Lovace Baughman was 25 years of age at the time of her marriage to Daniel Gayman, and 20 years his junior, but she proved not to be an old man's darling, but a very efficient helpmeet, supplementing his efforts to add to his cultivable acres, to develop his material resources and to properly care for and rear his family. She was a worthy matron of the old school and together they worked out the scheme of life which destiny had allotted them, training their children in thrift and frugality, to be just and upright in intercourse with their fellow men and, above all, to revere the Bible and to make its teachings the rule of their lives, for they were God fearing people of the good old Dunkard faith.2
