DIR. PIPES.
O.-When did you become acquainted
with Miss Josephine Greenlee? An
1875; was introduced to her soon after
she began teaching; l had no connection
with the School Board then; was appoint
ed a commissioner in 1880; was called to
treat Miss Greenlee professionally in 1876
Miss Anderson introduced me; she came to
nv office the first time; later called at
her home at Mrs. Mackim's; treated her
a great deal from that time on to the time
of her death; | saw her at her house, at my
office. and occasionally at my own house;
she first boarded with Mrs. Mackim in
1875; she remained there until the spring
of 1877; Miss Anderson and Miss Stephens
came to nv house and Miss Greenlee went
10 Mrs. Mix's, in the old Hobbs man
sion, on EOff street; Mrs Mix
left there some time that sum
mer; she moved down on Wood
street. and Miss Greenlee was there a
short time and then went to Mrs. Weede's
and followed her when she moved to La
Belle street; then she went TO Mrs. Smiths
on Chspline street; then l think che and
her sister began to keep house; l made
two or three professional visits TO her at
Mrs. Mix's, and two or three times q
marty of us was there playing euchre;
there we're not over three visits; never
went there alone, non professionally; on
two or three occasions while we were
there had learned che could play the
piano l asked her, and she seemed much
battered at being asked to play; once
OF twice some Of the party tried to dance,
only tried, for l could not dance; Mrs
Mix, Mr.. Harvey Ford and Others were
there; l don't remember dancing with
Miss Greenlee; l did not kiss her, if l did
dance with her; / never danced with her
when no one was there but the pianist;
Pm not sure that ever danced with her
at all. While she was at Mrs. Weede's,
| I was called, professionally, two
or three times, while she was
on La Belle street; never
called otherwise; she boarded at Mrs.
Smiths considerable time; she was con-
fined to bed there, and l may have been
called to see her five or six times-perhaps
a time or two more; never called on her
personally, unprofessionally, there, but
NAV have met her and talked with her,
while l was calling on others; there were
other boarders there-Col. Travis and wife,
nd others; may have called in to see her
or twice, about the school, or some
p. when l called socially, l dom { know
who was with mel don't remember dis
tinctly about it, but l remember seeing her
once or twice, and probably asked her how
she was getting along; was treating her,
and had been for years.
Q.-After they began to keep house to.
pether, state whether or not you and Mrs
Pines called there? Ayes; we were
there probably time or two; Miss Green
lee had long spell OftyphOid fever then
that's when my wife went with me; we
were there two or three times; when they
lived on Jacob street, l can recall two visits
Mrs. Pipes and I made; we were there once,
for dinner, on New YEARS. day suppose
about 1885, OF 1856, somewhere there, but
know we were there for dinner; l dOn'i
know whether l went there with Mrs.
Pipes or not, but know l had to do some
professional work, and when l went in
they had finished eating dinner; they were
still around the table, and eat down and
ate my dinner; I often called profession
ally on both Miss Sue and Miss Josephine
the last time treated Miss Josephine from
July till September; she had a mild type
of fever, but finally died of brain trouble
l called on them sometimes to see about
the school; she was frequently left in
charge Of the school by Prof Crago, and
she would ask my advice about it; she
bought q lot in Bellaire, and wanted to build
house on it, and she asked me time or
TWO about that; once she sent for me, and
said she did not want to stop in the office,
there we're so many there; when she
