Susan Elizabeth Parsons Brown Forbes (1824-1910) was born on a farm in Epsom, N.H., the daughter of William Brown (1797-1887) and Lucretia Billings Gray Brown (1785-1875). In 1843, she worked in the Middlesex Woolen Mills in Lowell, Mass., and in 1845, commenced teaching in various school systems, including a Jewish School in Boston, Mass. It was while she was boarding in Boston in 1857 that she met Alexander Barclay Forbes (1836-1903), a Scottish immigrant and, later, founder of Forbes and Wallace Department Stores in Springfield, Mass. They were married in 1859 and seven years later moved to Springfield. The Forbes adopted Dorcas Gertrude M. Hitchcock (1871- ) in 1874, and in 1881 they purchased "Fatherland Farms" in Byfield, Mass., the colonial home of Susan Forbes' ancestors. Mrs. Forbes spent each summer supervising renovations at the Farm until the retirement of her husband in 1895, when they moved permanently to Byfield. Susan Forbes was an active member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, as well as various charitable organizations.

Resource

Forbes, Susan E. P. Brown, 1824-1910. Diaries, 1841-1908.

Title: Diaries, 1841-1908.

This collection consists of sixty-six diaries, 1841 to 1908, kept by Susan Elizabeth Parsons Brown Forbes. They contain daily entries, brief at first but longer as the years progress, concerning her social and occupational activities, e.g., mill-work, teaching, running a boarding house after her marriage; visits paid and received; attendance at lectures, concerts, and socials; shopping and sightseeing trips (e.g., Washington, D.C. and California); household chores, and problems with servants. The end of each volume contains extensive financial accounts as well as lists of letters sent and received. Much information is provided concerning the renovations performed at "Fatherland Farms"; her work with church and charitable organizations, such as the "Home for the Friendless" in Springfield; her activities with the D.A.R.; family illnesses and medical treatments; and her own unhappiness occasioned by marital discord during the mid-1880s. There are occasional references to national and world political events, such as during the Civil War. The diaries also contain entries pertaining to Susan Forbes' complete assumption of her husband's financial affairs, especially investments, following his retirement in 1895 due to poor health. Due to her own failing health, the diaries for 1907 and 1908 were kept for her by various companions, e.g., Mrs. M. E. Guthrie ( - ). The earliest volumes were frequently interleaved in almanacs. The 1884 diary contains a letter written in that year by Gertrude Forbes to her adoptive parents.
