Biography
Lucretia was born in 1875. She was the daughter of Francis Olmsted and Nancy Judd.
She married Chester Churchill and they had three children: Julia, Francis, and Mary.
She passed away in 1875.
Lucretia was a very accomplished person, far better educated than most women of her day, having studied Latin, surveying, navigation, etc., under the well known Dr. Strong of Hartford. She was a teacher of Latin and the higher branches in a select school in Hartford, having seventy pupils, at one time, under her tuition. After the death of her husband she resumed her former vocation for sometime in Newington. She was a woman of great energy of mind, and possessed a wonderful memory. She survived her husband by more than thirty seven years.
