Real Mother Goose Story Ties to Boston Old South Church
Elizabeth Foster, born 1605, married Isaac Goose in 1693, joined Old South church, died 1757 at 92. Her granddaughter’s song tradition inspired early verses. The Mary with the lamb tale centers on Mary Elizabeth Sawyer of Massachusetts and a lamb that followed her to school, leading to the poem’s creation by visitor Rawlaton. The yarn from the lamb’s wool helped fund church preservation.

Offer of a Teacher
An assortment of brief clippings recounts humorous or offbeat social vignettes. A concert singer, Mrs. Jessie Bartlett Davis, attends church and recalls a revival lead by a young, discordant vocalist. An old man in the pew misidentifies her as an opera star while offering music lessons. A separate street scene shows a fare dispute settled with soap, and public guidance on children’s sweets followed by a dinner quip about fractions.
