The Life And Testimony Of Hannah Dyson
The subject of this memoir was born at Shepley, near Huddersfield, in 1809, of poor, but honest parents. She was the eldest of a large family.

Her parents rented a small farm and kept a few cows, and Hannah had all kinds of work to do; yet she never refused to perform her task or murmured at her lot.
