Wife of Lyman Decater Follett,married 1877.
Husband Lyman was a Kent County Probate Judge.He resigned in 1887, and left town.

*Date: January 12 1889
The Sheriff has left for Helena, Mont., expecting to find Lyman D. FOLLETT, who two years ago, when Probate Judge of Kent County, departed, leaving several exhausted estates that were entrusted to his care and several victims to forged commercial paper. FOLLETT was a bright young man, universally esteemed, and his sudden disappearance created a big sensation. He went from here to Mobile, where he borrowed money from a friend, and thence to Honduras, where he was safe from the law. He has a brother in law at Helena, and the police there have had special instructions to investigate all visitors. This week they telegraphed that a man answering the absconder's description was visiting his brother's house. FOLLETT's downfall was occasioned by dabbling in wheat.

Lyman died on an island near Panama in 1898.

Mother of Keith,Jane,Marion Elliot and Eva.
