Then Mrs. Conley or Mrs. Connell sent it to me and the Board
sent the same way when my own beloved church sent me money. It was in
the time of Mrs. Sarah Fulton and she did not forget me when I was in
school. The Mission Band of our church sent me some money every year
after the first year that I went to school. Sometimes it was to the
answer of my prayers that the money came at the time I needed it to pay
my board and God be praised for those who from the bottom of their
hearts contributed in the grand and good work of education. For all that
I shall do in this life to help some one that needs help, I shall think
of the Lord's love to me and try and do what I can to bring them to the
Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world, and to God I owe my
life and my all, and if I should fail to love and honor Him I know that
He will not remember me before His dear Father in heaven.
Mr. William Lovett, the father of a large family, is one of the finest
gentlemen anywhere around the whole country, and is much beloved by all
who know him. The white people who board with him in the Summer time all
liked him, for he was so nice and quiet. He has a large family of girls
and boys and all are smart. He sent two of them to the Hillsdale College
when they had finished at the Ferry, and one was John Lovett, who
studied law, and the other one, Miss Etta Lovett, was a fine school
teacher and a music teacher.
