New information added:

In a 1901 edition of Ups and Downs it is noted:

Sisters

We are always glad when sisters can be kept near together, and it was very pleasant during a recent trip to find so many couples who met occasionally and were albe to help and advise each other. Sister ought to stregnthen each other all the time towards the right and be determined never to encourage each other in any course likely to be disatrous or in any way lowering. Mercy and Harriet Ponting were so near they attended the same church and sang in the choir together, so they met at the practices too, and had good times with each other. Both are strong, healthy young women and winning good homes for themselves.
