Dawes was born there. and when she

the Thomas farm, directly across the
little boy from the Dawes homestead.
It did not take long for the two families
to become acquainted. for Webster's
genial nature and winning personality
soon made him the friend of the entire
neighborhood. hirsunasves says that
Webster was a large man with a decid-
edly plain but intelligent face. He used
to walk around his farm wearing the
poorest clothes he could find, and always
with a large colored handkerchief
wound around his throat.
Mrs. Dawes said that Webster was
admired by the wealthy because of his
good nature and sociability and by the
poor because of hi‘ generosity. One
day he was 399de to speak at the opeir

remarks said; "If I had lilo children i

quent visitors at Marshlleld was John
Quincy Adams. Mrs. Dawes met Ad-
ams on difi‘erent occasions, but. always
said that. although‘he may have been
more highly educatpd than Webster. he
did not have as bright an intellect.
. Adams was inclined to finery..while
Webster always dressed in a more an-
conventional fashion. Although Web-
ster has often been accused of drinking
heavily. Mrs. Dawes said that. she never
‘ saw him the worse for liquor during the
long term of year! he lived at Mansfield.
She said that, although he never way a
communicant of any church, Webster

that he delivered to a young man who
failed to act with proper decorum in
the church one Sunday. Mn. Dawes
