ON the southerly part of the grounds
of the Walter Reed Hospital stands
frame house. and to tell the his
. tory of this house is also to tell
much of the life-story of a man who
for half century and up to the time
of his death in 1868 was one Of the fore
most citizens of Washington. 1t was
the summer home of Thomas Carbery.
the sixth mayor of Washington, his
service in that Office beginning June IA,
1922. and ending June Il. 1924.
But Mr.. Carbery's service to Wash
Ington is not to be measured by his
term as mayor. His predecessors in
that Office were Robert Brent, Daniel

THE CARBERY sPRINGHOUsE.

covered about two centuries later by
Father Joseph Carbery.
The captains sister Ann was MI
raculously cured of a "deep-seated tu-
NOR of a cancerous nature. In the
literature bearing on this remarkable
case one finds the names of DR.. n. p
Cousin, DR.. George A. Carroll and DR..
Thomas c. Scott. Dispositions affirma-
tive of the miracle were made by her
brothers, Capt. Thomas Carbery. Lewis
Carbery and Father Joseph Carbery.
and by Rev. Fathers Dubuisson. Mat
thews and Anthony Kohlmann of Holy
Trinity Church. Georgetown.
This miracle is treated by Allen Z.
Clark in his paper before the Columbia
Historical Society. The late John F.
Coyle wrote a long account OF 1t in
1901, and an account Of II, written by
the Rev. Anthony Kohlmann. may be
read in a publication issued by Jona-
than Elliot in 1880. entitled Historical
Sketches of the Ten Miles Square
Forming the District of Columbia.
Thomas Carbery had two brothers
who were important men in early
Washington. Lewis Carbery was for
many years surveyor of the county Of
Washington and was president Of the
Cloud in 1917 She was the daughter
of Abner Cloud, whose house is still
standing on the Canal road near where
the New Cut road joins, and the ruins
of whose grist mill stand between the
Canal road and the river. this side of
Chain bridge. Lewis had several chill
dren. His daughter Mary married
Joshua Richie; Martha married PIERCE
Shoemaker, and his son James married
Miss Elizabeth Reed of Pocahontas
county. Va.
James, another brother of Capt
Thomas Carbery, was naval archi-
tect and was long employed at the
Washington navy yard. He also mar
ried a daughter of Abner Cloud. Her
name was Emza.
Ann Carbery Mattingly left Mary
Susan and John Mattingly. Mary Susan
became the wife of Richard Lay, VINO
was an official in the Post Office De-
partment The Rambler believes that
Richard was the owner of Norway at
the time of Early's attack on the north
ern line of Washington's defenses. HIS
son Theodore was living at Norway
when he sold the property to Senator
Cameron and Col. NJ. NJ. Parker. who In
turn sold it to the government. One

The benefactions of Thomas Carbery.
especially to the Catholic institutions
of Washington, were large. He had
much to do with the organization OF
St. vincent's Orphan Asylum, in 1928.
and in a history of st. Patrick's par
ish it Is written that the first building
for the orphan asylum, which stood
on the west side of 10th street between

largely through the munificence of
