MRS. CAROLINE CUTLER (PLIMPTON) METCALF.

   CAROLINE CUTLER PLIMPTON was born July 21, 1809, in Medway. She married Sept.
25, 1835, Albert Metcalf, son of Dea. Jonathan and Mary (Pond) Metcalf. He was
born Sept. 20, 1808, in Franklin, Mass. They resided in Auburn, N. Y., where he
was the principal of a young ladies' school. Mr. Metcalf died Aug. 11, 1837, of
consumption, at his father's house in Franklin, Mass.

   Mrs. Metcalf became widely known as a teacher. In 1850 she was elected the
Principal of the Wheaton Female Seminary in Norton, Mass., and continued in that
position for twenty-six years, until her resignation in 1876. During this long
period she presided over that institution with distinguished ability, and was
recognized as one of the finest educators of young ladies in New England.

   The Rev. Jacob Ide, of Mansfield, Mass., in his historical address on the
occasion of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Wheaton Seminary, in 1885, which was
printed, pays a very fitting tribute to the character and eminent service of
Mrs. Metcalf in connection with that institution. Mrs. Metcalf was, indeed, one
of the most distinguished daughters of Medway.
