Abigail Otis Needlework Sampler Situate, MA dated 1804

Item Details

Description

Title: Abigail Otis, Needlework Sampler, Situate, MA dated 1804

Provenance/Additional Info: Inscribed: â€œAbigail Otis Situate was born November the 16 1794. This done in the year/ of our Lord 1804 and in the 10 year of Age”.

Abigailâ€™s classic house sampler includes four alphabets and numerals, a verse reminding us that she made this sampler so we will remember that she once lived, and a large center-hall house with a gallery and fenced yard. Silk on linen; 22.5” x 17.5” in original frame.

When Death transfers me to the dust
May I be number'd with the Just
My soul ascend to worlds of bliss
Where dwells immortal happiness
See here I leave my name behind
Forgetful mortals to remind
That once I livâ€™d

But can I hope this slender webb
Entwin'd with party-coloured thread
When bronze or deep cut marble bust
With time is crumbling back to dust
Will give me life. Nayâ€™ but to live
I must to fame A trumpet give
With Virtue tunâ€™d

Abigail Brooks Otis (1794-1842) was the youngest of four children born to Ensign Otis (1747-1830) and Lucy Lapham (1766-1831). In 1804, age 11, she made this sampler and at age 22 she married Billings Merritt who was 7 years older than she and they had four children. At age 31 she married her deceased husbands younger brother, who was her age and they had 2 more children.
