deed of BOOthby
Estate Transferred
To Sunset Home

The estate of the late Col. Fred
eric f.. Boothby Is now the property
OF the Sunset Home for Aged Women
Association OF this city for the deed
to the property was received by Ed
ward Heath. treasurer of the assoc
citation yesterday from the Union
Safety Trust and Deposit Company
OF Portland the executors Of the
Boothby estate.
Work has already started re-
modelling and repairing the Boothby
home in order that it may be used as
an old ladies' home in the future.
The campaign for the raising of a
$4,000 endowment fund for the Sun
set Home for Aged Women formally
opened on Tuesday evening. Nov. 20,
1923 with supper in the Congrega-
tional yestry. At that supper 100
solicitors were chosen. The solicitors
were divided into 20 teams each with
captain. Herbert l.. Emery OF
Waterville was chosen as campaign
manager by the Association.
According to the terms Of Col
Boothby's will the home was to be
given to such an Association II with :
In a reasonable length of time money
was raised sufficient to care for the
home. The sum of $4,000 was deter
mined by the executors or the viii
as the amount necessary for the up
keep of the home.
The result OF the first days cam
paigning was s5.3S225 which added
to the $9S67 pledged before the cam
paign started making a total of well
over $4,000.
At the end OF the three day inten-
sive campaign total of $2l,930.25
had been pledged. BY November
Goth the halfway mark had been
passed and after that solicitors work
ed steadily for months. the money
coming in slower than it did at first
but steadily all the same. and late
in the spring an amount between for
ty and fifty thousand dollars had
been reached.
AS the $4,000 fund was in sight
the executors decided to turn over
the deed to the Association and yes
terday it was received by Mr.. Heath

really fell in love with her. Uncle
Joseph Bonaparte, however, forbade
him TO marry her, threatening If he
did that he would cut off his allow
ance and foreclose the mortgage
which he, held on his farm.
But Prince Lucien defied the avun-
cular authority, and one night with
horse and buggy took Miss fraser up
to Trenton, where they were mar
ried by the Rev. DR.. BeaSley, father
OF subsequent chief justice OF the
supreme court of that state. Uncle
Joseph thereupon fulfilled his threat,
and drove the young couple from the
farm, whereupon they went to live
with the Frasers in Bordentown.
Then Maj. Fraser died, and to support
themselves Princess Anna and her
elder sister, Jane Fraser, started a
girls school and conducted it for a
number OF years, themselves being
the principal teachers. AS for Prince
l.Ucien, he spent his time in hunting,
fishing and gambling.
But after a number of years he fell
in with his cousin, Louis Napoleon,
then in exile in America. A warm
friendship arose between them, and
when Louis Napoleon returned to
France and became prince president
he sent for Prince Lucien Murat to
Join him in Paris. Lucien went, and
then sent back for his wife and chill
dren to follow him; but as he did not
SEM any money for their passage,
they had to raise the needed funds
from their Bordentown friends. Luz
Glen was made minister to Turin, and
under the second empire was de-
clared to be a member of the imperial
family and was appointed a senator
of France.
The first three of Lucien's four
children were born at Bordentown.
The eldest, Joachim, married
daughter of the Prince de Wagram.
The second was Anna. who married
the Due de MouChy, and whose
death has just been announced. The
third. Achille, married Princess Da-
dian and the fourth. Louis. married
Princess Orbellani. of Russia, who
bore him two sons. the elder of whom
married descendant of Marshal
Ney, and the younger married Miss
Helen Macdonald Stallo of Cincin-
natl. Many of the descendants of
Caroline Fraser have played con-
spicuous parts in the military. politi-
cal and social history of Europe in
the last half century.
SO thus. in that brief death notice
of one of the last surviving ladies Of
the last NapoleoniC court, is the germ
of an entirely true romance which,
adequately told without any imagf-
native padding. would fill a fascinat-
ing Nolume,-Washing Post.
