"It's no matter about me," she once said to them, "if they can be saved, I can bear anything." She was not more than twelve years old, when she determined to aid her parents by doing work of some kind; so it was settled that she should become a dressmaker.

She went at once into a shop to learn the trade, remained for three months, and after that was hired at thirty-seven cents a day to work there three months more.

She also applied for work at a clothing store, and received a dozen red flannel shirts to make up at six and a quarter cents a piece.

When her mother found this out, she burst into tears, and the womanly child was not allowed to take any more work home.

We all know Mrs.Livermore's war record and her power and eloquence as an orator.
I would not say she was a spiritualist, but she felt sure that she often had advice or warning on questions from some source, and always listened, and was saved from accidents and danger.
