Book excerpt: Excerpt from Frank Field Ellinwood: His Life and Work The biography was undertaken by request, for the benefit of relatives, intimate friends, and especially for the grandchildren of my Father. Hence many details pertaining to his childhood and youth have been given which might otherwise have been omitted. I wish gratefully to acknowledge the assistance given by my Mother, whose memory has supplied many interesting incidents. And thanks are also due to the Rev. Andrew Morse, whose carefully preserved letters from his College chum have enabled me to present those days, and the following Seminary years, as largely autobiographical. But warmest and most especial gratitude is rendered to the two devoted friends of my Father, Miss Ellen C. Parsons, editor of Woman's Work, and Mr. Robert E. Speer, who gave time from their busy lives to contribute - in chapters xv and xvi - the best pages in the Memorial. This record, of a life so full of high endeavour, and so far-reaching in its influence for good, and of a nature simple, tender, true and pure, - is given as a precious heritage to his descendants, and as an inspiration to them, and possibly to others, to struggle and achieve, and as far as in each lies, to leave like "footprints in the sands of time."
