Business woman

(1980 memoirs)
Henry's sister Frances and family didn't care for Lucretia because she was so bold and inquisitive about business matters which were better left to the men.  Frankie told me about it when I lived with her and went to Ripon College.  "When Father and my Brother Henry were talking about business, she went right behind Father's Chair and leaned over to read his papers!" she said, still with awe at the enormity of it.
