Irish writer Maria Edgeworth was born on January 1, 1767 in the county of Oxfordshire in England. In 2003 I was north of Oxfordshire in the county of West Yorkshire, in the town of Holmfirth where the British sitcom “Last of the Summer Wine” is set. I was also once somewhat to the west of there in the county of Somerset, in the town of Bath where I toured the Roman baths and the Bath Abbey and I took a boat tour on the River Avon.
According to http://www.quotationspage.com, Ms. Edgeworth said, “If we take care of the moments, the years will take care of themselves.” She died on May 22, 1849 in Edgeworthstown, County Longford, Ireland.
P.S. Martha Washington (wife of George Washington), born on June 21, 1732, died in 1802 (or maybe it was June 2, 1802)… French writer Victor Hugo, born on February 26, 1802, died in 1885… U.S. writer Langston Hughes, born on February 1, 1902, died in 1967… U.S. naturalist and writer Joseph Wood Krutch, born on November 25, 1893, died in 1970. According to http://www.born-today.com, he said, "Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many ailments, but I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia." Amen!
