Eliza Ann Irene Ogden Mead, was a prominent woman socially, and possessed rare and beautiful virtues. Her mental activities and general interest in public affairs are shown by a diary which she kept open from her school days. Her house was the rallying point in the projecting of important plans for the good of the community, and where peace was made between contending factions. Modest and retiring, but broad-minded and benevolent, she was the center and inspiration of all good works in both church and community. She responded to every appeal of charity, and her cheerful presence was greatly appreciated in the homes of sickness and distress. Her tender nursing, timely counsels and general helpfulness endeared her to all classes, and her death was regarded as a public calamity.
