and Governor Samuel Ward of Rhode
Island, while she was distantly related
to General Marion, familiarly known as
the "'Swamp Fox Her father was a
man OF wealth and founder Of the New
York Bank of Commerce.
The educational facilities in her time
were not very great, So that she was
compelled TO leave school at the age of
IL. All the knowledge she acquired af.
terward was by means Of private tutors
and through her own individual efforts.
When Julia Ward was % years old
she spent the summe IN Boston and
there met Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe,
whom she afterward married. A week
after she was married, in ls43, she and
her husband went abroad in company
with another bridal couple, Dr. and Mrs.
Horace Mann. They visited different
countries on the continent and IL was
while Mrs. Howe was in Rome in March,
1914, that the first child was born.
The same year they returned TO Amer.
lea aud ooh up their residence in Bos.
ton, where DR.. Howe was closely identI.
Blind. She and her husband conducted
an anti.slavery paper in Boston before
the war. After the conflict she was
deeply interested in such causes as wo.
mans suffrage, prison reform, peace,
etc, and she was noted as n Unitarian
writer, preacher aud lecturer.
During the course of her life, Mrs.
Howe was at the forefront of many

though of the g%entlest spirit, Mrs. Howe
was for years "A most ardent woman suf
rsgist.
Mrs. Howe was Il frequent contribu.
tor TO some of the best magazines of
the country. She was also a poetess who
found ready response in the hearts OF
the people and tnen, AS IN evidence OF
her versatility, she turned her pen ia
play writing, at which she was also sue.
c%essful. Perhaps her most famous work
was the "Battle Hymn of the Repub
he which is taught TO every school
child in the country today. This work
was written by Mrs. Howe after a visit
TO the camp of the Army of the Potomac
during the war.
Mrs. Howe was one of the organic

which became one of the most infiuen
