She was a child of about seven years, very pretty, with fair complexion and light wavy hair. Mr. Beecher appealed to the congregation to ransom her from slavery. The basket was passed and about $2,000 collected. Miss Rose Terry being present, not having sufficient money with her, drew a valuable ring from her finger and cast it into the basket. There being more than enough to purchase her freedom, the ring was given to the child as her Freedom Ring. She was rechristened Rose Ward, after Miss Terry and Henry Ward Beecher. The drawing represents the child gazing at the ring, the emblem of her freedom." W. H. B. The artist, in a recent note from Nantucket, writes, "She came to see me a while ago, woman grown, and told me who she was."
