ES. ABIGAIL FILLMOEE, wife of Millard Fill-more, the thirteenth President of the UnitedStates, succeeded Mrs. Zachary Taylor as mis-tress of the White House. She was a womansuperior intellect, who in a different sphere hadproved herself an equally-devoted wife. AbigailPowers was the daughter of a Baptist clergyman, and hergirlhood was spent in Western New York, when it was afrontier and a wilderness.

It was while following this avocation that shefirst met her future husband, then a clothiers apprentice, ayouth of less than twenty years, himself, during the wintermonths, a teacher of the village school.
