iDR. MARY WALKER
| PASSES AWAY

DR.. Mary Walker, aged 81 years
died at her home on Bunker Hill,
near Oswego, N Y, Feb. 22nd, after
long illness. She was a surgeon
in the Civil War, was awarded Con-
gressional medal of honor and allow
ed to appear in male attire by an act
of Congress-. DR.. Walker led very
picturesque career Four years were
spent on the battlefelds of the Civil
war The remainder of her active
life was spent in fighting for femi-
nine dress reform and woman's right
to political suffrage, in which move
ment she was pioneer. She ire
ouently claimed to have been the first
American woman to attempt to cast
ballot in legal election. Her live
lihood was earned during all these
years by her private medical practice
and by her writing. By special author
Iization from the federal congress
DR.. Walker adopted male attire dur
ing the Civil War ard for the half
century since she had continued to
wear it in civil life. The only woman
in the Country who ever had her
rights in this respect prescribed by
the National legislatures. She wore
a black frock coat and a silk high
beaver hat and always carried a cane
DR.. Walker was also distinguished as
the only woman in history who when
held as captive in war was ex
changed as a prisoner OF war for
man of equal rank in the army OF the
foe. She was also the first woman
to be regularly in an army as sur
geon.
Born in Oswego, N. Y, in 1882, Miss
Walker was graduate doctor will
the degree of M. d. at the age of z;
years. Beginning practice immedi
, ately she soon adopted masculine
, clothes. Her war career began at tn
age of % years. In many respects
a most wonderful character has nov
passed to the other shore.
