Reminiscing with Susan

When “Miss Anthony” went to her birthplace for her birthday (Feb 15) to reminisce about her family news, intrepid New Englanders turned out, despite blustery weather.

The Anthony story begins in Adams, Massachusetts at the family homestead and Friends’ Cemetery. That home represents a fairly stable period in the relationship between the Anthonys and the Quakers.
