From a family history, source unknown:
Esther set out the first orchard in Barnes Corners by raising trees from seeds she had brought with her from Connecticut. She raised enough trees to plant two good orchards in 1810. The last one of the trees, the Old Bitter One, was cut down in 1916.
Esther Stow, the mother of 12 children died at age 81. Thus went that departed spirit of the long cherished body, the mother who was never known to murmur or complain of the hardships of her affectionate family. As is it often times said, "Now I laid away to rest to turn to dust Mother thou has left us and thy loss we deeply feel; but tis God who has bereft us, he can our sorrows heal."
She was buried in Barnes Corners. Two years later, in 1858, her husband was buried beside her. Former relatives were taken from the family burial ground at Dye's farm and removed to Barnes Corners, where their remains are deposited all together that are dead, except James, buried at Rodman Village.
