Eunice White Beecher

Eunice White Beecher (née Bullard; pen name, A Minister's Wife; August 26, 1812 – March 8, 1897) was a United States author.

She was the daughter of Dr. Artemas Bullard and Lucy Maria White,[2] and was educated in Hadley, Massachusetts.

When Henry Ward Beecher, a clergyman, settled in his pastorate in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, in 1837, he returned east to marry Eunice, having been engaged to her for over seven years.

[1] Beecher was a contributor, chiefly on domestic subjects, to various periodicals, and some of her articles were published in book form.

During a long and tedious illness in her earlier married life, she wrote a series of reminiscences of her first years as a minister's wife, afterward published with the title From Dawn to Daylight: A Simple Story of a Western Home (1859) under the pen name of 'A Minister's Wife'.
