Esther (Harding) Dickinson was married for fifteen years to widower Consider Dickinson. Over the years Consider had accumulated "by industry, good judgment, and economy" a fairly large estate for the times. When he died at age 94, he left it all to his second wife, Esther. This appraisal, taken July 16, 1875, lists the real estate and the investments and their value.
