ol. The Mission Band of our church sent me some money every year
after the first year that I went to school. Sometimes it was to the
answer of my prayers that the money came at the time I needed it to pay
my board and God be praised for those who from the bottom of their
hearts contributed in the grand and good work of education. For all that
I shall do in this life to help some one that needs help, I shall think
of the Lord's love to me and try and do what I can to bring them to the
Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world, and to God I owe my
life and my all, and if I should fail to love and honor Him I know that
He will not remember me before His dear Father in heaven.

Mr. William Lovett, the father of a large family, is one of the finest
gentlemen anywhere around the whole country, and is much beloved by all
who know him. The white people who board with him in the Summer time all
liked him, for he was so nice and quiet. He has a large family of girls
and boys and all are smart. He sent two of them to the Hillsdale College
when they had finished at the Ferry, and one was John Lovett, who
studied law, and the other one, Miss Etta Lovett, was a fine school
teacher and a music teacher.

I have just learned that the last one of the girls has married, and that
is the youngest of the family. They all have good partners for life,
which does not come to all large families. God bless such a father and
mother, who have taken such good care of the training of their children.

Mr. John Lovett was one of the teachers of whom I shall speak of, as I
boarded in their house for four years. A more lovely woman never lived
than his mother. She is known far and wide as one of the best ladies to
keep boarders and she has a lovely family of girls and boys. Mr. Thomas
Lovett is a doctress, who is one of the finest ladies that lives. She is
from the North and she has some of the best people of the Northern
cities that she waited on, and they love her to-day for the kind care
that she had for them.

Miss Emma Carter is one of the teachers, and Miss Lizzie Sims, Miss
Frances Sims, Mr. Burrell and Mr. C. H. Plummer; and of later years Miss
Mary Brackett has gone there as one of its teachers and there are others
that have gone there as teachers. The dear good work is going on in the
strength of the Lord and I hope that He will still bless his work. The
same that I said of Miss C. L. Franklin I will say of Miss Lulia
Brackett, who
