ELIZABETH, born April 15, 1783, in Lyme. She went to school
in Brookfield, Vt., in the little log schoolhouse, which was
afterwards burned. When young, it was supposed that she
would die of consumption, but she became well and strong,
being tall and weighing, at the time of her marriage, one
hundred and sixty. She had deep blue eyes, dark brown
hair, full forehead, and was fair. She was a beautiful
singer. She married, after an engagement of seven years,
Gurdon Hibbard, brother of her sister Abigail's husband,
Dec. 25, 1808, in Brookfield. He was born in Lebanon, N.
H., July 12, 1782. By constant labor as a carpenter, his
health was injuriously affected; and his physician pro-
nounced him a hopeless consumptive. He took a journey to
Saratoga Springs, N. Y., against the wishes of his family;
but there his racking cough and violent night sweats disap-
peared. After his recovery, he bought fifty acres of land
near her father's house, built a barn, and set out an orchard.
He then married; and lived in a part of her father's house
until he could build a house. Her furniture consisted of
two tables, two chests of drawers, six kitchen chairs, rock-
ing chair, two bedsteads, large wheel, linen wheel, quill
wheel, reel and swifts, made by her father, a looking glass
and some necessary crockery. She had devoted some years
to sewing, being a fine needlewoman, and making men's
clothing. This was a lucrative employment for young

women at that time. She was thus able to furnish beds with bedding, sheets and pillow cases, as well as beautiful

table cloths and towels of her own handiwork. Her weddining cloak was very long and of scarlet broadcloth, being trimmed with silk velvet ribbon, nearly three inches wide. Her bonnet was of black velvet, with very little trimming. By economy, they were enabled to add to their farm from time to time until it contained between two and three hundred acres, and to build two additional barns and a convenient farmhouse. Mr. Hibbard introduced the first Spanish merinoes into the town, having bought a pair of lambs, for one hundred dollars, of the consul from the United States to Spain. Two spinners were hired two or three months in the summer, and, some years as many as two hundred pounds of wool were manufactured into cloth, Mrs. Hibbard doing the weaving; the cloth, when dressed, compared favorably with imported broadcloth, and brought from a dollar and a half to two dollars a yard. These spinners worked in the room where she and her little daughter performed the household work; and while the work went on beautiful hymns were sung. As the girls grew to womanhood, they took the place of the hired laborers. Mrs. Hibbard, after one day's sickness, folded her tired hands, gently closed her eyes, and slept the eternal sleep. This was in Brookfield March 6, 1864, at the age of eighty. Her husband survived her, and was unconsoled in his loss of her companionship. He died in Brookfield Sept. 27. 1871, at the age of eighty-nine. Their children were born in Brookfield, as follows: 1. Mary', born Oct. 24, 1809; married Ezra, son of Joel and Lois (Perigo) Wills Dec. 23, 1828, in Brookfield; he was born in Tunbridge, Vt., Oct. 1, 1808; and she died in Tunbridge May 27, 1859, at the age of forty-nine.
