About Louise Alcott Willett
Louisa A. Snow Willett was the daughter of Henry Holland Snow and his first wife, Sarah Jameson, and the granddaughter of Benjamin Snow, the main subject of Owen Wilcox's 1907 book _History of the Family of Benjamin Snow_, which devotes pages 112-120 to her. She married the widower Louis Vimont Willett of Kentucky, but he died not long afterward, and she never remarried. She dedicated her life to teaching and is said to have been a "very devout and orthodox Christian." Upon the death of his mother and the request of his father, she adopted Gardner C. Tucker (son of Levi and Jennie Tucker) and raised and educated him for the ministry. He became the pastor of a church in Mobile Alabama. Mrs. Willett was a vigorous and independent woman who, upon her retirement, moved at the age of 72 to California, where she established a home on 160 acres, which she cultivated. "She named the peak east of her house Mt. Pisgah, and when her earthly life is o'er, she wishes to be laid to rest there in view of the promised land." (Snow book, p. 116)
