Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Noted Mother and Daughter To have known the father of Agnes Nininger was to know that the daughter who so much resembled him, would, through the unerring laws of heredity, make and ¿ll a place during the progress of the nineteenth century peculiarly her own. Anthony Nininger was a native of Alsatia, France. He emigrated to America early in 1816 and marrying Miss Catherine May, settled in Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, where, after a long, useful and singularly prosperous life he died in 1866. He was the father of nine children, all of whom died in early childhood except John, who became brother-in-law of Alexander Ramsey, Governor of Minnesota, and afterward Secretary of the United States War Department--and Agnes, "the apple of her father´s eye." The gentle mother dying when Agnes was yet an infant, the tie between her father and herself became intensi¿ed. Possessing much of his genial, sunny nature, vivid imagination and strength of will, whether at home or at his place of business, the presence of the blue-eyed, rosy-cheeked girl prattler seemed indispensable to the father´s success and happiness. Thus, the peculiar business quali¿cations, executive ability and genius for orderliness and organization which have been such prominent factors in the life-work of his accomplished daughter, were being developed, unknown to herself, at an age when most girls are in the nursery playing with dolls.
