Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Josephine Mellen Ayer: A Memoir
Massachusetts, and died on January 3, 1898, in Paris, France. Her life, for the most part, was cast in pleasant places. A believer in reincarnation would say that she enjoyed the fruits of self-denial practised and temptations conquered and good deeds done in a previous state of existence. But however befriended by fortune, to all life brings its trials, its duties, and its opportunities. The burdens laid upon her Mrs. Ayer endured with such patient courage and fortitude that few besides herself knew that her life was not always all sunshine; the ohligations imposed upon her she discharged faithfully; her Opportunities she improved, not alone for herself, but for others, so that it maybe truly said many found this world a better place to live in because she had lived in it. In filling the psalmist's allotted span of life, she was a dutiful and loving daughter, a helpful and devoted wife, a wise and tender mother, and at all times a loyal friend.
