Clarissa Hayes

(24 Nov 1789 - 28 Jan 1883)

April 29, 1880. - Mrs. Sarah Moody Kilbourn, of Delaware, Ohio, my cousin, came to visit us after Lucy had started for Cincinnati. I am glad to have her here during Lucy's absence. I only regret that her mother, Aunt Moody, did not come with her. Although in her ninetieth year, and somewhat deaf from age, she is a most interesting person. She not merely remembers well and relates in an interesting way the events of many years ago, but she also is well informed and has an accurate memory as to current affairs in this country and abroad.
RBH Diary
Aunt Moody is in her ninety-second year-- feeble in body, somewhat deaf, but her intellect is good, and her conversation bright and sparkling. She remembers the current daily news well and is interested in what is going on in the world.
RBH Diary, Apr. 13, 1882


Saturday, [November] 4 (Birch's birthday), to Delaware. Aunt Moody well and interesting. She will be ninety-three the 24th of this month. She talked entertainingly of present events; had read the accounts of our doings in the newspapers; spoke of the comet and in that connection repeated verses written seventy years ago of the comet of 1812 and not seen by her since then! She compared the two comets! How agreeably the evening with her and with Lucy's friend Callie Little did go by.
