Many were the quarrels and discussions that arose in New England communities over the purchase and use of stoves, and many were the meetings held and votes taken upon the important subject. "Peter Parley" Mr. Samuel Goodrich gave, in his "Recollections," a very amusing account of the sufferings endured by the wife of an anti-stove deacon.
This allusion called up many reminiscences of anti-stove wars, and a writer in the "New York Enquirer" told the same story of the fainting woman in Litchfield meeting, who began to fan herself and at length swooned, saying when she recovered "that the heat of the horrid stove had caused her to faint."
