Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Memory of Mary May (1787-1882): Wife of Samuel May of Boston (1776-1870) Mary May was the second daughter of Joseph Goddard, of Brookline, and was born in that town, December 15, 1787. Her mother was Mary Aspinwall, also of a well-known and much esteemed Brookline family. She had the plain and wise rearing and education of an intelligent farmers family in which the parents were examples of industry, prudence and uprightness, good citizens and neighbors, useful members of society, and habitual attendants through life at the Sunday religious service. The children were numerous; the fathers steady industry and the mothers wise economy were the only sources of support; and so Mary was taken, when about thirteen years old, into the family of her uncle, Nathaniel Goddard, of Boston, - a prosperous merchant, - becoming the elder among the children of the house. It was a loving home and good school for her, and she tried to do her duty in it. Here, too, she had access to a better school-education than she could have had in Brookline.
