Excerpt from Address Before the Association of Oldest Inhabitants in Memory of Henry Augustus Willard
My grandfather Willard was a New England farmer of thrift, industry and integrity, but a man of very limited means, and all the children, at an early age, were taught the necessity of earning their own livelihood. On this account, my father's opportunity for securing an education was of necessity very limited. When a boy, he attended Walpole Academy, which was fully three miles distant from his father's home in West minster, and he was obliged to walk both to and from school even in the severest weather, except for the rare instances when he received a lift, as they say, from an accommodating traveller.
