Polly REED

1803 - 1882  (78 years)

• Name	Polly REED  [1]
  	Polly never married, nor did she ever seem disposed to marry; and she even carried the sentiment to such an extreme that she never wished her brothers and sisters to marry. She preferred, instead, to remain at home, and she wished everyone else to do the same! But aside from that idiosyncrasy (which was the occasion for more or less merry-making in the family circle) she was a most delightful woman, just running over with goodwill. She cared faithfully for her parents in their old age, and in her own declining years made her home with her bother Newton, whose kindness to her never abated. She died April 8, 1882, at the home of her birth, aged nearly seventy-nine years. [1]
