1840, William E. (d. Nov. 18, 1858), son of Isaac and
Anna (Estes) Hacker, of Salem, Mass. ; lived in Phila-
delphia, Pa., and d. May 23, 1846.
In 1 83 1 she succeeded her sister Sarah [871-4] as Principal of the
Mulberry Grove Boarding School, in Leicester, and conducted it
successfully until 1839, when it was discontinued and she removed to
Philadelphia. She had much literary taste, which was rendered
more acute and discriminating by extensive reading ; and held a
facile pen, through which, and over the signature Ada, she con-
tributed many articles to the publications of the day. A large pro-
portion of these were poetical pieces written in promotion of the
anti-slavery cause, in which she took a lively interest. Many of
these appeared in the Massachusetts Spy and the Pennsylvania
Freeman.
