WOMAN long ago won recognition in the domains of literature and education, and in certain 
professional lines had competed successfully with man; but, until recently, had not demonstrated
capacity for success in the business world. Of late there has been a tendency among American
women to engage in business lines, and they have furnished therein many notable examples of 
successful work. Among those in New Hampshire who have succeeded in this direction is
Elizabeth Kilburn, wife of Daniel C Remich, and daughter of B. W. Kilburn of Littleton, the 
noted landscape photographer, and leading American manufacturer of stereoscopic views. A
descendant of John Kilburn, the pioneer settler of Walpole, whose herioc defence of his home
against four hundred savages during the incursion of the Canadian Indians in 1755 made the
name immortal, she inherited the energetic and self-reliant spirit of her ancestry, and, on
the completion of her school course, instead of devoting herself mainly to fashionable life
and social pleasures, she chose to direct her attention to the increasing demands of her
father's business, in where she had ever taken interest, and was soon able to assume full
oversight of the departments of manufacture and sale, in the management of which she has
developed large business sagacity, while her taste and judgement have proven of constantly
increasing value with reference to new plans and lines of work. Meanwhile she has neglected
none of the just demands of society or the claims of humanity. She is at home in the drawing
room, the literary circle, or in prvate and organized charitable work. She is a trustee of
the Littleton Public Library, actively interested in church as well as educational affairs,
enters heartily into her father's plans for beautifying the town and promoting the comfort
and enjoyment of the people, is in full sympathy with her husband in his reform work and other
activities, and neglects no movement in the community where her power for the good may be
exercised.
