I united with the Trinitarian Congregational Church at North Andover, Mass., with twenty others, Jan. 9, 1883, under the pastor, Rev. Horace HI. Leavett, now of Somerville, Mass. From there I was admitted to the church in Hampstead, under Rev. Albert Watson, by letter from the North Andover church, Jan. 1, 1891. I was married by Rev. Mr. Watson to Edward F. Perot, then of Hampstead (No. 676), Sept. 30, 1890. We have lived in Hampstead two years, in Hav- erhill, Mass., a few years, and at present in Plympton. We have no children. I am a member of the C. E. Society here, as is also my step-daughter. We have a flourishing society, and we each try to do our part in the meetings. Wishing the church in Hampstead success and prosperity in the future, as in the past, and a hope for your personal success in the great task which you have undertaken, I can say the Lord has given me strength in my trial, and I have never been sorry that I accepted him. I only regret that I had not sooner in life."
