by lineal descendants of the founder.
It Is located on the Readfield- Mt Yer.
non road near Hoyt's hill. Mrs. Pack
ard lived at that place until she was
eight years old, when the family moved
to Mt. Vernon, where her school and
childhood days were passed. She also
went to school at Belgrade for a time.
In 1851 she married J. B. Bartlett and
went to live in Manchester. Two sons
now living were born of this union and
they are +. E. Bartlett of Chicago, Ill.
and J. E. Bartlett of this city. Her
husband died in 1872. and in 1875 Mrs.
Packard was married to Lewis Pack
ard of Manchester. who died in 1901
After her second husbands death Mrs.
Packard came to Augusta, where she
has liver ever since. She kept house
on Chapel street and performed all her
own household duties until she was
So years old.
Mrs. Packard has a remarkably keen
mind and remembers her childhood
days when she played around her
grandfather's house. built on the site
of the original log cabin at Readfeld.
She has lived during many great world
events and recalls the circumstances
of many historic incidents. She is a
great reader and in her later years has
read the New Testament through many
times. II is most remarkable fact
that Mrs. Packard does not use glasses
either to read or to sew. She also
writes much and has a considerable
correspondence with a host of friends
in many parts Of the country.
Mrs. Packard is greatly interested in
the worlds news and carefully peruses
the papers and journals each day. She
had no criticism to offer of present
day styles or conditions. but, on the
contrary. seemed to be as much a part
of the age and generation as those
who compose it and are the sponsors
of it's dongs. Besides her two sons,
Mrs. Packard's only other living rela-
tive is niece living in Dexter. She
expects to enjoy many more pleasant
birthday anniversaries and all who
know Mrs. Packard are sure. too, that
she will,
