WITH neT own family coat OF arms.
I never doubted the veracity of her
gift. l have another coat of arms,
i which is of my mothers ancestry.
When / was last in Washington, ID. c.,
Mrs. Judge Potter and myself knet
in silent prayer on the mound of her
late father General John Mcneil, the
hero of Lundy Lane.
Notwithstanding that McClure's Mag
azine says, Mary Baker completed
Her education when she finished Smiths
grammar and reached long division in
arithmetic" l was called by the Rev.
kR. $. Rust, ID. D., principal of ths
Methodist Conference seminary at San
bornton Bridge, to supply the place
of his leading teacher during her tenn
porary absence.
Regarding my first marriage and the
tragic death of my husband McClure's
magazine says He George Wash
ington Glover) took his bride to Will
mington, S. c., and in June, 1914 six
| months after his marriage, he died
| of yellow fever. He left his young
bride in miserable plight. She was
far from home and entirely without
money or friends. Glover, however,
was Freemason, and thus received
a decent burial The Masons also paid
Mrs. Glover's fare to New York city.
where she was met and taken to her
fathers home by her brother George.
|. Her position was an embarrass-
ing one. She was grown woman,
with a child but entirely without
means of support. Mrs. Glover
made only one effort at self-support.
For brief season she taught school,"
Gover's Tragic Death
My first husband, Major George w.
Glover. resided in Charleston, s. C.
While on business trip to Whining

yellow fever and died in about nine
days. l was with him on this trip. He
took with him the usual amount of
money he would need on such an ex-
cursion. At his decease, 1 was sur
rounded by friends, and their provi-
sions in my behalf were most tender.
The Governor of the state and his staff,
with long procession, followed the re-
mains of my beloved one to the ceme-
terry.
The Freemasons selected my escort,
who took me to my fathers home in
Tllton, N. Fl. My salary for writing
gave me ample support. l did open an
infant school, but 1t was for the pur-
pose of starting that educational sys-
tenn in New Hampshire. The rhyme
attributed to me by McClures Maga-
zine is not mine but is, understand,
a paraphrase of a silly song of years
ago. Correctly quoted, it is as follows,
| so L nave been told.
Go to Jane Glover,
Tell her 1 love her;
BY the light of the moon
l will go to her
| The various stories told by McClure's
Magazine about my father spreading
the road in front of his house with tam
bark and straw, and about persons
being hired to rock me, l am ignorant
| of. Nor do l remember any such stuff
as DR.. Patterson driving into Franklin,
N. H, with a couch or cradle for me in
his wagon. / only know that my father
and mother did everything they could
think of to help me when 1 was i'll.
Denies Many Statements
I was never given to long and lone
ly wanderings, especially at night" as
stated by McClure's Magazine. l was
always accompanied by some RESPONSE
BILE individual when 1 took an evening
walk, but 1 seldom took one. 1 have
always consistently declared that 1
was not a medium for spirits. 1 never
was especially interested in the Shak-
ers, never "dabbled in mesmerism,"
never was IAN amateur clairvoyant,"
nor did 'the superstitious country folk
frequently seek my advice" 1 never
went into a trance to describe scenes
far away, as McClure's Magazine says.
| My Oldest sister dearly loved me, but
|
Christian Science, and to a Baker that
was a sorry offense.
McClure's Magazine calls DR.. Daniel
Patterson, my second husband IAN
! itinerant dentist" 1t says that after
my marriage we "'lived for a short time
at Tilton, then moved to Franklin. -
During the following nine years the
Pattersons led a rowing existence. The
doctor practiced in several towns. from
Tilton to North Groton and Rumney."
When I was married to him, DR.. Dan
iel Patterson was located in Franklin,
N. H. He had the degree d. D. s., was
popular man, and considered q rarely
skilful dentist. He bought place in
Rumney, which he fancied, for a sum-
mer resort. At that time he owned a
house in Franklin, N. II.
Although, as McClures Magazine
claims, the court record may state that
my divorce from DR.. Patterson was
granted on the ground Of desertion, the
cause nevertheless was adultery.
individuals are here today who
were present in court when the deci-
sion was given by the judge and who
know the following facts. After the
evidence had been submitted that a
husband was about to have DR.. Pat
terson arrested for eloping with his
wife, the court instructed the clerk to
record the divorce in my favor.
Prevents Doctors Arrest
| What prevented DR., Patterson's ar
rest was a letter from me to this self
same husband, imploring him not to
do it. When this husband recovered
his wife he kept her prisoner in her
home and I was also the means OF
reconciling the couple, A Christian
Scientist has told me that with tears
of gratitude the wife of this husband
related these facts to her just as l
have stated them. i lived with DR..
Patterson peaceably. and he was kind
to me up to the time of the divorce.
