Cornelia H. Dewey (b. Hiller) (1831-1891) was born in Hudson, New York,
and died in Albany, New York. In Hudson in 1849 she married John V. Dewey, a merchant,
and they went on to have nine children. By 1855 they had moved to Germantown, New York;
by 1860 to Catskill, New York; and by 1870 to Jersey City, New Jersey, where Dewey's
husband went into the hat business. They lived in Brooklyn, New York, for a few years in
the early 1880s, where Dewey's husband was a salesman, before settling in Albany where
they remained for the rest of their lives. In 1886 Dewey wrote to Mary Baker Eddy to
order a copy of
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures.
