er's childhood and portion of her
womanhood were spent here. 1t was
in Cincinnati that she met and mar

was then young girl. The home
Of the Beechers is still standing.

The present occupant is Rev. DR..
Munford, editor of the Herald and

After her marriage to Prof. Stowe
they built and lived in house near
the Beecher homestead. Here it was
that their children were born, and
where she laid the foundation for her
great story, probably the most widely
read of all novels ever written. She
had ample opportunity to study the
slave life. Her family and friends
were deeply interested in the cause of
freedom. Many of the scenes in
''Uncle Toms Cabin" were drawn from
real life and described almost at first
