should wish Mrs. Abbott came to
this town thirty years ago when she
was ten years old. Her father, Rev.
/ Mr.. Davis, well known Clergyman

stop in the place at the hotel OF Sim
con Wight, (the present Gen q. Bass
house, who was Congregationalist.
! He soon bought the old ell of what
was later the residence of Drs. Burn

a shop that he bought of Elias Work

house. That was the beginning of the
present house now owned by George

now. There are few here now who
have witnessed the changes that have
come to our place as Mrs. Abbott has
done. AT present she is in remarkable
health for her years and seems like
one much younger than she is. May
she be spared to return here again.
