Given the picture of Deborah with her spinning wheel recently added, this paragraph on page 47 of the above book is interesting:
"Deborah Kenney Bell belonged to and adorned a generation of masterful
women who were resourceful and provident. Like other girls of her day who
were raised on the upper Saint John her life from the first was full and
active. She became accomplished in all the arts and household duties
practiced by the pioneer women of her time. To this day can be found in
possession of her granddaughters samples of household linen that came from
her loom. Not only had she woven this linen but she had planted the seed,
cultivated and harvested the flax, prepared the fibre and spun the thread for
the loom. Attending personally to every detail of the complicated process in
its season, from planting the seed to the bleaching of the woven fabric. Busy
as she had been in her early youth mastering the essentials of pioneer life
Deborah had not failed to acquire some education."
