Notes |
- Alice was the daughter of John and Grace (Black) Butler.
Alice's father was a man of large mind and means, and of commanding position in society. Finding few, if any, advantages for a liberal education in the schools then existing, he hired a private tutor to teach his children in his own house, thus giving them the best facilities in his power. His children, in consequence, grew up with an educational training superior for the times.
Alice became a woman with few equals in general intelligence and culture. She was possessed of a tenacious memory, and was an indefatigable reader, often spending the whole night in reading.
She was highly esteemed by all who knew her. The minister officiating at her funeral, remarked, "She was the greatest reader in Dardwick; in fact, I don't know but what she was the greatest reader in the County" (of Worcester).
