      the Cedarville area. Her father the Rev. Isaac E. Carey (1823-1902) was former Freeport Presbyterian minister and Beloit college instructor and trustee (intorduction to patr I, n. 107). Ida married George E. Abbott, a banker of Cheyene, Wyo., and the couple had two children. George Abbott died in 1942, having outlived his wife, whose death date is not known.

      From Ida May Carey
      Lake Erie Seminary -- {Painesville, Ohio} Dec. 5 - 1877

      My Dear Fellow:-
      Am I just a trifle outside of limit?
      I sue for pardon: have been home to eat my Thanksgiving dinner, & oppor-
      tunity for writing has not presented itself, until now. My recess extended from
      Tues. night to Fri. noon.
      By the way, are you aware that my stern sire is the fond & doting parent of
      two months-old twin boys? Truly, "Truth is stranger than fiction."
      I have arrived at an era in my existence when nothing can surprise me. I saw
      the babies for the first time when I was at home. They are splendid little fellows:
      fine heads, fortunately constituted, happy dispositioned, in short are well wor-
      thy the «u»respectable«/u» name of Carey.(1)*
      Two wks. from this morning, I shall start for home, (W.V.) the term closing
      at that time, for a vacationof two wks. Hope to returne next term, & bring a
      friend, one Belle Barnes, with me.

      Ida May Carey
      (David, Painesville, Ohio; SCPC)

      (1)* Ida May Carey's father, the Rev. Isaac E. Carey, married his second wife, Lucy A. Irwin
      Carey, on 5 Aug. 1873 and had seven children with her, including twin boys born in 1877.
