 So Mary Morse Baker, at the age of 12 left the little, old fiye-roomed farm house and went to live in Concord with her father It Is remembered that Mary Baker was very pret.y and very vain little girl, who wore her icng brown hair in ringlets, and whose big eyes were al- ways dancing with mischief. She did not go to school much In Concord for the reason that her health was delicate.
 Two years later, at the age of Il, Mary Baker was taken to Tilton to live. Flor mother Abigail. died there in 1S49 and Mark Baker took second wife. Mary was sent for single term to the Tilton Grammar school, and her desk was di- rectly behind that of the present Mrs. Philbrook, already referred to- Mrs Phil brook was then but years old and Mary Baker affected to look down upon her, because of her superior age. But she did not decline to permit the younger girl to do her sums" in long division for her and. Mrs. Philbrook declares. she never got beyond long division
 Mary Baker married briclSlayer named George Washington Glover in 1S43. The ambitious girl introduced him among her friends as an architect and gave him the title of .'eolonel." Then she went away with her husband and lived wlth him in Wilmington, s. C., until his death five or six months later. He died Tn poverty and lies in an unmarked grave in the Potter's Field.
 Then Mary Baker Eddy the young widow, reappeared in Hilton. She bore a son. George Washington Glover, who was born three or four months after his fathers death From the first the mother did not care for this little boy. It Is said that sine would neither nurse him nor tend him, and that she neglected nm to such an extent that kind-hearted per sons prevailed upon her to give the child away. Mark Baker, her father, said that Mary was like an old eve sheep who hates her lamb"
 And so Mary Baker Glover gave away her son to the Varney family In sand bornton, N. IT., and did not see him for years. Indeed, the child was forced upon her subsequently through death Tn the Varney family, and Mark Baker housed it, but the mother got rid or IT. again. and when the youth grew up ho drifted west, Of his subsequent career more will be told later.
 But Mary Baker Glover did not remain a sorrowing widow. Among the well known characters of the locality in those days was Dr. Daniel Patterson, man or feet inches in height, and of mag nificent proportions. Dr. Patterson was a travelling dentist, a man of culture and highly respected in that region.
 He was a Harvard graduate, skilled in his profession, and had lucrative practice among the farmers and villagers throughout the states of New Hampshire and Maine Dr. Patterson had regular route which he covered once in two years. and i'll the course of his peregrlna- tions fell in with the Widow Glover, two years his junior. and then at the helght of her beauty.
 They were married in June, 1855, and for a time Triton saw Mary Baker Glow CT Patterson no more. She traNeled With her husband, and in course of time the dentist settled down in the city or Lynn, Mass, where he soon built up lucra- tive practice. The couple lived In turn in Groton, Plymouth, Rumney ana other New Hampshire towns.
 During this period Mrs. Patterson at tended spiritualistic seances and adopt ed the faith. Dr. Patterson sought to restrain her from throwing herself into the movement. but without any appre- ciable success. The upshot was, that Ds. Patterson broke up his home in Lynn and removed to Rumney, Grafton county N. H., eighteen miles above Concord, thus circumventing the spiritualists
 It was about this time that the civil war broke out, and Dr. Patterson de- termined to seek commission ana go to the front He was requested by the governor of New Hampshire, who was then in Washington, to come on to meet him and complied. This was in 'S52. The morning after his arrival in Wash ington he went out with a companion named James O. Adams to visit the bat tlefield of Bull Run. There they were captured by Mosbys guerillas and carried to Richmond, in spite of their protests that they were non-combatants.
 When Dr. Patterson returned to his home in Rumney he found it deserted. His wife had gone back to her people in Hilton and declined longer to live with him. Patterson, broken-hearted, wan dered away, and Mrs. Patterson gave 1t out that he had eloped with another woman, and subsequently in 1873 secured a divorce from him in Salem, Mass, upon the ground of desertlon, At this time she had found an asylum with her eldest sister. Abigail, then married to Alexan- der Triton, in the town of Triton, N. H.
 Notwithstanding the fact that Mrs. Eddy repeatedly referred to Dr. PatteT- son as having deserted her for another woman and has printed the allegation that his end was unaccounted for, there is no mystery connected with the last day of this good man. In despair he sought his old home, Saco, Me, where he was born, and where his father, also Daniel. and his mother lived. He was then A, still a splendid specimen of man hood and in the full possession Of all his faculties. He wandered back to the scenes of his childhood, but did not re- sume relations with those with whom he had been intimate in his youth. His small fortune was disslpated, and he was almost penniless.
 Finally a time came when the weight of years and the encroachment of dis ease rendered him unfit to live the out door life. and he was forced to throw himself upon the charity of the county. He entered the poor house and died there August IA, 1s96, in his seventy-eighth year, and was buried in the Potter S Field.
 The loss of her husband did not grieve Mrs. Patterson. She dropped his name and consoled herself with the company
