Biography
From "Finding Ourselves" by David Toay Lowell, p. 372: "Harriet, daughter of Sampson and Harriet Rickard, was left motherless soon after her birth on July 12, 1863. Her father cared for her until she was twelve years of age, when he passed away. She then made her home with Aunt Lizzie, Mrs. Thomas Mitchell. Although she was very small, she possessed an unusual amount of pep, ambition, and determination." Harriet Bowden Rickard (the daughter) married Josiah Philip Paynter, in Mineral Point.
