in the early days of the settlement of the village of Wau-
pun.
    Of Revolutionary stock, she had the courage of her
convictions, and was easily a leader.
    Always opposed to strong drink and liquors, she
instituted temperance meetings held every other Sunday

fore many a poor settler's home, with gifts of substantial
nature for the dwellers therein.
