It has been the privilege of Ashuelot Chapter to number among its members two "Real Daughters," one of whom, Mrs. Louisa Hoar Harris, departed this life February 18, 1901. Mrs. Harris belonged to the Hoar family, distinguished in the history of Massachusetts and the nation. She was born in Westminster, Massachusetts, August 22, 1805, a descendant of John Hoar, who settled in Scituate, Massachusetts, about 1643, and afterward removed to Concord. Her father, Timothy. Hoar, was sixteen when the British came to Concord. He soon after enlisted, serving as matross.
Mrs. Harris was a teacher before her marriage, a woman of strong character, devoted to her church and family. She was interested in history and politics and kept up with the times. Her sight was so good that she made a black silk dress for herself when over ninety.
