6. Rebecca Poor Farnham Damon
Calvin Damon and Rebecca Poor Farnham were married in 1832. Rebecca was the sister of Edwin Farnham, Calvin Damon's former partner in the country store. She retained an attachment to her hometown of North Andover all her life, and briefly moved back with her young children when she was widowed in 1856. In 1857, she moved back to Concord and bought the David Loring house at 168 Main Street. The Damons had previously lived in Factory Village, and by moving to the center of Concord, she raised her four sons and three daughters in a home that was seen as a social center of town. She lived there until her death in 1882. Ruth Wheeler described the house at "the show-place of the village."
