Belle, as she was mostly known, was my first cousin \"\"<\/a>twice removed.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think I ever met her, but certainly I heard about Cousin Belle as my father and great aunt Susan called her.\u00a0 She was the older daughter of Jessie Coffin Dalton and Richard Dalton and mother of Cousin Jessie<\/a> who I wrote about earlier.<\/p>\n

Belle was a pianist.\u00a0 She was frequently noted to have been to a church or an event and played.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know when or how she learned to play but apparently she liked it, and it was both a source of some income for her at times as a young woman and of social interactions.<\/p>\n
