Join us on Thursday, August 29, 7:00 PM, at the Museum to hear lifetime Richfield resident Bob Hooper share his personal memories about his Great Aunt Eunice Merton. Eunice was born in Richfield in 1894 and grew up on the family farm. Determined to learn modern methods of farming, she attended Ohio State University where she met scornful opposition from some of her professors who felt science and agriculture were no places for women. In spite of this, she was the first woman to graduate from OSU with a degree in horticulture. In 1934, Eunice opened the Merriam Hills Nursery on her farm located between Broadview and Humphrey Roads. She later became famous for her lyrical weather folklore, but her credentials as an astute business manager and farmer were impeccable. Eunice served as the president of the Summit County Farm Bureau in 1950 and was a trusted local historian and writer.
