Excerpt from Verses The author of this little book, a native of Plymouth, New Hampshire, was born November 21, 1828, the daughter of John Ward and Mary Lawrence Webster. Her great-grandfather, the Rev. Nathan Ward, was the first minister in town, being installed in 1765, two years before the meeting house was built. Her mother, Mary Lawrence Webster was the daughter of Capt. David Webster, and it was in Capt. Webster's family that she spent her childhood and youth, Grandma Webster filling the place of her own mother, who died when Anna was very young. She was educated in the public schools of her native town and at Holmes Plymouth Academy. Her beautiful character endeared her to all her childhood and girlhood friends. Her love was of the kind that never fails, always showing itself in acts of kindness and thoughtfulness of others. The memories of those school days are very precious to all who were privileged to be her schoolmates. Before her marriage, Mrs. Ward taught in Haverhill Academy, Haverhill, N. H., in the Lowell public schools, at Salisbury Mansion, Worcester, 'Mass., and at Abbott Academy, Andover, Mass. She was an admirable teacher, always personally interested in the lives of her pupils. Mrs. Ward joined the Congregational Church, of Plymouth when she was sixteen years of age, and her life was consecrated to Christian service.
