Other Information

Barbara Hanscom Stuart of Quartz Hill, Ca. gives the following information: Hope 30, in 1870 census. Stone cleaned and repaired in 2022 Three of the Wordell girls, Ardelia, Hope, and Minerva, all became local schoolteachers. In February of 1872, at age 28, Minerva applied, and was hired as a teacher in the Fall River public school system. In 1893, she purchased a piece of land on Horseneck Road from Charles Cornell. As she got on in years, Minerva retired from teaching and she and her sister Hope found steady work as dressmakers. Hope died on February 8, 1928 at the age of 88. Ten days later, her sister, 84-year-old Minerva J. Wordell, died of heart disease. Both were buried in their family’s cemetery, the Rufus Wordell Burial Ground in North Westport.
