My first husband, Major George w.
Glover, resided in Charleston, South
Carolina. While on business trip to
Wilmington, North Carolina, he was
suddenly seized with yellow fever and
died in about nine days. | was with
him on this trip. He took with him the
usual amount of money he would need
on such an excursion. At his decease, /
was surrounded by friends, and their
provisions in my behalf were most ten
der. The Governor of the state and his
staff, with a long procession, followed
the remains of my beloved one to the
cemetery. The Free masons selected
my escort, who took me to my fathers
home in Tilton, N. H. Ny salary for
writing gave me ample support. | did
open an infant school, but it was for the
purpose of starting that educational sys-
tenn in New Hampshire The rhyme at
tributed to me by McClure's Magazine
is not mine, but is | understand, para
phrase of silly song ofyears ago. Cor
rectly quoted, it is as follows, so / have
been told:
Go to Jane Glover,
Tell her | love her
BY the light of the moon
| will go to her.
The various stories told by McClure's
Magazine about my father spreading
the road in front of his horse with tan
bark and straw, and about persons
being hired to rock me, am
ignorant of. Nor do l remember any
such stuff as DR.. Patterson driving into
Franklin, n H., with couch or cradle
for me in his wagon. l onlyknow that
my father and mother did everything
they could think of to help ma when 1

wanderings, especially at night" as
stated by McClure's Magazine. I was
always accompanied by some response
BILE individual when | took an evening
walk, but seldom took one. l have
always consistently declared that was
not medium for spirits. / never was
especially interested in the Shakers,

a trance to describe scenes far away,
as McClures Magazine says.
{ My oldest sister dearly loved me, but

Christian Science, and to Baker that
was sorry offence.
McClure's Magazine calls DR.. Daniel
Patterson, my second husband, IAN
itinerant dentist" 1t says that after
my marriage we Lived for short time
at Tilton, then moved to Franklin.
During the following nine years the
Pattersons led rowing existence. The
doctor practiced in several towns, from
Tilton to North Groton and then to
Rumney"
When | was married to him, Dr.
Daniel Patterson was located in Frank
lin, N II. He had the degree d. d. s.,
rarely skilful dentist. He bought
place in Rumney, which he fancied, for
a summer home. At that time he
owned house in Franklin, n HI.
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 nevertheless was adultery. Indi-
viduals are here today who were pres
ent in court when the decision was
given by the Judge and who know the
facts. After the evidence
had been submitted that husband was
about to have DR.. Patterson arrested for
clipping with his wife, the court in
the clerk to record the divorce
in my favor. What prevented DIR.
Patterson's arrest was a letter from
me to this selfsame husband, i'm
ploring him not to do it. When
this husband recovered his wife, he
kept her prisoner in her home, and
| 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 / have stated them. | lived
with Dr. Patterson peaceably, and he
was kind to me up to the time of the
divorce.
