Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketches of Mr.& Mrs. Stephen Ridgley From Alton he moved to Berwick, Illinois, and subsequently, after the death of his wife, went to live with some of his children at Bunker Hill, Illinois. He died in St. Louis at the age of eighty three, while on a visit to his son Richard. Thomas Ridgley was a man of very limited abilities. His inefficiency prevented success. The maiden name of Stephen Ridgley´s mother was Lydia Cross. She was born in 1776, in Maiden Bradley, Wiltshire, England. She had only a common school education, but was a woman of strong native sense. She was for many years a church member and in later life became fervently active in the service of religion. She died in Berwick, Warren county, Illinois, in the seventy fourth year of her age. The issue of this marriage was eleven children, of whom but one survives. Stephen, the seventh child, was born in Horningsham, England, July 26th 1806. His birthplace was a little village belonging to Lord Bath. The parents were too poor to give their son an education. Even the expense of the parish school exceeded their humble means. After eighteen months of incompetent instruction in a school whose full course of study comprised only reading and writing, the child at the age of eight was set at such manual tasks as his young hands could perform. His school life ended when that of more favored children had scarcely begun. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
