1876 The Wellsboro Agitator - Birthday Party
Mrs. Mary Spaulding
A friend at Chatham Valley sends us the following report of a very
interesting birthday party which was recently held at that place: On the
4th day of December, 1875, several of the children of Mrs. Mary Spaulding met at
her home, the residence of the late Wm. Spaulding, of Chatham township, it being
her 85th birthday. Mrs. Spaulding’s maiden name was Briggs. She was one of
10 sisters, all born in one house in Dummerston, Vermont. She was born in
1790; married Wm. Spaulding in 1809, and lived with him 54 years. He died
in 1863(or 8). They moved from Vermont in 1839 to the farm where she now
resides. She has five sisters living, one older and four younger than
herself. She has 12 children living, 35 grandchildren and over a score of
great-grandchildren. She has born eight sons, seven of whom are still
living---one in Massachusetts, two in Wisconsin, three in Chatham and one in
Middlebury. Of these William, John and Sem were present on that day.
She has five daughters--Mrs. Priscilla Mann, of Jackson; Mary, wife of Geo.
Hall, of Troupsburg, NY; Hannah, wife of James Brown, of Middlebury; Fanny, wife
of Milo Goodwin, of Middlebury, and Laura, wife of D. H. Curtis, who resides on
the old homestead. All these daughters were present except Mrs. Hall.
Mr. John Mann, the oldest grandchild, was also present. As chance visitors
on that occasion were Mr. Hiram Potter and wife, of Middlebury. Mr.
Potter’s parents formerly owned the farm, and he was born upon the place and
remembers many things that occurred when he was a small boy and lived there.
Dinner over, and a short time having been spent in social conversation, the
following lines, written for the occasion by Mrs. John Spaulding, formerly C. M.
Baker, of Columbia, Bradford county, were read by her. Mrs. Mary
Spaulding: A mother, grandmother, friend, neighbor, and an old resident of
Chatham, you have attained to the age of 85 years to-day--15 years more than the
common lot of man. We read in Holy Writ that three score and 10 years are
allotted to man; and if by reason of strength they be four score, they shall be
spent in labor and sorrow. But you can thank Heaven to-day that you have
your health, strength and mind, and are a comfort to your children. You
can visit them at their homes, and meet a cheerful welcome from your sons and
their wives, your daughters and their husbands, and their children. Your
grandchildren and great-grandchildren will long remember a grandmother as one
they dearly loved. At an early day you with your husband and some of your
children migrated from the hills of Vermont. You crossed the old Green
Mountains; you endured the hardships of a winter’s journey. For many days
you braved the cold and storm, one child in your arms, and other little ones to
care for. Coming with horses and sleigh, (for in that day there were no
railroad cars to bring you from there here in a few hours), you had to brave the
cold, face the pelting storm, leaving home, friends and kindred behind to come
to a land of strangers, and endure the hardships incident to a new country,
moving from place to place until you came to the farm where you now reside; and
who can say you did not then endure hardships. The country was new; there
were no worked roads, no carriages to ride in, no good houses; mills for
grinding grain were at a distance, and grain hard to be got at times, and other
provisions not very plenty. Where you now live then was almost a
wilderness--the bear, the wolf and other wild animals roaming the forest while
yourself and husband, with some of your children, labored to secure a home in a
new country. And to-day, at 85 years of age, you can look upon a home your own
industry has helped to build up. You can look upon a country that buds and
blossoms as the rose. You have lived to see the day when an hour’s drive
will take you to the railroad. You have lived to look upon a people in
this your own neighborhood, who by their own industry have cleared their farms,
built houses, roads, school houses, and have improved themselves, and are
educating their children to become pillars in society when they shall have bowed
to the mandate of death; and you also see a people who can contribute something
to support the gospel, build churches in this and adjoining towns, sustain
Sunday-schools, which they could not have done when you first made this farm in
Chatham your home. And what is better than all, you know that your
children have homes of their own and the comforts of life and many of its
luxuries, and also that many of your grandchildren are settled in life; and you
have seen of your posterity to the third generation. Although your last
days are spent in widowhood, the husband and father having gone to that bourne
from which no traveler returns, your children are left ready and willing to
cheer and comfort you in your last years of life--to smooth your pillow in days
of sickness, to rejoice with you in days of health and prosperity, hoping that
your last days may be your best days, and that you can say with one of old, “The
Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures. He leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul.
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness, for his name’s sake. Yea,
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,
for Thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou
preparest a table for me. Thou annointest my head with oil, my cup runneth
over. Surely, goodness and mercy have followed me all the days of my life,
and I hope to dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Long years may you live
to see---many more years of happiness and prosperity. Your children have
not and will not, in all probability, endure the hardships you have; but while
life is spared them as children of an earthly parent, and with her at her home
to-day, may they also realize that they are children of a Heavenly parent who
dwells in a house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens. May they
live in such a manner that the world will be the better for their living in it,
always remembering that a good name is better than great riches. Those of
us that are to-day with you and have presented you with our little gifts, not
because of their intrinsic value, but to show you that you are kindly
remembered, by us,--may we go to our homes feeling that we are better for having
spent the day with you. Such a day in all probability will never occur
again. The pale horse and his rider may already be upon our track.
Ere another year rolls around the death-dealing angel may hurl his poisoned
arrow at some of us, and we be carried to our long home never more to return.
May we all so live that it may then be said of us that our work is done and well
done; and when we shall cross the river of death may our deathless spirits be
wafted by bright angels to that shining shore, to be with him who died on
Calvary’s mount that a sinful world might live. (Tuesday, January 18,
