Ellen Tucker Emerson - Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Concord, MA


Ellen
Tucker Emerson
Daughter of Ralph Waldo &
Lidian Emerson
Bor February 24, 1839
Died January 14, 1909

Her life was happy in that
"Among the scenes of real life, she wrought
Upon the plan that pleased her childish thought."


She cherished the old Religion.
It was her Guide through each day and the
Temple to which in solitude she withdrew.
The joy of her Father and Mother and
the comfort of their last years, her love
embraced the widest circle of kindred and friends.
She loved her Town.
She loved the simple and hardy life of old
New England, but exercised a wide and joyful
hospitality, and she eagerly helped others.
Of a fine mind, she cared more for persons than books, and her faith
drew out the best in those around her.
