Excerpt from Songs for Quiet Hours On July 25, 1914, at Epworth Heights, Michigan, Myra Goodwin Plants entered into life immortal. After a heroic struggle for health, her frail body yielded, but her indomitable spirit lives. One cannot think of her as dead. She was too high and strong and good to die. She was born at Brookville, Indiana, July 22, 1856. Her father, Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin, D.D., was a very prominent minister, author, and reformer. She was educated in the Indianapolis high school and in Mount Vernon Seminary, Washington, D. C. She taught in De Pauw University, and later engaged in W. C. T. U. evangelistic work. On September 16, 1885, she was married to Dr. Samuel Plantz, now president of Lawrence College. She was a model pastor's wife, endearing herself to all by her sweetness and kindness. A great part of President Plantz's success in building up Lawrence College is due to his wife's efforts. How little can bare biographical facts tell of the life of a soul! Myra Plantz was a wonderful woman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
