GRANT-MRS. WILLIAM B. BANISTER. BY REV. JOHN P. COWLES. MEMOIR. ON Chestnut Hill in South Norfolk, in a square brown house of one story, with a kitchen, a parlor, two bedrooms at opposite corners, and a lighted entry on the street, May 30, 1794, was born to Joel and Zilpah Cowles Grant a child destined for a work in the education of women second in quality to none of the kind hitherto done in this land or any other. The plain house long ago burned to the ground, where this child first saw the light, stood near the summit of the hill, half a mile north of the Grantville station on the Connecticut Western railroad, and five or six rods south of a square turn which takes the traveler eastward to the Hartford and Albany turnpike, a mile and a half distant. Southward and westward the spot commanded a large and goodly prospect of hill and dale, farm-house, field and forest, mills and mill stream, whose waters rushing down a gulfy slope yielded a perpetual monotone, save in springtime and rain storms when the roar was nothing short of sublime. Hard by to the north-west slept and still sleeps a beautiful pond, with a treacherous bog on the north, and at the south an outlet, whose streams supplied music and served a grist and a saw mill before reaching a confluent near the present railroad station. The historic period of this pond had not been long enough for a fancy name, but it might have been called Grant's Pond, from the four Grant brothers, who with their well filled families, children and parents not less than thirty, lived near it within gun-shot of each other. Tradition delivers that these Grants were of the Windsor stock, and came thence to Norfolk in the earlier emigrations after the middle of the last century. Many of these Grants were strongly marked with the Scotch grit and toughness which so lately and so justly have made the name a household word for the world. Several, besides the subject of this sketch, were also marked with intellectual grace and strength which might have fitted them to work and shine, as she did, in the higher domain of mind. |
