Their Romance.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 26-Mrs- Mary
d. Crook. widow of Gen. George Crook,
United States army, died at Oakland,
Md, at $50 o'clock Tuesday morning.
The remains will be buried at Arling-
ton cemetery beside those of the gem
eral.
There is a decided romance connect
ed with her courtship by Gen. Crook.
She was a southern woman, born and
bred. and naturally affiliated with her
relatives and many friends on ''the
other side" Notwithstanding this.
the brave Union soldier wooed her
during the war and finally won
her. In February, 1865, while she was
visiting her sister near Oakland, and
the surrounding country was filled
with confederate troops, Gen. Crook
made desperate effort to see her, with
the result that he was captured by tn
enemy near her house and kept a pris
oner for several weeks. when he was
exchanged. He renewed his suit at the
first opportunity with SO much ardor
and success that the couple were mar
ried soon after the close of the war.
and his bride accompanied him to the
west. and was always near him in his
Indian campaigns Her tact and good
sense made friends for both of them at
= time when friends were needed.
