Of this marriage were born seven children, viz., John, Sarah, Andrus, Chauncey, Lewis, Geo. G., and Ira P. Ives. Of these all are now living except Lewis, who died at the age of twenty-nine, in the year 1854.
Hand in hand he and his faithful wife labored to bring up their children, teaching them how to labor and the necessity of industry, giving each one an opportunity of receiving the foundation of an English education. The mother, always consistent in her views of right and wrong, was very careful in the early training of her children, instructing them in what would make them good members of society. She united with the Methodist Episcopal church when about twenty-four years old, and was afterwards baptized, and as long as she was able, and for more than forty years, took an active part in doing all she could to promote the interests of religion in the vicinity. She died November 22, 1873.
