Zipporah Sawyer.
1819-1916.
[Read before the Medford Historical Society, December 18, 1916.]
Miss Sawyer was born in Bolton, Mass., August 31, 1819.
Her ancestors were of that vigorous, self-reliant stock of New England who worked not only for the settlement and progress of their native towns, but were engaged as well in affairs that advanced their country.
Miss Sawyer's grandfather, Benjamin Sawyer, served in the war of the Revolution.
Her father, Dr. Levi Sawyer, was the physician of Bolton and of all the country around.
He was a man of marked individuality, a quality our townswoman inherited to a high degree; she was Miss Sawyer on the street, in the church, in the committee room, Miss Sawyer and no one else.
Her earliest years were spent in her Bolton home, where, as time went on, she combined the duties of a farmer's daughter with those of a doctor's helper, for in those days of thrift and industry a profession was rarely separated from the work of the farm.
