Soon after the first trains were sunning between Buffalo and Toledo, Charlotte took a trip "out West" to visit her brothers Allen, Silas, and Lafeyette who had moved with their famillies to Wood Co., OH. She stepped, with carpet bag in hand, from the train in Elmore, OH with many tales of this amazing journey. While on the train, the conductor had ordered her to remove her carpet bag from the seat, not once, but several times so a woman standing could be seated. She refused not once, but several times. When the conductor finally asked her to please put that carpet bag on the floor so this woman can sit down, she said, "Yes sir, I will and I would have done it in the first place had you asked me decent." She added, "There was good stuff in that bag, had that man known it." Charlotte was bringing her sister-in-law some Star soap bars, the first soap bars made in Buffalo.
She was the wife of Benjamin BUXTON.
Pheobe Dart was Charlotte Canfield Buxton's Mother. She was the second wife Jared Canfield. Catharine Sly would be her step Mother.
