Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems
In that home she grew to womanhood, attending the district school, alluded to in The Old School House, living very close always to nature's heart, yet seizing every possible opportunity for knowledge of the great outside world. On June lgth, 1861, she was married to Henry James Watson, a union of such love and faithfulness that it seemed most fitting that, at its earthly termination, death should divide them by less than twenty-four hours.
A life lived in Saint Albans with the exception of a few months of teaching at Maquam and Highgate Springs, and in her early married life a short time in Whitehall, New York, a life uneventful save with the common joys and sorrows that come to all mankind, and yet a life so filled with the Holy Spirit and the love that passeth knowledge, that when she died, Phoebe Cary's words written of another, seemed most fitting for her.
