They came from Albany to Buffalo by canal and from there to Cleveland on the steamer Walk-in-the-Water, the first vessel propelled by steam that traversed the waters of Lake Erie. She is spoken of with respect and kindness by all who know her. . ." " An only daughter, Lydia, who married Benjamin SHERMAN, was a lovely woman. She was found by the bedside of the sick and among those who had need of her gentle voice and helping hand, was a devoted mother, kind neighbor, and “Aunt Lydia,” as she was called, will long live in the memory of those who knew her."
