Facts and Events
She was a college professor and the authoress of the Perkins Family written in 1918-1919.
"The years have passed, they have been full and sweet,
Love maketh life and life's freat work complete;
Sometime will come the setting of the sun
And with it shall the long, long life begun.
There will be folded hands and lips without a breath,
Here's to the Perkins children of the coming generation -
Fancy thounot, though weary, as if won,
The journey's end when only just begun
For not a mountain peak with toil attained
But shows a top yet higher to be gained
Therefore, still - Forward, Forward."
Maria Olus (Perkins) Hitchcock
