"Grandma Lovering" was for many years a member of the Wardwell family. During the ministry of the Reverend Mr. Lockwood at the First Church, a large congregation assembled at her home to hear her profession of faith and admit her to christian fellowship, she then being a centenarian. By special invitation of the Trustees, she visited the State Fair at Portland, only a short time before her death, where her receptions and exhibition of the ancient way of spinning flax, attracted many visitors. She lived about one hundred and two years. -Annals of Oxford, Maine
