p.3Forward

A few years ago I asked my fatherto put down some facts of his life for those of his family whoare too young to remember his early years.  In his will hebequeathed these “Notes” to my only sister, MaryTheodora, who has lived with him all her life, but she hesitated,in face of the last sentence, to publish them.  Although itis true they were not written with a view to publication, it isevident, from a conversation my father had with his wife aboutthem, that he had no objection to their being made public.

My sister therefore prints them now, in the hope that they mayinterest a few beyond the “two or three persons” forwhom they were intended.
