J. Goodspeed, on the 22d of October, 1863, at the Hyatt House, in Janesville, and who, from that date: to the time of his tragic death, if reports current in that behalf are founded on fact, led a checkered experience under her direction. She is represented as a dignified, agreeable woman, whom the finger of Time and affliction had touched lightly, with prominent features, dark eyes and hair (the latter parted on the side), and in make-up, manners and conversation, indicating the possession of faculties, character and nerve, rarely to be found without the pages of romance ; she appeared to the casual observer as a woman of power and will in a marked degree, yet, one susceptible to the influence of circumstances ; a woman of intellectual vigor, yet without the intellectual polish which fascinates and accomplishes where force often fails.
