Excerpt from The Young Disciple, or a Memoir of Anzonetta R. Peters The only striking peculiarities that marked her early years, now recollected by her friends, were quickness of temper, uncommon sprightliness of mind, great physical activity, and strong affections. In re lation to this period of -her. Life her mother remarks, She was full of animation and spirits. She walked, or rather ran alone, when eight months old; and after she had once gained the use of her feet, she was seldom off from them while awake. All her movei ments were rapid, and her activity beyond any thing I have ever witnessed. This activity invariably at tracted the notice of strangers it was of so restless and ceaseless a character, that some have supposed it induced disease, and was remotely the cause of her early and premature death.
