She wrote poems, hymns, sonnets, children's stories, essays, and letters for newspapers, as well as articles for educational and historical journals.

In addition to the Plumers and Cilleys, Waldron's ancestors included the Frosts, Sherburnes, and Pepperells of colonial note, through her mother, a preceptress in the Parsonsfield, Maine, and Strafford Academies.

[2] Removal during her childhood to Boston, Massachusetts, caused Waldron to be educated almost wholly in that city, through schools, private tutors, and her father's study full of books.

[5] "I may find it provoking when seven out of ten of my weekly papers have the same serial, or short story, or extracts from special correspondence, but perhaps the family next door has only one weekly and no daily paper; surely the well-written articles bought by a good syndicate are better for my neighbor's instruction and amusement than would be the trash possibly served to him otherwise."

[19] Waldron, lacking the aggressiveness of many less gifted, was a woman of unusual abilities and versatile talent, writing well always, whether in verse for special occasion, a hymn, a strong sonnet, a story for children, letters for newspapers, or articles carefully compiled for educational and historical journals, including the Journal of Education (Boston: New England Publishing Company).

[2] Waldron was a charter member of the D. A. R., a state officer of the W. C. T. U., and served as vice-president of the New Hampshire branch of the Sons of the Revolution.
