I was wondering if it was normal for woman to have children at a younger age during the time period around 1864. I was also wondering if a lot of women were widows during that time period.

You should ask your teacher those questions, Tess! (But give her a hint -- the answers are in the teacher's guide.)

Dear Mr. Peterson, I really like how Betsy actually cares about Mrs. Baxter and helps her because she is a widow woman.
