Sophia Elliot

(18 Jun 1823 - 28 May 1904)

"You speak of Sophia [Elliot Smith] (your sister and my cousin) and her husband, Gilbert. Sophy is indeed one of the 'great' girls and if she has a lover worthy of her -they say she has - their little home ought to contain as much happiness to the cubic foot as any other house under the moon -- no doubt it does. I can see her 'in my mind's eye' as real as life as she stepped along over the shining snow which cracked under our feet as we trudged down from grand mother's to her then home last winter a year ago. I'd go without my dinner to see you and her once again to-night..."
RBH (Fremont) Aug. 20, 1846 to Janette Elliot Keeler

"Brattleboro, Vt. Called on Sophia E. Smith, West Village..."
