simply as "the strangers" The lady
always took her meals in her rooms
which in that day excited 40 comment
here, yet there was one. nnd only unt
thing mysterious in her condnc,-on
all occasions she was heavily yei'm;;
no citizen of Alexandria ever saw her
face
after some weeks the lady was ta-
ken sick. From the fact that the most
eminent physicians If Alexandria and
r chmond were called to see her
we knew she must be dangerously i'll.
No one had vouched for her; she was
not native of the Old Dominion, bat
she was a stranger and she was sick.
At that time was about IS. YOU will
know how to pardon the apparent van
ity al an old lady of near four score,
when tell you tha; then occupied a
promineat social position. and at my
suggestion several ladies OF the Old FAM
lies went with me to the hotel, Wher"
we rendered our services and offered
to do all in our power TO relieve and
comfort her We were assured both
b. the husband and at tending ply
sicians that nothing could lie Con :, that
all she needed Was quiet and rest, bat
that night more than one prayer went
up for the sweet voiced, yelled stranger.
Well, Inever knew just what her disea c
was, but in a few days she died and
was quietly laid at rest out here in the
old cemetery.
"Tne husband left Alexandria f.w
days after her burial, without telling
any one where he was going, and
was never seen there afterward.
Il think it was in the summer of1S17
that the flat marble slab bearing the
strange inscription was put up over
her grave in the night time, aud ifanl
one here ever knew by whom it was
done the public never found it out.
"Within n few weeks after this the
landlord, in whose hotel the 'strang-
ers' had Geen guests, received from some
foreign country. just where he never
told, a letter containing draft for a good
sum of money with specific instruc
tions as to how sufficient amount of
the money should be expendedin erect
ing around the grave brick wall, sur
mounted by q copestone, and that upon
the stone should be erected an iron
railing so high that no one could get
into the enclosure. The money was eS-
pended as directed, and the top Of the
iron railing was about nine feet from
the ground Aferward, regularly
every year until about 1885, money was
received from the same source and
spent in keeping the grave and encios-
ure in perfect condition. The remit
tances then ceased the gentleman who
had so long sent the money WAS sup
posed to be dead.
And so this piteous ard mystic IL
scription attracts the attention and
arouscs the sympathc,b CTR os!ty oftbe
visitor of the quaint, dreamy, historic
old city of Alexandria, and has for
three-q quarters of century Why the
mystery thrown about her coming,
death and burial; why the enigmat-
zeal yet deeply pathetic words employ
ed Ivy the "disconsolate husband" are
questions that ell these years have not
answered, nor is it probable that they
will be answered in the years to come.
