Excerpt from Catharine Amory Parsons: A Memorial It is, indeed, as a. Wife and mother, as a bounteous giver of hospitality and dispenser of most gracious home influences, that her friends will best remember her; and so she would have liked best to be remembered. Brought up under a different system of education for girls from what now prevails, she felt that her home life ofiered full scope to her ambitions; and to this life she brought her finest powers and 1mwearying attention, finding in it time and opportunity for beautiful accomplishments, while from it was shed abroad a light of gladness and help to all whom she could reach.
