In the East he was interested in various lines of business:-in farming, manufacturing, buying hops in Northern New England and selling in New York City, a store and a hotel. In the West he has farming land and town lots. Susan Mandana Caldwell Priest had the most beautiful personality that some near her have ever known. She had the truest, tenderest soul, matched with a strong mind. Her interests and keen sympathies were world-wide. Spiritual, intellectual, steadfast to duty, warmly interested in life, simple and natural. "But to pass her on the street was to be incited to greater goodness." A teacher before her marriage, in after life she never passed a school building without wishing to enter. She was a trustee of the Shenandoah Congregational Church, the beloved president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and a lifelong advocate of woman suffrage, a belief in which others of her family and relatives warmly joined.

Buried in West Northfield, Mass. ▼ JULIA ANN CALDWELL, b. Nov. 28, 1837; d. New Haven, Conn., Feb. 5, 1899. Buried in West Northfield, Mass.; m. New York City, N. Y., Dec. 19, 1859, Charles Thomas Willard, son of Oliver and Sarah Jones (Harvey) Willard, b. Wardsboro, Vt., May 8, 1837; d. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 10, 1866. Prior to his death they lived in New York City and Philadelphia in which latter place he was a photographer. He was the inventor of a cipher code adopted by the Danish government. For the last twenty years of her life her home was in New Haven, Conn. Julia Ann Caldwell Willard was a woman of rare sanity of mind, and met the severe trials which came early in life with unsurpassed courage. She possessed a tenderness, a keen sense of humor, and an unconquerable youthfulness of spirit which was inspiring. While her time was too fully occupied with her duties as a mother and a teacher (which latter position she filled for more than thirty years) to allow of active work in the various reforms of her day, her sympathies were keenly with them. She was a graduate of the Charlotteville, New York, Seminary, and taught for a few of the troubled months before the war in a Mississippi family. Two months before the birth of their son, her husband, but twenty-eight years of age and unusually attractive, was killed by falling into an insufficiently protected excavation in Philadelphia while on his way from exhibiting the secret cipher, which he had invented, to a foreign minister of state. Afterward she taught school, chiefly in New Haven, Conn. It was a profession that she loved; as she loved traveling. She went abroad three times, in fulfillment of her childhood dreams.
