Eunice Merton

Eunice Merton became part of the RHP historical record when she interviewed Jennie, a granddaughter of Mason & Fanny Oviatt, then published her own version of Jennie's oral history in the local newspaper. In the course of mining Eunice's columns for more Oviatt history, I discovered that Eunice also write about the trees and wildflowers she observed growing in Richfield. She also wrote about local legends that she encountered. I fell in love with her lyrical descriptions, and then with the legendary aura of Eunice herself. She deserves to be remembered. And so, this page will be dedicated to her
