Person:Leah Paine (1)

Leah continued to live in the family home in Woodstock with her brother, Captain Amos Paine. There is a story that Leah, when she was very ill and thought she was going to die, sent for her neighbor, Captain Matthew Bowen's wife, Mary Dana, who grew tired of going to visit Leah so often and at last said, "You will surely die. It is an awful thing to stand in the presence of your Judge and Maker." Leah Fellows, angered by her neighbor's comment, became determined that she would not die and recovered, never sending for Lady Bowen again. Leah died years later and was buried on Woodstock Hill in Woodstock, Connecticut. The epitaph on her grave stone reads: "In memory of Mrs. Leah Fellows consort of Mr. Isaac Fellows who died October 16, 1801 AETATIS 68." source: Mark Fellows via internet Mdfellows@@aol.com
