Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 2., Lydia Maria Child. (search)
rough. From all that fate has brought to me I strive to learn humility; And trust in Him who rules above Whose universal law is love. Thus only can I kindly view The world that I am passing through. When I approach the setting sun And feel my journey well-nigh done, May earth be veiled in genial light And her last smile to me seem bright. Help me till then to kindly view The world that I am passing through. In 1836 Mrs. Child published Philothea, a Greek romance in the time of Phidias, Plato, Anaxagoras, Pericles, Alcibiades, and Aspasia. It was pronounced the crowning achievement of her intellectual efforts, and was received with something of the enthusiasm that had greeted her early novels.

Caesar, Negro Servant of Ebenezar Brooks of Medford and Zipporah negro Servant of Nathl Brown of Charlestown, married June 23, 1757. As would be inferred, the number of slave owners was not large, and they were the leading men of the town: the Halls, Brookses and Willises, Dr. Simon Tufts, Rev. Mr. Turrell, and, above all, Col. Isaac Royall. This f
