About this ebook
In 1866, Judy Candler was nineteen and had lived in Ohio attending school since the death of her mother in 1857. Her mother’s family fled Virginia in 1840 due to the conflict between their Quaker beliefs and slavery. Her mother returned to Virginia to marry and bore five children before her death. It was time for Judy to return home to help her father and surviving siblings in the years after the Civil War. Classmates and family in Ohio filled a thin volume with keepsake verses written with the mindset of pacifists during war and in the cadence of well-educated Quaker Seminary students. These are their words.
