He was strict in all religious Observances himself, yet would not require his children to adopt either his practices or his opinions. He was often called to visit the sick and dying, and was active in all good works. The mother — short and somewhat stout; of dark hair, eyes, and complexion; of reticent habits, with a certain fine feeling and a love of the beautiful — often found companion ship in nature rather than among the neighbors of their sparsely settled community. The daughter was like her father in form and features, bright blue eyes and delicate complexion.
