The telegraph announced the decense of
Julia Dean, the popular actress who died
March 9th, at her residence, in New York.
She was daughter of Edwin Dean, of St.
Louis The St. Louis Republican, March
7th, says:
''The deceased was born in 1880, in
Dutchess county, New York, at the house
Of her grandfather, Samuel Drake, who
reared her until she reached the age of ten
years, when she joined her father, who was
at that time manager of the Buffalo Theater.
While in Buffalo she manifested extraordi-
nary elocutionary powers, and this talent was
successfully cultivated. At l3 years of age
her father took her to Mobile, Ala, as part
of a theatrical company, of which Messrs.
Ludlow & Smith we're the managers Her
success was marked. From there she went
to Cincinnati, and thence to Louisville, and
between those cities she alternated during
period of three years. She exceled in conn
edy, in which she exhibited an archness
that was very attractive. But her forte was
pathos. In after life she essayed "heavy
parts" though with Indifferent success
In 1876, accompanied by her father she
ess country, New York. While she was at
their house the manager of the New York
Bowery Theater rendered her an engage
ment, and she accepted it. Her debut in
New York excited a great sensation one
which lasted for a long time, and proved
highly remuneralive to herself and the
management. After her engagement had
been protracted for a long time, she COM
menced travelling, young as she was; as
star, aud at everyplace she appeared she in
creased 10 popularity.
In March, 1855, she was married to DR..
Hayne Of Charleston, South Carolina, son
Of the celebrated Robert Y. Hayne; her
husband was always considered by the Hayne
family as "a spoiled child" After decea ed
married, her popularity seemed to wane.
When she appeared in public she drew large
enough audiences, but there did not sp,
pear to be that great enthusiasm manifested
that greeted her at former times The peo.
pie, by their behavior, plainly said "You
we're ours until you married, now you are
DR.. Haynes"
In time she went to California, accom-
panied by her husband and one child. Her
husband, it is alleged, was an incorporate
man, aud did not bestow upon her that at
tentlon which husband should. Still she
continued 10 live with him, aud, with the
greatest Of molherly care, reared her family
Finally she left him, aud travelled to the prin
eipal cities of the Territories and new States,
and appeared professionally in each. Dur
ing this time she sought and obtained dir
Vorce lrOm DR.. Hayne. Afterwards she re-.
turned to New York. There she was mar.
ried, about eighteen months ago, to MIR.
James G, Cooper, the son of a well-to,do
family, now residing in New York city.
Last winter she visited her father in St.
Louis, and remained about three months
About the middle of last summer, she played
an engagement at the Broadway Theatre in
New York city. But her acting was moi
BY any means what it had been.
Julia Dean was essentially feminine, and
most affable in her manners. Her own sez
were extremely partial to her. Frederiks
Bremen, whom she met at Madame LIE Vert,
hospitable mansion, in Mobile, was great,
taken Sith her, both as a woman and an ar
tiste, aud pays her a beautiful tribute in
"Homes in the New World"
She was always relgiously inclined, and
was a member of the Episcopal Church
DR.. Chaplin, Of New York, once referred t,
her in torms of generous eulogy from hi
pulpit"
