Biographical History

Ophelia was the youngest and last surviving child of James and Miriam Cohen Dent of Hofwyl Plantation, Glynn Co., GA. Neither she, her brother Gratz (1881-1932), nor her sister Miriam G. (1883-1953) married. After their brother's death, the sisters operated Hofwyl as a dairy, and their friend, Pierre S. du Pont set up a trust for them. Ophelia traveled to and with her wealthier friends from Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC, and supported a wide range of Christian, Jewish, white, and black charities herself.
