Columbia college law school, gradual
ing in 1850. He was soon after ad-
mitted to the bar and commenced
practice In New York city as q member
Of the flrm, Gray & Davenport, since dis
solved.
His marriage to Miss Mary Lord
took place in October, 1881. Their
honeymoon was hardly ended before
Mr.. Dimmick was stricken with
typhoid fever. His young bride
nursed him with such devotion and
tenderness as only the noblest natures
can put forth. Day and night she vas
at his bedside, but the dread disease
was relentless, and on January 16, 1882,
three months after marriage, Walter
Dimmick died. The body was taken to
Honesdale, Pa, for interment, accom-
panied by number OF friends and
classmates at Yale.
Nearly heartbroken, the young
widow returned to her mother, who
was then living in Washington. Mrs.
Dimmick's husband left her good
deal of property, but much of this is
said to have been lost by unfortunate
real estate purchases near Washington.
Nevertheless she retained sufficient to
furnish her an income by means Of
which she has been enabled to live in
moderate luxury.
The deep mourning into which the
gil bride was plunged by the death Of
her husband WAS the commencement

MRS. DIMMICK

OF what seemed to be almost an end
less period of sorrow, for shortly after
this occurrence her only brother died,
and then, in 1889. came the death of
her mother, Mrs. Lord. followed three
years later by the death of her aunt,
Mrs. Harrison.
The house in Twelfth street, Wash
ington, where Mrs. Lord, Mrs. Dim
mick and Mrs. .Dimmick's grandfather,
DR.. Scott, lived was modest and quiet,
but was made happy by the indefati-
gable cheerfulness of mother and
daughter, who bore with patience and
even smiles the sorrows which
hurdened them. Occasionally Mrs.
Lords other daughter, Mrs. Par
ker, and her husband, Lieu
tenant Parker, would visit them,
and while their home was never the
place for formal social functions their
natural aptitudes for society kept this
charming family constantly in touch
with the best people of the city.
And now we come to the most inter-
esting part Of this history-that which

ed him. The marriage did not prove
to be a happy one. There was dis
sension and much bitterness. The
match was an ill-assorted one, and
it was an open secret that the home of
the Lords was not harmonious one.
Three children-Walter Scott, Mary
and Lizzie-were born to them. At
about the close of the war Mrs. Lord
left her husband, and, taking her two
daughters with her, returned to her
fathers home in Indianapolis. The
SOD, Walter, remained with his father
at Honesdale, where he died some four
teen years ago. His father, Russell F.
Lord, died few years previously.
His brother John, who when young
man had been such phenomenal sue
cess, bad become total wreck through
drunkenness and vicious habits. His
unfortunate family went to ruin as
we'll, the mother dying totally blind at
the home OF her daughter, who had
married canal boatman.
The old man himself is said to be
still living among the rocks of the
Delaware valley, overlooking the canal,
of which he vas formerly chief owner.
AttoE LILO IctuTi VI LIS QaQRQter,
Mrs. Lord, with her two daughters, to
his home in Indianapolis, DR.. Scott
was called to Springfield, ILL.,, to take
charge of Presbyterian institution
that Is now known as Concordia col
lege. Mrs. Lord and her children &C.
companied him, and all lived together
In a pleasant home on Seventh street.
For some reason the Presbyterians
failed to make a success of this college
and in 1874 the Lutherans took hold of
it and reorganize1 it.
Previous to his career in Springfield
DR.. Scott had been president of Ohio
Female seminary at College Hill, O.,
where General Harrison was receiving
his education, and it was there that the
future president first met Miss Caro-
line Scott, who afterward became his
wife.
When DR.. Scott found that the col
lege at Springfield was proving fail
ure he gave it up and took private pu-
pills, boys whom he prepared for col
lege. And the indefatigable old man
preserved and made q great SUCCESS of
this school, which he conducted in the
dining-room Of the house on Seventh
street.

Erskine Dimmick, and two years later
they ran away and were married, their
efforts to reconcile their relatives to
the union ha.ing proved unavailing.
Young Dimmick WAS the son of
Samuel E. Dimmick, one of the leading
lawyers of northern Pennsylvania.
The elder Dimmick was Republican
and leader Of that party in the state.
In 1874 he was attorney general of
Pennsylvania, and his name WAS about
to be put at the head of the party
ticket ut the approaching gubernato-
rial election when he died suddenly at
Harrisburg. Hislarge fortune Was left
to his three sons.
Walter Dimmick, having been pre-
pared for college at Stockbridge, Mass,
was later graduates from Yale college.

credit upon her excellence OF charac-
ter and intelligence Of mind. She was
q rare musician and was very active in
q social way, taking part in all
the amateue concerts and other social
entertainments. The fame of her
charming renditian of "Coming Thro'
the Rye" her favorite song, still lives
in the msmory of her old friends. She
was, in all respects, a superb woman,
gentle and kindly in her nature, re-
fined, cultivated and dignified, beloved
in the community, and actually wor-
SHIPPED at home. Under her loving
and careful training the finest traits Of
character we're developed in her chill
dren. Indeed, many Of tho splendid
qualities of this exceptional mother
live today in her daughter, General
Harrison's bride elect.

beautiful girl, graceful and dashing,
a fairy. like dancer and intrepid skater
and an entertaining companion in all
respects. Her little sister, Mamie,
the present Mrs. Dimmick, was at
this time only twelve years old. She
was not 30 handsome as Lizzie, but
was none the less popular among the
Juveniles. She was perfect brunette,
and was always spoken of as "the per-
feet image of her mother" She

HOUSE WHERE MRS. DIMMiCk LIVED
pertains to the beginning of the friend
ly association of the two distinguished
principals in the forthcoming ceremo-
nial, an association which, in the course
of time, assumed the Importance of a
function Indispensable to their happi-
ness.
Up to the year 1883 Mrs. Dimmick
had only such acquaintance with her
uncle-in-law as was derivable from oc.
casional visits to his family in Indian
apolis, and Mr.. Harrison, proverbial-
ly busy man, had always a very high
opinion Of his wife's niece, but his
knowledge of her was slight.
At this time, however, learning
that Mrs. Dimmick's health was
not go robust as was desira-
BILE it should be, Mrs. Harrison invited
her to come and spend some time with
her, arguing that the excitement of
the presidential campaign, which, very
naturally, absorbed the entire interest
of the Harrison family, would divert
her mind and improve her health.
Mrs. Dimmick accepted the invita-
ton and Mrs. Harrison's prophecy
proved true. Her health improved
rapidly, her interest in the election of
Mr.. Harrison grew intense, and this
excitement brought the color of per-
msment health to her cheeks.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Harri son were de-
lighted with her. and she soon became
prime favorite with the whole family.
When Mr.. Harrison was elected and it
became necessary to go to Washington,
Mrs. Dimmick accompanied the family
and, by special invitation of Mrs. Har-
rison, took up her abode at the White
House. Here her services to her aunt
we're invaluable. She had such grace
and tact that much of the weight of
social responsibility was lifted from
Mrs. Harrison's shoulders, and Wash
ington society rang with praise of her
and the benignant ease and effective
ness with which she assisted her aunt
at all her laborious social functions.
After the death of Mrs. Lord, which
occurred soon after the Inauguration
of President Harrison, Mrs. Harrison
took her father home to the White
House, and, at her request, Mrs. Dim.
mick continued to make 1t her home
as we'll.

brushed we'll back from her forehead
and held in place by little old
fashioned, fiat, somicircular comb,
which extended from ear to ear. Full
Of fire and fun and mischief, and pos
sessed of quick wit and trim figure,
she was great favorite with young and
old. And with all her jovial proclivi-
ties she had the courage of queen and
a certain unconscious artistic pose,
which she dropped into frequently,
standing with her hands at her sides
and has head inclined backward, that
was grace itself. At this early ags her
figure was quite mature and almost
perfect in outline and proportion.
Among other charming natural en-
dowments we're q pair of the prettiest
feet imaginable, and il her mother ever
had a weakness it was in the indul-
gence in harmless vanity in her daugh-
ter's perfect little pedal. She always
kept her supplied with the finest and
prettiest little shoes that could be had,
and as soon as pair began to appear
in the least worn they we're supplantsd
by new ones. But even this "spoiling"
partiality did not make little Mamie
vain. She was far too intelligent for
that, and. although only little girl at
the time. she was full of lovable traits.
Generous and impulsive, she was al
ways ready to Inconvenience herself
for the benefit of others, and while
quick as flash, she had certain firm
ness of character that was remarkable
in one 30 young.
In 1875, when DR.. Scott left Spring
field, Mrs. Lord. with her two daugh-
ters, moved to Princeton, N. j., where
for five years Mrs. Dimmick attended
Princeton day boarding school man
aged by Mrs. Moffitt, wife of one of
the professors of the theological
school. Later she attended the female
college at Elmira, N. Y.
The first marriage Of Mrs. Dimmick
was love match pure and simple and

in cases where there is marked opposi-
tion. 1t was in Princeton that Mamie
