Mrs. Benton said in part regarding some
noted types;
..The New England settlers brought
with them English modes of farming,
but the long winters and rocky soil,
proved drawbacks, with which they
were acquainted. They learned to raise
corn from the Indians and through all
discourag ements and hardships they
toiied on. And did not those brave Pill
grim Fathers sow and reap. and with
guns at their sides gather in their little
churches to thank God for the harvest2
