Abigail Goodrich Wittelsey was an American editor and author.
Background
Abigail Goodrich Whittelsey was born on November 29, 1788 in Ridgefield, Connecticut, the daughter of the Rev. Samuel and Elizabeth (Ely) Goodrich. She was the descendant of William Goodrich who emigrated from England and settled in Wethersfield, Connecticut, about 1643. She was the granddaughter of Elizur Goodrich, 1734-1797, niece of Elizur Goodrich, 1761-1849, and of Chauncey Goodrich, 1759-1815, and the sister of Samuel Griswold Goodrich and Charles Augustus Goodrich. Until her marriage she lived in her native village, where her father served as Congregational minister, farmed forty acres of land, and sometimes took in pupils to be fitted for college. Her brother Samuel Griswold Goodrich (Peter Parley) in his Recollections (post) has left an interesting account of rural Connecticut during these years. She grew up in an atmosphere of thrift, energy, and piety, enjoying such educational advantages as her home and the local seminaries afforded.
Career
After her marriage she accompanied her husband to his country parish in New Preston, Connecticut Ten years later they removed to Hartford, where for six years she served as matron in the American School for the Deaf, of which her husband had been appointed superintendent. In 1824 she and her husband had charge of the Ontario Female Seminary in Canandaigua, N. Y. , and from 1827 to 1833 they conducted a similar school in Utica. While living in Utica she began the work that made her well known to her contemporaries - the editorship of the Mother's Magazine. For some years she had been active in promoting maternal organizations in church circles. As the mother of seven children and the wife of a clergyman she was well acquainted with the interests of women in the home; as matron and teacher she had observed a need for domestic and religious instruction. When, therefore, the Maternal Association of Utica noted that "among the multitude of periodicals of the day not one has been devoted to mothers" and promptly established such a publication, she became its editor and contributed regularly to its columns. The purpose of the magazine as set forth in the opening number January 1833, was "to awaken" mothers to "their responsibility"; "to call attention to the importance of having suitable schools and seminaries, " emphasize the need for "physical education, " and very particularly to stress the domestic education of daughters. In 1834 she removed to New York City. There the work prospered, attaining a circulation of 10, 000 copies by 1837, although a rival publication, the Mother's Journal and Family Visitant, appeared in the field in 1836. After the death of her husband in 1842, she carried on the magazine with her brother-in-law, Darius Mead, editor of the Christian Parlor Magazine. In 1847 she withdrew from the work for a year but in January 1848 resumed her connection with it under its new proprietor, Myron Finch. The same year Finch purchased the rival Mother's Journal, and, contrary to her wishes, decided to unite the two papers. Disagreement followed, and she severed her long connection with the magazine in 1849. From 1850 to 1852, aided by her son Henry M. Whittelsey, she issued a new periodical of her own, Mrs. Whittelsey's Magazine for Mothers, in which she continued to give instruction and advice. She hoped through the influence of mothers to raise the level of social and religious life. Her last years were spent in the home of a daughter in Colchester, Connecticut, where she died. She was buried in Maple Cemetery, Berlin, Connecticut.
Achievements
She provided in her magazine information and instructions on the role of mothers.
