Mary Moody Emerson
daughter of
William Emerson, Minister of Concord
and Phebe Bliss his wife.
born in Concord 23 August 1774
died in Wiliamsburgh, L. I. 1 May 1863
She gave high counsels --
It was the privilege of certain boys
to have this immeasurably high standard
indicated to their childhood a blessing
which nothing else in education
could supply
(reverse)
Ah me! it was my childhood's thought
If He should make my web a blot
On life's fair picture of delight
My heart's content would find it right.
