Grandma GARFIELD" lis dead. II is a
question whether any woman, so simple
and unassuming, and whose life was SO
eyentful, ever saw her name become SO
much household word. She was one of
the women whose courage, unselfshness
and wit in meeting the most formidable
emergencies filled our pioneer annals with
stories of heroism of the kind that seldom
gets itself sung by the poets. but is none
the less effective in the worlds work for
all that. Her husbands death lief: her
with four young children the youngest of
them, the future president, being only a
baby on frontier farm not wholly cleared,
and not even fenced. The brave, tiny
woman toiled not only at woman's work
but mems work, too, to keep her little
flock together and save the farm, which
was their only foothoid. On the day that
james" as she always called him in her
simple way. was inaugurated President of
the United States and turned, upon taking
the oath, to give her bis first kiss. it is
safe to say that, in the joy and pride of
that moment, she felt repaid for all the
privations and hardships of those years
when she was straining every nerve to
clotbe, feed and educate her children.
Stories like this represent everything that
is best and most hopeful in American life.
