Mrs Clementine Howarth, a poetical
genius. who never received an educa-
tion from books, but whose brain
the air, died recently at her home in
Trenton. She was 73 years old and for
many years had been a sufferer from
paralysis. says the New York Journal
Her wonderful work attracted the
notice of literary men, who could hard
ly believe that it was done by one who
had never been to school. Such writ
ers as Julia Ward Howe Lydia II.
Slgourney and Elizabeth Oakes were
her friends. On May II last her birth
day, the kindly, simple minded old
lady received visit from Mrs. Grover
Cleveland and Richard Watson Glider.
Mrs Howarth was born in Coopers-
town, n. Y. and was the daughter Of a
calico printer named Doran. The fam.
lily was pitiably poor, and Clementne
went to work in a factory when only I
years old She had learned to read
and write-that was all. In the garret
of her home were piles of pamphlets
and magazines left by former tenant.
They were as n gold mine to the little
imaginative girl.
When IS years old. she married an
Englishman. calico printer like her
father. and went to live in Trenton.
The invention of machinery took away
all the value of Howarth's skill. his
only capital. and he was reduced 10
the low pay of mechanic, with only
occasional employment.
Clementine had to do something for
the family. and she learned chair can
ing. Their five children died young.
Her husband became almost blind.
and she had to do all the breadwin-
ming. 1t was while Gaming chairs or
standing at the washtub that she com
posed her poems. The inspiration, she
always said, would suddenly come to
her, and she would write down the
words. Her effusions were first pub
lished in the local papers, with the sig
nature "ClementIfe.' During the war
she wrote verses bearing on the stir
ring events of the day that were popu-
lar with the soldiers and that We're
