She lost her husband about two years ago, who left her with her daughter, Emma, and her two sons, Oscar and John, to pro vide by industry for their future wants. Though raised in the lap of luxury and unaccustomed to feel the necessity of personal efforts, yet by her own industry she provides successfully and abundantly for herself and alk hers.
