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, 1876, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)
