Gram Fifield, Willis Cemetery, Hill Road, Dummer, New Hampshire
Yesterday I posted a picture of Hester's parlor mirror which is now in our bedroom. This is Hester Ann Ellingwood Fifield's gravestone.
When Hester died in 1895 many of her belongings went to my great-grandmother, Rose Ella Andrews, who had been raised in New Hampshire by Gram and Gramp Fifield. As far as I know neither Gram nor Gramp Fifield was a blood relative.
To make the story more intriguing, Rose Ella's mother, Alvina Frost (cousin of poet Robert Frost's father), had in rural Maine also been raised by Gram and Gramp Fifield.
