Boston: John H. Ryder, 1888. Boston: Ryder, 1888. First edition. 24mo. Pamphlet bound into cloth binding. Ex-antique library, reference book. Titles in gilt. Library stamps. No pocket. Frontispiece frontis, 44 pp. illustrations. Azubah Freeman Ryder was born in Eastham, Massachusetts on January 5, 1784. In November 1788, four-year-old Azubah arrived in South Orrington on a sailing vessel with her parents, Timothy and Zeruiah Nickerson Freeman, and her nine siblings. She was the youngest daughter. Timothy Freeman had built his cabin, arranged for provisions, and cut firewood to last the first winter, but he could not have prepared for his wife to die the next month giving birth to the Freemans last child, Baby Thomas. In the spring of 1800, there was a memorial service for George Washington who died the previous December. Around a symbolic open grave, stood sixteen girls, sixteen years of age, representing the sixteen states of the young country. Azubah was one of the girls. A sermon was read. Participants walked slowly around the grave, scattering flowers, and singing a hymn composed for the occasion by an Orrington citizen. She outlived nineteen Presidents, five of her eight children, and her husband Samuel. Attractive library bookplate. Good.. First Edition. Wrappers. Good. 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall. Pamphlet.
