Of the little group Of ~ women patriots
who organized that body more than 30

century of years, she was one Of the
most active members OF the organiza-
tion almost up TO the time Of her last

Not only was Mrs. Lockwood identi-
fled with the founding and the prog
ress OF the ID. a. r., but she was an ac-
tive figure in the Women's Republican

Her chronicles OF Washington history,

writers

qua. New York, In 1881, daughter of
the famous Smith family, founders of

pany him on his way 10 the front that
she went TO Washington, where she
lived the remainder Of her life.
The memoirs Of Mrs. Lockwood. da-
ting from the time she accompanied
her husband to the capital during the
Civil War, are remarkable for their in
terest and brilliant wit Even until her
last days she easily remembered and
vivIdly pictured tales of battles fought
near the city, and OF the panic follow
ing the Confederate threats against
Washington and Baltimore.
Aside from her memoirs and political
writings, she produced several volumes
which gave clear and exact history OF
Washington ond Of the many notable
persons who have lived and worked
there. Her book on the historic homes
OF the city Is regarded as an authority.
