This is an excerpt from a letter written by my Uncle, William Wilcox, to the town of Arlington, Vermont, regarding the History of Arlington.

"Nancy Wilcox was formerly Nancy Paine. The Paines were influential wealthy people. The story is that Nancy was asked by Quincy Adams, later President of the United States, to marry him. She turned him down and married Ozial Wilcox much to the distress of the Paine family, who disowned her. Nancy was a beautiful woman."

Ozial Wilcox (1)

Sylvia May Wilcox Hoover


Sylvia May Hoover was my mother in law for many years, it is for her grandchildren and gt grandson that I am posting information I have found. My memories of Sylvia are very complex. We had a very strange relationship but I find now that I am moved by her life and want to share my experiences with her. I feel it has taken me a lifetime to really understand the feelings I had for Sylvia.

Thought of the day

I Corinthians 13:1-13

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood. So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
