Excerpt from The Jerico Papers: A Quaint and Amusing Side of Early New England Life

The family consisted of Sister Jones and her son William. William was also a fixture, so to speak. He sawed wood for his neighbors, and carried letters to and fro, from the village to the Post Office; but William's intellect was not on a par with the general public, and hence it came to pass that Sister Jones was in a constant state of worriment of mind, for fear She would die and leave William to the tender mercies of the the public. If I could only live long enough to see the latter end of William, said she, I believe I could die happy, even in the poor house. Sister Jones lived to see the deathiof William, and on the day of the funeral She re marked that William was a child of the King dom, and she firmly believed he had gone to that heavenly land, where the worm dieth not.
