Individual Details
Sarah "Sally" Hayes
(11 Apr 1793 - 31 Aug 1882)
"Sally was the only very handsome one of the family, but she was a magnificent large blonde woman with a very brilliant expression. I remember her perfectly. Mother is somewhat like her. She is living now [1876] and not long ago visited the old homestead in West Brattleboro"
Elinor Mead Howells "Hayes Ancestry"
"She was a woman of great force of character and uncommon intelligence, an insatiate reader, yet very choice in her selection of authors. She ...read the Bible many times from cover to cover, of which she was never weary; a frequent reader and great admirer of Sir Walter Scott whose Talisman she read for the last time ten days before her death; She was a devoted and constant Christian, always foremost in all church work, with a bright, tenacious memory, which made her a treasury of information for years past, retaining her mental facilities until death..."
William Bancroft, in "Descendants of Lt. Samuel Smith of Hadley, Mass. (manuscript) edited by M. Emily Eastman, Roswell T. Smith and Lucius Smith.
"Aunt Bancroft died after a brief suffering at 3:40 this a.m., Aug. 31, 1882, after almost 90 years of uncommon activity and usefulness."
