8th (March 1862), This morning I went ashore. There I rec. a letter
stating the death of my mother. I read and wept. Never before had I
such feelings. She died on Thursday, 20th, a few minutes before 4
o'clock…"
Occupation(s) : wife, mother, keeping house
Religion : Condensed from ‘History of the
Firelands’, by W.W. Williams : She was a regular attending member of the
Baptist Church of Ridgefield.
Because it met in irregular places like schoolhouses and private
dwellings, in 1835 the church was moved permanently to Norwalk and designated
the First Baptist Church of Norwalk.
Soon afterwards, members formed constituent churches in outlying
townships and Louisa S. Webb is among the eighteen signatories, 6 June 1836,
who united in Monroeville, to form a religious conference. Out of this grew the local Baptist
Church, which adopted the ‘Philadelphia articles’ for its organization and
worship.
