Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Memoriam: Lavinia Farnham Earth´s noblest achievement is Christian character - the fine gold of heroic goodness purified and minted in loyalty to duty with loving, unselfish service. This is the Bible meaning of virtue. God can create innocence; righteousness is human in origin and growth. A true, noble life, of many years, may have been in quiet, uneventful walks, and yet so full of calm vigor and genuineness, so exalted in purpose and so pure in sympathies, as to have a large hold upon other lives; and, departing from earth, linger long in fragrant, grateful memory. It were well to perpetuate the perfume and the radiance of such a life, - especially, as is the object of this memorial, for kindred and friends who find continual benediction in recalling a companionship that seemed to anticipate Heaven´s sweetest fellowship. Hence this sheaf of spontaneous tributes, which photograph the impressions upon a wide circle, of a woman´s life true to its best ideals. Lavinia Farnham was of a family of three sons and five daughters, children of Deacon Jedediah and Susan Johnson Farnham. Born in Andover (North Parish), August 16, 1806, she passed from earth at Sunnyside, Winchester, Mass., February 10, 1894. Her grandfather, Captain William Johnson, was a Revolutionary hero, and had an active part in the battle of Bunker Hill. Her father was a major in the war of 1812. He was one of the founders, and a deacon, of the church in North Andover, which was organized in defense of his convictions of truth.
