The ,Freemasons selected my escort. who
took me to my fathers home in Tilton. N.
| H. My salary for writing gave me ample
| support. l did open an infant school. but 1t
| was for the purpose of starting that edu-
| cational system in New Hampshire. The
| rhyme attributed to me by McClure's Maya
| zine is not mine but Is, l understand. a
| paraphrase Of silly song of years ago.
Correctly quoted. it is as follows. so l have

| Go to Jane Glover,
Tell her 1 love her:
By the light Of the moon
Will go to her.
| As to Wanderings.
! The various stories told by Mcclure S
| Magazine about my father spreading the
road In front Of his house with tan-bark and
| straw, and about persons being hired to
| rock me. 1 am ignorant of. Nor do 1 re-
member any such stuff as DR.. Patterson
driving into Franklin, N. H.. with a couch
| OF cradle for me in his wagon. I only
| know that my father and mother did every
| thing they could think Of to help me when
! l was ILL.,
| 1 was never given to- long and lonely
| wanderings especially at night" as stated
| by McClure's Magazine. l was always ac-
| cOmpanied by some responsible individual
| when l took an evening walk, but l seldom
| took one. l have always consistently de-
clared that 1 was not medium for spirits.

wounded her pride when l adopted Chris

sorry offense.
Regarding Second Husband.
McClures Magazine calls Dr. Daniel Pat

we lived for a short time at Tilton, then
moved to Franklin. During the fol-

eral towns, from Tilton to North Groton
and Rumney.'
| When 1 was married to him DR.. Daniel
Patterson was located in Franklin, N.
H. He had the degree D. D. S., was a
popular man and considered a rarely skill
full dentist. He bought place in Rumney
which he fancied for a summer resort.
At that time he owned house in Frank
lin, n. H.
| Although, as McClure's Magazine claims.
| the court record may state that my divorce
from DR.. Patterson was granted on the
| ground of desertion, the cause. neverthe
| less, was adultery. individuals are here
today who were present in court when the
| know the following facts. After the evil
| dence had been submitted that a husband
| was about to have Dr. Patterson arrested
| for clipping with his wife, the court in
| structed the clerk to record the divorce in
| my favor.
Prevented an Arrest.
What prevented DR.. Pattersons arrest

band imploring him not to do it, When

means of reconciling the couple. A Chris

| time of the divorce.

About the year 1874 DR.. Patterson, a
| dentist boarded with me in Littleton N
II. During his stay at different times l had
| conversation with him about his wife from

| being a pure and Christian woman, and
the cause of the separation being wholly
| on his part; that if he had done as he ought
| he might have had pleasant and happy
| home one could wish for
| At that time | had no knowledge of who

his enemies: because blessed are We whom
