Pioneer Women of Ashtabula
The wife of Rev. Joseph Badger, whose history is so closely interwoven with this part of the Reserve, and whose descendants still live in Ashtabula, should be mentioned here. Although they did not permanently locate here until 1810, Rev. Mr. Badger, as a traveling missionary, visited at the homes, of its earliest settlers. His wife, who was Lois Noble, of Massachusetts, moved with him from place to place, bearing hardships innumerable, with the burden of the care of children and household upon her. Her husband says of her "She bore with Christian fortitude and patience the trials we had to encounter." His grandson, Lucius D. Badger, of Ashtabula, is among our most esteemed citizens.
Sarah Badger, daughter of Rev. Joseph Badger, married Rev. John Hall, who came to Ashtabula in 1809, and whose contributions to the history of the county have aided much in preserving DATA AND INCIDENT of those early days. She was beloved and respected by all who knew her, and well merited the devotion which her husband ever accorded her.
