AN INTERESTING LIFE ENDED.
Mrs. Louisa r. Meserve Passed Away Yes
terday Morning.

Mrs. Louisa r. Meserve, whose death
occurred July 18th at Detroit, Mich,
at the home of her son, Lincoln r Me-
serve, for years secretary of the police
commission, was in many respects a re-
markable woman. The history of her
family has been identified with that of
the country from time prior to the es-
adjustment of it's Independent ce, and
with the most stirring events that have
played their part in shaping it's destiny.
She was born in Portland in March,
1872, and as baby figured in one of the
episodes of war 1t was in that same year
when the British fleet that had been in
Boston harbor was expected to make the
second bombardment of Portland. Her
father took the little one in his arms
and hurrying his family into wagon
drove 10 miles back into the country
where they might be safe from immediate
danger.
Mrs. Meserye was a lineal descendent of
Gen. Lincoln, of revolutionary fame. Her
great grandfather, her grandfather, her
father, her son, her only survivor, she
AOlsS1i, ebi1 NlSW peuSlO1lS from Ul0 united
States government, showing the long line
of soldiers to whom her life was linked.
They fought on behalf of the government
in every war it has had, that with Next
co included. Aside from these associa-
tions Mrs. Meserye was in herself wom-
an of admirable traits and rare acquire
ments. She was one of those old-school
ladies that seem by right of inheritance
to keep alive the courtly graces of the
early colonial days. Her education would
not be accounted finished one even
in these progressive times, and until
within the last year of her life she was
constant reader of such books as one en-
joys who build upon a basis of substan-
tial knowledge. Her conversational pow
ers were such as few possess and were
enhanced by the charms of that admira-
BILE womanhood which has never been
touched by an ambition to reign outside
the sphere of home She was a tender,
loving woman, whose life fitting passed
from peaceful sleep to death.
