History
of Mayfield
Hannah
PRATT (Mrs. Luke WASTE) came
from Washington county, New York, with her husband and two children
in 1837. They first settled in Willoughby, and came to Mayfield
in 1840. She was a very kind-hearted woman. She bore the noontide
toil and heat, and at eventide, with tired, folded hands, waited
for the summons which should open unto her the morning of eternal
day.
Lucinda MILLER (Mrs. Henry HIGGINS)
came from the East to Augurn in 1844, rode the entire distance
in a lumber wagon with her husband and three children, was fourteen
days on the road, then moved to Newburg, and came from there
to Mayfield. She was a member of the Disciple Church a great
many years, was an excellent nurse, cultivated and loved flowers,
and was a great reader. Her daughters who came with her were
Helen, who married Dr. WASTE, and Rosina, who married Greer PAGE. |
