  Notes	"Now I can only tell little things of Grandma Huldah Botsford but she read the Bible through each time she nursed her babies, reading it out loud. She was so anxious for their religious welfare she spent much time in prayer. And many times she would leave her work and go across the lot to Aunt Betsey to have a word of prayer with her in regard to their children. We have beautiful letters she wrote in 1820...... During her last sickness all her anxiety was that her children might become useful Christian men and women of which there were six at that time." Excerpt from a letter fron Annie Pierce Haviland to her son. [2]
