Hello my name is Elizabeth Lovejoy and I am going to tell you a little bit about myself and my life. I was born in Cambridge, a little town. I grew up and married a man named Walker Louise. We raised a family of 4 children. For awhile we were doing fine but then we went in debt. I decided to go to the mills. I was so devastated to leave my family and friends, but it was what I had to do. I worked in the mills for no more than 2 years but the time we got back my family had paid the debt and were doing fine. So we had a lot of pocket money. My husband died very young at the age of 40 so I had to raise the kids but actually all my 4 children had grown up and gone to marry. So I was a widow and so I ended my life alone and heart broken. So now I say slow down in life because it seems one minute too short.
