ELIZABETH ROWELL THOMPSON
Daughter of Samuel Rowell, a farmer, and Mary Atwood, being one of twelve children and brought up under hardships and privations, Elizabeth had little schooling. At age nine she went out to work as a domestic servant at twenty-five cents a week.
Everyday I went over Miller's Run Bridge (built 1878, restored 1995) from VT Rte 122 to the school.
