebruary 23, 1846, she began her pro- 
 fessional life in Brooklyn. In 1877 she 
 
 married the late Richard J. Dodge, an 
 Elder in the church, and a member of 
 the firm of Dodge & Olcott, Wholesale 
 Druggists, of New York. Mr. Dodge 
 died in 1891. 
 
 To the Packer Institute, and many 
 dear friends in Brooklyn is due, un- 
 der Providence, the success attained 
 through the many years of her resi- 
 dence there. 
 
 At the close of a season of arduous 
 work in Brooklyn, she received notice 
 that the Trojans v/ere preparing to 
 give a last complimentary concert to 
 Prof. Andrews, before his departure to 
 take charge of the musical department 
 in Camden (Ala.) Institute. Although 
 her physician and friends charged her 
 on no account to sing, as she was in 
 absolute need of rest, she felt it was 
 her duty, even at great risk, to aid her 
 father in this his last concert before 
 their separation. As in a similar ex- 
 perience in the life of Jenny Lind, 
 her voice, suddenly, at the close of the 
 last encore, was gone : she had, at 
 once, lost all use and control of her 
 hitherto admirable organ, and mourned 
 her voice as irrecoverable. With 
 many, less trustful, despair would have 
 usurped the place of hope. But with 
 her there was a better hope than this : 
 
 " ' Were there no palm beyond a feverish fame ? 
 
 She asked herself if beyond 
 The grave there is no heaven, in whose wide air 
 The spirit may find room, and in the love 
 Of whose bright habitants this lavish heart 
 May spend itself?" 
 
 Her confidence was in an All- Wise 
 Creator, and after three or four years 
 of retirement, she returned from the 
 home of her father in Alabama much 
 improved in health, and her voice so 
 long hushed in quietness was given to 
 
8o4 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 her witla all its former strength and 
 sweetness. Many of the difficulties 
 which she had striven for years to 
 surmount, were now removed, and she 
 attained an excellence in the execution 
 of vocal music that astonished her 
 most intimate friends. Her great forte 
 seemed to be in the singing of English 
 ballads, into which she threw a feeling 
 and pathos that we never heard ex- 
 celled. 
 
 In addition to rest in a southern 
 climate, Mrs. Dodge attributes her re- 
 covery of health to the care and treat- 
 ment of Dr. Blakeman, of New York, 
 and restoration of voice to the training- 
 received from Signer Bassini. Hear- 
 ing of Bassini's wonderful skill in re- 
 storing voices, she placed herself under 
 his care, without disclosing that she 
 had any special knowledge or ability 
 in singing. He soon learned to his 
 astonishment that his patient was well 
 known to musical professionals, both 
 American and foreign. 
 
 After her recovery. Miss Andrews 
 continued to teach music, vocal and in- 
 strumental, up to the date of her mar- 
 riage, her time being always occupied, 
 teaching all day long. 
 
 Of these pupils, six at least were for 
 a Thanksgiving offering, her mission 
 work, as she has termed it. With the 
 hope of benefitting her pupils, she con- 
 ceived the plan of having them placed 
 under the care and training of a first- 
 class choir master, Mr. Joseph P. Hol- 
 brook; this led to supplementing the 
 quartette in various churches, with the 
 chorus choir. 
 
 Since becoming a widow, Mrs. Dodge 
 has resumed the teaching of music, 
 and in this work seems to find her chief 
 happiness and gratification in helping 
 others to the restoration of their al- 
 
 most hopelessly wrecked voices ; using 
 always Bassini's method, called " Art 
 of Singing." A pupil of Miss Andrews 
 who had used this method, a Miss Mary 
 Crawford, went to Mme. La Grange, in 
 Paris, for instruction. Madame was so 
 pleased with her voice and proficiency 
 that she afterward referred to her as 
 "la Mile, avec la belle voix." 
 
 The years have dealt kindly with 
 Mrs. Dodge. Though no longer young, 
 she has a cheerful heart, and her voice 
 has not lost its sweetness. The old- 
 time charm of manner still remains, 
 endearing her to her pupils, as many a 
 letter to the "beloved teacher" bears 
 witness. 
 
 A beautiful spirit of thankfulness 
 pervades her daily life — grateful to her 
 God for the glorious voice which has 
 enabled her to give joy to so many, 
 and to her father who prepared her 
 for her remarkable career. A charm- 
 ing portrait of Mrs. Dodge, entitled 
 " Our Jennie," painted by Moore, and 
 presented to her father, Prof. Andrews, 
 by citizens of Troy, has been given by 
 Mrs. Dodge to Russell Sage Hall, in 
 Troy. 
 
 Mrs. Dodge has been a long time 
 connected with the First Presbyterian 
 Church in Brooklyn, and in these days 
 of dogmas and disputations her faith 
 and trust in her Heavenly Father are 
 unshaken. 
 
 Her home, in i8g8, was at 280 Brook- 
 lyn Boulevard, N. Y.

 Daughter of Prof. John E. and Jane

 cal tastes, and was qualified as a teacher 
 in that branch, often assisting her father 
 in his classes and appearing in his mu- 
 sicales. 
 
 She taught two or three years in 
 Camden Institute, Camden, Ala. 
 
 In 1853 she married John E. Bishop. 
 Of their four children, two sons are 
 now living. 
 
 In 1 898 her address was, Mrs. Katha- 
 rine Louise Bishop, Northport, L. I. 
 
 Andrews, Elvira St. John, 
 
 Younger sister of Jane Andrews, was 
 born in Albany, N. Y. Later her fam- 
 ily moved to Troy, where she was a 
 pupil in Troy Seminary from 1844 to 
 1847. 
 
 She shared with her sisters the in- 
 heritance of musical ability. She pos- 
 sessed a fine contralto voice, and while 
 her father was the Organist and her 
 sister Harriet first Soprano in Christ 
 Church of Troy, she sang with them. 
 
 In 1849 she married William L. Put- 
 nam, of Saratoga. His father was the 
 owner of Putnam Spring. 
 
 Mr. Putnam died a few years after 
 marriage, leaving a son and a daughter. 
 The daughter married, and resides in 
 New York. 
 
 By a second marriage Mrs. Putnam 
 became the wife of Robert Patterson, 
 owner of Patterson Spring, at Saratoga. 
 
 She led a quiet life in Saratoga, and 
 died about 1889. Mr. Patterson died

 In 1834 she married John Hall, of 
 Troy, N. Y., and lived there until 1848, 
 
 after which date the family home was

 from Troy Seminary with marked dis- 
 tinction in 1858, and soon after assumed 
 the duties and responsibilities of a

 teacher, for -whicli she was eminently 
 fitted both by nature and thorough cul- 
 ture. Her heart was full of sympathy, 
 and her influence was ever a power for 
 good. 
 
 She spent several years following 
 her graduation as a teacher in the 
 Southern States, but returned to the 
 North soon after the breaking out of 
 the Civil War, to a position in the Sem- 
 inary from which she had graduated. 
 She was one of the last of the Northern 
 teachers to leave the South, at which 
 time Eastern navigation was closed, 
 which compelled her to secure a pass 
 from the Governor, and, at a largely 
 increased expense, reach her home via 
 the Mississippi River. 
 
 Impaired health at length obliged 
 her to suspend her work, and she spent 
 a year in rest, after which she found 
 herself so invigorated by mountain air 
 as to enable her to accept a position in 
 the Female Seminary in Buffalo, N. Y. 
 
 A brother, M. L. Crittenden, was a 
 resident of Buffalo, with whom Miss 
 Crittenden lived for several years. 
 
 She was called from Buffalo to Vas- 
 sar College, but here once more her 
 failing health compelled her retire- 
 ment. She travelled extensively in 
 Europe, devoting herself to a critical 
 study of art in the Old World. On 
 her return to her brother's home in 
 Buffalo she shared with her friends 
 the benefits of her foreign tour, de- 
 lighting many intellectual audiences 
 both in Buffalo and other cities with 
 instructional talks of what she had 
 learned in her journeyings. She dis- 
 coursed upon Ancient and Modern 
 Rome, beginning with the Forum and 
 ending with the Vatican. 
 
 She rarely wrote out a paper, but 
 made herself master of every feature 
 
 of her subject, and then spoke clearly, 
 without notes, and with great magnetic 
 force and fluent and eloquent speech. 
 
 Miss Crittenden was profoundly re- 
 ligious. Every good cause appealed to 
 her. At one time through her efforts 
 means enough were raised in the Pres- 
 byterian Church in and about Buffalo 
 to build a church in Utah. The news 
 of its completion and dedication was 
 received by her with great joy while 
 in Europe. 
 
 The life of this notable and superior 
 woman was suddenly ended on May 8, 
 1890. She died after five days illness 
 at the residence of a brother, David B. 
 Crittenden, a prominent and honored 
 citizen of New Haven, Conn., who, 
 smitten with the same fatal disease, 
 pneumonia, preceded his sister to the 
 grave by a brief fortnight. Miss Crit- 
 tenden's interment was in Charlemont, 
 Mass., where the family had formerly 
 lived. 
 
 Referring to her death, the " Buffalo 
 Commercial " justly said, " It would be 
 difficult to name another possessing a 
 character so large and so simple, so 
 penetrated and inspired with love to 
 God and all God's creatures. 
 
 " A more brilliant or original mind 
 is rarely known, and it has been im- 
 proved by much study and travel. 
 
 " Her soul was on fire with that ' en- 
 thusiasm of humanity' which knows 
 no rest except in earnest labor for the 
 good of men. Her intellectual and 
 spiritual sympathies were broad and 
 instinct with life." 
 
 The subjoined sprightly verses, ad- 
 dressed to " Lucy," by her friend, Mrs. 
 Celia W. Burr, at one time companion

 Willard, and who later became Mrs.

 foregoing sketch. 
 
 LUCY. 
 Wait a minute at the doorway yonder, 
 You will see the swaying of her dress, 
 Then herself emerging from the shadow, 
 Glad with sunshine and the May's caress. 
 There she stands, her morning dress and mantle 
 Making space between her and the world ; 
 Shutting in the soul's unsullied whiteness, 
 Like the sweets in unblown lilies furled. 
 Mark her bearing as she stands a moment, 
 Head turned backward for a parting word. 
 Eager foot advanced and arched for going. 
 White hand fluttering outward like a bird ; 
 Hear her step, elastic, full of vigor. 
 Will and purpose in its cadence shown. 
 Garden-walk and hall and winding stairway 
 Giving back its clear emphatic tone. 
 Quick, decisive, on the door her summons 
 Craves admittance, will not brook delay ; 
 Come, my darling, welcome as the sunshine, 
 Birds to summer or the flower to May ; 
 Eyes of azure, looking straight before them, 
 Blinking nothing, sparing no pretense. 
 Pressing home their mute interrogations, 
 Charming truth, integrity and sense ; 
 Voice peculiar — sweet enough for praising, 
 Clear and ringing as a silver bell ; 
 Eager protest, trills of sudden laughter, 
 Deeps of feeling alternating well. 
 Strong and true, and brave and earnest-hearted, 
 God will bless thee, darling ! Go thy way : 
 Choicest gifts and holiest benedictions 
 Wait to crown thy future, day by day. 
 Work awaits thee — care and toil for others. 
 Self-denial, stern affliction's rod, 
 Joy at length, the fruit of patient waiting, 
 Christian graces and the peace of God. 
 
 Cutler, Mary F., 
 
 Daughter of Capt. Benjamin and 
 Mary Niles (Fox) Cutler, was born in

 Kimball Union Academy in 1853, go- 
 ing in October of the same year to 
 Troy Seminary for the year 1854. Her

 An aunt of Mr. Atwood, Miss Zilpha 
 Atwood, was an early pupil of Mrs. 
 Willard in Middlebury, Vt., and possi- 
 bly in Troy afterwards. She became 
 a successful teacher. 
 
 In 1833 she married John P. Blake, 
 and took up her residence in Henne-

 Hopkins, Sarah Frances, 
 
 Daughter of Edward and Elizabeth 
 (Guy) Hopkins, was born in Woolwich, 
 England. Her connection with Troy 
 Seminary dates from 1845 to 1847. 
 
 Her data are so replete with inter- 
 esting incident, giving the key-note to 
 a career which through many vicissi- 
 tudes has successfully administered a 
 useful, unselfish, and cheerful life, that 
 we venture to transfer to these pages 
 her own modest chapter of personal 
 history. 
 
 " My father, Edward Hopkins, an 
 honest man, the noblest work of God, 
 was born in Rotherhithe, Surrey, Eng- 
 land, March 19, 1805. A skilled me- 
 chanic, he could turn his hand to any- 
 thing he desired to accomplish. He 
 was a good musician and played excel- 
 lently well on violin and violincello, 
 and had a sweet-toned voice of unusual 
 compass. He had a fine mind with a 
 clear insight into things, a judgment 
 almost infallible in its conclusions, and 
 withal a heart so warm and tender that 
 mine has never ceased to mourn for 
 him through all the years that have 
 elapsed since he was called home. He 
 died February 9, 1853. 
 
 " My mother, Elizabeth Guy, was 
 born in Lyme Regis, Dorsetshire, Eng- 
 land. She was the daughter of Bar- 
 nard Guy, a miller living at Millwall, 
 a suburb of London. He was one of 
 the gentlest of men, whose holy life 
 bore witness to the guiding power 
 
 which was at once his safeguard and 
 defence. 
 
 " The last year we were in England 
 I spent in his house, and through all 
 my subsequent life I have ever borne 
 in grateful remembrance the holy 
 teaching of that gracious time when 
 he held me in his arms and taught my 
 infant lips to repeat after him, 
 
 " See Israel's gentle Shepherd stands 
 With all engaging charms, 
 Hark ! how he calls the tender lambs 
 And folds them in his arms.'' 
 
 God spared our mother to us until May 
 12, 1880. 
 
 " At four years of age, while at my 
 grandfather's in England, I attended 
 the school of Mrs. Skinner, where I 
 was taught to read and sew. I have 
 still the remnants of my book ' The 
 Oxford Reading Made Easy,' and as I 
 look at it now, I wonder if the ordi- 
 nary little pupil of to-day would be 
 able to decipher it. 
 
 " I fear the long ss and the direful 
 contents (which mostly related to the 
 misdemeanors of bad boys, the punish- 
 ments inflicted, and the tombstones 
 erected over those who were so unfor- 
 tunate as to lose their lives as a pen- 
 alty for their disobedience) would dis- 
 courage and render my book uninter- 
 esting. 
 
 " Mrs. Skinner not only taught school 
 but ' kept house ' at the same time. I 
 remember the ironing - table and the 
 various avocations that claimed her at- 
 tention, but she found time to teach us 
 how to read and to sew. I could sew 
 overhand, hem, and 'fell,' and made 
 several garments entirely before I left 
 her care, and it seems to me I could 
 always read. 
 
 "When I was five years old we came 
 to America and settled in Troy, N. Y. 
 We were four little children and we 
 
8io 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 were sent to an Infant School kept by- 
 Miss Fox, assisted by Miss Murdock. 
 
 ''At eleven years of age I was sent 
 to the Walnut Grove School, corner of 
 Eighth and Grand Division Streets. 
 The building was one of the three 
 Vanderheyden farm houses that were 
 the nucleus of the city of Troy. The 
 school ^¥as kept by Mr. Lyman Cross. 
 
 " Not being well, I was taken out of 
 school, but when mother found I was 
 getting up at four o'clock in the morn- 
 ing to study ' Watt's on The Mind,' 
 and 'Abercrombie's Moral Philosophy,' 
 she said I might teach the little ones, 
 rightly concluding that an employment 
 so congenial would be more conducive 
 to growth and improvement than my 
 futile efforts to grasp subjects of which 
 my immaturity could have little com- 
 prehension. 
 
 " In September 1 845 I entered Troy 
 Seminary and continued there for two 
 years — two years fraught with an in- 
 terest so outreaching that to-day it 
 seems to have been my life's inspira- 
 tion. . . . 
 
 " In 1848 I began to teach a private 
 school in our own home in the north- 
 ern part of the city, which I continued 
 for twelve years. 
 
 " In i860 1 came to Kalamazoo to visit 
 my sister, Mrs. VsToodhams. I re- 
 mained two years, after which I re- 
 turned to Troy and for several months 
 taught a school upon my uncle's farm 
 in Brunswick. 
 
 " In 1862 I again came to Kalamazoo, 
 remaining three years with my sister 
 and sharing her care of her family of 
 little children. But the ties which 
 bound me to Troy were still strong, 
 and in 1865 the yearning for the old 
 home drew me back to my mother and 
 other sisters. 
 
 " It seemed expedient in 1866 for the 
 entire family to make a final removal 
 to Kalamazoo, and the ultimate mar- 
 riage of my sisters, who in my previ- 
 ous absence had cared for our mother, 
 devolved upon me the support of my 
 mother and myself. 
 
 " I opened a little store which after 
 two years was devoured by flames. 
 Following that calamity, I was for six- 
 teen years clerk and book-keeper in 
 the music store of Mr. Woodhams, my 
 brother-in-law, during which time I 
 also taught music. 
 
 " The store closed in 1 884, since which 
 date the family has lived some two 
 and a half miles out of Kalamazoo, 
 where Mrs. Woodham's sons are con- 
 ducting a market garden which fur- 
 nishes employment for all, and where 
 we cultivate fruit, flowers, vegetables 
 and health, striving to forget that we 
 would like a little more leisure and a 
 few more opportunities." 
 
 Miss Hopkins' church affiliations 
 have been with the Baptist denomina- 
 tions since her early years. 
 
 She is a zealous member of the Em- 
 ma Willard Association, and in the 
 collection of material for the " Bio- 
 graphical Record," she has been one 
 of the most efficient of secretaries. 
 
 Address, in 1898, Miss Sarah F. Hop- 
 kins, Box 557, Kalamazoo, Mich. 
 
 Peck, Elizabeth Wildraan, 
 
 Daughter of Eleazer Adams and 
 Lucy Elizabeth (Wildman) Peck, was 
 born in Hartford, Conn. Her father 
 was identified with the Connecticut 
 Mutual Life Insurance Company for a 
 long period of years. Her mother was 
 a native of Connecticut. 
 
 When Elizabeth was four years old 
 her parents took up their residence in

 8ii 
 
 Troy, N. Y., where slie attended its 
 excellent private schools preparatory 
 to entering Troy Seminary in 1854. 
 She pursued the full course and grad- 
 uated in i860. 
 
 In 1865 she married Amasa Richard 
 Moore, of Troy. Since marriage the 
 family residence has been in Lansing- 
 burgh and Troy. 
 
 An only son, Charles Adams, died in 
 infancy. Three daughters are living : 
 Lucy Peck, Frances Elizabeth, and 
 Clara Boughton Moore. Lucy Eliza- 
 beth graduated from the New York 
 Normal School in Albany in 1889. 
 Frances graduated from Troy Female 
 Seminary in 1895, and the youngest 
 daughter Clara was a graduate of the 
 Emma Willard School in 1896. 
 
 The daughters of Mrs. Moore may 
 justly claim an inheritance of contin- 
 uous intellectual training along the 
 lines of Mrs. Willard's teachings. A 
 grand aunt, Mrs. Phebe (Movers) Skin- 
 ner, of Plattsburgh, N. Y., was a pupil 
 of Mrs. Willard in Middlebury, Vt., in 
 1 8 14. Their grandmother, Mrs. Lucy 
 (Wildman) Peck, attended Troy Sem- 
 inary in 183s and 1836. 
 
 Added to the conscientious supervi- 
 sion of her daughters' education, Mrs. 
 Moore has been faithful in a self cul- 
 ture that has qualified her for an intel- 
 ligent usefulness in her varied rela- 
 tions. 
 
 She is zealously enlisted in charita- 
 ble organizations, and the missionary 
 associations of the church. 
 
 She is a member of the Emma Wil- 
 lard Association, and has been one of 
 its industrious and efficient secretaries 
 for collecting data of former pupils of 
 Troy Seminary. 
 
 Address, in 1898, Mrs. Amasa R. 
 Moore, 60 Ferry St., Troy, N. Y. 
 
 Phelps, Helen M., 
 
 Was the eldest daughter of Hon. 
 John and Lucy ( Lovel ) Phelps, of 
 Guilford, Vt. 
 
 She was a pupil in Troy Seminary 
 in the early twenties. About 1827 she 
 became the Preceptress of the young 
 ladies' department of Hamilton Acad- 
 emy. In proof of her successful career 
 as a teacher, and her influence as an 
 intelligent and noble woman, we quote 
 from a tribute paid to her memory in 
 the " Madison County Herald " of July 
 24, 1897 : 
 
 " Her influence came to be strangely 
 felt not only in the school but through- 
 out the village and surrounding coun- 
 try. Her culture and moral elevation 
 united with dignity of manner were 
 conspicuous. She was truly a light 
 and reflected her light even in walk- 
 ing to and from school. It was dur- 
 ing her administration that the school 
 reached its highest point of excellence. 
 At that time it was not supposed that 
 great fame could come from a female 
 school, but it did come from the ladies' 
 department of Hamilton Academy un- 
 der Miss Helen M. Phelps, a fame 
 which was ably sustained by her suc- 
 cessor. Miss Esther Treadwell, also an 
 early pupil of Mrs. Willard. While at 
 the head of Hamilton Academy, Miss 
 Phelps fitted one after another of her 
 younger sisters for Troy Seminary. 
 
 The late Harriette A. Dillaye, the 
 first Vice-President of the Emma Wil- 
 lard Association, was a pupil of Miss 
 Phelps in Hamilton Academy, and it 
 was under her influence that she be- 
 came inspired with an intellectual am- 
 bition and the ennobling purpose of 
 qualifying herself for the life work of 
 a teacher. In the high mental and 
 moral standards of Miss Phelps, Miss 
 
8l2 
 
 EMMA WILLARD AND HER PUPILS. 
 
 Dillaye realized in the fullest sense 
 that knowledge is power, and forth- 
 with set herself diligently to the ac- 
 quirement of that higher education 
 which so eminently qualified her for 
 her profession. In the influences of 
 Miss Phelps' life we plainly see that 
 the seed of Emma Willard's aims and 
 methods fell on good ground bringing 
 forth its hundred fold. 
 
 After leaving Hamilton, Miss Phelps 
 was Principal of a school in Brooklyn, 
 N. Y., and still later filled a like posi- 
 tion in Philadelphia. 
 
 Her unremitting labors at length 
 undermined her health and compelled 
 her retirement in i860, in which year 
 she passed several months at the home 
 of Mrs. Lincoln Phelps in Baltimore. 
 Later she took up her residence with 
 her sister Stella, Mrs. Hatfield, of Ala- 
 bama, and remained with her until her 
 death, which occurred in 1861 or 1862. 
 
 Rockwell, Fanny S., 
 
 Daughter of Dr. Wells A. and Lucy 
 (Ames) Rockwell, was born in Goshen, 
 Mass. ; removed from Goshen to West 
 Troy, and attended Troy Seminary 
 during 1836, 1837, and 1838. Subse- 
 quently she taught in Cleveland, O., 
 and in Kalamazoo, Mich. 
 
 In 1857 she was married in Covert, 
 N. Y., by the Rev. O. H. Gregory, of 
 West Troy, to Levi Lewis Douglass, a 
 lumber dealer of Port Dover, Ontario. 
 
 An only daughter, Lucy Rockwell, 
 became the wife of Prof. Thomas Louis 
 Brown, of the State Normal School of 
 Greensboro, N. C. 
 
 Mrs. Douglass died in 1889 in Grand- 
 ville, Mich. 
 
 Rockwell, Mary E., 
 
 Sister of Fanny S. Rockwell, was 
 born in West Troy, and was a pupil of 
 
 Troy Seminary in 1839 and 1840. She 
 married James Riley Pratt, of Covert, 
 N. Y. 
 
 Lucy Irene Pratt, a daughter of this 
 marriage, was in Troy Seminary in 
 1865. Mrs. Pratt died in 1881. 
 
 Thomas, Mary Halsey. 
 
 The following tribute to the mem- 
 ory of Mrs. Mary Halsey (Thomas) 
 Cook, whose record appears on page 
 244, is the testimonial of a friend of 
 many years, written at the time of the 
 death of Mrs. Cook : 
 
 " It is now nearly forty years since 
 she and her distinguished husband 
 came to live among us. In all that 
 time she has gone in and out before 
 this people with a heart ready to pity 
 and hands ready to help. She has 
 been the centre of her home for a hus- 
 band whom all men honored, and for 
 children who loved and cherished her. 
 To those who came within the sphere 
 of her friendship she evinced always a 
 spirit of unselfishness, and qualities of 
 mind equal to the brilliant career to 
 which she was destined. She was in 
 truth the wise woman of the Proverbs 
 ' who builded her house.' 
 
 ■' Learned and accomplished as she 
 was, she was preeminently modest, 
 seemingly unconscious of her superior 
 resources, drawing upon them not for 
 display or personal aggrandizement, 
 but for the advancement of those who 
 came under her influence. 
 
 She was a fine linguist, having early 
 in life mastered the Italian, Spanish, 
 and French languages. She delighted 
 in Botany, in which fascinating study 
 she retained her interest while she 
 lived. 
 
 " It is a privilege to have known so 
 rare a woman, and her memory will

 long be cherished in this commu- 
 nity." 
 
 The Trustees of the Free Circula- 
 ting Library of New Brunswick, in 
 which organization Mrs. Cook was 
 deeply interested, offered the sub- 
 joined resolutions : 
 
 "Resolved, That the Free Circulating 
 Library having heard with deep regret 
 of the death of Mrs. Cook, desire here- 
 by to express their most sincere respect 
 and admiration for her life and charac- 
 ter, together with their profound sense 
 of the loss they have sustained in her 
 
 death. She was one of the earliest and 
 most constant friends of the Library ; 
 her broad culture, refined taste and 
 judgment, and wise counsels, always 
 freely given in its behalf, have been of 
 inestimable benefit, particularly in the 
 careful selection of books, which has 
 secured for our Library so high a 
 standard of excellence. 
 
 "Resolved, That the sincere sympa- 
 thy of the members of this Board be 
 extended to the family of Mrs. Cook, 
 and that a copy of these resolutions be 
 sent to them."

 Fowler, Nettie, 
 
 Daughter of Melzar and Clarissa 
 (Spicer) Fowler, was born in Brown- 
 ville, Jefferson Co., N. Y. 
 
 Bereft of her father in infancy, and 
 of her mother at the age of seven, her 
 home was changed to Clayton, N. Y., 
 where she was tenderly reared by her 
 grandmother, and her uncle and aunt, 
 Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Merick. 
 
 After studying in Fulton and Lima 
 Academies, she passed a profitable year 
 in Troy Seminary (1852-1853). 
 
 In January, 1858, she was married to 
 Mr. Cyrus Hall McCormick, of Vir- 
 ginia, the inventor of the reaping ma- 
 chine which bears his name. 
 
 In 1 87 1, business requirements took 
 the family to Chicago, which has since 
 
 been their home. Of their children, 
 Cyrus H. McCormick, the eldest son, 
 was married to Miss Hammond, of Chi- 
 cago, and Harold Fowler McCormick, 
 the second son, was married to Miss 
 Rockefeller, of New York. The other 
 children, now living, are Mary Virginia 
 McCormick, Anita McCormick, who 
 became the wife of Mr. Emmons Blaine, 
 son of Hon. James G. Blaine, and Stan- 
 ley Robert McCormick. 
 
 At Mr. McCormick's death, in 1884, 
 Mrs. McCormick was made one of the 
 executors and trustees of the estate. 
 Being familiar during her husband's 
 life with all the details of his large 
 business, her sound judgment and ex- 
 perience have proved important factors 
 in fulfilling the duties of that important 
 trust. 
 
 The united efforts of Mr. and Mrs. 
 McCormick were bestowed upon the 
 theological seminary that bears their 
 name. They contributed large sums 
 for its endowment, and in addition, 
 since her husband's death, Mrs. McCor- 
 mick has built Fowler Hall and the 
 Virginia Library. She has also given 
 generously toward its current expenses, 
 and in aid of its needy students. 
 
 As a member of the Emma Willard 
 Association, she has graciously aided 
 by contributing to the scholarship in 
 honor of Mrs. Emma Willard in Mid- 
 dlebury College, and toward another 
 memorial to Mrs. Willard in Troy.

 land in 160 1, came to this country and 
 located in Boston. He was a founder, 
 in 1635 and 1636, of the towns of Wind- 
 sor, Hartford, and Westfield, Connect- 
 icut, and was commissioned as agent 
 for the Colonial Government. His de- 
 scendants have been prominent in the 
 political and business life of the coun- 
 try. Miss Hubbard's father, Chester 
 Hubbard, born August 6, 1788, in Win- 
 tonbury, Connecticut, was one of the 
 early settlers of the city of Montpelier, 
 Vermont, and a leading business man 
 of the State. Her mother was Julia 
 Granville Hubbard, born August 21, 
 1794, at Lebanon, New Hampshire, and 
 was the daughter of Nathan Jewett 
 and Ruth Paine Jewett • — daughter of 
 Chief-Justice Paine, one of the early 
 settlers of Lebanon, New Hampshire. 
 Miss Hubbard's early education was 
 acquired at private schools and the 
 academy of her native place. She was 
 a pupil for two years at Miss Dwight's 
 Gothic Seminary, in Northampton, 
 Mass., before going to Troy Seminary, 
 where she was a pupil in 1842. As a 
 girl she was in delicate health, and 
 passed much of her time in Boston, 
 Washington, and the South. When a 
 girl she was greatly interested in paint- 
 ing, and four large, finely executed oil 
 paintings made by her in 1842, and 
 several smaller works, give evidence 
 of her artistic nature. The late Mrs. 
 Paran Stevens, of New York, was one 
 of her contemporaries, and one of the 
 warmest of her girlhood friends. She 
 met the gentleman who afterwards be- 
 came her husband in New Orleans, 
 La., and on September 18, 1854, was 
 married to Anderson Devereaux Die- 
 ter, of Baltimore, Md., at her native 
 place, by the Rev. William H. Lord, 
 and went to New Orleans, La., where 
 
 she and her husband lived for many 
 years, and where their only son, Fred- 
 eric Jewett Dieter, who now resides in 
 New York city, was born. They took 
 up their residence in New York city in 
 1872, where Mr. Dieter died March 24, 
 1878. He was born at Baltimore, Md., 
 April 18, 1824. Mrs. Dieter, after the 
 death of her husband, resided with her 
 mother and brother in her native place, 
 and went to New York in 1885 to be 
 with her son, who then commenced 
 the practice of law in that city. Mrs. 
 Dieter had one sister, Ruth, who died 
 February 18, 1844, at the age of 16 
 years ; another sister, Julia, born Sep- 
 tember II, 1 82 1, who married Hon. 
 James Mc M. Shafter, and died Feb- 
 ruary II, 1871 ; and one brother, Tim- 
 othy Jewett Hubbard, born August 6, 
 1823, who died November 7, 1880. 
 Her father, Chester Hubbard, died 
 August 27, 1832, and her mother June 
 I, 1881. 
 
 Mrs. Dieter was a woman of very 
 strong character, an intense nature, 
 filled with deep and tender affection 
 for those she loved, unswerving in 
 what she regarded to be her duty, full 
 of charity for those in need, and none 
 save the beneficiaries of her bounty 
 knew of the good she was constantly 
 doing for others. She had ever a 
 kindly word and a pleasant smile for 
 those in the lower walks of life. Many 
 a heart has been cheered and many a 
 burden lifted by these little attentions. 
 She had a very active, practical mind, 
 well stored with useful knowledge; 
 with charm and grace of manner ; bril- 
 liancy of conversation, repartee, and 
 thought ; together with a nature filled 
 with the sunlight of soft refinement 
 and sentiment, making her life full of 
 interest, and endearing her to her many

 life-long friends. She had the power 
 to express her thoughts in her letters 
 in a brilliant and interesting manner, 
 and her letters silently proclaim the 
 nobility, beauty, and Christian sweet- 
 ness of the writer's life. 
 
 Mrs. Dieter was a great reader. She 
 was especially fond of history and poe- 
 try, and in her readings the Scriptures 
 and her little book " Life's Golden 
 Lamp " were her daily support. Beau- 
 tiful passages and hymns are marked, 
 giving evidences of perusal and of the 
 impressions made upon her heart. Her 
 faith was built upon the " Rock of 
 Ages," and neither storm nor sorrow 
 could shake it, for it stood upon a 
 " firm foundation." She had sufiEered 
 physically for many years, but these 
 sufferings were borne with patience 
 and a submissive spirit ; sometimes 
 when pain and agony were the great- 
 est, all evidence of it has been dis- 
 pelled by the sound of a voice she 
 loved, a kind word, or the light of a 
 smile of sympathy. A mother's fond 
 love and tender devotion for her only 
 child shone out most conspicuously in 
 her character. 
 
 Mrs. Dieter was a member of Beth- 
 any Church, of Montpelier, Vermont, 
 which was founded by her grandmother 
 and a few others in the early dawn of 
 the present century. She later became 
 a member of the Prytania Street Pres- 
 byterian Church of New Orleans, La., 
 and in later life attended the West 
 Presbyterian Church, of New York 
 city, and from early youth to the close 
 of life's journey was a most devout be- 
 liever in the all-ruling power of God. 
 Compassion, sympathy, love for all was 
 the lesson life had taught her, and the 
 one she endeavored by a true Christian 
 life to impart to others. Her heart was 
 
 attuned to all that was lovely and beau- 
 tiful in nature. The early spring time, 
 with its budding flowers, its singing 
 birds, its sunny skies, as well as the 
 brilliancy and fading glories of autumn, 
 all, everything in nature, had their 
 share for her, and it was mainly to en- 
 joy these last views of autumn that she 
 came back for a short visit to her child- 
 hood's home, to look once more on its 
 grand old mountains clothed in the 
 gorgeous tints of the dying year. It 
 was here, in her early home, that she 
 contracted a cold about a week before 
 her death, which soon developed into 
 pneumonia, and on October 30, 1896, 
 she quietly crossed the river to the un- 
 known land beyond. Amid her native 
 hills she loved so well, she now rests 
 in her last sleep in Green Mount Cem- 
 etery, at Montpelier, Vermont. 
 
 Of her it can be truly said, " Your 
 heart shall live for ever." Psalms 
 22 : 26. 
 Kelly, Julia C, 
 
 Daughter of Albert Livingston and 
 Caroline (Pierce) Kelly, was born in 
 Winterport, (formerly Frankfort), Me. 
 Entered Troy Seminary in 185 1, and 
 was graduated in 1855. 
 
 She married, Nov. 11, 1846, Dr. Wil- 
 liam R. Stavely, a graduate of Prince- 
 ton and also of Jefferson Medical Col- 
 lege. He enlisted as a private when 
 the call was made for three months 
 during the Civil War, and afterwards 
 served as surgeon until the end of the 
 war. 
 
 There are four children : three daugh- 
 ters, and one son, a graduate of Prince- 
 ton and of Penn University, now a 
 physician in Washington, D. C. 
 
 Mrs. Sterling died, in 1899, at Lahas-

 Lee, Juliet Love, 
 
 Daughter of Rev. Chauncey and Olive

 Conn., Nov. 28, 1807. In 1823 she at- 
 tended Troy Female Seminary, and 
 remained one year and six months. 
 The two following years were occupied 
 in teaching. In 1827 she married 
 Gardiner Dorrance, a practicing physi- 
 cian just settled in Sunderland, and 
 afterwards resided in Amherst, Mass., 
 where they remained a number of 
 years, afterwards removing to Attica, 
 N. Y., in 1843, where she has since re- 
 sided. Her husband, Gardiner Dor-

 " Just before a school examination, 
 the work of the Painting Class was 
 gathered and placed under Mrs. Wil- 
 lard's inspection. During this process 
 I received a message from her to come 
 to the picture-room. My last painting 
 hung before her. She pointed to it, 
 and said, 'Did you do that, Juliet?' 
 ' I most assuredly did, Madame,' I re- 
 plied. She then said, ' You have suc- 
 ceeded admirably, and it richly de- 
 serves to be placed on exhibition.' 
 Mrs. Willard was a true friend to me, 
 and her praise and approbation of my 
 work was highly prized. A warm 
 affection existed between us." 
 
 Loomis, Martha B., 
 
 Of Colebrook, Coos Co., N. H., en- 
 tered Troy Seminary in 1848, and 
 graduated in July, 1850. 
 
 Her plain, quiet manner did not re- 
 veal at first her strong character. She 
 possessed rare mental qualities, which 
 enabled her to grasp philosophical sub- 
 jects with ease, was a conscientious stu- 
 dent, and became a successful teacher. 
 
 I remember well how at the close of 
 the graduating exercises, Mrs. Willard 
 sent for her and two others of the class 
 to come to the parlor to meet a lady 
 from Georgetown, D. C, without re- 
 vealing the purpose. Later it appeared 
 that the lady was sent to attend the 
 examination, and to engage a teacher 
 for Advanced English in Georgetown 
 Female Seminary, then a prosperous 
 school for young ladies. Miss Loomis 
 was selected, and went at once to 
 Georgetown. 
 
 She was connected with the Semi- 
 nary until her marriage, in 1854, to 
 Cornelius Adams, a lawyer in Wash- 
 ington, D. C, which was their home 
 until Mr. Adams' death. She then re- 
 turned to Colebrook, and afterwards 
 resumed teachmg for one year, taking 
 a position m a Seminary in Harrolds- 
 burg, Ky. 
 
 She died in Colebrook, May 1, 1870, 
 leaving one son, Cornelius R. Adams, 
 who in 1895 was a successful lawyer in 
 Chicago, 111. 
 
 Nolton, Mary A., 
 
 Born in Petersburg, N. Y., was in 
 Troy Female Seminary in 1840. She 
 married Dr. A. N. Allen in 1842, and 
 afterwards removed to Pittsfield, Mass. 
 She always spoke with pleasure and 
 affection of her connection with the 
 Seminary. Her husband, Dr. Allen, 
 her son. Dr. Allen, of Brooklyn, and 
 two other children, preceded her to the 
 other world. After a life of singular 
 purity, honored by all who knew her, 
 she too " went away" in 1892. A sister 
 who survives in 1899, is Mrs. A. W.

 For a year she was engaged in teach- 
 ing in Red Falls, N. Y., and in Lan-

 from 1870 to 1872. She was married 
 in Troy, in 1873, to John A. Sleicher, 
 a native of that city, and then the 
 managing editor of the Troy Daily 
 Press. Subsequently he was one of 
 the owners of the Troy Times, and 
 in 1888 became editor-in-chief of the 
 Albany Evening Journal. On the invi- 
 tation of the late Col. Elliot F. Shepard, 
 he became editor-in-chief of the New 
 York Mail and Express in 1892. He is 
 now editor of Leslie's Weekly in New 
 
 Yorkj though his family still reside in 
 Albany. He has been a State Civil Ser- 
 vice Commissioner, and is prominently 
 identified with the Republican party. 
 
 Stocking, Elizabeth Hunt, 
 
 Daughter of Samuel Stocking and 
 Phebe Sheldon, his wife, was born in 
 Utica, N. Y., February 11, 1813. 
 
 Her niece writes : 
 
 " She was a younger sister of Mary 
 Sheldon Stocking, and was sent while 
 quite young to the Willard Seminary. 
 I am not sure as to the date, but think 
 she was only thirteen years old, which 
 would make it 1826 ; and yet, if younger 
 pupils were ever taken, it may have 
 been when she was eleven (1824), which 
 is really the most likely, for she was a 
 very precocious girl, and always seemed 
 almost as old as her elder sister. 
 
 " I think she was really a remarkable 
 wit, and her rare humor was the delight 
 of all her friends, even after the keen 
 edge of her wit was softened by time. 
 It will be gratifying to me and to her 
 other nieces, if you can add a brief 
 record of this beloved aunt in the 
 Addenda.

 Not since its organization has the Emma Willard Associafion known a 
 sadder bereavement than is realized in the sudden death of Mrs. Palmer, one 
 of its valued Vice-Presidents, and the late General Secretary of its Biograph- 
 ical Committee. In the latter capacity she has been brought in communication 
 with hundreds of former pupils of Troy Seminary, or their surviving rel- 
 atives, scattered throughout the country, who will read with sorrow this 
 startling chronicle of her death. 
 
 Towards all the aims and interests of the Emma Willard Association* 
 she has been from the first zealously affected, and in the work of gathering 
 data for the story of " Emma Willard and Her Pupils," which has so long 
 occupied the Committee on Publication, her efforts were most untiring and

 The youngest member of that Committee, she was seemingly in the very 
 prime of a useful and happy life. 
 
 Tenderly and gratefully do we recall the faithful service of our sympa-

 her age. 
 
 The announcement of the death of Mrs. Fairbanks was made at a meeting 
 of the Emma Willard Association, held in New York on Wednesday, December 
 14. The sorrow and regret of the Society with which she had been so long a 
 devoted and helpful associate, found expression in the following minute : 
 
 " At this first meeting after our annual reunion the sad tidings have come 
 to us that the shadow of death has again rested upon our Association, and 
 another member of the Biographical Committee has passed over to the majority. 
 Mrs. A. W. Fairbanks, the editor and compiler of the biographical record, died 
 on the 8th of December, a few days after the newly published book, ' Emma 
 Willard and Her Pupils,' was issued. 
 
 " A graduate of the Seminary in 1845, where her bright and cheerful spirit 
 and her fine scholarship attracted many friends, she was later, for many years, 
 the dispenser of a charming hospitality in a western home. These, with her 
 literary experience, her facile pen, her unfailing tact and discretion, eminently 
 fitted her to be the editor of such a book. An enthusiastic admirer of her Alma 
 Mater and its founder, she worked upon this book with untiring zeal and fidelity 
 for over five years, even when the warning came that health and strength must 
 be carefully treasured. 
 
 " When at last the completed book was brought to her, the hands were too 
 feeble to turn its leaves, but the eager eyes took in its beauty, and expressed her 
 gratification. Surely above all things else, this book will be her memorial, 
 
 " The gratitude of our Association goes out to her for her loving and faith- 
 ful service, and its sincere sympathy to her family. 
 
 " Resolved, That the Association place upon its records this expression of 
 sympathy and appreciation, and that a copy be sent to her family,"

HISTORY OF TROY FEMALE SEMINARY 
 
 FROM 1872 TO 1895. 
 
 In 1872 the fifty years for which Mrs. Emma Willard had leased the Semi- 
 nary building had expired. During that period it had gro-wn, by successive 
 additions, from the little three-storied " CofEee-House " of 1821, to a substantial 
 brick pile, four stories high, and some two hundred feet long. The last en 
 largement had been made twenty-six years before (in "1846), when the western 
 end was extended fifty feet further, on ground purchased by the Trustees from 
 the First Presbyterian Church property adjacent. This " new part " was devo- 
 ted entirely to academic purposes, and contained the large Examination Hall, 
 the School Room, Gymnasium, Lecture-Room, etc. 
 
 But in 1872 Vassar College, with its ample endowments, was seven years 
 old ; Smith and Wellesley Colleges were projected, and many new and enter- 
 prising schools for women were springing up all over the land. It was evident 
 that the Seminary could not hold its own with these more modren rivals. At 
 this time, therefore, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Willard, who for thirty-four years 
 had so ably and successfully conducted the school, retired to private life, leav- 
 ino- the fate of the institution in the hands of the Trustees. 
 
 The President of the Board at that time was Mr. William Gurley, a man of 
 broad and liberal views, and devotedly attached to the school in which so many 
 of his family had been educated. Failing to secure from the city a gift of 
 the Seminary property, the Trustees set about obtaining money for its pur- 
 chase. A subscription was started, and Mr. William Gurley, leaving his busi- 
 ness, personally and zealously conducted the canvass. He was heartily and 
 efficiently aided by his brother, Mr. Lewis Gurley, and on May i, 1873, the 
 amount required, fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), paid over to Hon. William 
 Kemp, then Mayor of Troy, vested the title of possession in the Trustees of 
 Troy Female Seminary ; and the perpetuity of the school was assured. 
 
 No attempt was made at that time to continue the boarding department, 
 or to refit that part of the house; but in the western end— "the new part"— a 
 vigorous and well-equipped day-school was now established— thus opening a 
 new chapter in the history of the Seminary. The Principal, chosen by the 
 Trustees, was Miss Emily T. Wilcox, a grand-niece of Mrs. Emma Willard, a 
 graduate of the Seminary, and for many years a successful and much-beloved 
 teacher there. Scarcely realizing the magnitude of her task, she set about it 
 52 
 
8i6 HISTORY OF TROY FEMALE SEMINARY 
 
 " with infinite diligence, and infinite love." The abillity and fidelity with 
 which she served her Alma Mater are briefly noted in the sketch of her life, 
 pages 625 to 627. 
 
 For twenty-three years (1872 to 1895) Miss Wilcox conducted the school— 
 a live teacher, awake to all the new ideas and methods relating to her profes- 
 sion—an enthusiastic toiler in wide fields of study, but singularly unostentatious 
 and retiring. Class after class graduated, but all went on so quietly for many 
 years that the world outside of Troy scarcely knew that Troy Female Seminary 
 still lived. 
 
 It was during the last year of Miss Wilcox's term of service that there 
 came a marvellous change in the even tenor of things. About 1890 a new 
 interest began to gather around the Seminary, which led to that beautiful 
 group of modern architecture which now occupies the site of the ancient school. 
 
 The first of the buildings was Gurley Memorial Hall, erected by Mr. 
 Lewis E. Gurley in memory of his brother, William Gurley, and his sister, 
 Clara, and dedicated in 1892. It stands just south of the site of the old Semi- 
 nary — a handsome and commodious structure of brown stone and granite, con- 
 taining Assembly Room, Class Rooms, Library, Laboratory, and Gymnasium. 
 The family of the late William Gurley supplemented this gift by the furnish- 
 ing and full equipment of the new building in a style commensurate with its 
 fine exterior. 
 
 From this point it is interesting to follow the thread of tender and subtile 
 influences which lent themselves to the prosperity and advancement of the 
 school. In the early thirties Clara Gurley was a pupil in the Seminary, and 
 under its formative and refining regime was ripening into a beautiful and love- 
 able womanhood. When only fifteen years of age she was qualified to join the 
 ranks of the bright, ambitious, young teachers whom Mrs. Willard had edu- 
 cated and distributed through the Southern States, in the carrying forward of 
 her forceful plan for spreading the leaven of woman's capacity and right to be 
 educated. At the expiration of four years, Clara Gurley returned to Troy for 
 further study ; but was soon after stricken with a fatal fever, and died in the 
 very morning of a life that gave such happy promise. It is easy to believe that 
 the memory of this idolized sister was the inspiration of the unstinted gener- 
 osity of William and Lewis Gurley. 
 
 William Gurley died in 1886. Referring to this, his brother Lewis said, 
 "The duty of caring for the Seminary, and providing for its future, came to me 
 as a trust more sacred than ever before." The elder brother William, with 
 prophetic vision, had recognized the coming need of new and commodious 
 buildings ; and when he died, Lewis Gurley took up the double work of 
 realizing his brother's ideal and his own. In his great loving heart he 
 resolved to build the " Gurley Memorial," giving to the historic school for 
 which both of them had labored and sacrificed together, such facilities as would 
 help it to hold the front rank among modern schools. Thus would he per- 
 petuate the memory of a gentle sister, the friend of his boyhood, and of the 
 
FROM 1872 TO 1895. 817 
 
 noble brother whose beneficent life had, through many a year, been an 
 incentive and example to his own. Well might it be said of this magnani- 
 mous purpose that 
 
 " Love took up the harp of life, 
 
 And smote on all its chords with might, 
 Smote the chord of self, that trembling, 
 Passed in music out of sight." 
 
 Is was on the 8th of June, 1892, that the dedication of the "Gurley Memo- 
 rial " made the city of Troy the scene of a notable gathering. Many of the 
 widely-scattered pupils of the several decades of the school's history came on 
 this occasion as pilgrims to a shrine. They came to greet the new, and to take 
 a tender farewell of the old, for the grand re-union was held that morning in 
 the dear old Examination-Room, while the dedication came in the afternoon in 
 the handsome assembly room of the new Gurley building. 
 
 A letter from Miss Sarah Willard, grand-daughter of Mrs. Emma Willard, 
 read that morning, voiced the thoughts of many a listener, and will conjure for 
 the present reader familiar pictures from the years now gone : 
 
 "It is not alone the gathering of to-day which I see. We are in the old 
 Examination-Room. The banks of seats are again in their places. The prepara- 
 tions for the examination are all completed, and one class after another stands 
 before the great table. On the other side is the array of examiners (and what 
 an assemblage it would be if they could be brought together now). Sometimes 
 it is Miss Hudson who sits beside them, sometimes Miss Hastings ; sometimes 
 Miss King's baskets of flowers proclaim the Botany class; but always my 
 mother's face is there, and Miss Manwaring is moving about, or my grand- 
 mother comes in for a while. 
 
 " And as I think of this as the last day, other last days are with me. The 
 room is crowded, and the June air comes in through the great windows. One 
 after another does her part in recitation, in reading, and in music ; and Miss 
 Manwaring appears with her conduct-list, waited for with breathless interest. 
 The faces which I knew are again the smooth unwritten pages of youth, though 
 on some of them there is the reflected glory of duties nobly done, and patient 
 sufiEering which I cannot dissociate from them. My mother gives the diplo- 
 mas, and the white-robed chorus sing the last notes. The benediction is pro- 
 nounced, and once more all is over — but ' the tender grace of a day that is 
 dead ' has this day ' come back to me.' " 
 
 Farther proof of love's potency for noble deeds is seen in the second build- 
 ing that rose upon this ground— the " Anna M. Plum Memorial." 
 
 Mrs. G. V. S. Quackenbush, the mother of Anna Plum (a Troy pupil in 
 1866), was moved to commemorate the life and early death of her daughter by 
 transmitting to those who should come after her some of the opportunities she 
 had not lived to enjoy. The daughter was an enthusiastic student and musi- 
 
8i8 HISTORY OF TROY FEMALE SEMINARY 
 
 cian. What more beautiful earthly immortality for her than to have her name 
 enshrined in melody and written on the stones of a temple dedicated to the 
 Arts ! Straightway the beautiful structure came to take its place beside the Gur- 
 ley Memorial. It is built of Barre granite, trimmed with sandstone, and bound 
 with beams of steel— altogether a thing of beauty and endurance, devoted to 
 Music and Art. Its first floor affords all requisite facilities for musical study, 
 while studios and a picture-gallery occupy the second story. 
 
 With the manifestly increasing public interest in the Institution, the time 
 seemed propitious for restoring to it the Boarding Department. This plan 
 at once called for a new Dormitory. Whose should be the proud distinction of 
 making this crowning gift to the school? Who would build for it a home 
 which should be commensurate with the ambition of its now sanguine friends, 
 and worthy of the masterful woman whom in this nineteenth century we de- 
 light to honor? 
 
 It was the Hon. Russell Sage who proved himself the man of the hour, 
 and who, with his enthusiastic and efficient wife, planned and bestowed upon 
 Troy Seminary the beautiful and well-appointed mansion which he hoped and 
 believed would become a home of happy memories to all the young women 
 who shall live within its walls. This house occupies, in part, the site of the old 
 Seminary, which was removed to make place for it. 
 
 Here, once more, sentiment joins hands with philanthropy. Russell Sage 
 Hall is a thank-offering. The Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, in his address at its 
 dedication. May i6, 1895, said, " Its erection has something more than mere use- 
 fulness in its intent. It has a suggestion of romance." Mr. Sage's acquaint- 
 ance with Emma Willard while he was still a rising man in Troy, had 
 inspired him with a profound and reverent regard for her memory, and a 
 high appreciation of her wisdom as an educator. Troy Seminary was the 
 Alma Mater of the noble woman who had dignified and adorned his own 
 home. Therefore he would help to enlarge its facilities for the education and 
 training of other good and noble women to take their places in other American 
 homes. 
 
 The completion of this architectural group, which like Aladdin's palace, 
 had risen as if by magic, opened another chapter in the story of the school. 
 In June of that year, 1895, Miss Wilcox presided at the graduation of her last 
 class, and retired from the old school ; and Miss Mary Alice Knox, for many 
 years a teacher of History in Wellesley College, was appointed Principal of the 
 school, which now changed its name from Troy Female Seminary to the " Emma 
 Willard School." 
 
 When Emma Willard in the early years of this century bowed her reverent 
 head to science, and valiantly lifted the " white standard " of woman's claim to 
 a place in the intellectual march, she fixed no bounds to the goal she might 
 attain. So the alumnae of Troy Seminary devoutly pray that this lineal de 
 scendant from that mother of schools, in its broad and comprehensive plans and 
 aims, shall keep abreast with the world's highest thought for woman.

FROM 1872 TO 1895. 819 
 
 We have commemorated the mission of our patron saint in bronze and in 
 granite. Her marble bust is to take its place in the State House at Albany ; 
 but a grander and more enduring memorial would be an Institution which, 
 adapted beyond any other to nurture and develope a noble, intellectual, helpful, 
 and gracious womanhood, should open to every woman who longs for knowl- 
 edge the widest possible opportunities anywhere offered to her sex, thus honor- 
 ing with fullest fruitage the great and wise Creator, who made woman his last 
 and crowning work.
