"Clarissa Cheney PITKIN and Frederick WOODBRIDGE were married in Manchester,
Conn. In 1822. They settled in Franklin Mills in 1838 and at once identified
themselves with the congregational church. Mrs. WOODBRIDGE, although not in the
strictest sense a pioneer, was obliged in coming west to give up much that was
most dear and congenial to her, but she had the broad sympathy and kindliness
which made her beloved by everyone. The sick and needy never appealed to her in
vain, and many a wanderer brought by the underground railway to her door was fed
and comforted and sent on to Canada. Of her three children, F.W. WOODBRIDGE,
living in Ravenna, was the husband of the lamented Mary A. WOODBRIDGE of
W.C.T.U. fame. C.D. WOODBRIDGE is a banker in Cleveland. Elizabeth P., (Mrs.
James W. CONE) the only daughter, has been identified with the Congregational
church fifty-eight years and is still living in Kent."
(From "Memorial to the Pioneer Women of the Western Reserve" published under the
auspices of the Woman's Department of the Cleveland Centennial Commission in
1896, edited by Mrs. Gertrude Van Rensselaer Wickham)
