- From another researcher: Her mother died when she was a child. The following anecdote illustrates her childhood in the middle of the last century as well as the bonds that developed between her and her sister Eliza. There was not enough room at the table for everyone to sit down at once and the three girls had to take turns eating. Deborah who was older persuaded the two younger girls that it would be the same if they waited and let Deborah go first everytime. Then the two yonger girls who were close could eat together. When Deborah went to Watford to learn dressmaking. Lydia and Eliza had to do all the housework including making all the meals. This continued until Lydia was married. When she died at an early age she left a husband and three small children.

Alice was a Canadian who had been born at London, Ontario. They made their home in Miami, which by that time was undergong rapid expansion. He mde his living building houses during the expansion.
