Jim McAllister: Salem families linked forever by McIntire masterpiece
The couple then relocated to a house on Federal Street not far from Sally's childhood home. In 1835, Sally passed away, and George, as often was the custom, married her sister, Betsy.
Despite a slew of suitors, Betsy had remained single. According to family tradition, on the night of George and Sally's wedding, she made a vow to her lonely father that she would never leave him. And she hadn't; the loyal daughter lived with Jerathmael until his death in 1827.
Peirce's demise may have been hastened by his own financial collapse, which, ironically, culminated in the selling of his beloved mansion the same year Sally and George had to sell their Chestnut Street property due to bankruptcy.
Happily for George and Betsy, the buyers of the mansion were also family friends.

Faster Party-Switching? Maybe the polls showing an unprecedently rapid Dem gain in party I.D. are wrong, as Michael Barone suggests. Or maybe party I.D. is just one more thing that's moving faster these days. 12:09 A.M. Hot New House Polls: A new wave of 41 Majority Watch robo-polls** shows Dems leading outside the margin of error in 222 seats, leading by less in 18 more--for a likely Democratic gain of 19-39 seats. ... P.S.: See also Mystery Pollster's seemingly scientific "mashup" of the two most recent Majority Watch polls, revealing a continued, if small, Democratic gain for the month of October. ... P.P.S.: How does MP's calculation, which adds up voters in 30 contested House districts, differ from that Greenberg/Roper/NPR poll kf sniped at a couple of weeks ago? That's easy.
Blocking the Wrong Guy
The defense and ST are playing their hearts out ; you can't leave them hanging by not kicking a FG there. Alex Smith just had three awful throws in a row there: the sideline pass to DJack-Ass was underthrown, then he overthrew the next one ; then rolled out and couldn't hit his guy. Alex Smith might be the worst NFL QB I have EVER seen and Mike Nolan may be the most overmatched coach in the history of the game. Posted By: NoTalent | November 12 2007 at 07:56 PM .
Slumming it is better than bulldozing it
This is going to be a big year for the wrecking ball. By the time it's over, two of the world's most famous neighbourhoods will be gone, replaced with scaffolds, cement mixers and the sort of well-meaning mistakes that have scarred the cities of the West for decades. The photo accompanying this article was taken on Christmas Eve in the sprawling Mumbai slum of Nehru Nagar. On an eerily quiet warm winter evening, photographer Subhash Kumar Sharma watched as a self-built, decades-old neighbourhood containing tens of thousands of people emptied itself out in advance of wrecking equipment. High-rise office buildings and carefully planned public-housing towers, some already built, are replacing this old, peaceful, rambunctiously squalid neighbourhood. This is merely a foretaste of the demolitions to come this year in the world's most densely populated city.
