Eva Dufya lived, Egeria-like, concealed
in the sacred grove, where she, through in
fuence, rather than by words, impaired a
beautiful doctrine of life's wisdom to all
who came near her. Long may she blossom
at the Parsonage, pretty & fresh as rose,
and, though in time withering and growing
old as other roses, still will she retain an
impersbable fragrance of youth in her
quiet, active life as daughter, friend, and
mother to fatherless little ones. She will
never marry; her only passion in this world
was HcFtha.
