According to Charles Marshall
Graves, writing in the Century, the
poet Poe was two years old when his
mother, gifted actress, was living in
Richmond In the direst want.
Mrs. Poe's last stage appearance was
in the Richmond theater in October,
1911. The theater burned on Dec. 26,
and seventy eight people persisted with
it. Poe's father had died in the spring,
and Mrs Poe and the baby poet and
his younger sister went to live on Main

Allan.
Sixty years and more later Rosalie
Poe, the poets younger sister, appear
ed on Richmond streets in poverty as

few coins by selling photographs Of
her brother.
