Maria FitzSimons was tall, well formed and proud in her bearing and much more ambitious than the rest of us. She was courted by a young Irishman, John Bones. They were married at the "Hall" and Uncle Joseph Eve's daughter Mary Roma was married at the same time and place to Mr. James C. Campbell. On the following morning, these words appeared in the newspaper. "In former times it was said that Eve was converted out of a bone, but the Rev. Mr. Joice has found a method of reconverting Eve into bones. A still more astonishing phenomenon occurred at the same time and place. Eve turned into a Campbell".

Sister Maria had thick chestnut hair a yard long and large blue eyes. She spent her winters in Augusta and her summers at the Cottage and when there we were all as merry as children. She adopted sister Henny's second daughter, Hannah and was to her a thorough instructor. She came to an early end from consumption and like Sister Henrietta who survived her only four months, passed joyfully from suffering to glory.
