Memories of the Calls 10 - Elizabeth Joslin Challice

Elizabeth Joslin married John Challice. They never came to America. Her husband was a religious worker. I think we have nothing the corresponds to it here. Elizabeth has four children, E. Anna, Flora, a son and Rose Mary. Anna and Flora came to Stafford in 1900. Anna worked for us for a while and for Lizzie Daniels, and then for many years for Mr Frank. Benedict. She died October 9, 1933. She was a sweet girl, and very ladylike so one would know she had been brought up in a home of refinement. She and her brother had epilepsy when small, and it affected their intellects. Flora is a sweet capable woman who stayed here and cared for mother Call until her death. She visited in England and married Samuel Radley. She is active in church and temperance work. Rose visited American relatives a few years ago. I think she is bright and witty. She has written fine letters to us.
