wife of Solomon Allen Paddock

1900 lived in Princeton, Bureau, Illinois

Angelica H Paddock 71
Angelica H Paddock 18 (grandaughter)
George H Paddock 48 (son)

Mrs. Paddock has lived in Princeton all her life since the arrival of the family in this city, save for the period of fifteen years, which she spent with her son, George H., in the army, acting as his housekeeper. He was graduated from the West Point Military Academy in the class of 1873, and is now stationed at Fort Wingate, New Mexico, in command of the Fifth Cavalry of United States troops. Mrs. Paddock's daughter left two children: Allen Paddock Snow, who is now studying medicine in Keokuk, Iowa, and makes his home with his grandmother; and C. Goodrich Snow, who at the age of twenty-two years is pathologist at Cherokee, Iowa, and also assistant surgeon.

Mrs. Paddock owns a beautiful home at No. 906 South Main street, Princeton, one of the attractive residences of the city. She also owns a block and other houses, which she rents. She represents one of the oldest families of the state, her parents having located at Springfield two years after the admission of Illinois to the Union, when the entire northern part of the state was sparsely settled and Chicago was but a mere hamlet or trading post for the Indians. She has been for many years an interested witness of the many changes which have been wrought in Bureau county as it has been converted from an Indian hunting ground into richly cultivated farms with substantial homes, and here and there thriving towns and villages, in which are found all of the industrial, manufacturing and commercial interests known to the older east. She relates many interesting incidents of the early days when as a little girl she played with Indian maidens, when the homes were largely log cabins, when cooking was done over the fireplace, and when the house was lighted with candles. Spinning and weaving, too, were done by the housewives and the farmer plowed his land with primitive machinery. Years have come and gone and the Boyd family have always stood for progress and improvement. Mrs. Paddock has a very wide circle of friends, being esteemed by young and old, rich and poor.
