Source: Ernest Hagen, skilled cabinet maker, memoir, circa 1858
In the fall we bought the property #213 East 26th Street and built a shop on it, and all went well for the next 2 or 3 years, when the great change came over the cabinet making; trade of New York. The factory work... drove everything else out of the market. All the smaller cabinet makers were simply wiped out. There are very few left now which make a scanty living by repairing; and even the larger establishments have a hard time in competing with the Western concerns of Grand Rapids in Michigan and other out of town concerns.

As I child, I knew I surely would be a prophet, as the Lord had showed me visions of things that had happened before my birth. My father and mother said I was intended for some great purpose.

To a mind like mine, restless, curious and observant of everything that was happening, religion became the subject that occupied all of my thoughts.

We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed... But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their duty to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of the women under this government, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to demand the equal station to which they are entitled.
