Excerpt from A Biographical Sketch of Mrs. Orra White Hitchcock: Given at Her Funeral, May 28, 1863 South Hadley, and to a ladies' school in Roxbury, which was then one of the most celebrated institutions in the State. She was a fine scholar, not only in the common English branches, but also in Latin, Greek, and the higher mathematics, and early manifested that taste, (passion it might be called, ) for drawing and painting, which she after ward turned to so good account for her husband's use and the benefit of the public. Not only some of her teachers thought her a prodigy in learning, but - ao I am informed by a schoolmate and friend who still survives - her com panions of her own age and older, looked up to her as an oracle of wisdom, and a model of propriety, exclaiming, in admiration unmixed with the slightest ingredient of envy: If the girls were all like Orra White, how much better and happier our circle would be!
