She d. there, Oct. 11, 1851. Mr. Crosby was favored in early life with superior advan- tages for an education, which were appreciated and improved. This with his agreeable deportment gave him a position in a store, which resulted in his establishment as a merchant in Dummerston with flattering prospects of a successful business. But, alas, with an appetite indulged, and not restrained, business was neglected and ruin followed. In embarrassed circumstances, Dec., 1815, he removed his family to the toll house at the turnpike gate about one mile east of the meeting house in Marlborough. The avails of his services and that of his family for tending the gate afforded them a scanty pittance for a living. Mortified and dis- couraged he yielded to the influence of an ungoverned ap- petite and became a prey to the fell Destroyer. His widow, sad and sorrowful, did not yield to dispair, but by her shrewd management, industry, and frugality, with the kind co- operation of her children, continued to keep the gate until it was removed and the turnpike as such was abandoned. Her sons grew to manhood with habits of sobriety, industry, and economy, as established by a mother's training, and
[ 164 ]
were successful in the purchase of the John S. Strong farm, on which they continued to live until 1847, when she and her youngest son sold out and removed to Brattleboro. Children: Enos-C., b.
