Excerpt from E. P. Roe: Reminiscences of His Life Our mother was always an invalid, and the housekeeper, Betsey Williams, who was a member Of our family for many years, became like a second mother to us in her care and devotion. But she was no disciplinarian, and I have heard that when Edward was in a Childish passion and She felt unable to cope with the situation she would pick him up bodily and carry him to my mother's couch. There he would sit beside her, not daring to move until he could promise Obedience, held spellbound by the authority in her keen black eyes, though she was too weak to raise her hand to her head.
