She was one of the first women to serve as a Trustee of Rutgers University. She willed more than $1,000,000 to establish the Wells Phillips Eagleton and Florence Peshine Eagleton Foundation, now the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University.[1] BiographyShe was born in Newark, New Jersey to Elizabeth Mary Jellip and Francis Stratford Peshine. Francis was a shoe dealer. They were reasonably affluent as is borne out by the fact that in 1880 they had three live-in servants.[2][3] She married a man twice her age, and that marriage ended in divorce. In 1913 she married Wells Phillips Eagleton (1865-1946), a neurosurgeon.[3] She was a trustee of the Newark Museum, a vice president of the Travelers Aid Society, and a life member of the New Jersey Historical Society.[4] She died on November 22, 1956.[5] References1. ^{{cite news|first=|last=|authorlink=|coauthors=|title=Eagleton celebrates anniversary.|url=http://media.www.dailytargum.com/media/storage/paper168/news/2001/12/03/News/Eagleton.Celebrates.Anniversary-154707.shtml|quote=The institute was established in 1956 when Florence Peshine Eagleton, active in the League of Women Voters, gave Rutgers an endowment to be used to promote civic education, said Chris Lenart, Eagleton's Education Programs director.|publisher=Daily Targum|date=|accessdate=2008-05-01}}{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 2. ^1880 US Census; Newark, New Jersey with Eagletons 3. ^{{cite news |first= |last= |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=Wells P.
