 Mrs. Macy was born in 1866, daughter of poor Irish immigrants who had settled in Massachusetts. Her childhood held little happiness Added to the terrors of bad father who, after his tubercular wife died, called on the devil to choke all his children who raised their voices above a whisper, was the little girls realization that her own eyes were not like those of other children. Anne Sullivan was taken to m almshouse where she wns reared, until 1t was discovered she was gradually going blind. She was ad- mitted to Perkins Institute for the Blind wheer she learned the things she taught Helen Keller.
 Miss Keller, overwhelmed with grief, issued Q statement through her friends in which she said:
 My teacher is free at last iron, pain and blindness. I pray for strength to endure the silent dark until she smiles upon me again. "She has gone from me a Mttis while but I shall feel her presencl anew when my eyes are blessed with light, my ears saved unto har. mony and my imprisoned lila se' free.s

Mrs. Macy was a heroic, self-effacing person. The results of her teaching of Miss Keller, who, blind. deaf and mute from child hood, became the worlds intellec- tual marvel, was better known than Mrs. Macy herself. But her life was poured into Helen Keller's tri- umphs.
 She first became associated with Helen Keller in 1886, when she travelled south to become teacher to the seven-year-old child who had been deprived of sight and hearing by a babyhood attack of scarlet fever. They were together until death intervened, working for the same causes-peace and for the blind throughout the world.
