Eunice born June 19^th 1820. Married to Dwight I baptized her into the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter day Saints July 1^st 1838 I married her to Dwight Webster in Farmington Ct
Aug 4^th 1841. My Father Aphek Woodruff like his Father was a strong constitu-
tioned man, has done a great amout of labour all of his life. He commenced
attending a flouring mill & a saw mill at 18 years of age which business he has now
continued in for about 50 years, most of the time he has laboured through the day & one half
of the night. He never made any profession of religion untill I baptized him with all
his household into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on the 1^st day of
July 1838. Although my Father was not a professor of religion He was a
man of great charity, honesty, integrity, & truth. He made himself poor as to
wealth by giving to the poor & accomodating his fellow man by loaning money
and being surety for his neighbor, and always saying yes to evry man who asked
a favor at his hand.

I was born in the North part of the town of Farmington now called Avon, Hatford ^Hartford^
Co Ct, March 1^st 1807. I followed the same occupation of my Father
that of a Miller from my youth up until 1831. I assisted my ^Father^ in attending
the Farmington Mills untill I was 20 years of age, in the spring of 1827 I took
the flouring Mill of my Aunt Hellen Wheeler which I attended 3 years. In the
spring of 1830 I took charge of the flouring Mill of Mr Collins the Ax manufacturer
in South Canton Ct, at the end of one year it was demolished to make way for
other Machinery, in the spring of 1831, I took charge of the flouring Mill
owned by Mr Richard B. Cowles of New Hartford Connecticut. In the
spring of 1832 in company with my oldest brother Azmon Woodruff I
went to Richland Oswago County N York & purchased a farm & saw Mill
& setled down in business for awhiles.

Variant & divers are the lives & fortunes of man in every age of the world. While the
path of some are strewn with flowers & ease from the cradle to the graves with
naught to disturb their peace others apparently are marked victims of variated
misfortune accidents & dangers. The last named class is the one in whose ranks
I have stood through my infancy childhood youth & manhood up to the present
time so much so that it has seemed as though some invisible power or fate was
