| ton of Independence, and Historian Pres
colt. The deceased, who had so many ac-
quaintances here, had spent the winters in
this city for many years with her daughter,
Mrs. Charles Grayson Dulin, and was al
WayS greatly interested in everything con-
cerning the capital and it's development al
though she was hndered by her failing
health the last few years in taking an ac-
tive part in social life. Her long and use
full life came to an end at the Cambridge
