Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Memorial of the Opening of the Ellsworth Homestead: At Windsor, Connecticut, October Eight, Nineteen Hundred and Three
Believing that the exercises and addresses on such an historic and suggestive occasion as the presentation of the Oliver Ells worth Homestead by his descendants to the Connecticut Daughters Of the American Revolution should be preserved in printed form, the State Regent, Mrs. Sara T. Kinney, appointed a committee consisting of Mrs. John Laidlaw Buel, Chairman, Mrs. Charles Whittlesey Pickett and Miss Fannie M. Olmsted, to take charge of the work. This memorial is submitted as the result of its labors. Before it was finished, Mrs. Pickett was suddenly removed by death, but not before she had accomplished her portion of the work, the account of the day at Windsor with which the text of the pamphlet begins. This was probably the last article ever written by Mrs. Pickett, the bright and talented Rhea of the New Haven Leader, and was found among her papers after her death. It is transcribed here practically as it left her pen.
