It seems that Eugenia Fagris was a child born into the French Icarian Society of St. Louis, Missouri, a French-based utopian socialist movement, established by the inspired readers of the politician, journalist, and author Étienne Cabet. Cabet led his followers to the United States of America in 1848. Icarians established a series of egalitarian communes in the states of Texas, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and California, with the movement splitting several times due to factional disagreements. The last community of Icarians, located a few miles outside of Corning, Iowa, disbanded voluntarily in 1898. The 46 years of tenure at this location made the Corning Icarian Colony the longest-lived non-religious communal living experiment in American history.
Eugenia, along with a sister, Mary Sophia Fagris, resided in the communal housing/neighborhood located in Rock Hill, Central Township, St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri as enumerated in the 1860 US census.

"Jenny" died of cerebral apoplexy on 28 June 1878 at
1113 N 13th, St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri, United States.
