Clarissa Williams Winslow was born March 13, 1818, in Hunter Township and died at the age of 51, on July 29, 1869, in Newton Centre, Massachusetts. She was educated in the two-teacher, two room school in Upper Falls, became a teacher and later presided over the same classroom in which she had once been a pupil.

She was married in the local Methodist church on Thanksgiving Day, November 31, 1843, by Gardner Rice (schoolmaster to some of the Winslow boys) to Brackett Lord who was born January 4, 1819, in Ossipee, Carroll County, New Hampshire, the son of Wentworth and Sally (May) Lord. He died June 25, 1872. They raised a family of five children, three born in Upper Falls and two in Needham.

Theirs was a classroom romance as Mr. Lord was also a teacher in the village school. He also played a part in the California Gold Rush story.
