I came to live with my mother in her new home, with my two brothers.

It was very hard to lose a dear loving father who loved his children so much as my mother tells me he did.

But the Lord does everything right, because if the Lord had not taken my father away from us I should not have known the true religion.

I lived in my step-father's house till I was twelve years old.

I was then placed in Dr.De Forest's school, in the year 1848.
