witnessed Fifteen lamentations.

Miss katherine Wallace, who died yes
terday at her home, 2513 I street, in the
eighty-seventh year Of her age, was among
the Oldest residents of Washington. Born
in Ireland, she came to this city sixty-seven
years ago. She had seen the Inauguration
of fifteen Presidents, and remembered when
the locality Of Thomas circle was a farm;
when Lafayette Square was barren
waste and the greater part of Connecticut
avenue the rose gardens of Gardin and Vivian.
flower growers. Her memory was remark
able, and she could tell the most interest
ing incidents of the "old houses and their
owners" For years there was no figure so
well known in Lafayette Square as hers,
and she was always the center of a group
of children, who were devoted to her. The
children then of the Riggs. Niles. Cults,
Jessups, Freeman Blair. Miller. Stone. Glo-
yer, Cox, Eliot, Ramsey, Ray and Rathbone
families, respectively, are the men and wo-
men of today, most of them with children
of their own, and none of them will read of
the death of Miss Wallace without regret.
Her life refuted the charge that the loyal
servant Is a thing of the past, for In her
sixty-seven years Of residence in Washing
ton she had changed her home but twice.
The last thirty-seven years of her life
she spent as a faithful friend and devoted
nurse in the family of Mrs. Clare Hanson
Mohun of thfs city. Her funeral will take
place from st. Stephens Church. and she
will be buried in the Dorsey lot at Mt. OIL
