Margaret Dwight, b. April 14, 1804, d. aet. 41, Sept. 5, 1845. She was all her life a teacher, from the age of 16 to her death (1820-45). She began her work with teaching her younger sisters, which was quite the fashion in N. E. families in those days; and her work gradually extended from her skill in it and her enthusiasm until it embraced a host of pupils. She had a school of much note at Northampton and many remember her with great gratitude. Her moral characteristics were quite superior, and although not in the strongest sense of the term brilliant, she was very thorough, systematic and successful in her work. "She was at the same time delightfully religious. Her character was her real power in her work, and very great was the influence exerted by her over her pupils for their good." 6023. viii.
