soll told her adopted son who his 
real mother was. He sent to Bos- 
ton for a sculptor and had a cast 
made of her face, from which was 
painted the portrait which today 
hangs in the upper alcove of the Es- 
sex Institute in Salem. He also 
took his boy friends in to see the 
dead woman, and said, as_ they 
looked upon her: “This was’ my 
mother.” 
Devoted to Miss Ingersoll, at her 
death he had a cast made _ of her 
face, from which a portrait was 
painted that now hangs in _ the 
“House of Seven Gables.” The 
house was left by Miss Ingersoll to 
her adopted son. It was filled with 
most beautiful furniture, pictures, 
articles of wearing apparel and 
costly fabrics, including whole 
pieces of India silk and Canton, 
half-made gowns and others that 
had never been worn. Not knowing 
what to do with them, Mr. Bettis, 
who has just passed away, said 
that he took a room in a block on 
Essex street and disposed of the 
contents of 17 trunks. 
In the safe was a great deal of sil- 
ver, but this, as well as the fine old 
furniture, pictures and family relics, 
were disposed of or given away 
piece by piece until all of it was 
gone. Mr. Ingersoll could not bear 
to live on in the old house, and so 
rented it for seven years to. Mr. 
Bettis, but long before that time 
was up he became so homesick that 
he asked to return. 
Mr. Ingersoll’s last days’ were 
spent in poverty, his wants being 
supplied by his friends. At his 
death he left one trunk full of treas- 
ures to the late Hon. William D. 
Northend of Salem, among which 
was the cast taken of Miss Inger- 
soll, which was sent by the family 
to the Essex Institute, where it can 
be seen today.
