Was the daughter of Joseph Dutton of Farmington, Conn. Came with her husband Orestus Root to Black River(then called Charleston). She with a sister of Mr. Root organized and held the first prayer meeting ever held in that town. She endured also some of the hardships of the early Christians of that day. One incident which she used to recall sometimes was the burning of her best dress by her husband. He became so enraged at her baptism in the lake that he went home, rolled up her very best dress, and threw it into the old fireplace on the fire. She also became the foster mother of her two orphan nieces who remained with her until their marriage. She was a kind neighbor and faithful friend, a valued nurse in sickness, often taking the place of the doctor who lived remote in those days, she was a true pioneer woman of Lorain County.
