The Evening Star, October 9, 1967, p. B-4 Edgar Gaddis, 101, Director of Washington Bank, Hiker Edgar T. Gaddis, 101, whose resignation as a director of the National Capital Bank was turned down last year, died Friday at Washington Hospital Center. Although still in good health, Mr. Gaddis told the bank, "I feel I should make way for a younger man." But the resignation was not accepted; instead, the bank honored him at a banquet for his long service. Active Hiker Mr. Gaddis recently had undergone a cataract operation, hospital officials said. He lived at 1017 E. Capitol St. Mr. Gaddis was born in Washington just after the close of the Civil War.

Until several years ago, Mr. Gaddis was an active hiker. He has been a member of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club since 1931. "But I can't say that I have really given up hiking," he said on turning 100. "I am going to a meeting of the club Sunday night." He explained that he was delicate as a child and had no faith in

medicine. "I am a firm believer in the two great gifts of nature," he said, "the circulation of the blood and the sap of the trees." Beyond that, he believed a man had to preserve what nature gave him.

Until 10 to 15 years ago he smoked two or three cigars a day, but never cigarettes. He never drank except for an occasional glass of beer which he quaffed before going to bed. "Wiry and Tough" Once when asked if hiking was responsible for his continuing good health, Mr. Gaddis responded: "Well, maybe walking is good for the circulation, but I just happen to be wiry and tough."

Feist, Christian F., “Lucas Vischer in Washington: A Swiss View of the District of Columbia in 1825,” Records of the Columbian Historical Society, 1973-74, pp. 90-91 Second visit May 29-June 7, 1825 Gadsby’s Hotel This inn passes for the foremost in the metropolis. Gadsby formerly kept the Indian Queen Hotel in Baltimore and at that time his house is said to have been the best in the United States. Nevertheless he went bankrupt, and now truly starveling conditions reign in his house. All is aimed at pretence. Five chafing-dishes permanently decorate the table; butter and occasionally radish is put upon them. ‘The lunch consisted of a poor soup and two main dishes, roast beef and ham, roast veal and fish, and so on; vegetables scarcely sufficient for two or three persons, almost every day fried chicken which in fact are parched cocks with really not the least to gnaw off. What I liked best were the strawberries for dessert; they are eaten in this country with cream or milk. Gadsby is a scoundrel who wants to do it right by making empty compliments, his bar keeper is a rude, jovial Irishman, his servants are an unruly mob of Negroes. Since I had met with much ado about this house, I found it in reality even more miserable. They were impudent enough to charge me $2 for the room, the same as the Count who had one of the best rooms, but I insisted on lowering it to the fixed price of $1 1/2. Another inconvenience of this inn is its location so far up in the town, closer to Germantown than to the busy part of Washington. I had to hurry to get in three quarters of an hour from the Capitol to this place."

See the on-line "Biographical Directory of the U.S. Congress"

For details of the funeral and procession see “Pomp & Circumstance at Congressional Cemetery.”

The National Intelligencer, Tuesday, February 28, 1826 The House A message was received from the Senate, announcing the death of the Honorable John Gaillard, and that his funeral was appointed to take place tomorrow, at eleven o'clock, whereupon, Mr. Wilson, of South Carolina, presented the following: Resolved, unanimously, That the House will attend the funeral of the Hon. John Gaillard, late a member of the Senate from South Carolina, tomorrow, at 11 o'clock, a.m.; and, as a testimony of respect for the memory of the deceased, will go into mourning, and wear crape for thirty days.

The resolution was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Drayton of S.C. moved an adjournment--but withdrew his motion at the request of Mr. Tucker, of S.C. who moved that, when the House adjourn, it adjourn to meet tomorrow morning at half past ten o'clock, which was agreed to; and then, on motion of Mr. Wilson, The House adjourned.

The National Intelligencer, March 29, 1826 The late Mr. Gaillard was brought into public life by friends, whose object was to withdraw his attention from the contemplation of an overwhelming domestic calamity, over which he had long brooded in solitude. The youthful and lovely partner of his bosom, together with an infant daughter, perished before his eyes in the Santee. -- He was overwhelmed with grief, and gave himself up to solitude and despair. He would sit motionless, it is said, for days with his hat drawn over his eyes, and head thrown on his bosom. From this situation he was forced by his friends, who, after many efforts, succeeded in drawing him within the circle of social and political excitement.

Gale, Anson d. 11 Jan 1869 R8/11 The Evening Star, January 11, 1869 Suicide by Strychnine A Charge of Burglary Leads to the Fatal Deed On Saturday night, Mr. Anson Gale, residing in the building occupied by the tea store, No. 213 Pennsylvania avenue, opposite Willard's, came to his death very suddenly, as is supposed by taking a dose of strychnine. It appears that the proprietor of the store, Mr. C.G. Cornwell, has been suffering loss for some time past by theft, and could not account for the manner in which his place was entered. On Saturday night after 11 o'clock, he heard some one in the store, and going down was satisfied that there was someone in the place. Shutting the door, quietly he procured a light and again entered, when he noticed a man climbing over a pile of barrels, who left the store by an aperture in a board partition. Supposing the party to be the deceased, Mr. Cornwell went up to his (G's) room, called his son, and told him his suspicion. The wife of the deceased hard the noise made, and called her husband saying that the store had been broken into and they accused him (Gale) of being the party. The latter exclaimed, \"My God, I can never survive it.\" Mrs. Gale hastily pulled some clothes on and went into the hall to hear what Mr. Cornwell had to say, and in a moment heard her husband tell her son, who had been awakened, \"Don't cry; I'll soon be far away from you in another world.\" Hastening back to the room, she asked him what he had done, and he replied that he had taken poison. Drs. Miller and Lincoln were called, and promptly responded, but could not save the sufferer's life. It appears that there was formerly a sash in the partition, which was filled by short boards, being nailed in. It is alleged that the nails had been removed and screws substituted, so that an entrance could be effected at any time without making a noise.

The police of the second precinct were at once informed of the affair and were on hand before the death. Coroner Potter was summoned and requested Lieut. Tait to summon a jury for 12 o'clock today.

An inquest was held today at 12 o'clock by Coroner W.W. Peter, the following jury being summoned: J.P. Milburn, A.H. Voss, W.T. Nailor, I.V. Towers, James Phillips, A.L. Wallace, Wm. Finley, H.C. Tucker, James Shackelford, Matthew Byrne, E.F. Alexander, and Thomas Green.

Abram Carsin sworn: Noticed deceased was suffering with spasmodic pains Saturday night, and witness sent a man for Dr. Lincoln; in a few moments thereafter Dr. Thomas, Miller and son arrived. Deceased about a quarter past 12 o'clock.

James F. King, sworn: Saw deceased on Saturday night at 9 1/2 o'clock, in the house, looking very dejected, and did not see him afterwards till about 11 o'clock. Witness heard a noise down stairs and coming out of his room saw deceased going up to his own room; heard the wife of deceased say that night that deceased had committed a rash act, and that she could not help him.

Mr. Carsin recalled: Witness produced a two ounce vial labelled strychnine, and about two thirds full, which he found on Saturday night on the dormer window of the room occupied by deceased.

Mrs. Eliza Gale, sworn: Witness was the wife of the deceased and retired about 9 o'clock on Saturday night; some time afterwards woke up and found deceased in bed beside her. Deceased asked her to pray for him that his soul might rest with God; witness then asked deceased what was the matter, and he replied that before morning he would be far away and he wished to be buried in the green woods. Witness then asked deceased if he had taken anything, when he replied that he had taken strychnine.

Dr. Thomas Miller, W.W. Burch, and George Gale (an adopted son of deceased) were sworn and their testimony was to the effect that deceased had taken poison.

The jury, after deliberation, rendered a verdict that the death of Anson Gale was caused by a portion of strychnine, administered by his own hand.

Zeverly, Douglas, "Old Residences and Family History in the City Hall Neighborhood," Columbia Historical Society, Vol. 7# p. 160: Next to the southwest corner of 5th and E streets is still standing a dwelling which was built by John Marron of Georgia, who was Third Assistant Postmaster General from 1846 until his death in this city in 1859. It was purchased a few years after completion by Dr. Leonard D. Gale, who was the first occupant, and he had his home there until 1871. Originally there was a large yard adjoining this house on the east, but soon after Dr. Gale became the owner he built a one-story addition on this ground which he used for a library and laboratory. This addition has bee used for offices in recent years, and the other part of the house, also, to some extent, but the appearance of the entire structure has remained unchanged since built.

Dr. Gale was born in Millbury, Mass., July 25, 1800, and died October 22, 1883, at his home in Massachusetts avenue where he had lived since leaving E street. He first became a resident on Washington in 1846 and prior to that time was a professor of chemistry and geology in the University of the City of New York, having been a graduate of Union College and a graduate in medicine also. He came to this city to accept an appointment in the Patent Office, where he was Principal Examiner of Chemistry for eleven years, after which he was a patent attorney and chemist for many years.

While holding the professorship in New York above mentioned Dr. Gale became intimately associated with Professor S.F.B. Morse, who was then in the chair of literature of the arts of design, and had made but little progress with his invention of the recording telegraph. He readily recognized the fact that Professor Gale possessed superior qualifications for his associate and took him into his confidence, exhibiting to him the invention so far as he had been able, unaided, to develop it. Professor Gale being quick to appreciate the ingenuity of the inventor was as quick to see the possible success of the invention. His interest kept pace with that of the inventor and his assistance in further experiments made by Professor Morse was of great importance and value. Professor Gales soon comprehended the difficulty met in perfecting the instrument, and the means of overcoming it suggested by him was to utilize and combine Professor Henry's principles of the electromagnet, then unknown to Morse, by substituting many pairs of batteries for a single pair and to increase the coil on each arm of the magnet to many hundred turns. The result was that the current was sent through hundreds of feet of wire, whereas up to that time Professor Morse's instrument failed to do so through more than forty feet of wire. Professor Gale continued his association with Professor Morse while the experimental line was being constructed between this city and Baltimore and after that had charge of the inventor's business in the Patent Office.

Naturally Dr. Gale's professional experience in the sciences and his deep scientific researches, as well as his literary pursuits, made him very prominent among those of similar attainments and interests, and his home was, therefore, one where such society most often gathered. Dr. Gale was one of the trustees of Columbian College during its earlier history, a vestryman of Trinity Episcopal Church and a member of the Philosophical Society. The only child of Dr. Gale's, Mrs. Edward O. Graves, has been a resident of Seattle, Washington, for twelve years, but her son, Mr. Clarence Gale Allen, is still a resident of this city. The widow of Dr. Gale died in this city January 13, 1891.

Gales, Joseph b. 1786 – d. 21 Jul 1860 74 yrs. R55/165 The National Intelligencer, July 23, 1860 Death of Mr. Gales It becomes our painful duty to announce to the readers of this journal that Joseph Gales is no more. He died a few minutes after seven o'clock on Saturday evening last, at Eckington, his late residence, near this city. He was in the 75th year of his age.

Though this melancholy event was not entirely unexpected, in consequences of Mr. Gale's infirm health for some months past, it is none the less true that the blow so long suspended has at last fallen with a weight as sudden as it is afflictive. It is some consolation, however, to know that his end was calm and painless, as his life has been serene and virtuous. Full of years and full of honors, rich in the tributes of veneration and regard awarded by good and great men throughout the land, and beloved, as falls to the lot of few, by all who shared his nearer companionship in the home and the walks of private life, he has been gathered by the great reaper. Death a sheaf fully ripe for the harvest, into a garner made fragrant and precious by the fruits of a life ever noble in its aspirations and ever laborious in good works.

It is not for us, least of all at a moment like this, to write his epitaph, nor are words of formal commemoration needed to indite for our readers that eulogy which they, equally with us, are competent to celebrate in memory of his intellectual greatness. It were better that we should keep silent while as yet the startled ear seems caught by the sound of a voice crying with such thrilling emphasis from the scene of his former activities, like that voice which the Revelator heard from Heaven, saying, "Write, blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their words do follow them."

The National Intelligencer, July 24, 1860 Obsequies of the Late Mr. Gales The funeral of the late Joseph Gales will take place at Eckington this afternoon, at 4 o'clock.

The funeral procession will proceed from his late residence to the Congressional Burying Ground, where his remains will be interred. Carriages for the conveyance of the pall-bearers to Eckington will be in waiting at the door of Mr. Seaton, in this city, at 8 o'clock. The friends of the deceased are generally invited to attend the funeral.

As every person connected with this establishment will be engaged today in paying the last offices to the remains of their late venerated friend, no paper will be issued from this office tomorrow.

The National Intelligencer, Thursday, July 26, 1860 The funeral of Mr. Gales on Tuesday, was an event which it was the desire of the people of Washington, without distinction of classes or sentiment, should be marked with an expression of the deep and sincere veneration and esteem in which they held the deceased. Besides the tokens of respect on the part of all the branches of the City Government, which were recorded in this paper on Tuesday morning, many citizens made individual indication of their sense of the general loss. All the booksellers of the city kept their stores closed for the day, and some private citizens draped their houses in the habiliments of mourning. Notices of the deceased, couched in terms of the kindest remembrance, were prominent in the columns of all the city press.

At the late residence of Mr. Gales, and where he has had his home for the past twenty-five years, a very numerous assemblage of ladies and gentlemen were gathered to witness the last services in the presence of the remains of their venerated and respected friend. The President of the United States was there, and nearly the whole of the City Government, many of the officers of the General Government, and most of the leading citizens of the Federal Metropolis. In the course of the afternoon a numerous deputation from the City Councils of Alexandria came up to participate in the last honors to one for whom the people of that ancient and honorable town have invariable entertained an almost unlimited regard. Owing to the lateness of the hour at which the arrangements of the funeral were completed, the Alexandria delegation, with great regret to themselves, were compelled to return to Alexandria without taking a place in the procession.

At the head of the procession, which passed at a slow pace from Eckington to Fourth street, and thence by New York avenue to Seventh street, and down that street past the office of the National Intelligencer, to Pennsylvania avenue, was the Columbian Typographical Society, on foot. After them followed the employes of the office of this paper, interspersed with other citizens, also on foot. The cortege in carriages came next, conveying the officiating clergy, the Rev. Drs. C.M. Butler, Pyne, and Hall, who had conducted the services at Eckington, Dr. Thos. Miller, the family physician, the hearse, the family and friends of the deceased, the members of the City Councils, and citizens of both sexes The pall-bearers were Gen. Walter Jones, Gen.

R.C. Weightman, Richard S. Coxe, Thomas L. Smith, William L. Hodge, James M. Carlisle, William B. Lee and James C. Welling.

The City Hall was draped in mourning, as were also the office of the National Intelligencer and the Club Rooms of the Bell and Everett Association of this city, and suspended above the hall door of the latter was a large photograph likeness of the lamented deceased, enshrouded in black crape; and business was suspended for the day, the members feeling that they had lost a noble leader and an unerring counsellor. The office of the Congressional Globe, the residence of the Swedish Minister, and the hotel of Mr. Casparis were also shrouded with emblems of mourning.

As the procession passed the Intelligencer office the firemen's bells were tolled, and the scene was witnessed by many hundreds of persons who had gathered at an early hour in the afternoon for that purpose, all indicating the deep hold which Mr. Gales had on the popular heart.

The procession reached the Congressional Cemetery about seven o'clock, and as the sun departed serenely from a bright sky the remains of the beloved friend and benefactor were deposited in the grave, the clods reminding the spectators, amid the solemn words of the officiating ministers, that this was but the common fate of all, "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes," but also assuring all that there is a resurrection and life to come.

The National Intelligencer, July 26, 1860 Tribute of Respect to the Memory of Mr. Gales in Alexandria -- At a meeting of a portion of the citizens of Alexandria, assembled on Tuesday afternoon, for the purpose of paying due respect to the memory of Joseph Gales, Esq., whose death had been announced, the following preamble and resolutions were offered by James S. Hallowell, and the same unanimously adopted:

Whereas it having pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from this earthly abode Joseph Gales, Esq., and to transplant his immortal spirit to that "home not made with hands," "eternal in the heavens," therefore be it

Resolved, That it is with sincere regret that we have heard of the death of this distinguished man, whose course through a long and eventful life has been one equally remarkable for its purity and ability.

Resolved, That in his death the country at large, whose best interests he so ably and faithfully advocated for more than half a century, has met with an irreparable loss.

Resolved, That, as a mark of respect due to the memory of the deceased, we will attend his funeral this afternoon at four o'clock. Resolved, That the chairman of this meeting be requested to communicate a copy of the foregoing resolutions to the family of the deceased, as expressions of our sympathy felt for them in the affliction which they have sustained. Wm. H. Fowle, Chairman W.A. Harper, Secretary.

The National Intelligencer, Thursday, July 26, 1860 The Obsequies of the Late Mr. Gales The funeral services performed on Tuesday last in honor of the late Mr. Gales constituted, alike in their appropriate nature and in the number of those who participated in them, a beautiful tribute to his exalted character while living, and to his beloved memory now that he is no more. If he was justly honored throughout the land for those intellectual qualities which won the admiration and respect of his countrymen, the people of Washington and of the surrounding country sought to show, in the last sad offices so spontaneously and generally rendered to his remains, that they mourned in his death not only the wise man and able journalist, but also the good man and the faithful friend.

We cite from the "Constitution" of yesterday the subjoined reference to these manifestations of the deep veneration and affectionate regard in which Mr. Gales was held by those who knew him best:

"Pursuant to an order of the City Council the City Hall and other public buildings were draped in mourning yesterday as a mark of respect for the lamented Mr. Gales. The public schools were closed, and also a number of stores, profound respect for the deceased being thus testified alike by the civic authorities, acting for the whole community, and by private citizens.

"The funeral of the deceased was attended by the President (Buchanan) and the members of his Cabinet, the Boards of Aldermen and Common Council, a large delegation of the Columbia Typographical Society, the Bookbinders' Association, the City Council of the neighboring city of Alexandria, and a large number of friends. The procession moved from Eckington, the late residence of Mr. Gales, down New York avenue to Seventh street, and from thence through Pennsylvania avenue to the Congressional Burying Ground, where

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/12/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

his remains were consigned to their last resting place. The Intelligencer office, by which the funeral cortege passed, was hung with the drapery of mourning. In the neighborhood of the office, and on both sides of Seventh street, numbers of citizens congregated long previous to the approach of the procession, and quietly waited until it passed."

Perley's Reminiscences pp. 55-56 The 'National Intelligencer' was never devoted to Mr. Adams, as its proprietor had a kind regard for Mr. Clay, but it was always hostile to the election of General Jackson. Mr. Joseph Gales, its editor, wrote ponderous leaders on the political questions of the day, and occasionally reported, in short hand, the speeches of Congressional magnates.

Historic Houses of George-Town and Washington City pp. 472-475 The name "Eckington" brings vividly to mind the story of early Washington journalism; at the same time, it brings up the amiable personality of Joseph Gales, junior, for many years editor and owner of the "National Intelligencer." The name also nostalgically recalls the erstwhile rural beauty of the rolling farm land in the northeastern part of the District, now covered by a network of built-up streets.

As a very talented young man, Joseph Gales, junior, came from Raleigh to Washington, about 1807, to assist Samuel Harrison Smith with the "National Intelligencer." A few years later, he and his brother-in-law, William Winston Seaton, became the owners of the paper. Thenceforth, he was closely identified with the city's public life.

In 1810, he was elected President of the Washington Humane Society, an organization composed entirely of young men, whose purpose was to raise money for charities. In 1827, he became a member of City Councils and, in 1828, was elected Mayor. Throughout his life he bent his energies to the furtherance of the public good, both as an influential editor and also as an individual.

Eckington was the fulfillment of an ambition Gales had cherished since the beginning of his employment by the "Intelligencer." In his frequent walks to Sydney, the home of his chief, he was keenly alive to the rare beauty of the spot and resolved to have it for his own some day when he could afford it. Prosperity rewarded his industry and ability; before many years had gone by, he bought the farm that had so stirred his admiration.

In the meantime, in December 1813, he married Sarah Juliana Maria Lee, daughter of Theodoric Lee, and a first cousin of Robert E. Lee. She is described as "beautiful, intellectual and accomplished, noted for deeds of charity" and also for her great executive ability." It is scarcely necessary to add, she was an esteemed person in the social life of the young city.

When Joseph and Juliana Gales were on a visit to his parents in Raleigh at the time of the British invasion it is said their city house, at 9th and E Streets, narrowly escaped being burnt; the housekeeper had presence of mind to close all the shutters and put a sign "For Rent" on the front door. As the "Intelligencer" was known to be the Government organ, the printing establishment was fired and completely destroyed.

When Mr. Gales bought his farm, about 1815, he named the place Eckington after the village in Derbyshire, about thirty miles from Sheffield, whence his family came and where he himself had passed his early childhood. When he got the place there was only a small farmhouse on it, near the eastern boundary of the property, where the tenant farmer lived. Nevertheless, for some years Eckington farmhouse was a favourite resort of the "Bread and Cheese Club" whither Mr. Gales and his fellow-members often went for a country outing. At such times, to the prescribed and restricted bread and cheese fare of their city meetings, they added a beefsteak dinner with cherries and peaches for which the Eckington orchard was noted -- with, of course, a good country cream.

In 1830 Mr. Gales built his house, at the western border of his property. It was a two-story frame structure with attic and basement, and a back building with kitchen and servants' quarters. A wide portico, with six Doric columns, across the south front of the house commanded a broad sweep of wooded rolling country towards the Capitol and the waters of the Potomac beyond.

The ground floor of the main house contained four large rooms with a wide central hall; the upper floor had four large bedrooms and a twelve-foot-square study where Mr. Gales wrote many of his brilliant and statesmanlike editorials.

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/12/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

These editorials were potent in shaping public opinion throughout the country, but the attitude of the "Intelligencer" was so distasteful to the Jackson Administration that President Jackson saw to the establishment of "The Globe" [see Rives] as the administration organ.

His eminence in journalism brought Mr. Gales in frequent contact with all the public men of his period and he knew all the Presidents from Madison to Buchanan -- on friendly terms with most of them. Eckington, indeed, came to be a welcome "port of call" for Cabinet Members, statesmen, and visiting notabilities, all of whom found satisfaction, and generally profit, in discussions with their host.

In the summer of 1847, Sir James Bucknall Estcourt, one of the British members of the Northeastern Boundary Commission, when he had finished his official labors, spent several weeks at Eckington, accompanied by Lady Estcourt. During their visit, by a happy coincidence, it turned out that Sir James's brother at that very time was Rector of the church at Eckington. On their return to England, Lady Estcourt sent over to the Galeses a sketch of Eckington Church, done by the Rector's daughter -- a gift much prized for its associations.

Eckington's relations with the outside world were not limited to the visits of statesmen and journalists. It was a much-appreciated spot in the city's social life too. The wide hall was not only the customary scene of family prayers but it held crowding memories of merry gatherings for Christmas parties, tableaux, theatricals, wedding festivities and other occasions of cordial entertaining.

There is a story, once current, that a young lady closely connected with the Eckington household had musical ambitions. After arduous vocal training, she aspired to an operatic career. Eventually being given a part in the production of "La Sonnambula," she was to make her debut in the role of the "Sleepwalker," a lady whose traditional costume borders on the limits of scantiness. The "Sleepwalker's" traditional attire Miss ---- deemed not only immodest but positively indecent. She came on the stage wearing the prescribed dress, indeed, but underneath it she had donned an amply-flounced hoop-skirt, corsets and all! That ended her hoped-for future as a prima donna.

Mr. Gales retained his devotion to country life as long as he lived. In 1833 he was elected Vice-President of the Columbian Horticultural Society. He had an excellent garden and, without posing as an accomplished farmer, he delighted in raising fine livestock. One of his most cherished possessions was a silver goblet he received at the Maryland Agricultural Exhibition in Baltimore, in 1824. According to the engraved inscription, it was "delivered by the hands of La Fayette, a premium for fattest swine."

Mr. Gales died in July, 1860, in his seventy-fifth year, deservedly honored and beloved by his fellow- citizens, and nationally esteemed by American journalists. The leading journalists of the country showed their regard by erecting the monument over his grave in the Congressional Cemetery.

The Evening Star, October 16, 1879 Death of Mrs. Joseph Gales Mrs. Gales, the widow of the late Joseph Gales, the editor of the National Intelligencer for many years, died yesterday at her residence, Eckington, just over the city limits, east of North Capitol street, in the 81st year of her age. Mrs. Gales was a Miss Lee, of Virginia, and was recognized for years one of the handsomest and most accomplished ladies of the District. She married Mr. Gales just after the War of 1812, when quite young. Mr. Gales at that time (having previous to the war been a short hand reporter for that paper, then published by Samuel Harrison Smith) assumed the management of the Intelligencer. Mrs. Gales had no children, and since her husband's death she has seldom left her home, and for the past few years has gradually failed, her death being from old age. Her funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon from her late residence.

Sale of "Eckington" Ordered A Historical Estate A decree for the sale of "Eckington," the estate of the late Joseph Gales, was made yesterday by Judge Cox in the Equity Court on the petition of William B. Jackson against Juliana M. Gales, widow of Joseph Gales. James S. Edwards, Calderon Carlisle, and A.B. Duvall are appointed trustees to sell, on filing approved bonds of $60,000 each. They are to advertise and sell for one-fifth cash and the balance in four equal installments, payable in six, twelve, eighteen and twenty-four months. The proceeds are to be paid into court, and after an account by the auditor, distributed to the creditors of Joseph and S.J.M. Gales, and the heir at law. This place is a very handsome country residence, just north of the city limits, at the head of 1st street east, and was the residence of Mr. Gales, the senior editor of the National Intelligencer for a long series of years and subsequently of his widow. During the early part of the war it was occupied by the late Cranston Laurie, of the Post Office department, and his son-in-law, Theophilus Youngs, who is now engaged in New York in the attempt to prove that he is still alive to prevent his estate being handed over to his wife, who claims to be his widow.

Gallaudet, Peter W. d. 17 May 1843 87 yrs. R72/230 The National Intelligencer, May 19, 1843 In this city, on the morning of the 17th instant, Peter W. Gallaudet, in the 88th year of his age. All the excellences of the patriot, philanthropist, and Christian were in beautiful harmony in the character of this venerable man. Early in life he took his stand for the rights of his country, and shared in the battle of Trenton and other distinguished actions of the Revolution.

He was honored with the special confidence of Washington. His untiring exertions in originating and striving to establish the Washington Manual Labor School is a proof of his noble benevolence; and the Howard Institution of our city can bear witness how faithfully he devoted himself to the cause of charity. His whole life was a beautiful and instructive practical commentary upon Christian duties.

To him death had no sting, for the hand Divine had extracted it, and his victory over the grave was achieved through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died in great peace and holy joy. “Mark the perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace.”

His funeral will take place from his late residence on 12th street near E on Friday afternoon, at 4 o’clock. His friends and acquaintances are invited to attend without further notice.

The Evening Star, April 9, 1892 Death of Mrs. M.W. Galt One of Washington's Best Known Women Passes Away Surrounded by Her Family Washington will be shocked to hear of the death this morning at 6:30 o'clock of Mrs. Matthew W. Galt. Mrs. Galt has had such a host of friends in this city and elsewhere that her death falls like a personal bereavement on an extended circle. For one year she has been in ill health and lately was taken to the Adirondacks, where an improvement was hoped for. She received no material benefit from the trip, however, and a week ago returned to her home on H street between 14th and 15th, where she expired this morning surrounded by her family. Dr. Janeway in New York and Drs. W.W. Johnson and Frye in this city have exerted every means known to medical skill to keep up the failing strength of the patient, but without success, and the end gradually but surely crept on.

In Washington society and in every sphere of life's active work where good could be accomplished seldom have there been women who have been so much admired and looked up to as Mrs. Galt Her charities and Christian labors have been unceasing, and nothing short of death could cause her active brain to cease from planning and carrying out her good works. She has been especially active in the upbuilding of the Church of the Covenant and the Children's Hospital, and here as in other fields her generous aid and active assistance will be greatly missed. Seldom has there been seen so close a bond of affection and regard as existed between Mr. Matthew Galt and his departed wife. Boy and girl, friends in their childhood, they passed through youth, manhood and womanhood as devoted husband and wife. Mrs. Galt leaves five children, all of them grown. Mr. Charles E. Galt, the eldest, resides in Philadelphia. In this city are Mr. Walter A. Galt, Mr. Norman Galt, Mr. Sterling Galt and the only daughter, Mrs. Reginald Fendall.

The funeral will be on Thursday afternoon from teh home and the interment, which will be private, at Oak Hill.

The Evening Star, August 11, 1892 The will of the late Mary A. Galt was filed today. It was made July 15th and she leaves her estate to her nephew, Henry E. Davis (who she names as executrix) in trust to hold, use and apply for the benefit of her children to keep intact for one year and then divide equally between her four children.

Washington Evening Star, Thursday, June 12, 1902 Wm. Galt Dead -- Passed Away at an Early Hour This Morning Long and Active Life -- He Took a Keen Interest in Washington Had Seen the Capital City Grow From a Village to Town and From Town to City Mr. William Galt died at an early hour this morning at his residence at the northwest corner of 9th street and Grant Place. He had been unconscious for several days. His last movements were unattended with pain and his life slipped away with the calmness of a child dropping off into slumber. About his bedside were his nephews and his physician and nurses. The end was not unexpected, as it had been realized for some days past that he could not last much longer. There was no organic trouble, only the weakness that comes when the machinery of the body is worn out, and Mr. Galt was in his seventy-seventh year. Funeral services will take place at his late residence on Saturday, the 14th instant, at 5 o'clock p.m. The services, which will be in accordance with the rites of the church with which he was so long identified, will be conducted by Dr. D. J. Stafford and the interment, which will be private, will be in the family lot at the Congressional cemetery.

His Long and Active Life Mr. Galt was born November 8, 1825, at Alexandria, which was then included in the District of Columbia. He removed with his parents to Washington the year following his birth and has since continuously resided here. Through both parents he was of Scotch lineage, his father having been James Galt and his mother Eliza Veitch. His ancestors on both sides were among the early settlers of Maryland, his father having been born in Carroll county and his mother in Prince George's county, in that state, and it is a striking fact that while he was of Scotch lineage on both sides, all of his American ancestors were natives of Maryland.

His father in 1802 established in Alexandria the well-known jewelry house, which is now conducted by his nephew, Mr. Norman Galt, in the name of Galt & Brother. In 1846 on the death of the founder of the house, his sons, the late Matthew W. Galt and William Galt, the subject of this sketch, succeeded to the business under the name of Galt & Brother, in which name, as stated, the business is still conducted. Shortly prior to his illness, Mr. Galt referred with pleasure to the fact that he had lived to witness the one hundredth anniversary of the establishment of the house. He retired from active connection with the business in 1879, but retained a special interest therein until 1886 when his relation thereto finally ceased, but his interest in the house, which his father had established, and in which he so long took pride, never ceased, and until his last illness, he was a daily visitor to the establishment.

His Interest in Washington Although a man of very strong characteristics, he was unobtrusive in their assertion, but his interest in Washington and everything that pertained to its upbuilding and progress, was the deepest possible. He saw Washington pass from village to town and from town to city, and had the keenest interest in its future, now so much in the general public mind. He was especially attracted by the beauties of Washington in respect of its parks and trees, as he was by nature a devoted lover of both trees and flowers, as is shown by the care bestowed by him upon his beautiful home, in the grounds surrounding which are some of the most attractive trees and grasses in the city.

Mr. Galt was all his life in Washington a parishioner of St. Patrick's Roman Catholic parish and always manifested the liveliest interest in its affairs, as also in the affairs of all of the Roman Catholic Institutions in the District. Of an unusually charitable disposition, many stories are told of his charities toward the institutions, not only of his church, but also those of other denominations. The Children's Hospital, the Central Free Dispensary and Emergency Hospital, the Home for the Incurables, the Home for the Aged of the Little Sisters of the Poor, Providence Hospital, and, indeed, almost every benevolent institution in the city will long remember his many kindnesses and charitable deeds toward them, but the most striking feature of this phase of his character was that his many acts of private charity can never be known, owing to the unobtrusiveness with which he did them, and his almost shrinking from the thought of having them known of others.

Although indisposed by nature to exhibit himself in such a light, he was a man of large public spirit, and his wisdom and excellent judgment were often used on occasions to which he was known by but few to bear any relation. Although of decided views, and firm in their expression and maintenance, he was conservative in tone, a fact doubtless largely due to the racial characteristics which he inherited, and the fact already noted, of the small compass within which his American ancestors was born and reared.

For Forty Years in One House For forty years Mr. Galt lived in the home in which he died, and on the site of which as a boy he attended the once well-known McLeod's school, a fact to which he repeatedly referred with interest and pleasure. His long residence in the one spot was most appropriate to his characteristic conservatism, and it is interesting to note in this connection that the original homes of both his paternal and maternal ancestors in Maryland are still in possession of the respective families.

Mr. Galt was prominently identified with many local enterprises, among others the Arlington Fire Insurance Company and the Norfolk and Washington, D.C., Steamboat Company, of each of which corporations he was an organizing member and director. He was never married and was the last survivor of his generation. He has been preceded to the grave by his brothers, Messrs. Thomas J. Galt, Matthew W. Galt, George Sterling Galt and James Veitch Galt, and his sister, the wife of the late Henry S. Davis. He leaves surviving him as his nearest relatives nephews and nieces as follows: Miss Josephine Davis, Mr. Henry E. Davis, Mrs. Reginald Fendall, Mr. Wm. W. Galt, Mrs. Marion V. Elliott, Mr. Alexander H. Galt, Mr. Norman Galt, Mr. Sterling Galt, Mr. James Howard Galt and Mrs. Alexander H. McCormick, Jr.. Mr. Walter Allen Galt, who died last week, was also a nephew.

The Evening Star, Monday, June 16, 1902 Will of William Galt Bequests to Local Institutions--Medals for Pupils of Public Schools The will of William Galt, dated December 21, 1897, was filed for probate today. The Little Sisters of the Poor, St. Vincent's Orphan Asylum, St. Joseph's Male Orphan Asylum, St. Ann's Infant Asylum, the House of the Good Shepherd, the Washington Home for Incurables, to the Central Dispensary and Emergency Hospital, the Night Lodging House Association, the Children's Hospital and the Georgetown University Hospital, a legancy of $1,000 each is bequethed. The sum of $2,000 is given to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia to invest and to pay over the income therefrom annually to the board of trustees of the public schools of the District, to be used by the board or their successors in procuring medals or other suitable rewards for deserving scholars in the public schools, and for a like purpose the sum of $1,000 is bequeathed to the president and directors of Gonzaga College. To the pastor of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Alexandria is left $1,000 for the benefit of the deserving poor of that town. After payment of the above legacies, the estate is to be divided into three parts, one third to go to William W. Galt, Alex. Hunter Galt, Mrs. Virginia Elliot and the children of Frank T. Galt, a deceased brother of the testater; one-third to Howard Galt and Mrs. Eliza M. McCormick, children of James V. Galt, and the remaining third to Charles E. Galt, Norman Galt, Walter Galt, Sterling Galt and Annie Fendall, children of Matthew W. Galt. Reginald Fendall and R. Ross Perry are named as executors under the will, but by a codicil dated March 18, 1898, this appointment is revoked, and William E. Edmonston and John D. Coughian are substituded as executors.

The Evening Star, Saturday, September 14, 1867 Galt's New Building The Messrs. Galt Bros., jewelers, are having erected on Pennsylvania avenue, between 11th and 12th streets, a handsome iron front building, which will add greatly to the appearance and business importance of that part of the avenue. It will be built of the best brick, with an ornamented iron front of circular crown and crescent- shaped window caps; the height, four stories, (sixty-five feet), depth, ninety feet, and having a front of thirty- five feet. The building was designed by Mr. Wm. H. Baldwin, architect, who, in conjunction with his brothers, have the entire work under their charge. Messrs. Bartlett, Robins & Co., of Baltimore, are the

contractors for the iron work. By the 1st of November the structure will be finished and ready for occupancy. The lower story is to be used for mercantile purposes, and the upper stories for halls and offices.

The Evening Star, September 16, 1902, p. 6 William W. Galt Dead Washington Business Man of Prominence Succumbs to Consumption Mr. William W. Galt, a nephew of the late William Galt, died last evening at 7:45 o'clock at his residence, 1824 H street northwest. The cause of death was consumption. Mr. Galt's health began to fail about one year ago, and he went to Colorado to seek relief from the disease, but after remaining there for several months without receiving benefit, he returned to Washington in December. For the past five months he has been confined to his bed continually, under the care of a physician. He had grown gradually weaker in the past few weeks.

Mr. Galt is survived by a brother and sister, Mr. Alexander H. Galt and Mrs. Thomas Monroe Elliott, both of whom live in this city. The funeral will take place at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from the late residence. Rev. Dr. Herbert Scott Smith, rector of St. Margaret's Episcopal Church, officiating. The interment will be made in the Congressional cemetery and will be private.

Mr. Galt was in his forty-seventh year and unmarried At the age of fifteen years he began his business career as a clerk in the grocery house of G.G. Cornwell & Sons. When the senior member of that firm died several years ago, Mr. Galt became associated in the business with Mr. Samuel S Cornwell, under the firm name of G.G. Cornwell & Son. He was considered to be one of the best business men in Washington and he ws very popular among his acquaintances. Nearly all his time was devoted to his business, which grew to large proportions under his energetic efforts and he never became identified with any fraternal organization.

Gardiner, George A. d. 5 Mar 1854 R38/15 The Evening Star, March 4, 1853 The Conviction and Tragic Death of Dr. George A. Gardiner The morning papers have informed this community of the tragic end of George A. Gardiner, full particulars of which will be found in our local columns this afternoon.

We apprehend that there is no question in the minds of any among us, except immediate personal friends of the deceased, as to the justice of the verdict of the jury, who have in this action vindicated the majesty of the law, after a delay of years, though it has been. The present Government of the United, in carrying out the determination fo Ex-president Fillmore, to sift this matter to the bottom, deserve the thanks of all who desire to have our public affairs conducted on the principles of integrity which all conceive necessary to be preserved, in transactions to between man and man.

Public justice required its punishment and a Washington jury, in the face of the most remarkable efforts on record to screen its ostensible chief perpetrator, declared him guilty on the testimony adduced. We repeat, there cannot be said to be a difference of opinion in this community as to the fact of his guilt. He was sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment at hard labor, and died within a few hours after being surrendered into the hands of the United States Marshal’s officers, under circumstances which, as far as known, while we are penning this article, warrant the existing public impression that he committed suicide to escape the punishment awarded by the Court.

The circumstances attending his trial, prove him to have been a man of extraordinary nerve and sagacity. One who, had he pursued right paths with the boldness, energy and shrewdness he evinced in committing the devious fraud, and subsequently in defending himself against the prosecution on that account might have been anything in public estimation at which he could reasonably have aimed. His remarkable talents, as developed in the course of the trial, generated for him a sort of public sympathy, which in all civilized countries surrounds men of genius even in the perpetration of crimes. The abiding good sense of the American public, however will not permit that sentiment to be carried to the extent of forgetting that he has died thus tragically in a cause at which the minds of honest men should revolt.

We are free to confess, that we hope that all the means to that end at the command of the Government will now be directed to the unraveling of the whole history of the Gardiner fraud transactions, so far as persons of nominal high standing, who were connected with the original obtainment of the money from the Treasury, who have not yet been formally prosecuted, may have been directly or even indirectly involved in the affair. We are not among those who can believe that lawyers of great experience, and with intellects admitted (on account of what they had previously achieved in other cases) to be of the very first order, could have managed the Gardiner claim for years, without, to a greater or less extent, obtaining knowledge of its true character. The ends of public justice require, if there be laws which may authorize such an investigation that all such persons implicate in the original case be prosecuted to the end. Their turn comes next. The mere reclamation of the portion of the fraudulently obtained money, which has been enjoined in the hands of third parties, we approached, has not been the main object of the Government’s proceedings; though that follows the verdict rendered yesterday. The main purpose was to make an example of this flagrant transaction. The law’s hand has fallen hard, indeed, upon the nominal principal. Those who used him, however, yet go “unwhipt of justice.” Shall they escape much longer?

On the Gardiner award $428,750 was fraudulently abstracted from the Treasury; $238,000 of which has been enjoined—to be probably returned to the Treasury. The deceased Dr. George A. Gardiner, also drew from the Treasury $153,000 on the claim of Dr. H. Mears, $83,000 of which went directly to his own endowment. Mears, who is in Mexico, having been indicted, boldly admits that his claim was a shameless fraud, and unblushingly defies the Government of the United States; there being no extradition convention of treaty between the two governments, under which he can be demanded of Mexico for trial under indictment in this country.

The National Intelligencer, March 6, 1854 Funeral of Gardiner The funeral of the above whose tragic termination of life has been the topic of conversation since Saturday took place yesterday afternoon, and was attended by a large number of the friends of the deceased, male and

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/12/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

female, there being fifteen hacks filled with mourners which followed the hearse. The body was interred in a vault of the Congressional burial ground. There was a large number of spectators present on the arrival of the funeral cortege, some of whom, we are informed, behaved with a great deal of rudeness--surrounding the hearse and peeping impudently into the faces of the female mourners. Although possibly this was done with no ill feeling, but from a natural instinct of curiosity, yet considering the tragic circumstances attendant upon the event, some regard to the feelings of the friends of the deceased ought to have been evinced. Whatever may have been the guilt of the deceased the sad termination ought to throw a veil of oblivion over the past. "Requiescat in pace."

From the circumstance that the deceased was about to be married to a young lady of our city, with whom he was seen at church on Thursday last, attendant upon a religious ceremony that took place there, the gossips have spread abroad all sorts of idle rumors. One of them is that the young lady had likewise take poison, a report for which there was not the slightest foundation, although, as a matter of course, the shock caused by the sad event has been very great to her. This was to be expected, for Gardiner's friends were pretty confident of his non-conviction, and he himself, on the day above mentioned, appeared in high spirits.

We omitted mentioning that his brother, John Charles Gardiner, and lady were present at the funeral. It took place from a dwelling on F street where the deceased boarded; and whither the body had been conveyed, as mentioned in Saturday's "Star" after the post mortem examination.

The National Intelligencer, January 18, 1853 The Gardiner Claim Amongst the passengers who arrived at Charleston on Friday in the steamer Isabel from Havana, are Lieut. Hunter and Col. May, of the Commission which was sent to Mexico to ascertain the whereabouts of Dr. Gardiner's silver mine, for the alleged loss of which he recovered several hundred thousand dollars from the Mexican indemnity fund. The Charleston papers state that the alleged min has no existence, a fact which the Commission is ready to prove by witnesses who have accompanied them from Mexico. Dr. Gardiner stopped at Havana.

The National Intelligencer, July 8, 1852 Rearrest of Dr. Gardiner The efforts on the part of the United States District Attorney have brought to Washington (in connection with the recent charges against Dr. George A. Gardiner of obtaining money from the Government under the Mexican indemnity act of Congress) several citizens of Mexico, the accused, who was on bail to answer the charge of fraud, was, upon their affidavits, also arrested on Saturday upon a charge of forgery, and, upon being taken before Judge Crawford, in default of bail in the sum of $20,000 (in addition to the former bail of $40,000) was committed to jail.

Proctor's Washington and Environs, pp. 324-325 A case with a very dramatic ending was that of Dr. George A. Gardiner, a local dentist, accused in 1853 of forgery. At the close of the Mexican War, the story is related, and in accordance with the treaty of Guadaloupe Hildago, the United States assumed the payment of the claims of her citizens against Mexico, and a board of commissioners was appointed to examine and decide on such claims.

"Among others who appeared before them," according to the "Reminiscences" of the late Judge Walter S. Cox, "was a Dr. Gardiner, who claimed a large amount of damages for having been expelled from the ownership of a valuable silver mine in Mexico and broken up in his business. He actually obtained an aware of some $400,000 or $500,000, and received the money from the Treasury. It was afterward discovered that the whole thing was a fraud, and he was indicted and tried in the Criminal Court. Mr. Henry May, who was specially employed to assist the district attorney, then Mr. Fendall; Maj. Mordecai of the Engineer Corps, and perhaps one other, was sent to Mexico to investigate. They found that the mine was a myth, and there were forged title papers in the Mexican land office, artificially stained to give them the appearance of age, and other evidence of the fraud.

"All this evidence was presented to the jury. A Mexican judge was brought on to testify as a witness. In the course of the trial one of the most important documents disappeared from the trial table under the very eyes of counsel, and no one doubted that Dr. Gardiner had spirited it away, though it was not proved. The jury found him guilty. He was seen to put something into his mouth. He was carried at once over to the jail, and in less than 30 minutes was a dead man. He had swallowed poison--strychnine, it was supposed--as soon as the verdict was rendered. He was a bold swindler; when the indictment was found he came boldly over from Europe, where he then was, to stand his trial, and was so ingenious that his counsel, Messrs. Bradley & Carlisle, were completely deceived by him. A considerable part of the money he received was traced and recovered by equity proceedings."

Mr. L.A. Gobright, a celebrated newspaper correspondent who passed away several decades ago, in speaking of this case in the trained style of the newspaper writer, says: "The jurors having returned to the court room, their countenances were intently watched by every one, in order to ascertain, if possible, in advance of the formal announcement, the result of their conference.

"The jurors, having taken their seats, were asked, in the usual manner, whether they had agreed upon their verdict. An affirmative answer was given in such a tone of solemnity that its character was known to all in that dense assembly. The counsel for Gardiner asked that the jury be polled, when, in response to the question: 'Guilty, or not guilty?' every one of them answered, 'Guilty.'

"Dr. Gardiner stood during these interesting proceedings; his countenance became paler and paler as the answers were severally given. He cherished hopes of an acquittal, or that the jury would not be unanimous, until the twelfth juror had responded.

"That last answer seemed to shatter him completely. His face became deadly pale, with a blue tinge about his mouth, and this appearance strongly contrasted with that of his large, dark, and glaring eyes. He staggered to his seat, a pitiable object to all spectators. Some minutes having elapsed, and after putting into his mouth what was supposed to be a small piece of tobacco, he asked for a glass of water, which evidently afforded partial relief to his intense agony. Soon the order was given by the court to conduct him back to the jail. He had not been there more than half an hour before he was seized with spasms, which soon resulted in his death. He had taken strychnine in the court room, the effect having been deferred, owing to its being enclosed in a piece of paper, which he had swallowed with the drug."

Madison Davis, "A History of the City Post Office," Columbia Historical Society, Vol. 6 (May 12, 1902), pp. 143 - ??? On the 31st of March, 1845, Dr. Jones was a second time removed from the office of postmaster by a Democratic President, and Col. Charles K. Gardner, a very distinguished man -- one of the heroes of the War of 1812 -- was appointed to succeed him.

Charles K. Gardner was born in Morris County, New Jersey, in 1787, and in 1791 removed with his parents to Newburg on the Hudson, where he began and finished his education. He was a student of medicine with Dr. Hosack in New York in 1808, when he received the appointment of ensign in the old Sixth Regiment of Infantry of the regular army. In the following year, while on duty at Oswego, he was appointed adjutant of his regiment, and he served as such at various points. At Baton Rouge, Louisiana, General Wade Hampton appointed him his brigade inspector. In July, 1812, he was appointed captain of the Third Artillery, and in the following month General Armstrong, then in command at New York, made him his brigade inspector. In March 1813, he was in charge of the Adjutant-General’s Office at Washington as assistant, but was soon after promoted to be major of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, and ordered to the northern frontier at Sackett’s Harbor. He was in the battle of Chrysler’s Field. In the following spring he accompanied General Brown’s division first from French’s Mills to Sackett’s Harbor, and then to Buffalo, and in April received the appointment of Adjutant-General with the rank of colonel. For distinguished services on the Niagara frontier he was brevetted lieutenant-colonel, but being then colonel, he declined the honor. In May, 1816, he was recommissioned Adjutant-General of the Army of the North, and in 1818 he married and resigned. In 1822- 23 he edited the New York "Patriot," and was appointed corresponding clerk in the Post Office Department. In 1829 he became Assistant Postmaster-General, in 1836 Auditor for the Post Office Department, and still later Surveyor-General of Oregon. In 1845, as above stated, President Polk appointed him postmaster of Washington, the salary of the office still being, as it had been for many years, only $2,000 a year. Colonel Gardner was a distinguished author also, having written an admirable "Compend of Infantry Tactics" and a very comprehensive "Dictionary of the Army." He died in 1868, and is buried in the Congressional Cemetery

at Washington. He was an amiable and courteous gentleman, and was uniformly successful throughout life. No matter what happened, Colonel Gardner was on top, or near it. He illustrated the old Arab proverb, "Throw a lucky man into the Nile, and he will come up with a fish in his mouth."

In a postal sense, nothing occurred during the administration of Colonel Gardner that is worthy of special mention. He was an upright, straightforward man, and therefore kept himself free from censure by the Post- Office Department, as well as from the adverse criticism of the people. He was also a popular man, and did whatever was right to accommodate and please the public. The post-office remained in the rooms on Seventh Street, between E and F, though the postal business had increased to such an extent as to render them cramped and unsatisfactory. The gross revenue during the last year of Colonel Gardner's incumbency was $59,730.18. His salary remained through his term $2,000 a year, though his receipts from box rents no doubt carried it up to $3,000 or more. It was during Colonel Gardner's administration that postage stamps -- now indispensable -- first came into general use, although prepayment of postage was still optional.

In 1847 and 1849 we find the following named persons to have been in office:

J.E. Kendall, Asst. P.M. J.T.C. Clark Lambert Tree R.H. Brown James A. Kennedy F.J. Bartlett Richard Say J.W. Davis M. Brooke Jones J. McLean Gardner Thos. L. Noyes C.T. Gardner Cornelius Cox Wm. T. Jones Michael P. Callan Josiah Goodrich Samuel Crown John H. Tucker Josiah W. Hicks Patrick Sweeney J.B. Iardella Johnson Simonds

Colonel Gardner's residence was on Capitol Hill.

On the 28th of June, 1849, during the presidency of Zachary Taylor, Colonel Gardner was removed from the offfice of postmaster -- politics being the reason -- and William A. Bradley was appointed in his stead.

The Evening Star, December 10, 1897 Dose Was Fatal Charles Garner Dies From Effects of Laudanum Charles E. Garner, the young man who was taken to the Emergency Hospital yesterday afternoon, suffering from an apparent dose of laudanum, died about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Coroner Carr made an investigation of the case, and gave a certificate of death from opium poisoning. The certificate does not say that it was a self-administered dose with suicidal intent, so that the question of why it was taken has not been decided. Garner was only 21 years old, and, as stated in yesterday's Star, he lived with his mother and sisters at No. 414 I street northeast.

The statement that the young man had been drinking is denied, and friends who were intimately acquainted with him say he was not a drinking man. Speaking of the case today, a brother of the deceased said he could not believe the latter had committed suicide. There was absolutely no reason for such an act, and he was inclined to the belief that the affair might prove to be other than suicide. His brother, he said, had been but recently paid off, and he had considerable money in his pockets night before last. But yesterday, he said, no money was found on him. Not even his key, he said, was found.

When the coroner gave the death certificate the body was turned over to Undertaker Lee and prepared for burial. His funeral wll take place tomorrow afternoon.

And now she has gone from us away, O God, may it be given

Gary, Col. Thomas A. b. 3 Aug 1833 - d. 29 Apr 1908 74 yrs. R4/172 The Evening Star, April 30, 1908, p. 22 Plans For Funeral Remains of Col. Thomas A.

George Fiske Dudley, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, will officiate. Interment will be in Congressional cemetery with Masonic ceremonies.

Col. Gary died yesterday in Garfield Hospital, following an illness of about a week. He was a native of Virginia, and was seventy-four years of age. At the outbreak of the civil war he pledged himself to the Confederate cause. During the struggle between the north and south he was in charge of supplies for the army of the Confederacy, attaining the rank of colonel.

At the conclusion of the war Col. Gary established the firm of Gary & Oliphant, cotton brokers, at Galveston. The business was a success, the firm sometimes handling more than $3,000,000 a year. In 1876 Col. Gary was elected president of the Galveston Cotton Exchange. In 1894 he came to Washington. He retired from business in 1897.

Col. Gary was a descendant of the Dibrells and the Lees of Virginia. His wife, one son, Rodney, and three daughters, Mrs. E.A. Gathemann of Bethlehem, Pa., and Miss Wilmuth and Miss Neosho Gary, survive him.

The Evening Star, Friday, May 1, 1908 Col. Gary's Funeral Interment This Afternoon in Congressional Cemetery The funeral of Col. Thomas A.

The interment was in Congressional cemetery, the service at the grave being conducted by New Jerusalem Lodge, No. 9, F.A.A.M., of this city, acting for Harmony Lodge, No. 6, of Galveston, Tex., with which Col. Gary was affiliated.

Col. Gary was born in Fairfax county, Va., a few miles distant from this city, but, as heretofore stated in The Star, he was taken by his parents when he was a small child to Talledega county, Alabama where he spent his boyhood. From Alabama he moved to Planterville, Grimes county, Tex., and engaged in mercantile pursuits. At the outbreak of the civil war he entered the service of the confederacy and was appointed one of the supervising agents of the Confederate government, and was of much service in impressing supplies for the southern army.

Following the war Col. Gary entered the cotton brokerage business in Galveston, and was at one time president of the Galveston cotton exchange.

He was appointed postmaster at Galveston by President Cleveland and was continued in office by Gen. Harrison.

Col. Gary came to this city from Texas in 1894, and has since resided here. He has a host of friends in this city and throughout the country, and his death will be sincerely regretted.

Col. Gary was related to some of the most prominent families of the south, being a descendant of the Dibbrells and the Lees of Virginia. His wife, his son Rodney, and three daughters, Mrs. E.A. Gathemann of Pennsylvania and the Misses Wilmuth and Neosho, survive him.

A native of this city, he was of the third generation of his family living in Washington. During his active business days he worked in the old Center Market.

Gass, John E. d. 4 Nov 1879 R4/218 The Evening Star, November 6, 1879 Clubbed to Death at the Polls The Ex-Washingtonian Who Was Killed At Annapolis The Annapolis correspondent of the Baltimore Sun gives the following particulars of the killing of Mr. John E. Gass--formerly of this city--at the 3d precinct polls in Annapolis, Tuesday, between 4 and 5 o'clock:--A large crowd of colored men had congregated around the polling place and had several times during the day, it is said, acted disorderly and threatened a riot. Shortly after 4 o'clock the party of negroes engaged in a fisticuff among themselves. Near the scene was a young man named John E. Gass, who had only a few minutes before deposited his ballot, and was standing by looking on at the fracas. In the midst of the fight one of the colored men was seen to approach the others with a huge club in his hand, and, whether intentional or not, struck Gass over the head, felling him to the ground. By this time crowds of white men were at the scene. The colored men fled in all directions, and were pursued by citizens of the district, who succeeded in catching one of the number, who was ascertained afterward to be the wrong party and allowed to go free. Suspicion then fell upon a negro named Peter Simmons, and a search was made fo him, but without avail. Upon examination it was found that Gass was badly injured by the blow from the club, which measured eight feet in length. He was taken to the home of Clemm Weedon, in whose employ he was and had been for five years, and attended to, but death resulted from the wound about midnight. Simmons, who is said to have caused the homicide, was employed on the farm of Dr. S.D. Lynch, in the neighborhood of the polls. Strong suspicion rests upon him as the guilty party, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. Coroner Gassaway, of Annapolis, was notified of the occurrence, and will hold a jury of inquest over the body. The homicide has cast a deep gloom over the district, as the unfortunate man was well known there. Gass was 25 years of age, of rather delicate frame, and was regarded by the people of the District as a peaceable citizen and one not

likely to engage in a fracas of any kind. He was originally from Washington, D.C., where he has a brother and sister living. He has also a brother in St. Mary's county. When struck the fatal blow Gass was in conversation with three of his friends, Watkins, Richardson, John Weedon, and Thomas Williams, who pursued the retreating colored men in their flight. These parties state that one of the colored men called upon the others not to run, but to go for clubs. The whereabouts of Simmons is not known, and it is thought he has left the neighborhood.

Gates, George d. 23 Mar 1865 R83/132 The Evening Star, March 24, 1865 The Gale Yesterday -- Its Effects The effects of the gale yesterday, which we briefly noticed, it seems, was felt not only in this locality but over a large portion of the country. On the river it was particularly severe, and a large number of boats were driven ashore. By the blowing off of the roof of Col. Close's foundry, near the steamboat wharf, the colored hackman (named James Bush) was so badly injured that he died during the night. The Medora, which was lifted up and capsized near the 6th street wharf, was right, and those on board, some of whom it was thought were drowned, were rescued by the many efforts of the crew of another vessel near by. One of the pinnacles on the north tower of Trinity Church was blown down. The roof of a five story brick house near St. Aloysius' Church was blown off, and a portion of a new frame house belonging to Kelly Lambell, near Blagden's wharf, was blown down. One of the iron caps on the Wallach School House was lifted up, and fell on the skylight of the main saloon.

Among the contraband shanties in the northern section of the city sad havoc was made, the felt roofing being pulled off of about one-half. For some time the inmates of the new contraband hospital, Vermont avenue and M streets, were a little frightened, the motion of the building, which is a two story, being very perceptible, but notwithstanding that it was exposed to the full force of the tornado, it was not damaged. The gable end of a frame house on 16th street, near P, was blown out, and two brick houses near by had their roofs pulled off. The scaffolding around the Foundry Church was displaced and much of it blown down; several persons who were passing at the time narrowly escaping being struck by the flying timbers.

A number of trees were torn up in various sections of the city. One lady on Sixth street, on the Island, was caught by the gale while carrying eggs and coffee to a neighbor, and she was hurled across the street against the houses on the other side.

The first gale caught the hospital steamer Connecticut near the White House yesterday and keeled her over, but notwithstanding her length, with her tremendous power she managed to keep on her way. In this, vicinity a number of trees were seen to be uprooted and thrown into the river, some of them thirty or forty feet high. Some of the after work of the upper deck was lifted a few inches and it was thought at one time that most of it would be carried away. The second squall caught the Connecticut off Jones' Point, and here by the able management of Captain Shanahan, assisted by the surgeon in charge,, Dr. Hood, she was made to weather it. She, however, ran foul of the propeller Ajax and her steering apparatus was disabled, leaving her for a few minutes at the mercy of the waves. An attempt was made to anchor her, but the crew found it impossible to walk out on the forward deck, when several crawled out and her anchors were let go and the bow being kept to the wind she weathered it.

The Ajax was driven ashore on the flats opposite Alexandria. A number of boats were driven ashore and between the White House there are over twenty, some of them lying high and dry.

The damage at the Navy Yard was considerable and resulted in loss of life and injuries to various individuals. A part of the west end of the large ship house was blown out, and the tin roof considerable torn up. The tin

roof of the other ship house was damaged, and a shutter of one of the skylights torn off, which, in its descent, fell upon a young man named George Gates, employed in the painter's department, and so injured him that he died last night, notwithstanding the constant attention of Assistant Surgeon Hanson. William Clark, ship carpenter, was severely bruised by a falling shutter. The roof of the tank shop was damaged, some of the slate being torn off. The larger part of the fire wall--fourteen inches thick--on the south end of the naval store was blown down, and fell among a gang of laborers, fortunately without seriously injuring any one. The United States steamer Saco, awaiting repairs at the yard, was started from her moorings, but fortunately had an extra cable attached to a large buoy in the channel, which held her until Master Morris and Master Laborer White collected a gang of men and secured her to the yard wharf. The large lumber and wood piles on the west side of the yard were blown in all directions, and the water dashed up on all the wharves.

Sergeant Baker, of the 1st precinct police, reports the general hospital at Good Hope, near Fort Baker, was blown down, seriously injuring one man and bruising two or three others. This hospital is for the use of the forts east of the Anacostia bridge, and fortunately at the time contained few patients. A coach passing over the Eastern Branch bridge had the top torn from the body.

The gale caused much alarm at the canal wharves east of 14th street, scattering the lumber and causing an evacuations of the frail tenements in the vicinity. The felt roofs of the shanties in Murder Bay suffered considerably, fragments of the felt flying in the air like crows from cornfields.

The hospitals north of the city suffered some little, but none were prostrated. Some of the temporary quarters had their canvass roofs torn off, but no serious damage occurred that has yet been reported.

The storm extended to Fortress Monroe, and several vessels were driven ashore, while some were injured by being thumped against the wharf. The mail boat Webster was caught by the storm here and was obliged to go into a harbor where her passengers were taken off by a tug. After she was out in the bay the storm subsided and the weather was not rough.

The gale in Baltimore was equally severe. A large number of buildings were demolished, and several lives lost.

Gebicke, Louis d. 3 Sep 1896 R134/236 The Evening Star, September 11, 1896 Louis Gebicke Dead His Body Found in a Rocky Ravine Above Georgetown No Signs of Suicide Well-Known Member of the Marine Band Funeral Services In an advanced state of decomposition, the body of Louis Gebicke, trombone soloist, and until recently assistant leader and business manager of the band of the United States marine corps, was found late yesterday afternoon in a deep ravine in the vicinity of a hotel conducted by Mr. Charles O. Brill, on the Conduit road, about five miles from this city. Mr. Gebicke was missing since Thursday, September 3, and the remains were found by Mr. Brill. Absolutely no indication of suicide has appeared, while there is every reason to believe that death was due to exposure to the weather at a time when the physical condition of Mr. Gebicke was weak and susceptible.

The deceased left his home on the afternoon mentioned, and his family were ignorant of his whereabouts or condition until informed of the finding of the body last evening. The police were also unaware of the disappearance until a day or two ago. Mrs. Brill, the wife of the hotel keeper, read a newspaper report yesterday of the disappearance of the bandsman, and it proved of unusual interest, for the reason that Mr. Brill and Mr. Gebicke were good friends, and the latter frequently visited the hotel. Mrs. Brill informed her husband of the reported disappearance, and from the barkeeper it was learned that Gebicke was last seen at the hotel on the afternoon of the 3d instant. On that occasion it afterward occurred to Mr. Brill, he had lunched with Mr. Gebicke, and the visitor had eaten four raw reed birds. He had also been drinking to a considerable extent. On leaving the hotel Mr. Gebicke walked in the direction of the Potomac river, explaining that he was going for a swim. That was the last seen of him alive.

The Body Found After receiving this information, Mr. Brill yesterday started in the direction taken by Mr. Gebicke, fully expecting that he had been drowned. After proceeding about five hundred yards, Mr. Brill was horrified upon seeing the dead body of his friend resting on some rocks in a deep secluded ravine between the canal and the tracks of the electric railway. It was evident that the man had been dead fully a week for the body had been somewhat mutilated by insects and hogs.

Mr. Brill at once notified the sheriff and coroner of the county, and also Capt. F.H. Harrington of the marine corps. After an investigation, the sheriff decided that an inquest was unnecessary, making it of record that "Louis Gebicke died by the visitation of God in a natural way, and not otherwise." With the exception of three one dollar bills, nothing of value or importance or in explanation of the death of Mr. Gebicke was discovered.

At the direction of Capt. Harrington, Lieut. Shaw and Drum Major Martin visited the fatal spot, and the body was turned over to them by the coroner of Montgomery county. Capt. Harrington, with undertaker Boteler, later went after the body, and it was taken to the undertaker's establishment, on 8th street southeast, directly opposite the marine barracks. The weekly concert of the Marine Band was in progress at the barracks when the announcement of the finding of the body was made. The concert was immediately discontinued out of respect to the deceased. The news caused general sorrow at the barracks, where Mr. Gebicke was much liked.

The Bereaved Home Mrs. Gebicke was almost heart-broken when the sad tidings were borne to her. She had been in a high state of nervous excitement far eight days, owing to the unexplained absence of her husband, and the fact that he was dead proved a decidedly hard blow. Many friends visited the distressed widow last evening and today at her residence, 210 F street northeast, and endeavored to comfort her and her six young children, as far as possible. According to Mrs. Gebicke, her husband had been disconsolate for some time, and especially so since he was deposed as asssistant leader of the band. A week ago last Wednesday Mr. Gebicke returned to his home at the conclusion of the band concert at the Capitol,, and remarked to his wife, "My heart is broken." He would say nothing more. Mrs. Gebicke never for a moment entertained an idea that her husband had committed suicide.

Prof. Fanciulli, the leader of the Marine Band, expressed to a Star reporter deep regret at the death of Mr. Gebicke. In regard to deposing him from the assistant leadership of the band, Prof. Fanciulli explained that during the concert at the Capitol Wednesday before last Gebicke appeared to be under the influence of liquor. He made several mistakes and was reproved by the leader. After the concert Gebicke left and failed to report the next day and thereafter. Prof. Fanciulli declares that he was never unjust to Gebicke in any way.

The Dead Man The deceased was thirty-three years of age and was a powerfully built man. He was a native of Frankhausen, Germany, and had been in this country fourteen years. In Germany he was a member of Efhurt's miklitary band, and in America joined Gilmore's celebrated organization. At the request of Prof. Sousa he joined the Marine Band seven yars ago, but, becoming dissatisfied, he left and played with some local bands, finally securing an appointment on the police force. When Prof. Fanciulli took charge of the Marine Band Gebicke returned to the ranks, and by his skill and ability as a musician arose to the assistant leader. Shortly after, having trouble with the leader, he requested his discharge, but htis was refused. He was a member of the Police Relief Association, the Eastern Athletic Club and the Columbia Athletic Club. His jovial disposition winning him a large circle of acquaintances.

No marks of violence or indicatgions of suicide could be found on the body by the undertaker, who made a careful examination. Owing to the decomposed condition of the remains they were taken to Congressional cemetery by the undertaker this morning and placed in a grave. The latter will not be closed, however, until 4 o'clock this afternoon, when funeral servies are to be held.

Funeral Services Capt. Harrington has determined that the body shall be laid to rest with proper honors. The full Marine Band and the entire command quartered at the Marine barracks has been ordered to assemble at 3:30 o'clock. The marines are to parade with side arms only, and will proceed to the cemetery under command of a non- commissioned officer. At the grave the band will render appropriate selections and a firing party, of sixteen, commanded by a sergeant, will discharge the customary number of volleys over the grave. The chaplain of the corps being absent on leave, an effort was made this afternoon to have the pastor of the church of which Mrs. Gebicke is a member officiate. Should this plan for any reason not be carried out Capt. Harrington will detail a commissioned officer of the corps to read the burial service.

Capt. Harrington has been very active is seeing that the caring for the body and the funeral were properly carried out,k remaining awake the greater part of last night for that purpose. To a Star reporter Capt. Harrington characterized the theory that Gebicke committed suicide as being without foundation. It is the opinion of Capt. Harrington that while in a weak physical condition Gebicke was exposed to the severe rainstorm of a few days ago, which directly caused his demise.

Mrs. Gebicke and her six children are resideing with relatives at 210 F street northeast, and it is understood that the family is wihtout means other than such as is furnished by the relativeds. The members of the Marine Band today made up a generous purse which is to be turned over to the widow.

The Evening Star, September 12, 1896 Laid to Rest Funeral services over the remains of the late Louis Gebicke, assistant leader of the Marine Band, were held at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon at Congressional Cemetery. The services which were in accordance with the program announced in yesterday's Star were conducted by Rev. Mr. Hobbs of the 4th Street M.E. Church.

Gecks, August d. 8 Dec 1882 35 yrs. R4/243 The Evening Star, December 6, 1882 Killed by the Cars on 6th Street Wm. Messer Knocked Down by an Engine and Frightfully Mangled and Killed Last evening, about 7 o'clock, a fatal accident occurred on 6th street at the outlet of the yard of the B & P depot, by which Wm. Messer, living at 920 Maryland avenue southwest, was instantly killed. It appears that Messer was passing southward on 6th street where the yard engine was engaged in shifting cars, and having passed over the first track, on reaching the center of the second track, down which the yard-engine was backing some empty cars, he was seen by the brakeman (Mr. Frere) on the rear of the cars and an expressman, to stand perfectly still. He was called on to get out of the way, but seemed not to hear, and the bumper of the car striking him he was knocked down, and by the break rods and wheels he was horribly mangled. The cars were stopped as soon as possible and he was found under the wheels of the second car. The remains were placed in a furniture wagon and taken to the first precinct station house, from where Dr. Patterson, the coroner, was notified, and the Lee Brothers, undertakers, were directed to dress and coffin the body, by the railroad company.

The funeral will take place from the late residence of the deceased, No. 612 Maryland avenue southwest, tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.

The Evening Star, December 7, 1882 Suicide at a Hotel August Gecks Found Dead in His Bed With an Empty Vial at His Side Early this morning August Gecks, a guest at the National hotel, was found in his bed apparently in a lifeless condition, with a vial at his side supposed to contain poison. Dr. Walsh, on C street, was sent for and found life extinct. The coroner was notified and soon arrived, when he eprmitted the body to be removed to Buchly's, the undertaker, where an inquest was appointed at 1 o'clock. Gecks is a German, 35 years old, and arrived here on Thanksgiving day from Dakota Territory, where he had been for several years, and where he had the misfortune last winter of freezing his feet and hands from exposure, so that most of his fingers had to be amputed. It is thought that owing to his misfortunes and reverses his mind became impaired and caused him to commit the act.

Dr. Hartigan this afternoon held a post mortem on the body at Buchly's undertaking establishment. Dr. Hartigan stated to a Star reporter that he was of the opinion that no inquest would be necessary.

The Evening Star, December 8, 1882 The Suicide of August Gecks The Coroner's Inquest Today Coroner Patterson, assisted by Dr. J.F. Hartigan, this morning held an inquest on the body of August Geck, who committed suicide at the National hotel, as stated in yesterday's Star. A jury of six was summoned, to meet at 12 o'clock today at Buchley's undertaking establishment, 212 Pennsylvania avenue.

The first witness was Samuel McClintock, who testified that he resides at the Soldiers' Home. He had known the deceased since October 17th last, when he was brought from the city to the hospital, sick. Witness attended him from that date up to the time of his death. While at the Home deceased seemed to suffer both mentally and physically. Witness left the Home with deceased on Thanksgiving morning for the purpose of taking him to New York in a few days. Witness intended to start on Tuesday last, but deceased was taken sick, and continued unwell Tuesday night and the following day. The last witness saw of him was between 11 and 12 o'clock Wednesday night, when witness asked if he could do anything for him. Geck replied that he could not, and told witness to close the door.

Thomas K. Sheiler testified that he put the cyanide of potash up on Tuesday evening, on prescription signed Dr. A.G., and marked it "for external use."

Rudolph Ramsberg testified that he was acquainted with Mr. Geck; had never seen him drink anything himself, but it was always given him by an attendant. Witness heard of his attempt to commit suicide at the Home.

Mr. McClintock was recalled, and stated that he found the bottle which has been shown before the jury under the pillow. When witness went to bed at night, he told witness not to disturb him until late in the morning, as he wished to rest as long as possible; and it was 8 o'clock in the morning when witness entered his room.

Dr. J.F. Hartigan testified that he made an examination of the body of Geck at the National hotel. The examination internally showed congestion of the lungs and inflammation of the stomach. A lateral appearance would be such as might be expected from an overdose of cyanide of potash. There was also a

peculiar bright appearance of the tissues characteristic of this form of poison. His opinion was that death was the result of poisoning by cyanide of potash.

The Verdict The jury found that deceased came to his death during the night of December 6, 1882, at the National hotel, from an overdose of cyanide of potash, self-administered.

Gedney, Walter d. 14 Feb 1895 25 yrs. R96/148 The Evening Star, February 15, 1895 Suicide of Wm. Gedney Believed to Have Been Insane at the Time Mr. William Gedney, father of Walter Gedney, who committed suicide in Philadelphia yesterday afternoon as reported in The Star, left today to be present at the coroner's inquest and to claim the body. No information has been received by the family in this city as to the whereabouts of Mr. A.G. Gedney, who it was expected would be in Philadelphia on business yesterday. Neither has there been anything devinite done as yet in regards to the funeral here.

Walter Gedney left Washington about three weeks ago and entered the employ of the F.E. Manning Electro- Photographing Company at 35 South 6th street, Philadelphia. He was considered a capable artist and designer and a sober, industrious man. He worked as usual yesterday morning. About 1 o'clock a colored porter entered the art department and found Gedney standing in the middle of the room with a wild, savage look in his eyes. The porter inquired if there was anything wrong. Without answering Gedney took a revolver from a paper box and shot himself through the head, dying instantly.

In the pockets of the deceased was found $70. It is said that during the past week he had informed several of his fellow workermen that he was in love and wished to marry a certain girl, but volunteered no further information on the subject.

A number of Gedney's friends in this city firmly believe that he committed the rash act while temporarily insane, as he was subject to such spells.

The remains will be brought to the home of the father of the deceased, Mr. Joseph F. Gedney, 419 B street northeast, as soon as they are turned over to Mr. William Gedney by the coroner.

The Evening Star, February 14, 1895 Walter Gedney's Suicide It is Believed That He Was Insane at the Time Philadelphia, February 14 -- Walter Gedney, aged about twenty-five years, shot and killed himself at 6th and Chestnut streets at 1 o'clock this afternoon. From papers found on the suicide's person it is believed he is a brother of A.G. Gedney of 943 D street northwest, Washington, D.C.

A Star reporter who called at Mr. A.G. Gedney's late place of business, 943 D street northwest, was informed that Walter Gedney is Mr. Gedney's brother, as surmised in the foregoing dispatch. The deceased is a son of Mr. J.F. Gedney of the State Department, who resides at 419 B street northeast. Thomas H. Gedney and William E. Gedney, both employed in the bureau of engraving and printing, are brothers of the deceased, and he also has three sisters residing in this city.

Walter Gedney was born in Washington, and was employed in A.G. Gedney's engraving establishment up to about two years ago, when he went to Philadelphia. He remained in that city for some time, and then returned to Washington. After a lapse of several months, and without the knowledge of his family, he returned to the Quaker city, where he had been ever since. The deceased was employed as a draughtsman, and was unmarried.

"It may be stated without fear of contradiction," said Mr. D.W. Gregory, the successor to A.G. Gedney, to the reporter, "that Walter Gedney's mind was disordered. At times he would act very queerly, and I am positive that he killed himself this afternoon while temporarily insane."

The Evening Star, August 22, 1892 A Shocking Accident On Saturday afternoon a shocking accident occurred near the naval proving grounds at Indian Head down the Potomac, resulting in the death of Frank J. Gering, the little eight-year-old son of John J. Gering, a sailmaker, living on 4 1/2 between E and F streets southwest. A carriage or wagon was about to start from the house where the little fellow was on a visit and he caught behind to ride a short distance, when one of his legs caught in the wheel in such a manner as to break both the upper and lower bones of the leg, and before he could be extricated a portion of the limb was ground to a pulp. The little fellow was brought to the city by the steam launch of the station, and he was accompnaied by his father, who reported to Sergeant Smith, and in a short time he was conveyed to Providence Hospital. The sight of the injuries were such as to cause tears to flow from eyes unused to tears, but the little fellow heroically bore his intense sufferings with scarce a murmur. He had, however, lost so much blood that, notwithstanding the efforts of Dr. Hill and others at the hospital, death relieved his sufferings in a few hours.

Gerry, Vice Pres. Elbridge b. 16 Jul 1744 - d. 23 Nov 1814 70 yr. R29/9-10

See the on-line "Biographical Directory of the U.S. Congress"

The National Intelligencer, Thursday, November 24, 1814 This day we have a melancholy duty to perform. Another of the Worthies of the Revolution, the tried Patriot and consistent Politician, the second Officer of our Government, the venerable Gerry, is no more! Yesterday, between the hours of ten and eleven, he breathed his last.

His death was as sudden as it was unexpected. In apparent health he presided in the Senate during an arduous sitting on the preceding day; fifteen minutes before his death, although in his seventieth year, he bade fair to outlive many of those who read these lines. At a few minutes warning, the thread of life was cut, and his spirit winged its flight to happier realms.

The circumstances of the Death of our lamented fellow-citizen, Elbridge Gerry, were nearly these. He breakfasted at the common table at his boarding house, at the usual hour, in apparent health, with the exception of a transient complaint of slight oppression at his breast. A short time afterwards, he went out on business to one of the public offices, a few yards distant only from his lodgings, where after a few minutes, he found himself indisposed, and intimated a wish to return to his residence. Being placed again in the carriage, he was reconveyed to his lodgings. On the arrival of the carriage there, he was found to be insensible, and expired immediately after, almost without a groan or sigh.

The National Intelligencer, December 1, 1814 From the Baltimore Patriot Biographical Memoir of Elbridge Gerry Late Vice President of the United States Another of our Revolutionary worthies has ascended to join the band of deceased patriots, who have "become immortal in both worlds." An inflexible republican, a most active agent in emancipating our country from British thraldom, and a sage, who devoted a long life to pubilc service, has departed in the person of Elbridge Gerry. Private esteem, joined in public duty, induces us to place at this time, before our readers, a sketch of a great and useful, a good and estimable, character. For the materials, we are immediately indebted to an article under the same title, which originally appeared in the Boston Patriot of March 3d, 1810.

Elbridge Gerry was born in the town of Marblehead, (Mass.) in the year 1746. His father was a respectable merchant, with a handsome fortune. He entered Harvard College early and received his first degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1762.

On leaving the seminary, he commenced business as a merchant; and his correctness, assiduity and extensive information enabled him to prosecute commercial pursuits with success. His mind however was much occupied with the interesting politics of the then colony; and as soon as his age would permit, he was elected by his native town, to the General Court; and became an active and influential member. The business, in those days, was principally prepared in committees, and Mr. Gerry was associated with Adams, Hancock, Warren and others on most of the important ones. When hostilities commenced, he was a member of the committee of public safety and supplies, and gained both credit and public gratitude, by his talents and industry. An interesting anecdote is related of Mr. Gerry and some of his compatriots, which occurred the day preceding the battle of Lexington, which commenced the revolutionary contest. The committee had been sitting at Cambridge, and as Mr. Gerry, with Cols. Lee and Orne were far from home, they determined to remain until morning. In the middle of the night they were alarmed by the march of the main body of the British tropps for Concord. When the troops came opposite the house, a detachment was unexpectedly ordered to surround it, and seize any of the committee who might remain. Fortunately tho with difficulty, Mr. Gerry and his companions escaped in their shirts; and concealed themselves till the search was over.

Mr. Gerry was the intimate friend of the illustrious General Warren; the night before the eventful contest of Bunker Hill, the patriots passed together, in the same bed, and with a melancholy presentiment of his fate; the last words addressed by the hero the subject of our memoir, were "Dulee et decorum est "Prop patria mori--- "It is sweet and becoming to die for our country."

Mr. Gerry, about this time was appointed Judge of Admiralty, but declined accepting the office, declaring his wish to take a more active part in the service of his country. He was accordingly elected to the illustrious Congress, who guided our nation to Independence, signed the Declaration of it in 1776, and continued a member during the whole war. In the elegant language of the writer to whom we have alluded; "In Congress as in the State Legislature, the assiduity, attention, and extensive information of this gentleman, caused him to be placed on all important Committees and his advice and opinion was respected as the cool and deliberate decision of an undeviating patriot. No difficulty deterred him; no danger dismayed him. In the most trying moments, his courage and constance remained unshaken, and his determination never for a moment wavered, to protect the independence, and maintain the freedom of his country. In Congress Mr. Gerry was the soldier's friend. Gen. Washington depended on no one with more confidence for the promotion of his plans, than on this gentleman, and his confidence was never disappointed. His speech in favor of compensation to the army, was considered one of the most powerful and splendid specimens of eloquence and patriotism. On all subjects of finance, Mr. Gerry was able and eminent. His clear and penetrating mind could unravel the perplexity of a system confused and entangled, and his invention and ingenuity drew forth the resources and ability of his country. To his great merit in the Revolutionary Congress, Gen. Washington, President Adams and other distinguished patriots have borne unequivocal and honorable testimony.

In the convention which framed the Constitution, Mr. Gerry appeared as a member from Massachusetts. Although convinced that a more energetic system than the confederation was needed, yet the propositions of Gen. Hamilton, of a monarchical and aristocratical east, found in him a stern and strenuous opponent. Educated a republican, he would not bend to a single proposition, which tended to aristocracy. The result did not meet his wishes, and he was constrained to refuse his signature. It is remarkable, that some of the points for which he contended, have since been approved by the people and incorporated as amendments. Being chosen soon after as a member from Middlesex, he took occasion to remark in debate, that "the Federal Constitution having become the supreme law of the land, he conceived the salvation of the country depended on its being carried into effect." He continued in Congress for two successive terms, and then declined a re- election.

To end the sui generis controversy with France which comprised a war, in fact on both sides, without a declaration by either, President Adams appointed Mr. Gerry, in conjunction with Messrs. Pinkney and Marshal, to constitute a commission plenipotentiary to France in 1798. The acceptance of the office was a sacrifice of domestic comfort for a precarious chance of benefiting his country. We would, in a tribute to the patriot dead, tread lightly on such delicate ground as the motives of living statesmen. Suffice it to say, two of the ministers were supposed more willing to widen, than to close the breach. Mr. Adams, the ostensible idol of the then dominant party, shall be our witness of what was done by the illustrious object of our article. 'He [Mr. Gerry, says Mr. A.] was appointed and approved, and finally saved the peace of the nation, for he alone discovered and furnished the evidence, that X, Y and Z were employed by Talleyrand, and he alone bro't home the direct, formal and official assurances, upon which the subsequent commission proceeded, and peace was made.'

When the American spirit was roused, and all parties united to resent the insulting attack by the British man of war, Leopard, on the United States frigate Chesapeake, on the 22nd of June, off the Capes of Virginia, Mr. Gerry, participating in the justly excited state of public sensibility, attended at the State-House in Boston, was called to the Chair, and gave an evidence of his patriotism, and an epitome of his principles, in the memorable expression, that if a man had but one day to live, he should "devote that day to the service of his country."

With this exception so honorable to his character from the period of his return from France until 1810, he spent his time in philosophic retirement and agricultural pursuits, at his farm in Cambridge. In the spring of that year he was run as Governor by the Republicans of Massachusetts against Mr. Gore, and chosen by a handsome majority. Of his official conduct as Governor, it is difficult to speak, without wakening, perhaps that spirit of political asperity, which we hope may sleep forever. Suffice it to say, his speeches to the Legislature were wise, patriotic and elegant; that he was a strenuous advocate of the union of the states, and of a cheerful aid of, and cooperation of the national government, for public purposes; that the first year of his administration was marked by a most liberal and unprecedented political toleration; and that in the second year, the appointments of a proportionate number of his political friends to public offices, was grounded on vacancies created by enacted laws, which laws, we verily believe, abstractedly considered, would be granted to be expedient by men of all descriptions. But we leave a topic on which we should fear to profane the obsequies of the dead by raising the spirit of altercation. The party opposed to him in the state prevailed--His country recognized his merits and his services, and elevated him to the second station in her gift. He conducted himself in that station with dignity and devoted attention to his duties, and he has died at his post in the discharge of his functions.

Of the private life of this gentleman, it is enough to say, he was respected, esteemed and beloved by those who knew him best. The sacrifices he made to public service were very great; and although we know not the fact; so well as to venture its positive assertion, we apprehend his patriotism might have left him "Like rigid Cincinnatus, nobly poor." Our article has extended beyond our originally proposed limits. We will study brevity and conclude by saying, that while this patriot has descended to the grave "full of years and full of honors," he has left his example as a legacy to his country; and if it be followed, if public virtue, at this trying time, become the order of the day, the American name may become even more illustrious and the name of the Union soar "Above all Greek, above all Roman fame."

The National Intelligencer, July 26, 1823 Monument to Elbridge Gerry Congress, at their last session, passed an act directing the Superintendent of the Public Buildings to cause to be erected, in the burial ground of this city, a Monument, with a suitable inscription, over the Tomb of Elbridge Gerry, late Vice President of the United States; and appropriated $1,000 to defray the expense. This work is now completed, and we have been favored with the following description of it:

The Monument is chiefly in the antique style. The pedestal is pyramidal, after the manner of the Egyptian tombs; a style comprising both strength and beauty, and particularly appropriate to sepulchres. On each of the corners is a fillet, or strip of linen, tied at equal distances, forming a row of puffs, which lie in a scotia cut out of the angle. A rich and massy leaf covers each extremity of the fillet; and a second leaf falls off at the bottom, spreading itself over the angle of the base mouldings. The ornaments of the frieze under the cornice are made up of foliage, and were all modelled from nature. They differ on each side. The first is an assemblage of parsley leaves, the second of tulips and their leaves, the third the amaranthus, and the fourth the curled or yellow dock. Upon the parapet stand eight ballusters, enriched with foliage, supporting the soffit and blocks. The urn resembles in form the Grecian vases, which have always been admired for their boldness and elegance of outline; it is enriched with various kinds of leaves, among which the acanthus and white oak are most prominent. A towering and animated flame crowns the whole.

The Monument is of pure white marble, from Massachusetts--the native State of the distinguished patriot whose ashes it protects. It was designed and executed by Messrs. W. & J. Frazee, native artists, of New York.

The inscription is as follows (it was furnished by the friends of the deceased):

The Tomb of Elbridge Gerry, Vice President of the United States, who died suddenly, in this City, November 23d, 1814, on his way to the Capitol, as President of the Senate, aged 70. Thus fulfilling his own memorable injunction--"It is the duty of every citizen, though he may have but one day to live, to devote that day to the good of his country."

And on the reverse-- Erected by order of the Congress of the United States, 1823.

Washington Post, 1883 - John A. Joyce

A graduate of Harvard; compatriot of Adams, Hancock, Ames and Warren. Elbridge Gerry was a member of the Continental Congress, 1776-1781 and 1782-1785. He was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and an unrelenting foe of George III. He was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of the United States held in Philadelphia in 1789; refused to sign the instrument at that time, insisting it gave the President too much power, but subsequently gave it his support. He served four years in the U.S. Congress, was Governor of Massachusetts in 1810 and 1811, and was elected 5th Vice President of the United States on the ticket with James Madison in 1812. He died on his way to the Capitol, on November 13, 1814.

He was intensely patriotic and devoted to the service of his country, and at one time said: "It is the duty of every citizen, though he may have but one day to live, to devote that day to the service of his country."

Ely, Selden Marvin, "The District of Columbia In The American Revolution and Patriots of the Revolutionary Period Who Are Interred in the District or In Arlington," Columbia Historical Society, Vol 21, pp. 128-154 In the Congressional Cemetery lie the remains of Honorable Elbridge Gerry, who was gathered unto his fathers in Washington during his second year as Vice-President, on November 23, 1814. The military services of Gerry are noted by Heitman. It is proper also to record that he was born at Marblehead, Massachusetts, July 17, 1744, graduated at Harvard, and became a member of the Continental Congress of 1776. He was also a member of the First National Congress of 1789, and was one of the envoys sent to establish relations with France in 1797. He was elected governor of Massachusetts in 1810, and Vice- President of the United States in 1812. His grave is covered with a handsome monument which was erected by an act of Congress in 1823.

Dictionary of American Biography Elbridge Gerry, signer of the Declaration of Independence, was born in Marblehead, Mass., July 17, 1744; son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Greenleaf) Gerry. His father was a native of Newton-Abbot, England, and emigrated to American in 1730, settling at Marblehead, Mass., where he became a very prosperous merchant. Elbridge graduated at Harvard in 1762, and in his master’s oration in 1765 he opposed the stamp-act and other revenue measures adopted by the mother country, that had proved oppressive to the colonists. He engaged in commercial pursuits, amassed a fortune, and represented Marblehead in the general court almost continuously, 1773-1814. He was appointed in 1773 with Hancock and Orne on the committee of correspondence that proved so efficacious in informing the distant colonists of governmental acts of oppression to the people. He supported Samuel Adams and was a delegate to the provincial congress that met annually at Cambridge and Watertown; and was on a committee to collect ammunition and supplies for the militia. He drew the bill adopted in 1775 which established an admiralty court for the protection of privateers and the distribution of prize money, a movement that led to the establishment of a national navy. He was a delegate to the continental congress, 1776-80, and 1783-85. He was on the committee to provide supplies for the army and on the standing committee on the treasury. He was one of the first to advocate a Declaration of Independence, seconded the motion for its adoption, and signed the document. With Morris and Jones he was sent by congress in 1778 to visit General Washington at his headquarters on the Schuylkill to determine the cause for delay in prosecuting a vigorous campaign, and their report was made a pretext for questioning the military ability of the commander-in-chief. This was no doubt encouraged by the extensively circulated “Conway cabal,” and brought upon the New England delegates charges of complicity in a determined effort to supplant Washington by the promotion of General Gates. In 1779 when peace negotiations were opened, he insisted on the protection of the fishing rights of the colonies. As chairman of the treasury committee he investigated the accounts of Gen. Benedict Arnold in 1780, and thus gained the displeasure of that officer. He vacated his seat in congress in February, 1780, upon the ground that the sovereignty of Massachusetts had been violated by congress in refusing to order the ayes and nays on a

question of order presented by him. In this he was sustained by the Massachusetts legislature, which formally protested against the action of congress. The general court returned him as a delegate in 1783. In the meantime he had been elected to both houses of the state legislature, but declined the senatorial honor, giving his services in the representative chamber. He was a member of the committee to arrange a treaty of peace with Great Britain. He opposed the organization of the Society of the Cincinnati as unrepublican. In 1783 he was the chairman of two committees to examine sites for a Federal capitol. Upon the expiration of his term in congress in September 1785, he took his seat in the popular branch of the Massachusetts legislature. He was elected a delegate to the Federal constitutional convention in 1789, held in New York, and in that body directed his influence to prevent the incorporation of any monarchical features in the instrument, and when the constitution as adopted was presented, he joined Randolph and Mason in refusing assent to the instrument, upon the ground that it gave the President too much power. Upon his return to Massachusetts, he was refused an election to the state constitutional convention, but was invited to attend its sessions for the purpose of answering questions of fact in regard to the constitution, but when reminded of the limitations of his position, he withdrew. He was elected by the Republican party a representative in the 1st and 2d U.S. congresses, serving, 1789-93. President Adams appointed him with Marshall and Pinckney envoy to France to secure indemnity for French depredations on United States commerce. The conduct of Talleyrand toward the commissioners disgusted Marshall and Pinckney and they returned home. Gerry remained, hoping to prevent a war with France, but his efforts for peace were unsuccessful and the government recalled him. The Republicans of Massachusetts nominated him for governor, but in the election he was defeated by Caleb Strong by a small majority. He was elected, however, in 1810 and again in 1811. His dismissal of all the incumbents in the civil offices and appointment of Republicans, together with the redistricting the state in the interests of his party – the origin of the word “Gerrymander,” as applied to political actions – lost to him the control of the state government which with the next U.S. congress passed over to the Federalist party. In 1812 his party made him their nominee for Vice President, and he was elected on the ticket with James Madison for President. He presided over the deliberations of the senate during the first, second and part of the third session of the 13th congress, up to the time of his death. He married Ann, daughter of Charles Thompson, clerk of the Continental congress, and she with six daughters and three sons survived him. He was a fellow of the American academy of sciences and received the honorary degree of LL.D. from Harvard in 1810. He died in Washington, D.C., Nov. 23, 1814, and was buried in the Congressional Burial Ground where the government erected a monument to his memory.

Barthelmas, Della Gray, The Signers of the Declaration of Independence: A Biographical and Genealogical Reference, Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Co., 1997. Elbridge Gerry (1744-1814), Massachusetts Elbridge Gerry, merchant, statesman, governor of Massachusetts, vice president of the United States, was graduated from Harvard College in 1762, placing twenty-ninth in his class of fifty-two. He then entered his father's counting house and eventually became one of the wealthiest and most enterprising merchants in Marblehead, Massachusetts. The Gerrys owned their own vessels, in which they shipped dried codfish to Barbados and Spanish Ports, and returned with bills of exchange and goods.

Elbridge Gerry became a Master Mason in the Philanthropic Lodge, Marblehead, Massachusetts, in 1769. On December 1, 1771, a town meeting was held at Marblehead, brought about by the circular letter to the other colonies and the resolves of Samuel Adams' Boston Committee of Correspondence. Thomas Gerry, Sr., father of the signer, was moderator of the meeting. Elbridge and Thomas Gerry, Jr., were on the committee that crafted the fiery resolves which were adopted. All three of the Gerrys were members of the local Committee of Correspondence, appointed in the December 1 meeting. In May 1772, he was elected representative to the General Court where he met Samuel Adams and immediately fell completely under his influence.

Gerry was reelected to the General Court in May 1773 and immediately was placed on the standing Committee of Correspondence. He and the entire committee resigned in disgust in 1774, after a mob burned to the ground the smallpox isolation hospital which Gerry and other prominent men had built at their own expense. Public opinion protected the culprits from punishment as they had not understood that isolation would help prevent the spread of smallpox.

When the Boston Port Bill began to be enforced, Marblehead became a leading port of entry for patriotic donations. Elbridge Gerry and Colonel Azor Orne agreed to receive and forward these supplies to Boston.

In August 1774, he was elected to an Essex County convention; and in October, to the first Provincial Congress where he was appointed to the Executive Committee of Safety. He was reelected to both positions early in 1775. British spies had learned that the Americans had amassed ammunition which they wanted to confiscate. They also wanted to capture Adams and Hancock and those allied with them. On the night of April 18, 1775, Gerry and two American colonels were in bed at the Menotomy Tavern on the road which the British took to Lexington, when Paul Revere made his famous ride. A detachment of redcoats came to search

the house; all three gentlemen escaped in their night clothes and hid in a nearby corn field. On June 16, 1775, the night before the battle of Bunker Hill, he met with General Warren.

Gerry spent the rest of 1775 raising troops, procuring ammunition, and other supplies for the Provincial Army, and collecting materials for fortifications. His business and shipping activities made him a valuable man for these tasks, and he worked with energy, economy, and efficiency.

He refused an appointment as adminralty judge of the province, and continued his work in the supply department until January 25, 1776, when he left Boston with John Adams to go to Philadelphia as a Massachusetts delegate to the Second Continental Congress. Gerry took his seat in the Continental Congress on February 9, 1776, and on the seventeenth he was appointed one of five members of a standing committee for overseeing the Treasury Board.

After the long debates of June 10, 1776, the question of independence was postponed to July 1 to give the middle colonies an opportunity to have authority to vote in favor of independence. Gerry was present on July 2, 1776, for the vote, but left Philadelphia, worn out by his labors. Only July 11, he wrote to John and Samuel Adams, requesting that they sign the engrossed copy of the Declaration of Independence for him; however, he signed in his own right when he returned to congress on September 3, 1776.

In January 1776, Gerry was reelected to the Continental Congress and continued in that service until 1785. He signed the Articles of Confederation on November 15, 1777, and was again a member of the Congress in 1782. On March 1, 1783, he was a member of the Confederation Congress.

It should be noted that Gerry's actions in Congress, like those of Robert Treat Paine and others, supported all resolutions against theatrical entertainments, horse racing and other such diversions. He was in agreement with those who recommended days of fasting, humiliation, and prayer.

Gerry's last appearance in Congress was on November 2, 1785. Early in 1786, he took his seat in the Massachusetts House of Representatives to which he had been elected in the spring of 1785. He was appointed to the Federal Convention of 1787 which framed the Constitution of the United States. At the start, he advocated a strong central national government, but he was opposed to the Constitution which was adopted. He believed that both the executive and the legislative branches were granted powers that were ambiguous and dangerous and he refused to sign it. He published his anti-Federalist beliefs as Observations on the New Constitution, and on the Federal and State Conventions.

The Republican Party elected Gerry to the first United States Congress after the Constitution was adopted. He was reelected in 1791, but refused to stand for election in 1793 and retired to his family and farm at Cambridge, Massachusetts.

On June 20, 1797, President John Adams sent him, with Charles C. Pinckney and John Marshall, to try to improve some post-war relations. France demanded a cash payment from the United States, and tried to force the three Americans to pay a personal bribe. They refused, and the XYZ Mission failed. Pinckney and Marshall departed but Gerry remained because Prince Charles de Talleyrand convinced him that France would declare war if he left. He refused to negotiate without full powers, but President Adams published the XYZ Dispatches and recalled Gerry. He arrived at Boston on October 1, 1798. President Adams did not name Tallyrand's three agents (Bellamy, Hauteval, and Hottinguer) when he made a formal report to Congress, but simply called them X, Y, and Z.

Gerry was elected governor of Massachusetts in April 1810. During his second administration, his famous "Gerry-mander" bill was repealed January 16, 1812. The bill had redistricted Massachusetts to give the Republicans a number of state senators in excess of their voting strength. In an election of April 1812, ex- Governor Strong defeated Gerry by a majority of 1200 votes in a total of over 100,000. Two weeks after leaving the governorship, on June 8, 1812, the Republican Congressional Caucus nominated him for vice president on the ticket with James Madison. Vice President Gerry took the oath of office on March 4, 1813, at his Cambridge home.

In 1892, a small bust of Gerry was placed in the Senate Chamber of the United States Capitol.

Additional Information Elbridge Gerry was a small, dapper gentleman, possessed of pleasant manners, but never very popular because of his aristocratic traits. He had no sense of humor, frequently changed his mind on important issues, and was suspicious of the motives of others.

John Adams thought he showed an \"obstinacy that will risk great things to secure small ones.\" However, in his favor, he was a conscientious businessman, who paid attention to detail. His patriotism and integrity could never be doubted.

Dr. Benjamin Rush wrote that he was \"a genuine friend to republication forms of government.\" One of Gerry's own statements was \"I hold it to be the duty of every citizen, though he may have but one day to live, to devote that day to the good of his country.\"

In May 1787, he purchased his beautiful estate in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a property which had been confiscated from a loyalist. This home, later named Elmwood, was owned by James Russell Lowell. Mr. Gerry had been well-to-do in 1800, but had suffered losses and left debts which consumed all his estate except the Cambridge home.

On November 23, 1814, in Washington, D.C., he died in his carriage on his way to preside over the Senate. He was seized of a hemorrhage of the lungs and died within twenty minutes. Congress paid his burial expenses, but the House rejected a bill introduced by Senator Christopher Gore and passed by the Senate, for paying the vice president's salary to his widow for the remainder of his term.

Gerry's monument in the Congressional Cemetery at Washington, D.C., bears this inscription: The Tomb of ELBRIDGE GERRY Vice President of the United States who died suddenly in this city on his way to the Capitol, as President of the Senate November 23, 1814, Aged 70.

The Evening Star, November 4, 1933 Ex-Police Chief Harry L. Gessford Claimed by Death Former Police Superintendent Had Been in Ill Health Since 1921 Maj. Harry L. Gessford, former superintendent of police, died today at his home, 4713 Piney Branch road. He had been in ill health since his retirement from the superintendency late in 1921.

The former police chief's health broke down immediately after Armistice day, 1921, when he was in charge of all police arrangements for the huge demonstration which attended the burial of the Unknown Soldier.

In making preparations for this observance and for the assembling here of delegates to the Arms Conference the same year, Maj. Gessford worked 15 and 20 hours a day. During the two weeks preceding the burial of the Unknown Soldier he made more than 2,000 police details--a record for the department.

Native of Washington Maj. Gessford came to the department in January 1881, a month before reaching his majority. He was a native of Washington, and his father, Lieut. James W. Gessford, was a member of the department at the time.

He became a private of class No. 1 in 1892 and acting sergeant in 1899. In 1901 he was made a sergeant, the next day a lieutenant and the day following he became a captain. Five years later he was given the title of inspector and August 10, 1919, became assistant superintendent of police under Maj. R.W. Pullman. When Pullman died, August 19, 1920, he was chosen to fill the superintendency. He was succeeded by Maj. Sullivan, after amost 41 years in the department.

Police to Escort Body He was a member of Mount Pleasant Chapter, No. 13, R.A.M.; Mount Pleasant Lodge, No. 33, F.A.A.M., and had belonged to the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs and the Board of Trade.

Funeral services will be held Monday at his home, with burial in Congressional Cemetery. Maj. Brown will name a police escort to attend the rites.

Maj. Gessford is survived by three sons, five daughters and nine grandchildren. His wife died about eight years ago.

A general order went out from police headquarters immediately after news of Maj. Gessford's death reached high police officials to lower all flags on police precincts to half mast.

The Evening Star, November 6, 1933 Maj. Harry L. Gessford Will Be Buried Today Masonic Services Will Be Held at Congressional Cemetery For Former Police Head Funeral services were to be held at 2 p.m. today for Maj. Harry L. Gessford, former superintendent of police, who died Saturday at his home, 4713 Piney Branch road. Burial, with Masonic services, was to follow in Congressional Cemetery. Members of the Association of Oldest Inhabitants of the District of Columbia, of which he was a member, were requested to attend.

Maj. Gessford, who had been in ill health since his retirement in 1921, worked his way up from the ranks to become major and superintendent. He was in charge of all in connection with the celebration of Armistice day in 1921, when the body of the Unknown Soldier was buried here, and it is believed his breakdown in health was attributable to the long hours of work spent at these details. He was a native of Washington and served with the department for 41 years.

The Metropolitan Police Department, Washington, D.C., 1908, p. 24 Inspector, Metropolitan Police Inspector H.L. Gessford, another of the assistants of Captain Boardman, is a young man of distinguished ability as a detective and executive officer. He was first appointed on the Metropolitan Police force January 5, 1881, serving as station keeper. February 8, 1892, he was placed in Class I. July 1, 1899, he was made an acting sergeant and two years later, on July 1, 1901, he was promoted a sergeant. One day later he was promoted to be a lieutenant, and one day later, on July 3, he was made a captain. He served in the capacity of a captain for five years and was promoted to his present position when the Reorganization Act went into effect July 1, 1906.

Inspector Gessford's rapid promotion from an acting sergeant to his present responsible position is evidence of the worth of the man as an officer.

The Evening Star, November 25, 1921 Praise Maj. Gessford Citizens Call Him "Upright, Honest and Efficient Servant" Expression of regret at the retirement of Maj. Henry L. Gessford, superintendent of the District police department, "whom we believe to be an honest, upright and efficient public servant," was embodied in a resolution unanimously adopted at a meeting of the Benning, Oakland and Glendale Citizens' Association last night.

The association further went on record as favoring a local man to head the department, and copies of such action were voted sent to the proper authorities.

The Evening Star, March 7, 1902, p. 16 Answers Last Call James W. Gessford, Former Police Officer, Passes Away Was Appointed to the Metropolitan Force in 1861 Upon Recommendation of Mayor Berret James W. Gessford, who for many years was connected with the police department, died suddenly at his home in South Washington about 7 o'clock last night. Since his retirement from the police force he has been sick, from time to time, but yesterday he felt better than he had for several weeks, and expected he would be able to leave his house within a few days. His death came suddenly while he was sitting in his room. Undertaker J. William Lee prepared the body for burial and removed it to the home of a daughter of the deceased, at 494 Maryland avenue southwest, from where the funeral will take place Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The Rev. C.C. Meador will officiate, and the interment will be in Congressional cemetery.

Native of Baltimore The deceased was a native of Baltimore, where he was born the 22nd day of February , 1835. When fourteen years old he left the public schools and accepted a position to learn a trade with a carpenter and builder. Seven years later he came to this city and obtained employment with Mr. Charles B. Church in South Washington, where he remained for nine years. When the organization of the metropolitan police department was decided upon he believed such employment would suit him and he sought admission to the ranks. Mayor Berret signed his application for a position, and he received an appointment going on duty the 11th of November, 1861, as an original member of the force. In 18165 he received a promotion, and the next year he was made lieutenant. During the time he was lieutenant he served in several precincts. He also served as night inspector.

Lieut. Gessford was an efficient officer and was one of the most popular members of the force. His wife and nine children survive him. One of his sons, Capt. Harry L. Gessford, is closely associated with Maj. Sylvester at police headquarters.

His Colleagues Only two of the original members of the force are connected with the police organization. They are John F. Kelly and Charles R. Vernon. The former is detailed for duty at the District building and the latter is at headquarters. Both these officers have served the department in every capacity. They served as lieutenants and captains and at times acted as chief of police.

The Evening Star, December 27, 1924 Mrs. H.L. Gessford Burned to Death Wife of Former D.C. Police Head Dies After Clothes Catch Fire from Heater Tragedy culminated a happy Christmas reunion of 19 members of the family of Mr. And Mrs. Harry L. Gessford yesterday when Mrs. Gessford was burned fatally after her clothing took fire from a gas heater in the kitchen of her home at 3123 Thirteenth street.

Mrs. Gessford was in the kitchen preparing a late breakfast for Mr. Gessford, formerly major and superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Department here, when she passed before the gas heater. Attracted by her scream, Mr. Gessford rushed to her side, to find flames encircling her. Vainly attempting to beat out the fire with his hands, he was severely burned about the arms. Miss Catherine Gessford, a daughter, rushed with a blanket, in which she swathed her mother, but the burns were so sever by then that death ensued at 7:30 o’clock last night. Mrs. Gessford had remained at home for treatment by Dr. Millard F. Thompson, but efforts to allay the severity of the injuries from the flames proved ineffective.

Had Family Reunion The Christmas just passed was one of the happiest of the household, members of the family said. It was the first Christmas that Lieut. Richard S. Gessford, U.S.A., had been home for eight years. Relatives of Mrs.

Gessford, foreman of the blacksmith shop in the Navy Yard met with a fatal accident Saturday afternoon while returning to his home in Baltimore. Mr. Gessford, in company with a younger brother, left here on the 7 o'clock trian for Baltimore. He had once lived at Odenton, and when near that station he went into the baggage car to chat with the railroad men and get a good view of Odenton. When the train got on the bridge crossing the Patuxent river he put his head out of the baggage car door to look down at the water below. Suddenly he fell from the car and rolled off the bridge into the water. The train was stopped and his body was recovered. He had probably been killed instantly. On his head was a terrible wound which had been made by an iron bar that projected from the bridge. The body of the unfortunate man was taken to Odenton and a message sent to his father, Lieut. Gessford of the police force in this city. The body arrived here later in the afternoon and was taken to Lee's undertaking establishment, where it was prepared for burial. The deceased was 32 years old and leaves a wife and two children. The funeral will take place from his father's house, No. 631 H street southwest, tomorrow afternoon.

Son of Margaret and Jas. W. Gessford.

Williams, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, will officiate, and the interment will be at Congressional Cemetery.

Mrs. Gibbons had several fads that she indulged throughout the latter part of her life. One of these was to celebrate each recurring birthday anniversary at Saratoga, N.Y., in one of the principal hotels of that resort.

The occasions were always marked by a feast and entertainment, to which the other guests were invited. Another fad was her determination to always reside on Pennsylvania avenue, in the bustle and hurly-burly of capital life. For a great many years she had lived at hotels and other places on the great thoroughfare.

Mrs. Gibbons was born in the District, and always lived here. She was the widow of Charles Gibbons. Her death was due to old age. Her apartments were always lavishly furnished, and she had as a constant attendant a maid, and sometimes a trained nurse was employed. She walked half way around the hotel last Sunday, and then went to her bed, her death occurring the next day.

Mrs. Gibbs was up and about the house, however, and started a fire in the kitchen stove preparatory to getting breakfast ready for the small family, and it is believed the chimney became overheated, starting a fire.

Mrs. Gibbs discovered the blaze and aroused her husband and the child. It was about as much as the occupants of the house could do to escape with their lives. The flames spread so rapidly that they were unable to save any of the household goods. All they could do was to go to the house of a neighbor and watch the destruction of their home. About thirty minutes after the fire started there was but little left of the house and contents.

The police of he 9th precinct were notified of the fire and several of them went to Capitol Heights, but were unable to be of any assistance. It would have been useless to have called an engine company, there being no water service in that part of the county. In addition to the loss of their home and furniture, Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs said they lost a number of valuable heirlooms. Mr. Gibbs places his loss at about $2,000, the damage being covered by insurance.

Oh! weep not for her, nor yet mourn her as dead; Though already the spring flowers may bloom over her head, To mingle with angels surrounding the throne; To the bright realms of glory her spirit has flown.

Oh! weep not for her; though dim be that eye Which beamed with delight when fond parents were nigh, Again it shall sparkle with holier love, As it welcomes them home to the mansions above.

Then weep not for her, but remember the day When again you shall meet her is not far away, If believing on Jesus and trusting his word, They only are happy who die in the Lord.

Funeral will take place from her late residence, No. 411 14th street southwest, Sunday, at 2 p.m. Friends and relatives of the family are invited to attend. May she rest in peace.

Gibson, Frances G. d. 3 Jan 1891 45 yrs. R2/205 The Evening Star, January 5, 1891, p. 8 A Dose of "Rough On Rats" Suicide of Mrs. Frances J. Gibson-- Cause, Temporary Insanity Mrs. Frances G. Gibson, whose home was at No. 1014 South Capitol street, committed suicide Saturday afternoon by taking a dose of "rough on rats." She was forty-five years old and was the mother of two grown children. Her husband is a lamplighter. Saturday evening about 6 o'clock he returned home after finishing his work and found his wife lying on the floor. She was unconscious and one of her neighbors was making an effort to restore her to consciousness and raise her to her feet. In both efforts the neighbor was unsuccessful, for the poison had taken effect and as Mrs. Gibson weighed nearly 300 pounds she coulld not be lifted so easily.

When the husband tried to lift his wife the empty box that had contained the poison fell from the folds of her dress. She died within a few minutes after her husband reached her side. The cause of the suicide is supposed to be temporary insanity. Mrs. Gibson had made threats that she would take her life several times and on one occasion she made an unsuccesful attempt to do so by hanging. Coroner Patterson gave a certificate of death and the funeral of the unfortunate woman took place today.

For details of the funeral and procession see “Pomp & Circumstance at Congressional Cemetery.”

From http://www.quartermaster.lee.army.mil/ Colonel George Gibson 11th Quartermaster General April 1816-April 1818 From 1816-1818, Congress authorized two Quartermaster Generals, one for the each of the military Divisions that the United States was then divided. Colonel Gibson served as Quartermaster General of the Southern Division. This was the only time in the history of the Quartermaster Corps that such an arrangement has existed.

George Gibson was born at Westover Mills in the Sherman Valley of Pennsylvania on September 1, 1775. Gibson came from a family of soldiers. His father, Colonel George Gibson, Sr., had an excellent record in the Revolutionary War.

At the age of twenty, Gibson obtained employment in the counting house of Alexander McDonald, a prominent importer in Baltimore, who had been a close friend of his father. Apparently young Gibson displayed considerable ability, for soon after entering McDonald's service he was promoted to the position of supercargo on a vessel engaged in the East India trade.

When Congress authorized a large increase in the size of the Army in May 3, 1808, he enlisted as a Captain in the 5th Infantry Regiment. Winfield Scott, who years later became commander-in-chief of the Army, was commissioned the same day as a Captain of light artillery, and their association developed into a warm friendship which lasted more than half a century.

Gibson was promoted on November 9, 1811, to Major, and on August 15, 1813, to Lieutenant Colonel. A rank he retained through the two remaining years of the War of 1812. He was discharged on June 15, 1815, when the size of the Army was sharply reduced after the treaty of peace. Ten months later, on April 29, 1816, President Madison appointed him Quartermaster General to serve in the Southern Division under General Andrew Jackson. He was forty-one years old at that time.

About the time that he was appointed Quartermaster General, Gibson suffered serious injuries when a horse he was riding fell and rolled over on him, with the result that he was long delayed in taking over the post. He was confined to bed for many weeks and it was July 12 before he was well enough to assume office. On July 18 the War Department informed him that the Quartermaster's Department for the Southern Division was in a very bad state and that he should go to General Jackson's headquarters in Nashville immediately. New Orleans was one of the key supply points for the Southern Division, the others being Nashville, Charleston, and St. Louis. New Orleans, had been the scene of a major battle of the War of 1812. As a result there were many claims against the Government still pending. Gibson's activities at first were devoted to the settling of these claims and to the disposal of surplus property. The latter included not only supplies but also land purchased or leased for military purposes.

The major activity of Gibson's term as Quartermaster General came during his final four months in office when he was called upon to supply the campaign against the Seminole Indians in West Florida. Egged on by British and Spanish agents, the Indians had displayed increasingly hostile intentions against the United States, and General Jackson was ordered to the Florida frontier to take command. As had repeatedly happened before in other campaigns, the contractor failed to supply food to the troops, and Jackson directed Gibson to purchase and forward the needed provisions. He quickly procured the essential stocks of food loaded them onto vessels, and sailed across the Gulf to Apalachicola Bay, where the supplies were taken upstream by keel boats to General Jackson's forces.

General Jackson had high praise for Colonel Gibson's efforts. At the close of the campaign he wrote President Calhoun:

"I should do violence to my feelings if I did not particularly notice the exertions of my Qr. Master General Col. George Gibson, who under the most embarrassing of circumstances relieved the necessities of my army and to whose exertions was I indebted for the supplies received. His zeal and integrity on this campaign as well as in the uniform discharge of his duties since his connection with my staff merits the approbation and gratitude of his country."

When the Quartermaster Department was reorganized in 1818 with one Quartermaster General, Gibson's position ceased to exist. But he was appointed on April 18, 1818, to the newly created office of Commissary General of Subsistence on the recommendation of twenty-three members of Congress from Pennsylvania. It was an office that he occupied for forty-three years, during which time he introduced many reforms in the system of feeding the troops and greatly reduced the costs. His successful management of rations for the soldiers ended the unpopular and thoroughly condemned method, utilized from the days of the Revolutionary War, of provisioning the Army through contractors.

During the many years he served in Washington as the Commissary General of Subsistence, Gibson's efficiency as an administrator and his reputation as a shrewd counselor won for him the high esteem of his fellow officers, friends, and government officials. On April 29, 1826, he was awarded the brevet rank of Brigadier General for ten years of faithful service in one grade, and on May 30, 1848, was given the brevet rank of Major General for meritorious conduct, particularly in performing his duties in prosecuting the war with Mexico.

After General Jackson took over the office of President in 1829, the attachment between the former Quartermaster General and his old commander ripened into an intimate friendship. Gibson was a frequent visitor at the White House during the eight years that Old Hickory was President, who was never too busy to receive him.

Gibson's span of life covered the period from the beginning of the Revolution to the start of the Civil War. At the time of his death on September 30, 1861, in the 87th year of his life, he was the oldest officer in the Army, being several years older than his close friend, General Scott, who survived him. President Lincoln was one of the first to call at General Gibson's home and "spoke feelingly" of the veteran soldier. The President, members of his cabinet, Generals George B. McClellan and Winfield Scott, and many other

notables of the day attended the elaborate military funeral with which Gibson was honored. Burial was in the Congressional Cemetery in Washington, where a shaft was erected later in his memory.

Father of George C. Gibson: Gibson, George Soldier, born in Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 10, 1747; died in Fort Jefferson, Ohio, Dec. 14, 1791, received an academic education, entered a mercantile house in Philadelphia, and made several voyages as supercargo to the West Indies. When the Revolution began, he raised a company of one hundred men, and was appointed captain of a state regiment. His soldiers were distinguished for good conduct and bravery, and were known in the army as “Gibson’s Lambs.” In order to obtain a supply of gunpowder, he descended the Mississippi river with twenty-five picked men, and after a hazardous journey succeeded in accomplishing his mission. On his return he was appointed to the command of a Virginia regiment, joined Gen. Washington before the evacuation of New York, and was engaged in all the principal battles of the campaign of 1778. He retired to his farm in Cumberland county, Pa., after the war, and was county lieutenant until 1791, when he took command of a regiment in the St. Clair expedition against the Ohio Indians. At the battle of Miami, Nov. 4, 1791, he received a mortal wound.

His friends and acquaintances and those of his son, Jacob Gideon, Jr. are requested to attend his funeral this morning, Friday at 11 o'clock, from the residence of his son, on 7th street, between E and F streets.

Ely, Selden Marvin, "The District of Columbia In The American Revolution and Patriots of the Revolutionary Period Who Are Interred in the District or In Arlington," Columbia Historical Society, Vol 21, pp. 128-154 The remains of Jacob Gideon, a revolutionary soldier, lie in Congressional Cemetery. He is of special interest also because two of his descendants, Philip F. and John B. Larner, are members of the Columbia Historical Society and the S.A.R. Jacob Gideon was a trumpeter and private in the Pennsylvania Militia. His name also appears in the index of "Eckenrode's Virginia Archives." The inscription on his monument, a marble slab, reads: "In memory of Jacob Gideon, a soldier of the revolution, died March 3, 1841 aged eighty-seven years. "

The Evening Star, February 25, 1864 Death of an Esteemed Citizen The announcement of the death of the venerable Jacob Gideon will cause surprise as well as regret, throughout the community, as, though advanced in years, his general health through life has been remarkably good; and to many the first intimation of his illness will be the news of his demise. He was not regarded as in a dangerous condition until Sunday last, when it appeared that the powers of nature were giving way, and that he was closing in the final conflict, which he met with Christian fortitude and resignation.

Mr. Gideon has been a resident of Washington for sixty years, and during this long period constantly and efficiently identified himself with the interest, the growth, and the prosperity of the city. Having, by his capacity and industry acquired a large private fortune, he was in a condition to foster and promote all public charities, and to serve in many stations of public responsibility for the welfare of the community.

For the past thirty years Mr. Gideon has been an active and prominent member and official bearer in the Presbyterian Church, ever ready with open heart and hand to all good works. It was under his roof that the Fourth Presbyterian Church, on Ninth street, was organized, and he ever gave to the cause of Christianity a warm and undivided support. He died in connection with the First Presbyterian Church, where his children, were baptized, and to which he turned in his last days with many memories of the past.

Mr. Gideon was one of the early members of the Columbia Typographical Society; having joined it in January, 1815, the night of the adoption of its constitution and permanent organization.

His loss will be deeply felt in the many relations he sustained to the community, as well as in the circle of his family now prostrate by this heavy stroke.

Kelly, Rev. Joseph Thomas, "Rev. John C. Smith, D.D., and Other Pioneer Presbyterian Ministers of Washington, Columbia Historical Society, Vol. 24, p. 123-124 This brings us to the Fourth Church, so named because of the much-to-be-deplored method of numerically naming our churches. It was the fourth organized in the City of Washington, the corporation of Georgetown being a separate municipality He was organized by a little company of 23 people from the Second Church, which had just lost its pastor, Dr. Daniel Baker, and had failed to call Dr. Danforth, whom some desired. The meeting for organization was held in the home of Jacob Gideon and his wife Mary, on 7th Street. They were the outstanding figures, not only of that early time, but for many years afterwards. He and Anthony Preston, another of the men of that early time were not members of the church when it was organized, but from the beginning they were strong friends of the church, both financially and by the influence of their personal standing in the community. Mr. Gideon was the first treasurer of the board of trustees.

p. 129 -- Jacob Gideon and Anthony Preston, neither of them at the time of the organization of the church, members of it, but both of them soon in its membership, and then elected to the Eldership and serving the church with singular fidelity and loving zeal. They gave each $1,000 for the new building, and Jacob Gideon gave the beautifully embossed and engraved communion service, which the church still holds as one of its chief treasures.

Gideon, Mrs. Mary d. 8/6/1853 61 yrs. R43/139 Gideon. At noon on Friday the 5th instant in the 62d year of her age, Mrs. Mary Gideon, wife of Jacob Gideon. Her funeral will take place this (Saturday) afternoon at 5 o'clock from her late residence on 7th street opposite the Post Office. The friends of the family are invited to attend without further notice.

The National Intelligencer Death of Mrs. Gideon From the Philadelphia Observer (Letter to one of the Editors) Washington, Monday, August 8, 1853 When I saw the announcement a few days since that our beloved brother Gilbert was no more, my heart was deeply stricken, and in spirit I cried out, "Help, Lord, for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fall from among the children of men." Truly, a standard bearer has fallen, and we his brethren are most solemnly admonished.

I then had no thought that I should be called so soon to mourn the loss of another even more tenderly beloved, though at that time Mrs. Mary Gideon, wife of our Elder, Jacob Gideon, Esq., was lying seriously and as many thought, dangerously ill. I could not think so, nor was my confidence shaken until last Thursday evening when a change occurred that roused my most painful apprehensions. She died at noon on Friday.

She was identified with the Fourth Church, was one of the little band that organized it in 1828, and always had a large place in the confidence and affections of all up to the hour of her departure. We have sustained a loss indeed! The mourners go about the streets.

Our deceased sister was no common woman. She possessed those qualities of mind and heart that pre-eminently fitted her for the first place among "the women that labored with me in the gospel." Her loss will be deeply felt in our church, widely in our city, and in the regions beyond. Those young men, candidates for the ministry in Illinois and Iowa, will read this notice with tearful eye, and that pastor in Illinois, and that pastor in Wisconsin, and that pastor in Missouri will be in sorrow that she who loved them and labored for them is no more.

"Even so Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight."

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Messrs. J.N. Danforth, Mason Noble, Byron Sunderland, and myself. Brothers Danforth and Noble were my predecessors in this pastorate. The cases are rare in which all the pastors of a church are together sympathizing in a common bereavement; as each in her life-time enjoyed her respect, confidence, and affection. Her last words spoken to me were, "My precious pastor," Blessed, thrice blessed woman! thy name will be ever as an ointment poured forth!

A large concourse of mourning friends gathered around her coffin. Of these, I must make particular mention of one, the President of these United States (Pierce). His pew is immediately in front of Mr. Gideon's. When a Senator, he always sat with Mr. and Mrs. Gideon. Thus he came to know, and to know was to love her.

The President was in the Navy Yard on Saturday, and when the booming of the cannon had ceased was about to embark on a short excursion in a United States steamer. At this moment he was incidentally informed of the death. He expressed regret that he had not heard of it before and said he would have postponed the excursion, but now it was too late. He, however, communicated his wishes for an early return. He was gratified and came at the appointed hour as one of the congregation, without invitation, other than that which all received. His heart, in common with us all, was penetrated by the afflictive dispensations. He wept with those that wept. Comment is out of place.

The Evening Star, March 16, 1854 Congressional Cemetery A splendid marble monument has been lately erected in the Congressional burial ground to the memory of Mrs. Gideon, the lamented consort of Jacob Gideon, Esq. It is a very beautiful specimen of workmanship, and is from the establishment of Mr. Gaddes, of Baltimore. The railing that enclosed it, which is very elegant and handsome, was furnished by Mr. Ralph Haskins of our city.

Kelly, Rev. Joseph Thomas, "Rev. John C. Smith, D.D., and Other Pioneer Presbyterian Ministers of Washington, Columbia Historical Society, Vol. 24, p. 129-130 Among the women were many helpers, prominent among them Mrs. Mary Gideon, fruitful in every good work, and Mrs. Shepherd, mother of Governor Shepherd, whose gracious life is one of the fragrant memories of my childhood and early ministry. There was no public school system in the District prior to the year 1849, and therefore it came into the mind and heart of Mrs. Jacob Gideon to supply the deficiency. In 1836 she instituted the female free school and this had its home in one of the lower rooms of the Fourth Church, and taught by the Misses Wannall of that church. By the interested and persistent work of Mrs. Gideon this school was maintained for thirteen years, but in 1849 the system of public schools having been introduced into the city, and there being no further use for this effort, it was discontinued. In this school a good primary education was given free, and many young girls had here the training which fitted them to take their happy and responsible places in life. The money for carrying on the school was received from voluntary gifts, and there were often opportune supplies from Mrs. Gideon and her friends to meet any deficiency.

Gill, Emma d. 4 Nov 1898 R92/305 The Evening Star, November 4, 1898, p. 12 Injuries Result Fatally Death of Mrs. Gill at the Emergency Hospital Mrs. Emma Gill of Norbeck, Montgomery county, Md., who was taken to the Emergency Hospital yesterday, suffering from injuries received in an accident at 9th and P streets, died a few minutes before 2 o'clock this afternoon.

While walking across the former street at the intersection named Mrs. Gill was thrown violently to the concrete by two bicycles, ridden by Roger O'Hanlon and John Sperry, which came together in a collision. O'Hanlon had been going west on P street, while Sperry was wheeling northward on 9th street.

The bicyclists were arrested and held to await Mrs. Gill's injuries, then believed to consist of a fracture of the skull at the base of brain, and necessarily fatal.

Mrs. Gill was visiting her brother, Mr. William H. Nast of 1537 Mmarikon street. Her husband, who is the proprietor of a store at Norbeck, was notified and reached Washington today.

O'Hanlon, who lives at 3326 M street, Georgetown, was released last night on $2,500 bail. He is about thirty years old. Sperry, who is a lad of fifteen years, residing with his parents at No. 1463 Kenesaw avenue, was detained last night at the first precinct station in the witness room. Neither bicyclist could tell how Mrs. Gill came to be struck.

Sperry's friends gave bond for him this afternoon in the sum of $500, and he was also released upon the presentation of the facts in the case to the prosecuting attorney.

The death of Mrs. Gill was reported to the coroner, and it is likely that an inquest wll be held tomorrow. It is probable that the wheelmen will be taken in custody again and detained until the inquest is held.

Mrs. Gill did not regain consciousness. Her father, husband and children, besides other relatives, were at the hospital when the end came.

The Evening Star, November 5, 1898, p. 11 Death Caused By Accident Verdict of Coroner's Jury in the Case of Mrs. Emma Gill Testimony Taken Today Detailing Result of Autopsy and Circumstances Attending the Casualty

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/12/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

A coroner's jury called to inquire into the death of Mrs. Emma Gill, who was fatally injured Thursday afternoon in a bicycle collision between John Sperry, a young white boy, and Roger O'Hanlon, a man about thirty-two years of age, at the corner of 9th and P streets, returned a verdict at 1 o'clock this afternoon holding the young men blameless and finding that the deceased came to her death as a result of an unavoidable accident.

The jury, composed of John F. Kelly, George O. Miller, Alfred S. Wilson, Joseph M. Burlew and George Holmes, was impaneled at the sixth precinct station, on New Jersey avenue, this morning shortly after 11 o'clock.

Deputy Coroner Glazebrook testified to having performed an autopsy on Mrs. Gill's body at the Emergency Hospital, where she died yesterday afternoon. Her skull was cracked across the base, the fracture extending from two inches above the right ear downward, being six inches in length. Death was due to the resultant hemorrhage. There were no other bruises on her body, with the exception of a blue spot on the hip, which was too old in appearance to have been caused in Thursday's accident.

John A. Bowers of 13th and Florida avenue, a motorman of the Metropolitan Railroad Company, testified to having seen Mrs. Gill leave the west side of 9th street and start across the thoroughfare. A young boy came riding down 9th street in a northerly direction, adn as he reached P street he swerved onto the Metropolitan tracks to avoid the rough paving in the P street car tracks. As he did so he struck the lady and knocked her down. Bowers could not identify the wheelman who knocked Mrs. Gill down, but thought it was young Sperry. The older wheelman came up later, the witness thought, and he saw no collision. The young man was riding at a moderate rate of speed and was on the right side of the street until he reach P street, when he circled to the southbound car track, the left side of the street.

William Taylor, colored, of 517 3d street southwest, said young Sperry and O'Hanlon collided at P street, the former riding down the right side of 9th street and the latter riding westward on the left side of P street. As the boy Sperry was knocked off his wheel he struck Mrs. Gill and knocked her down. The accident would never have happened, he declared, but for the bicycle collision. Taylor contradicted the former witnesses, and said Mrs. Gill walked from the east to west side of the street.

Witnessed the Collision Maurice Fitzgerald saw the wheelmen come together, but could not say which man struck the woman. The wheelmen picked her up and carried her into the drug store on the corner. Mrs. Gill's head must have struck one of the cobblestones of the P street car track.

Howard Bayly, a school boy of 1333 11th street northwest, declared young Sperry tried to avoid a collision with O'Hanlon by swerving on to the Metropolitan tracks. The riders collided in the center of 9th and P streets, both striking Mrs. Gill. Witness did not notice whether the wheelmen rang any bells or not.

Howard Maher of 1435 9th street northwest, corner of P street, said O'Hanlon passed down P street toward 9th street, riding on the left side of the street. He next heard a scream and saw Mrs. Gill lying on the car tracks at the corner, and the two wheelmen standing near by. There were a number of school children near the scene, but all were on the sidewalk and not in the way of bicyclists.

Richard Gilleland of 1508 9th street said Mrs. Gill was standing on the car track with her back to the wheelmen when struck. The riders were not moving fast. Neither man seemed to be hurt as a result of the collision.

Ellen Proctor, a little colored girl, of 1121 1st street northwest, saw the bicycle riders try to avoid colliding. Both wheelmen and the lady fell at the same time.

Defendants Testify Roger O'Hanlon of 1519 7th street, one of the defendants, said he was riding down P street, picking his way through a crowd of children. In doing so he turned on to the left side of the car track. He saw young Sperry too late to avoid collision. He did not see Mrs. Gill until he got up. He couldn't say how the wheels came together, but from bruises on his left side he judged the boy struck him. He was riding slowly and did not ring the bell.

John Sperry of 1463 Kenesaw avenue, the second defendant, said he did not see the lady until later he collided with O'Hanlon.

Neither wheel was hurt in the accident.

Gillis, late and form many years Chief Clerk in the 4th Auditor's Office. His funeral will take place from the Church of the Ascension on Sunday next at 2 p.m.

The National Intelligencer, January 22, 1851 Obituary In the death of the late venerable Thomas H. Gillis, Esq., this city has lost one of its oldest and most respected citizens, and the Church of which he was a member one of its earliest, most active, and efficient friends. He was followed to the grave by the hearts of an entire community who were the witnesses of the daily beauty of his life.

Mr. Gilliss was born in Somerset county, Maryland, in December, 1768. In 1798 he received the appointment of Chief Clerk to the Navy Accountant, as he was then called, now the Fourth Auditor of the Treasury. He removed to Washington with the Government in 1800, and continued in the same office until June of last year, when the infirmities of his great age compelled him to resign.

On a visit to his native county last summer he met with the accident--the fracture of his leg--which occasioned the protracted illness which caused his death. The remainder of his life was patience, and the end of it was peace.

The prominent traits of the character of this venerable man were recognized at once by all who approached him. He was a man of a naturally equable, systematic, affectionate, and gentle character. From an early period a devoted and active member of the Protestant Episcopal Church, his whole nature was manifestly brought under the new creating power of the grace of God, and his heart, then "baptized in the pure fountain of eternal love," exhibited through his long life singularly winning and beautiful characteristics. Old age was, in his case, not only venerable, but lovely. It was the fragrant and beautiful blossom of youth, not withered but matured into mellowed fruit, no less fragrant and beautiful. He was devoted to the interests of religion, in the church of his choice, and occupied in succession an official and influential position in every Episcopal Church in this city, to whose extension in new positions he was always ready to give his means, and energy, and influence. In his family, and in the intercourse with the world, he was ever the Christian gentleman. Strong and peaceful in his confidence in God's overruling providence in all the circumstances of his life; enjoying with great relish the privileges of the house of God; going out and coming in among his fellow citizens and neighbors with a blameless life and a uniform and exemplary discharge of all his duties as a Christian, a citizen, and a man. Sinking to his rest in peaceful resignation and simple faith, in the midst of his children, and relatives, and friends, we cannot but feel that our dear and venerable friend has accomplished the true end of human probation; and as we meditate upon the even tenor of his honored and useful life, the resignation and tranquillity of his death, and the career of glory, honor, and immortality upon which he now has entered, we realize how much better it is to be righteous than to be great, and exclaim, as we leave his body to its peaceful sleep, "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!" C.M.B.

-- One of a committee of 14 from Christ Church to raise funds for founding of St. John’s on Lafayette Square. Thereafter a leading member of St. John’s.

The National Intelligencer, July 18, 1851 Obituary The mournful sympathies of many friends make it fit that some slight public tribute be given to the memory of Helen Parris Gilman, wife of Z. Douglas Gilman, and daughter of Governor Parris formerly of Maine.

Removing in her youth with her parents to this city, she has through years so performed her domestic, social, and religious duties that the affections of many gathered around her, and many a heart was smitten with deep sorrow to hear of her unexpected death.

Combining much personal dignity of character with the utmost simplicity and modesty of manners and feeling; warm-hearted and true-hearted, pleasing in deportment and appearance, the better she was known the

more was she loved. In the bright hours of life the faith of a Christian kept her soul familiar with a far brighter world, and in the hour of affliction she bowed with submission and fortitude to the will of her God.

When the arrow of death struck her it pierced a heart which had placed all its trust in a crucified Redeemer; sanctified by his grace, her life was consistent with her religious profession. When called from earth we doubt not that she entered a world of glory, where three infant children were waiting for her before the throne of their and their mother's Savior.

Gittings Circumstances Induced Belief That He Committed Suicide A dispatch received here from New York last night announced the sudden death in that city of J.H. Gittings, fifty years old, who formerly lived here. It was stated that letters left by Gittings gave the impression that he had committed suicide, although the doctors who were called found no evidence that the unfortunate man had taken his life.

On a table in the room where his body was found was a letter addressed to his sister, Mrs. Matt Walker, whose home is at 60 M street northwest in this city. Another letter was addressed to C.P. Marshall, Newton, Mass. The cause of death will be determined by the coroner when an autopsy is held.

A mother bends above her child And whispers loud, in anguish wild, " God!" she cries, "couldn't Thou spare This treasure to a mother's care?"

Glascoe, Mary C. d. 14 Oct 1877 R7/108 The Evening Star, October 26, 1877 A Mother Drowns Her Baby In the Police Court, this morning, Mary Glascoe and Amy Glascoe were arraigned on the charge of murdering the infant child of Mary Glascoe. Both pleaded not guilty. Fanny Parker testified that she was at the house of the defendants on Sunday night, the 14th instant. While there her beau came to see her, and she left Mary's room and went down with him. About 10 o'clock she went up there again, and found May sick in the room, and heard a child cry. The door was fastened and no light in the room. She tried to get in to render any help necessary to Mary, but the latter would not permit her. At last she got the door open and offered to go for a doctor and her aunt, but Mary would not permit her to do so, as she didn't want anyone to know what was going on, and if her aunt knew it, she would tell everybody. Witness struck up a light and saw the child in a bucket of water crying. Mary's mother came in and wanted witness to go and lay down, and she wouldn't do it. She asked Mary and her mother what they meant to do, and they said never mind. She asked Mary if she intended to kill her own flesh and blood; she said she didn't care; she didn't want it. I saw Amy take a thick cape, when the child was crying in the bucket of water, and press it down over the child, and then she never heard it cry any more. Afterwards Mary's brother came and took the child away, and she heard no more of it. The witness was carefully cross-examined, but she did not weaken at all in her testimony. It was further developed that witness took the lamp and looked into the bucket befoe the child was smothered, and saw that it was a female full-grown child. Several other witnesses were heard, both for the government and for defendants, after which the court sent the case to the grand jury; no bonds.

The Evening Star, January 11, 1878 A Mother and Daughter on Trial for Murder Amy Glascoe and Mary Glascoe, charged with murder, in having on the 14th of October last caused the death of the female child of the last-named were placed on trial—District Attorney Wells prosecuting, and H.H. Willard and A.B. Webb for the defendant. The defendants are a colored mother and daughter, the former being about 40 years of age, and the latter about half as old; the former is rather stout and the latter slim and sickly looking.

The following were selected as jurors: Delozier Davidson, Richard Fullalove, P.L. Brooke, John Riley, G.W. Sanford, Jesse Mann, E.H. Bates, James Reed*, John Goss, Owen O’Hare, F.F. Mix and W.H. Corkill.

Dennis Callahan, C.H. Bruce*, J.H. Russell, Robert Armstead*, were challenged by defendant, Henry Otterback and David Clark* were excused, having formed opinions. (Those marked* are colored.)

Mr. Wells in opening said that they expected to prove that on the 14th of October last the younger prisoner gave birth to a child and cast it into a pail, and when the child cried its grandmother, the older prisoner, covered it with a cloth and forced it to the bottom of the pail, where she held it until it was dead.

Mr. Willard, for the defense, said that they expected to prove that the accused were not guilty. The old woman had been the mother of eleven children, and all except two have died of consumption. They would show that they were honest people, and the younger one while out in service was taken sick and was obliged to come home and call in Dr. Herron on the 3d of October, and that she was not then with child. Subsequently she called Dr. Foreman, who treated her for a lung disease, and he would corroborate Dr. Herron. In the same course there were other families (two besides the prisoners), and among the lodgers was Fanny Parker, who did Mary’s work in the day and returned at night. The morning after Mary, it is said, gave birth to the child she went to the G street market and lugged home a full basket and a watermelon, and they expected to show that the girl did not have a child and that this story was started by a woman named Mary Hinson and member of the Society of Chaldeans, who appointed a committee to investigate, but they refused to ask questions of the physician, but waited until he left and then questioned them. They next sent another committee and the girl refused to be examined by them.

The Evening Star, January 12, 1878 The Trial of the Glasco Infanticide Case Yesterday in the Criminal Court, Judge MacArthur, the trial of Amy and Mary Glasco for the murder of the child of the last named, on the 14th of October last, was continued. Louisa Hanson, Ann Williams, Lucy Mason, Virginia Belle Porter, and Officer M.K. Slater testified for the prosecution, giving the details of the commission of the crime. For the defense, Mary Tyler, Mary Warren, Henry Warren, and Mary Jones gave testimony going to show that the accused could not have been the mother of the child, and therefore did not commit the crime. The jurors were cautioned and dismissed until Monday, when the trial will be resumed.

The Evening Star, January 14, 1878 The Glasco Infanticide Case This morning, in the Criminal Court, Judge MacArthur, the case of Amy and Mary Glasco, charged with having murdered the infant of the latter, on the 14th of October last, was resumed—District Attorney Wells prosecuting and Messrs. Willard and A.B. Webb for defendants. Margaret Thompson who lived next door to prisoners, testified that the prisoner, Mary, did not have a child at the referred to. Abraham Glasco testified to the same effect, and also denied certain statements by Fanny Parker, and testified that she swore in the Police Court that she was not present when the child was born and to other things, and also charged him with having carried the child away. Witness knew that his sister did not have a child about that time, and consequently he carried none away. Lucy Linsey testified that she heard Fanny Parker tell Louisa Hanson that she had had the Glascos arrested out of madness. Isaiah Washington testified that he was in the Police Court and heard Fanny Parker testify that she heard the cry before she entered the room.

The Evening Star, January 15, 1878 The Glasco Infanticide Case Today in the Criminal Court, Judge MacArthur, the case of Amy and Mary Glasco, charged with the murder of the infant child of the latter on the 14th of October last, was resumed.

Godfrey, Charles d. 2 Oct 1898 R138/180 Godfrey. On Sunday, October 2, 1898 at 8:30 p.m. at the Emergency Hospital, Charles W. Godfrey, beloved husband of Bertie Godfrey, aged 52 years. Funeral from his late residence, 119 K street northeast, Wednesday at 2 p.m. Friends and relatives invited.

The Evening Star, September 29, 1898 An Engineer Hurt Carelessness at the Dewey Hotel Results in an Accident John Godfrey, an engineer, in charge of the stationary engine at the Dewey Hotel, now in course of erection on L street between 13th and 14th streets northwest, was struck on the head early this morning by a block of wood, carelessly dropped from the scaffolding at the fifth story of the building. Godfrey's head was pretty badly cut, and the Emergency Hospital ambulance was sent for. When it arrived Godfrey was sitting up, conscious, and declined to go to the hospital. The ambulance went back without him, but was summoned again in a few minutes, as Godfrey had become unconscious. He was then removed to the hospital, where it was found he was suffering from a slight concussion of the brain. When a Star reporter went to the new building to ascertain the facts of Godfrey's injury he narrowly escaped being struck by a fragment of plan that had been chopped off with a hatchet from a part of the scaffolding at the top of the construction. There is absolutely no protection for passers-by in front of the building, and the scaffolding is of the most flimsy construction. There is a constant string of laborers going in and out of the building, wheeling barrows of bricks and mortar to the elevator inside, which is operated by the stationary engine outside, and they are in jeopardy all the time from the carelessness of those at work above and the lack of protective appliances.

Godfrey did not recover consciousness after his removal to the hospital, and it was decided to perform an operation upon him. This was done by Dr. W.P. Carr, who trephined the man's skull and while no fracture was discovered, a clot of blood was found on the brain. This was removed, and while Godfrey is in a serious condition, he is not believed to be in danger of losing his life.

The Evening Star, October 3, 1898 Inquest Unnecessary Coroner Carr has decided that an inquest is unnecessary in the case of Charles W. Godfrey, who died last evening at the Emergency Hospital. As already stated in the Star, Godfrey was struck on the head by a piece of falling lumber Thursday last at the Dewey Flats, where he was employed as an engineer. He leaves a widow and daughter. The funeral will take place from Godfrey's late home, No. 117 L street northwest.

The Evening Star, October 4, 1898 Funeral of Charles Godfrey The funeral of Charles W. Godfrey who died Sunday at Emergency Hospital from the efforts of an accident at the Dewey Hotel Building will take place tomorrow at 2 o'clock p.m. from his late residence, Nol. 119 K street northeast.

The Evening Star, Arpril 15, 1897 He Inhaled Gas Suicide of Charles W. Golden, Who Was Despondent Discovery of His Body in a Room This Morning -- Tired of Life Sickness, causing despondency and a fear of ending his days in the poor house, drove Charles W. Golden to end his life last night by inhaling illuminating gas. This morning his dead body was found in bed in his room at No. 457 C street northwest, the boarding house of Mrs. Chamberlain. It was nearly 9 o'clock when Mrs. Chamberlaikn went to his room because of the smell of escaping gas and found that life was extinct. But for fear of making a mistake a physician was sent for, and he saw that life had left the body several hours before the ghastly find was made.

Golden, who was about sixty years old, had occupied a room in Mrs. Chamberlain's house for about eight years. He had usually occupied a hall room, but being sick last winter he changed his quarters to a low room over the back building, the room in which Mrs. Chamberlain stored her trunks. The low ceiling and cramped quarters made the room anything but comfortable, but there was a wood stove in the room, which enabled him to keep the place warm and cook any little thing he might want to eat. Although he had roomed in the house for eight years he had told Mrs. Chamberlain very little of his family connections, except that his niece, Mrs. Carrie Smith, kept a dry goods store in Anacostia. In this way it was learned that he was a brother of the late Stephen M. Golden, who was at one time an assistant superintendent of the county roads. The deceased had been feeling unwell for some time, and his attending physician had said he was suffering from an attack of softening of the brain. Recently he spent about two weeks in Garfield Hospital, so it is said, and when he returned home he said the physicians thought there was not much the matter with him. And he went on the same as he had before he received the hospital treatment, eating his meals at cheap dining rooms and remaining in his room most of the time.

A Financial Delusion Where he got his money was always a mystery to the other people in the house, but he seemed to have a small income. Occasionally he would speak of money matters, and seemed anxious to lead others to the belief that he had spent about all he had, and that he expected soon to go to the poor house. While this was not true, the poor man really believed it was, and it was this ungrounded belief that really caused him to take his life. For several months the unfortunate man had thought of ending his life, for he frequently said that death in this was was so easy. When he would hear of any one committing suicide he invariably discussed the case, and always concluded by saying that suicide was an easy way of ending life. Yesterday he was about the house and was very despondent, as he had been for several days, although he made no remark which indicated that he intended taking his life. Last night he went to his room early, and nothing more was heard of him until this morning, when Mrs. Chamberlain smelled the gas and found the body. When she opened the door leading to the room the smell of gas almost stifled her, but she went in and stopped the flow of gas and opened the windows. Then she called one of the boarders in the house, and he called in Sergt. Hamilton and Policeman Newkirk. They reached the house after the doctor had viewed the body and made out a list of his effects.

Preparations for Death The condition of the room made it evident that the dead man had taken his own life, for he had tied his coat about the stovepipe to prevent the escape of gas and had also put a garment over the keyhole. In his pocket was found a note, evidently written several days ago. This was addressed "Dear Ritie" and read: "If I should die bury me where you choose and if there is any money left give it to Charlie and his mother. I have taken so much medicine and it does not seem to do me any good. Charles W. Golden."

In the dead man's pocket book the police found about $80, and papers found in his bureau drawer indicated that he had more money coming to him. The room in which he was found contained none of the comforts of life, and this was one of the results of his efforts to live economically and save his money. When th epolice had made a thorough investigation of the case Coroner Hammett called and gave a certificate of death. Undertaker J.W. Lee then took charge of the body and removed it to his establishment on Pennsylvania avenue. The police then communicated with the dead man's relatives, who were greatly shocked at hearing th enews of his sad end.

Golden's Family The deceased, as already stated, was a brother of the late Stephen M. Golden, who was a member of the old District legislature. He died several years ago, and for some time previous to his death he was in the dairy business in Anacostia, and his brother, the dead man, was associated with him. The Goldens came here from West Troy, N.Y., many years ago, and Charles W. Golden, who committed suicide was a farmer. He got a position on the Washington and Georgetown railroad as conductor, but left the employment of the company about the time the cable road was constructed. Being a bachelor and being of an economical disposition he saved considerable money, and it was from this money that he got his small income. "Ritie," to whom the letter was addressed, is Mrs. Maria Golden, widow of Stephen Golden, and "Charlie," who is to get his money, is a grand nephew. Relatives have taken charge of the body.

The National Intelligencer, Friday, December 29, 1843 We find in a letter from Washington to the Boston Post the annexed correct, though inadequate, notice of the warm-hearted gentleman and preemimently able bureau officer, the late Mr. Goldsborough:

"Mr Charles W. Goldsborough, chief of the Bureau of Provisions and Clothing in the Navy Department, died at his residence in this city this morning. Mr. Goldsborough had been nearly half a century in the employ of the Government. He was employed as a clerk in the Navy Department at its first organization, when the seat of Government was at Philadelphia, and came from thence to this place when the Government was removed here. He was the chief clerk in that Department while Robert Smith was its Secretary, and he remained so until some time in 1813, when he was left out by Mr. Jones. When the Board of Navy Commissioners was instituted in 1815, Mr. Goldsborough was appointed clerk in that office, in which place he continued till 1834, when, Mr. Paulding having vacated the place of Secretary of the Board, Mr. Goldsborough was appointed thereto. He held this latter place till 1842, when the Navy Department was reorganized into five separate bureaus, and he was then placed at the head of that of Provisions and Clothing. He was a native of Maryland, highly educated, and possessed in an eminent degree the finer qualities of the heart."

At the annual meeting (on the 30th ultimo) of the above-named incorporation, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted by the association, and on motion ordered to be published:

The "Provident Association of Clerks" in the Executive Departments of the General Government would not do justice to themselves nor to the memory of their late President, Charles W.

The Evening Star, February 20, 1877 Death of Rear Admiral Goldsborough Since the opening of the year 1877, six rear admirals of the U.S. navy have departed this life, a remarkable coincidence of fatality, considering the small number of these officers on the list. The last of the six was Rear Admiral Louis M. Goldsborough, who died at the Hamilton House, in this city, at four minutes past 8 o'clock this morning. Louis Malesherbes Goldsborough was born in this city in 1805. He was appointed midshipman in 1822 and was made lieutenant in 1825. During the Seminole war he commanded a company of mounted volunteers, and also an armed steamer. He was made commander in 1841; took part in the Mexican war, and was afterward senior naval officer of a joint army and navy commission on the Pacific coast. He became captain in 1855, and from 1853 to 1857 was superintendent of the naval academy at Annapolis. In 1861 he was placed in command of the naval part of Burnside's expedition to North Carolina. He was made rear admiral in 1862, commanded the European squadron in 1865-67 and subsequently the Washington navy yard.

His funeral will take place from the new Ascension church, corner 12th street and Massachusetts avenue, on Thursday at noon.

The Large Death List of the Navy The death of Rear Admiral Goldsborough yesterday was the sixth of that grade in the navy within fifteen days. Those preceding him were Rear Admirals Joseph Smith, Charles Wilkes, James Alden, Theodore Bailey, and Charles H. Davis. They were all on the retired list except Davis, who had an extension of ten years on account of a special act of Congress. The demise of these officers creates no vacancies. The naval necrology for the year shows twenty-seven deaths, as follows: Eight rear admirals, two commodores, three captains, four commanders, one lieutenant commander, one lieutenant, one midshipman, three cadet midshipmen, two medical directors, three pay directors, one assistant paymaster, one past assistant engineer, three boatswains, and two captains in the marine corps. During 1876 there were fifty resignations in the navy and fifteen dismissals, the latter ranking as follows: One lieutenant commander, one ensign, one pay inspector, nine cadet midshipmen, one assistant engineer, one boatswain, and one acting boatswain.

Dictionary ?? Goldsborough, Louis Marlesherbes, naval officer, was born in Washington, D.C., Feb. 18, 1805; son of Charles Washington and Catharine (Roberts) Goldsborough. His father was the author of "U.S. Naval Chronicle" (1824). Louis was admitted as midshipman in the U.S. navy in 1812, when seven years of age and entered active service in 1816, serving under Bainbridge and Stewart in the Mediterranean and Pacific. He was promoted lieutenant in 1825, passed two years in study in Paris, France, and in 1827 joined the frigate North Carolina in the Mediterranean and was detailed with the schooner Porpoise to cruise in the Grecian archipelago and while commanding a night expedition with four boats and thirty-five men, rescued the English bark Comet which had been captured by Greek pirates. In the combat ninety of the pirates were killed. Lieutenant Goldsborough received the thanks of the English government for this exploit. He then obtained leave of absence and married Nov. 1, 1831, to Elizabeth G. daughter of William Wirt of Virginia, and settled in Florida where he established a colony of Germans on land belonging to his father-in-law. He took part in the Seminole war as captain of a company of Florida volunteers, and afterward as commander of an armed steamer. He was promoted commander in the U.S. Navy in 1841 and served during the Mexican war as executive officer of the frigate Ohio. In 1849 he was senior member of the joint commission of the army and navy appointed to explore California and Oregon. He was superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy, 1853-57; was commissioned captain in 1855; commanded the Levant in the Mediterranean and the Congress in the Brazil squadron, 1858-60; was made flag officer of the North Atlantic squadron and commanded the Minnesota, 1861; directed the naval forces in the Burnside expedition to North Carolina in 1862, and gained possession of the entire sea coast except Wilmington. For his services he received the thanks of congress and promotion to the rank of rear-admiral, July 1862. He commanded the European squadron, 1865-67, and was retired in 1873. He died in Washington, D.C., Feb. 20, 1877.

Goldsborough, Louis Malesherbes (1805-1877), naval officer. Born in Washington, D.C., on February 18, 1805, Goldsborough was warranted a midshipman at the age of seven and actually entered service four years later. He made cruises in the Mediterranean and the Pacific and was promoted to lieutenant in January 1825. For two years he studied in Paris, and in 1827 was assigned to the Porpoise, from which he led a volunteer boat expedition to recapture a British brig from Greek pirates. In 1830 he took charge of the newly established Depot of Charts and Instruments in Washington. Early in the second Seminole War (1835-1842) he led a volunteer company of cavalry. On returning to naval service he was promoted to commander in September 1841. He commanded the Ohio during the Mexican War and in April 1847 Commodore Matthew C. Perry’s squadron in an attack on Tuxpan. During 1849-1850 he served as senor naval member of a commission exploring California. In 1853 he was appointed superintendent of the Naval Academy, where he remained for four years, receiving promotion in 1855 to captain. During 1859-1861 he was in command of the Brazil station. In September 1861 he was appointed flag-officer in command of the Atlantic Blockading Squadron, remaining with the North Atlantic Squadron when two commands were created a month later. In February 1862 he commanded an expedition to land some 12,000 troops under Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. The landing was accomplished on February 7, and on that and the next two days the gunboat force under Commander Stephen C. Rowan destroyed a Confederate gunboat fleet under Flag-Officer William F. Lynch. Goldsborough returned to Hampton Roads, Virginia in March, after the battle of the Monitor and the Virginia (ex-Merrimac) there, and in April organized naval support for Gen. George B. McClellan’s Peninsular campaign. He conceived as his principal responsibility the protection of McClellan’s base on the peninsula and the sea lines to it, and to that end he devoted much of his effort to keeping the Virginia bottled up in the Elizabeth River. That he did, refusing McClellan’s repeated requests that he leave Hampton Roads and split his forces to attack Yorktown from the water and also move up the James River. McClellan finally succeeded, through President Abraham Lincoln, in getting a flotilla under Commander John Rodgers sent up the James on May 7. The flotilla was halted at Drewry’s Bluff on May 15. Meanwhile Norfolk navy yard had been captured and the Virginia, left without a base, was destroyed by her captain, Flag-Officer Josiah Tattnall, on May 11. Goldsborough cooperated with McClellan in shifting the army’s base to the James River and in covering the withdrawal from the peninsula in late June. In July he was promoted to rear admiral, but the separation of the James River flotilla from his command, coupled with public criticism of his actions, led him to request being relieved of his command in September 1862. He served in an administrative capacity in Washington until 1865, commanded the European Squadron from

1865 to 1867, and was then again in Washington until his retirement in 1873. Goldsborough died in Washington, D.C., on February 20, 1877.

Golway, William d. 10 Jun 1888 R87/318 The Evening Star, June 12, 1888 Killed by the Train Mr. Golway Rescues a Woman From Death, But Loses His Own Life At a few minutes before 8 o'clock last night the New York and Washington passenger train on the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad, on L street, between 15th and 16th streets southeast, struck and killed Mr. Wm. Golway, who resided at 915 8th street southeast. Just beyond the point where the accident occurred the road makes a curve and there is a cut in the embankment. This makes it difficult for the engineer to see far ahead. Mr. Golway and his wife had be walking in the neighborhood of the Congressional cemetery and were returning by the railroad. When the train was a short distance from them they got off the track, and hearing a woman scream they stopped, and Mr. Golway went to the assistance of a Mrs. Smith, who was still on the track and was so paralized with fear as to be unable to move. Mr. Golway succeeded in pushing her off the track. In the meantime, although the train had slowed up, the engineer, Mr. Booth, having been put down the airbrakes with such force as to cause a jolt through the train, yet the engine struck Mr. Golway, knocking him against the embankment. When the train was stopped it was found that Mr Golway was dead. His body was placed on the train and brought to the depot in this city. Officer Acton sent for the first precinct patrol wagn, and the remains were removed to his late residence, to which place his wife, completely prostrated by the shock, had in the the meantime been carried. Mr. Golway was sixty-eight years old, and one ft eh oldest amnd most respected citizens of southeast Washington. His son, Officer Golway is now in Cincinnati with the Washington Divison of Knights of Pythias, and was notified last night of his father's death.

The coroner, Dr. Patterson, will hold an inquest at 11 o'clock tomorrow.

The Evening Star, June 13, 1888 How Wm. Golway Was Killed The Result of the Inquiry by a Coroner's Jury Today Coroner Patterson held an inquest today over the remains of Wm. Golway, who was killed Monday evening by being struck by a train on the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad, on L street, near 14th street southeast. The inquest was held in the back parlor of Mr. Golway's residence, 915 8th street southwest. The jurors were John Smoot, Frank P. Weiler, Harry Meader, Samuel Rieber, Joshua J. Green and B. Benjamin Earnshaw.

Mr. Golway when killed was out walking with a party consisting of himself and wife, Miss Katie Shelton, Miss Mamie Shelton and Miss Birdle Grimes.

The first witness examined was Miss Mamie Shelton. She said she was in a field picking daisies when she saw the party starting to cross the railroad track. It was beyond the tunnel and near where the railroad curves. They were between the tunnel and the curve. She did not hear or see the train or hear any whistle blow. After the train struck Mr. Golway it went way into the tunnel and then backed out. The witness said that it was not the case, as published, that Mr. Golway went upon the track to rescue a woman. Her aunt, Miss Kate Shelton, was the only one who saw the train, and she rushed to save Mr. Golway, and in her fright fell on the other track. Her falling, the witness said, saved her life. The train, she said, was going fast.

Birdie Grimes testified that she heard some one say cross the track. They were chasing each other in play, and started to cross the track to go up to the warehouse. Mrs. Golway and witness had crossed, and the other three members of the party were on the other side of the track. Then Mr. Golway started across and was struck by the train. Witness did not hear the train or see it until it was right in front of her. They were near the curve. She heard no whistle or bell. She did not think Mr. Golway saw the train before attempting to cross, as none of the others did.

Miss Katie Shelton is ill, and was unable to attend as a witness.

Dillare H. Bowne, conductor of the train, testified that he heard the engineer blow the warning signal, and the train stopped ina bout the length of thirteen cars. When the signal was given the train was east of the warehouse, at the curve. The witness said they had not reached the tunnel when the train stopped. Some of the passengers jumped off and ran back before the train was backed. He heard the whistle blow first, he said, at the crossing about a square east of the poitn where the man was struck. It was customary to blow the whistle at all such crossings. When the whistle first sounded they were running, he thought, between 25 and 30 miles an hour. Witness thought that at the point where they picked the body up the train could be seen for more than a distance of 300 feet. The accident occurred about 7:52. There was no regulation about speed at that point that witness knew of.

The coroner said there was a general order made by the District Commissioners some time ago limiting the speed of trains within the city limits to 12 miles an hour.

The witness thought a person standing where Mr. Golway was found could see around the curve.

Robt. Booth, the engineer of the train, testified that coming around the curve he saw the party. One lady went over and another with a gentleman remained on the north-bound side. He started over and then went back, and the started over again when the engine was nearly upon him. Then he was struck. If he had remained when he went back instead of starging over again he would have been safe. The witness blew his whistle when he saw the man start back. He was about the length of a car away. He put on the brakes and held on to the whistle at the same time. The engineer said the bell was ringing constantly from the time the train left the Eastern Branch bridge until the man was struck.

Eugene F. Arnold, who was a passenger on the train, testified that after the train had curved the bridge, he heard the whistle blow several times just before the train began to slacken up. The were running at a rapid rate. He thought they were running 35 or 40 miles an hour. They were a trifle late, he thought, in leaving Baltimore and they made the run to this city inside of an hour. He thought it was about a square and a half from the last car of the train when it stopped, backed to the point where the body lay.

Mr. Booth, the engineer, said that running at 40 miles an hour the train might have been stopped within two or three hundred feet beyond the point where the train was stopped.

Mr. Arnold said that he observed that at the point where the body lay the track could not be seen eastward for a distance of more than 50 feet.

Gong, Lee d. 16 Nov 1897 R132/252 The Evening Star, November 18, 1898 Chinese Funeral Lee Gong's body was this morning laid to rest for a brief season at Congressional cemetery, it being intended to have it taken up and conveyed to China. The dead man was forty-four years old and was a laundryman. He lived at No. 104 4 1/2 street, where he died of consumption two days ago. His death was kept as quiet as possible, for the reason that it is distasteful to the Chinamen to have a big crowd of curious people at the grave to see them burn incense and the dead man's effects and put baked chicken, rice and wine upon the mound above the dead. The result was that very few people knew of the funeral arrangements, and the crowd of spectators was small. Lee Gong had lived in this city for twelve years, and had been sick about twelve months.

A precious one from us has gone A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home That never can be filled. By His Wife and Children

Graham, George b. 1772 - d. 9 Aug 1830 R30/42 Graham. Yesterday morning at 2 o'clock, at the residence of Mr. Robert Y. Brent, near this city, George Graham, Esq. Commissioner of the General Land Office. -- An obituary notice will be attempted by the writer of this article, for an early number of the National Intelligencer, which may, in some measure, be suitable to the melancholy occasion, and exhibit a faint outline of the distinguished merits and character of this most valuable and estimable gentleman.

The National Intelligencer, August 26, 1830 The Late George Graham The short notice which was published of the death of George Graham, Esq., late Commissioner of the General Land Office, immediately after it occurred, has served to spread the intelligence of that event, and to excite the sympathy and regret of as numerous and respectable a portion of the whole community, as the death of almost any other individual belonging to it could occasion. It took place, as has been already stated at the house of a friend and relative, Robert Young Brent, Esq. in the neighborhood of this City, in the morning of the 8th inst.

The union of the highest intellectual endowments, with a correspondent cultivation and improvement of them, by assiduous study, judicious research, and an extensive experience in useful and honorable pursuits, eminently distinguished and characterized the deceased, in private and in public life; but these qualifications, valuable and useful as they are in themselves, were in him adorned, in a most eminent degree, by the qualities of a heart of the purest benevolence, and by an innate and a lofty sense of honor, which served to invest them with their true value, and to give them their proper efficiency and direction, within the sphere of his means and opportunities.

Mr. Graham was the eldest son of Richard Graham, Esq. of Dumfries, in Virginia, from his marriage with Miss Brent, the fourth daughter of George Brent, Esq. of that neighborhood; and much of the excellence and undeviating correctness of his character and conduct, in every stage and vicissitude of his subsequent life, may be justly ascribed to the truly maternal fondness and solicitude of that estimable lady, in training his

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/12/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

youthful mind to the principles of virtue and truth, and above all, to the brightness of the model, which she, herself, exhibited, in her own life and character, in all the excellencies peculiar to her sex.

After having accomplished his academic and collegiate studies in the then best institutions of the United States, with great advantage and improvement, he was for several years employed by his father in superintending the location and survey of extensive tracts of land, which he owned in the Western country; and, soon after his return from this service to Dumfries, his native place, he married the widow of George Mason, Esq. of Lexington, in the neighboring county of Fairfax, of which county he then became a resident. Here his merits and talents soon pointed him out to the freeholders of that county, as a fit person to represent them in the Legislature of their State, and he was accordingly almost unanimously elected for several successive years, as one of the delegates of that county, to the General Assembly of Virginia. He served as elector, also, of President and Vice President of the United States twice of thrice during this time, giving his vote upon the first occasion to Mr. Jefferson, and upon the others to Mr. Madison, for the office of President. During the late war between the United States and Great Britain, and at a very gloomy period of the contest, it is understood that President Monroe, then acting as Secretary of War, who had known him intimately and thoroughly from his earliest youth, and was well acquainted with the sterling worth of his character in all its bearings, offered him a high military rank in the service of the country, and the circumstances prevent him at the time from the acceptance of it; but an occasion soon afterwards happened, which enabled Mr. Monroe, to evince a still higher confidence, perhaps, in his talents and knowledge of public affairs, by associating him with himself in the care of the Department of War, that he might devote more of his own attention to his duties as Secretary of State. He was employed in this way, greatly to the advantage of the public service, and to the satisfaction of those who had transactions with the Department of War, for a considerable length of time; when the then President Madison, assigned all the duties of that Department to him, as acting Secretary of War. Throughout the war, and for some time after its termination, he continued to be employed in this and other stations of trust and confidence in the public service, at the Seat of Government; and upon the establishment of the present Bank of the United States, or soon afterwards, and the location of a branch of it in this city, he was appointed to the presidency of the branch, which he retained until he was appointed Commissioner of the General Land Office, upon the transfer of Judge McLean from that station to the office of Postmaster General of the United States, and he occupied this place till the time of his death.

From what has been said, it would be superfluous to add, that in the relations of domestic, social, and public life, the deceased fulfilled, with exemplary kindness and philanthropy, and with the soundest judgment and discretion, all the obligations incident to these several relations.

Having become a widower by the death of his first wife, he married some years ago Miss Jane Watson, the daughter of James Watson, Esq. of this city, and from both his marriages he has left small but interesting families, with an afflicted widow, to every individual of whom his lamented death will prove one of the severest and most trying calamities which can ever befall the domestic circle.

The writer considers it a tribute which he owes to the memory of the deceased to record this imperfect sketch in relation to his character and service; and it may likewise serve as a faint memorial of the high and distinguished estimation in which they were so justly held.

??? Cyclopedia of American Biography Graham, George, cabinet officer, was born in Dumfries, Va., in 1772. He was graduated at Columbia in 1790; practiced law in Prince William county, Va., removed to Fairfax county and on the declaration of war against Great Britain in 1812 he recruited the "Fairfax light-horse" and commanded the troop during the war. When General Armstrong retired from the war department in 1813, Graham took charge of the office as chief clerk and continued in that office under Secretaries James Monroe, 1814, William H. Crawford, 1815-16, and Isaac Shelby, 1817, and when the latter declined the nomination Mr. Graham was secretary of war ad interim until the office was assumed by John C. Calhoun, the same year. He continued as chief clerk under Mr. Calhoun and in 1818 at the request of the secretary, visited the threatened French armed settlement at Orcoguises Bluffs, Texas, and finding the colonists on Galveston island en route for the bluffs, he induced them to abandon their plans. He was president of the Washington branch of the Bank of the United States, 1819-23, and commissioner of the U.S. land office, 1823-30. He died in Washington, D.C., in August, 1830.

Graham, Col. William Montrose b. 11 Feb 1798 - d. 8 Sep 1847 49 yrs. R51/220 The National Intelligencer, October 25, 1847 From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin Among the officers who it appears were lost to their country in the recent assault upon the city of Mexico was the gallant Lieutenant Colonel William Montrose Graham, of the 11th Regiment United States Infantry. Col. Graham was about forty-seven years of age, and was a brave soldier. He entered at the West Point Military Academy in 1813, and graduated in 1817 as 3d lieutenant of artillery. Another brother, James D. Graham, of the Topographical Engineers, one of the most scientific, accomplished, and valuable officers in the service, entered and graduated the same year. They were the sons of Doctor William Graham, of Prince William county, Virginia, who served (as did also others of the family with distinction as officers) in the Revolutionary struggle. Col. Graham, whose fall we are now noticing, was, soon after he graduated at West Point, selected by his commander (General Jackson) to perform some arduous and responsible duties among the Southwestern Indians, which he did so satisfactorily that he was highly complimented by the General. Having been transferred to the 4th Regiment of Infantry, under Col. Clinch, which was in Florida, he joined it, and was placed in command of Fort King, for a long time in the very heart of the troublesome Miscosakies.

The writer of this notice knew him well during that period, and can bear full testimony to his possession of all the qualities that ennoble a gentleman and a soldier. He was in Florida in 1835, when the Seminole war broke out, and bore the brunt of the first battle at the Withlacoochee, where his gallant final charge upon the Indians with the bayonet dispersed the savages and aided greatly in securing the victory. Col. Clinch, in his official report, spoke in the highest terms of the conduct of Col. (then Capt.) Graham. He fell in that charge with two severe wounds from the Indian rifles, (one received early in the fight,) and his brother (Lieut. Campbell Graham, of the Artillery, now Captain of Topographical Engineers) also received at the same time two severe wounds, at first believed to be mortal, but from which he recovered after a long time. Throughout the whole of the Florida war "the Grahams" were distinguished for their intrepedity and soldierly conduct. Co.

Douglas Zevely, Old Houses on C Street and Those who Lived There, (4-1-1901), Vol. 5, pp. 151- 175 On the northeast corner of the 4 1/2 and C streets is where Mr. Gottlieb C. Grammer lived for 27 years until his death there in January 1857. One of the surviving children of the family, Rev. Julius E. Grammer, who has been a resident of Baltimore for many years was born there in 1831. The house was built very early in the last century by a Mr. Caldwell of Philadelphia, a seafaring man. It still stands on a high terrace as originally built, but the old-fashioned gable roof and attic were replaced with a mansard roof when the late F.A. Lutz purchased the property in 1861; and he also added one story at the same time. One peculiar feature of the interior of this house was the high mantles elaborately carved to represent the rigging and equipment of a seagoing ship, such as spars and anchors, a fancy, it is supposed, of its builder. These were removed by Mr. Lutz, however, when he became the owner of the property.

Over the death of Miss Grammer a large circle of fiends in this and other communities will blend their sympathetic grief.

To a remarkable practical sagacity and the nicest intuitions of her sex, she united all the advantages of a varied observation in extensive travels in this and other countries.

Decision of character and womanly gentleness were beautifully united in her qualities of mind and heart.

A minister of mercy to the sick, and a watcher in many years of tender assiduities by the dying, she was a true sister of charity.

From her youth a member of the Episcopal church her closing testimony to her Savior, as in the beginning of her Christian life was: I have always trusted His love!

In that great cloister's stillness and seclusion, By guardian angels led, Safe from temptation, safe from sin's pollution, She lives, whom we call dead. Carriages will be at the Baltimore and Potomac depot at 2 p.m. Thursday, the 17th inst., for those who desire to attend the services at the Congressional cemetery.

Mr. Grant left his home at 1321 Harvard street northwest about 8:30 o'clock, on his way to the Treasury Department, where he was employed in the office of the auditor for the Treasury. He was suddenly taken ill and soon became unconscious. The police patrol from the eighth precinct station was hastily summoned to take him to the hospital. With him on the car at the time he was taken ill was Herschel Cooper husband of his niece.

Was Under Treatment Mr. Grant had not been in good health for some months and was under treatment by Dr. Harry Stone, but his condition was not deemed at all serious. Yesterday he complained of shortness of breath, but this morning when he left his home he said he was feeling quite well.

He was born in Portsmouth, Va., July 27, 1860, but lived in Washington since 1865. He was educated in the public schools and for more than thirty years was employed in the government printing office, where he learned his trade as printer.

Between four and five years ago he was transferred to the Treasury Department. He lived with his sister, Mrs. Ella R. Lutton, who, with two brothers, Percival B. Grant, an employe of the District water department, and Clifford L. Grant, a member of the detective force, survives him. He was unmarried.

Was Militia Officer When he was a young man he joined the Washington Light Infantry Corps, which in the National Guard of the District was known as the 1st Battalion of the 1st Infantry. For many years he was lieutenant and adjutant, and later became captain of Company A.

Mr. Grant was made a master Mason in Dawson Lodge, No. 16, May 13, 1889, and became its worshipful master in 1894. He was made a Royal Arch Mason in Eureka Chapter, No. 4, July 8, 1889; was knight in Washington Commandery, No. 1, August 14, 1889, and he became its eminent commander in 1899. He was received in Almas Temple of the Mystic Shrine, September 30, 1889, and was chief rabban, the second highest officer of the temple, in 1897 and 1898. He was a member of Kallipolis Grotto of the Veiled Prophets for some time, and was its chief executive at the time of his death.

Mr. Grant was a member of Century Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and received the thirty-second degree in the Scottish Rite bodies in 1893.

No arrangements have as yet been made for the funeral.

Grant, Louis E. d. 4 Jan 1859 R75/87 The Evening Star, January 5, 1859 Suicide By Prussic Acid A clerk in the Navy Department named Louis E. Grant committed suicide yesterday morning at his boarding house (Mrs. Holmead's, Four-and-a-half street) by taking prussic acid. Some say that the act was committed from disappointed affection, others, from general despondency. He was about thirty years of age, and had at one time held the post of colonel in the Mexican service under Comonfort's administration. The law approved September 30, 1858, requires each apothecary to keep a register, in which the sale of poison is recorded, with the date of sale, the name, age, and profession of the purchaser, the kind of poison, and the use for which he desires it. The register of the druggist where deceased obtained the poison shows that the provisions of the law were complied with. The poison was bought "Saturday, Jan. 1, 1859" the name given was "Mr. Grant", age "thirty", occupation "clerk, Navy Department", article "prussic acid", use "for chemical purposes." It will be seen from the above that the poison was procured two days prior to its use. His friends on ascertaining that he had taken poison made every exertion to save his life, but were only able to protract his existence a couple of hours.

P.S.--On the night previous to his fatal act, he induced Mr. Albert Janvier, his friend, to sleep in his room. Throughout the night and yesterday morning he appeared collected and cheerful. As they were dressing, he went to the washstand and suddenly swallowed an ounce of prussic acid, that was not visible to Mr. Janvier ere he saw him apply it to his mouth. Instantly afterward, Grant asked Mr. J., in a joking manner, whether he had ever seen a man die of poison? And on being answered in the negative, he remarked quietly that he had just taken poison and was dying of it. He then fell back on the bed, and Mr. Janvier rushed over to the office of Dr. Boyle, who immediately hurrying over to where Grant was laying, found the room filled with the odor of prussic acid, and G. too far gone to save his life. The unfortunate deceased was a man of intelligence, and bore an excellent character.

Gray, who committed suicide by drinking chloroform at the Chicago Hotel, on Pennsylvania avenue, yesterday afternoon, as stated in The Star, came here from Philadelphia Monday afternoon with his wife to attend to some business matters. His mission in Philadelphia, it is stated, was to meet his business partner, Samuel A. Williamson. Monday night, after reaching Washington, he rode out as far as Glen Echo with his wife. Yesterday morning he went to the Chicago Hotel, a short distance from where he had registered with his wife.

He talked with Mr. Connors, proprietor of the hotel, and about 3 o'clock in the afternoon informed Mr. Connors that he had but five minutes to live, and requested that his wife be summoned from Made's Hotel. Mrs. Gray was summoned, but her husband died before she reached him.

The deceased was a native of Erie county, Pa. He graduated as a physician from Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, but has not practiced his profession for some time. A number of years ago he moved to near Industry, W. Va., where he was interested in a number of business enterprises.

While Dr. Gray had visited this city on business a number of times, he was better known in Baltimore than he was here. In the Monumental City the doctor was a member of the order of Odd Fellows, and members of a local lodge called on the bereaved widow last night and tendered their assistance.

Green, Adwin W. d. 31 Jul 1909 R84/275 Green. On Saturday, July 31, 1909 at 12:30 a.m., Adwin W., beloved husband of Lillie M. Green (nee Gray) aged 48 years. Funeral from his late residence, 473 W street, Anacostia, at 1 p.m., Monday, August 2 service at Anacostia Baptist Church. Interment at Congressional Cemetery. Friends and relatives invited (Alexandria papers please copy).

The Evening Star, August 2, 1909 Former Soldier's Burial Funeral Services Over the Remains of Adwin W. Green The funeral of Adwin W. Green, who died last Saturday morning at his residence, 473 W street, Anacostia, after an illness of almost two years, took place this afternoon from the Anacostia Baptist Church. The services were conducted by Rev. F.I. Bardens.

Mr. Green was born in King George county, Va. in 1861. At the age of nineteen he enlisted in the 5th United States Infantry, and for five years served his country, participating in subduing many Indian uprisings in the northwestern part of the country.

Upon the expiration of his enlistment term, he came to Washington and in 1885 he was appointed to the police department of this city and served faithfully up to December 1907, when he became physically unable to perform his duties. His record as an officer was exceptionally good, and many times he was offered promotion, but owing to reasons of his own he preferred not to accept. One of the predominant features of his life was the desire to always stand for the right and to down wrong.

Besides his wife, Lillie M. Green, five children, J. Paul, Ellen Myrtle, Donald Ralph, Zaldee E. and Adwin W., survive him.

The Evening Star, November 2, 1867 Fatal Accident on the Street Railroad A Boy Killed This morning about 9 o'clock, a boy named Charles Green, between 7 and 8 years of age, son of Mr. Thomas Green, a letter carrier, residing on C street, near First street west, was killed in New Jersey avenue by one of the cars of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad running over him. It appears from statements made by persons near by at the time, that the deceased with two other boys was playing on the car, which was braked up and had no horses attached, and by some means the brake was loosened and the car started down the grade, when the boy Green fell off, and under the car, the wheels passing over his head fracturing the skull and literally crushing out his brain. He was of course killed instantly. The body was immediately taken up-- Sergeant Pierce and Officer Brewer and others assisting--and Dr. Munder was called but could be of no service. There are other rumors in relation to the affair, one of which is that the boy was thrown off by the car running round the curve, and still another that at the time he was attempting to get on the car. The Coroner was immediately notified, and before the jury the facts will come out.

The Evening Star, November 4, 1867 The Accident at the Depot On Saturday afternoon, in the absence of the coroner, Justice Charles Walter held an inquest on the body of the little boy, Charles A. Green, who was killed on New Jersey avenue about mine o'clock on Saturday morning by a car of the city passenger rail was running over him. The evidence was to the effect that the car was being backed down on the main track, preparing to leaving on the regular trip, and that the boy attempted to get on from the rear. He succeeded in getting on, but fell off as the car was coming on another track, the wheels passing over his head crushing it in the most horrible manner, the brains of the child running on the track. The jury found that the deceased, Charles A. Green came to his death this November 2, 1867 by the wheels of a railroad car on New Jersey avenue, running over his head and crushing him to death, he having

attempted to hang on the outside of said car. And the jury do further agree that the persons in charge of the car at the time are not censurable for neglect of duty.

The Evening Star, July 4, 1912, p. 2 Child Struck By Auto Mildred Greenwell, Five Years Old, May Die of Injuries Mildred Greenwell, five years old, who is suffering from fractured ribs, possible laceration of the liver and other internal injuries as a result of being struck by an automobile, was taken to the Casualty Hospital shortly before noon today. C.S. Wilson, chief engineer at the Benning plant of the Potomac Electric Power Company, whose automobile figured in the accident, took the child to the hospital.

The accident occurred in front of the girl's home at 1221 Florida avenue northeast, when she attempted to cross the street. It is said that two wagons were passing the house at the time, one of them having been on the wrong side of the street, and when the child passed behind one of them she was struck by a wheel of the automobile.

Capt. Daley of the ninth precinct was told that Mr. Wilson was operating his automobile at a rate of less than ten miles an hour, and he was able to bring the vehicle to a stop almost the instant the child was struck.

Picking her up and placing her in the automobile, Mr. Wilson made all possible haste to the hospital. Physicians have little hope for her recovery.

The Evening Star, January 10, 1891, p. 16 Death of a Prominent Knight of Pythias The Knights of Pythias have suffered quite a severe loss in the death of one of their hardest working members, David Gregg, past grand chancellor.

He was up to a few years ago, one of the most prominent members of the order in this jurisdiction, having passed through all the chairs of Harmony Lodge, No. 21, and the Grand Lodge, with the fullest honors that could be accorded to a member. Several years ago his business compelled him to remove to New Orleans and then to Augusta, Ga., where he died very suddenly last Thursday of pneumonia. While residing in the south he has taken the greatest interest in Pythianism and was instrumental in the formation of several new lodges and uniform divisions in the neighborhood of those two cities.

His remains will arrive in the city this evening and will be buried tomorrow at Congressional cemetery by his old lodge, Harmony, No. 21, with all the honors of the order.

The Evening Star, January 12, 1891 A Knights of Pythias Funeral The funeral services of the late David Gregg, past grand chancellor, Knights of Pythias, took place yesterday afternoon from the residence of Mrs. Mary Sadler, 803 New Jersey avenue. Mr. Gregg, who had been an earnest worker in the order and a charter member of Harmony Lodge, No. 21, of this city, died at Augusta, Ga.

The remains were accompanied from Augusta by two brothers of the deceased, Messrs. William S. Gregg and Samuel Gregg.

On account of the high position of the deceased and the esteem in which he was held it was intended to have an imposing parade, but the heavy rain partially prevented. The following were represented in the line, however:

Washington Division, No. 1, U.R.K., in command of Capt. Harry Coggins; Nelson Division, No. 2, in command of Capt. Lemuel Fugitt; Columbia Division, No. 3, in command of Capt. James E. Smith; Hermione Division, No. 4, in command of Capt. Henry G. Wagner, and Harmony Lodge, No. 21, in command of Capt. William G. Lown.

The interment was at the Congressional cemetery with Pythian honors and the services were conducted by the Rev. Philip A. Crist of the Central Union Mission, who read a portion of Scripture and offered a fervent prayer.

Gregory, Joseph d. 31 Jan 1914 42 yrs. R92/338 The Evening Star, February 1, 1914, p. 1 Hangs Himself In Police Cell Joseph Gregory, Suspected of Parcel Post Stamp Theft, Ends Life His Sister is Implicated In Charge Of Offending Threat to Die Rather Than Accept Sentence To Workhouse Is Heard by Other Prisoners Joseph Gregory, draftsman, forty-two years old, last night committed suicide in a cell in the first precinct police station, hanging himself with his belt.

Gregory, who lived with his mother and brother at 407 6 1/2 street southwest, was arrested by Policeman Percy Elliott because he had a number of parcel post stamps in his possession. He was placed in a cell about 6:20 o'clock, the record shows. At 7:30 o'clock his lifeless body was found.

Implicates His Sister When Gregory was arrested he stated that the stamps were given to him by his sister. Mrs. S.A. Howell of Kremlin, Va, where he spent two months this winter. Mrs. Howell recently visited her mother and brothers in this city.

Other prisoners heard him protest his innocence. Ernest Graham, who occupied a cell near him, said he heard him say:

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/12/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

"I'll die before I'll go to the work-house."

Doorman Martin Brown, asked for a cup of coffee by another prisoner, detected the limp form of Gregory.

Gregory, it is believed, had stood on his iron cot, fastened the belt about his neck and dropped. The drop was far enough, it is supposed, to break his neck. Death resulted from strangulation, the coroner stated.

Dr. Arthur Zinkhan reached the police station while the body still was warm. He applied the pulmotor, but was unable to induce respiration. Coroner Nevitt later viewed the body and said he would defer signing the certificate until today.

Mother Defends Son Mrs. Matthew D. Gregory, mother of the dead man, who lives on 6 1/2 street southwest, who is more than eighty years old, said that the stamps her son had were given to him by his sister, Mrs. Howell a few days ago. She said the stamps got wet and that her daughter did not want to bother with them.

"If he was arrested because he was trying to sell the stamps," said his mother, "he was arrested for nothing. I can tell the police about them, and so can his sister.

Mrs. Florence E. Gregory, wife of the deceased, resides at Rockville, Md., the police were told. A receipt for a registered letter sent her two days ago was among the effects taken from Gregory when he was arrested. Gregory's body was taken to the morgue.

Greuhm, Frederick d. 1 Dec 1823 53 yr. R31/32 The National Intelligencer, December 3, 1823 On Monday morning, at his residence near Georgetown, Baron Frederick Greuhm, Minister from the Prussian government to the United States.

He was eminent at home no less for his attainments than his merit, and had pursued the diplomatic career, with great consideration and success, for three and twenty years. It would be unseasonable to recount the services by which he had recommended himself to the favor of his sovereign; but it may be interesting to the American public to learn, that, on a mission, some years since, to London, he exerted himself with an admirable zeal in promoting contributions for the relief of the soldiers wounded in the late disastrous wars, and that he has, through life, and often in this country, given proofs of a most compassionate temper, and a spirit really munificent. So full was the confidence reposed in his abilities, that he was appointed to serve in Spain during the critical and difficult conjuncture of the last half year. But he esteemed himself most happy in getting his destination changed to the United States, where he had already resided as Minister for two years, and now returned, after a lapse of two years more, to die! During that residence he had endeared himself to a large circle of acquaintances, as well private as official; for few failed to conceive at once a high esteem for him, and to feel a secret charm in his manners, which displayed the truest simplicity and frankness, even while he was discharging the duties of a Courtier. He leaves an afflicted widow in a foreign land, with few consolations besides those which she derives from the sympathies of the community. He had reached the age of fifty-three, and fell a victim to three successive fits of apoplexy originating in a constitutional complaint.

The Funeral of this lamented gentleman is expected to take place on Thursday. Of the arrangements which shall be made respecting it, notice will be given in the paper of that morning.

The National Intelligencer, December 4, 1823 Neither House of Congress sits this day.--Though the motive be not recorded on their journals, it is presumed this adjournment, from Wednesday to Friday, was out of respect to the nation whose worthy Representative has just closed his mortal career among us, and whose funeral will take place this day.

The Circuit Court of this District, it will be seen, also adjourned over, from the same motive.

------

OFFICIAL. Mr. De Greuhm, Minister Resident of his Majesty the King of Prussia to the United States, Knight of the Order of the Red Eagle, departed this life on Monday morning the 1st instant, at about five o'clock, at his late residence in Georgetown. His funeral will take place on Thursday the 4th of December, [This Day] at 11 o'clock a.m. at the Church of the Rev. Dr. Laurie, F street. The procession will be formed under the superintendence of the Marshal of the District of Columbia. The friends and acquaintances of the deceased are invited to attend.

------

Circuit Court of the District of Columbia The Court having been informed of the Death of Monsieur de Greuhm, resident Minister of his Majesty the King of Prussia to the United States, and Knight of the Order of the Red Eagle, and the Judges having been invited by his Excellency the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russia's and the Charge des Affaires of his Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway, to assist at the Funeral,

It is Ordered, That the Court be adjourned until Friday next, at ten o'clock. Wm. Brent, Clerk

The National Intelligencer, December 5, 1823 The funeral of the late Mr. Greuhm, the Prussian Minister, took place yesterday, according to appointment, and notwithstanding the almost unparalleled inclemency of the weather, was attended by all the principal Officers of the Government, and many others. Had not the storm of rain and wind been so pitiless and incessant, the procession would have been one of the largest ever seen in this city.

The occurrence is a new one under our government; this being the first case of the death of a Foreign Minister at the Seat of Government. Every respect has been shown to the merits of the deceased, as well as to the nation of which he was the Representative, that circumstances would admit."

Having suffered a long time, all of which she bore with a true Christian faith, ever trusting in the Lord, her last words were, "Sweeping through the gates of the New Jerusalem." A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. God, in His wisdom ahs recalled The boon His love had given, And though the body moulders here, The soul is safe in Heaven. By Her Husband Farewell, farewell, my sister dear, We bid you our last farewell; No more on this earth of sorrow and pain] Shall we ever look upon your face again. These many years you have suffered At all times trusting in the Lord, And with a true Christian faith Gone from us here to your home above. By Her Brother. Her funeral services will take place at the Ryland chapel, corner 10th and D streets southwest, on Friday afternoon at three o'clock. The friends and relatives are respectfully invited to attend.

The Evening Star, May 14, 1909 Miss M.E. Griffin Dead Smithsonian Clerk for Many Years Expires Suddenly Miss Margaret Ellen Griffin died suddenly about 1 o'clock this morning in the apartment of a friend at the St. Lawrence, 1807 California street. Miss Griffin occupied an apartment in the St. Lawrence, and this morning she went across the hall to the room of her friend and complained that she was ill. She adopted the suggestion that she remain there until a physician could be summoned, but when the latter arrived he found life was extinct.

Miss Griffin, who was 67 years old, was a native of Virginia, and spent her early days in North Carolina, coming to this city about 40 years ago. She had been employed as a clerk in the Smithsonian Institution during the past 35 years. It is stated that she had been ill recently, having been treated for heart trouble, and her death, Coroner Nevitt found, was due to valvular disease of the heart.

Miss Griffin, Coroner Nevitt was told, had but few relatives here. Her nearest relatives, he was told, were nieces, and they were notified of her death.

Griffin, Mary d. 17 Mar 1912 R55/314 The Evening Star, March 18, 1912, p. 4 Shoots Wife Dead Man Then Turns Revolver on Self, Ending Life Marriage Was Unhappy Mrs. John Griffin Had Gone to Houseboat to Effect Reconciliation Quarrel Follows Attempt Passerby, Who Tries to Grasp Pistol From Husband, Has a Close Call Mrs. John Griffin, who had four little children, went to a houseboat lying in the river at Half and V streets southwest yesterday afternoon confident that she could patch up the trouble which had separated her from her husband. All she got for her optimism was two bullets and the husband then turned the revolver toward his own head and sent a bullet crashing into his brain. John Draper of 619 11th street southeast came within a few inches of sudden death also when he stepped between Mrs. Griffin and her husband's smoking revolver. As it was, the bullet tore through his coat directly over the heart, but did not touch his body.

The shooting, it is declared, was the culmination of the old story of a husband's brutality to a wife, aggravated by constant habits of drink. Mrs. Griffin lived at Beltsville, Md., in her childhood days and was so bright as a

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/12/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

girl that she was adopted by a family who lived in Anacostia. Later she met John Griffin and married him. That was nine years ago, and in that time they have had four children.

Children Sent to Asylum For a year or two the husband was all that he should have been. However, the drink habit appeared early in their married life. The neighbors say he abused the woman especially when getting over a spree. In spite of this, Mrs. Griffin, hoping for the best at all times, stuck to him. It became necessary not long ago to have the children placed in an orphan asylum, as the father did nothing for their support, it is said.

John Griffin wandered away from his wife and spent much of his time on or near the river. He had a habit of living on an old houseboat owned by Arthur Crouch, and it was there that his wife called to see him yesterday.

With the faith of a wife, Mrs. Griffin told her friends yesterday she expected to bring her husband back to her that day. She had been working in a hotel, had a steady job and a dollar or two besides. She had made up her own mind that it was time she helped her husband out of the rut.

So she put on what finery she had including a bit of green for St. Patrick, and started for Arthur Crouch's houseboat. She was confident that her steady position would help a long way toward settling the differences. Probably no one knows what the conversation between the two on the houseboat was, for the next seen of Mrs. Griffin she was walking away from the boat. John Draper, who had so close a call with Griffin's bullet, saw her walking up the street, with her husband a short distance behind her. It was evident they had not left the boat together.

Draper saw the man had a pistol and started for him. Mrs. Griffin hard an angry word behind her, and was surprised, on turning around, to see her husband armed. Draper was struggling with Griffin, who broke away and shouted at his wife:

"I'll fix you."

Woman Falls Dead Then he fired and the woman who had come to bring her husband home again fell dead.

"And I'll shoot you," he shouted at Draper. A second shot, intended for Draper, cut through his coat, and then Griffin ran forward to where his dead wife lay and shot her again in the head. Then he raised the weapon to his temple and shot himself. He appeared to be trying to shoot himself in the head again, but the last bullet entered his chest.

Draper did not know he had come so close to death until a friend, George Adams, pointed out the bullet hole in his coat.

Both the bodies were sent to the morgue. They will be buried together.

The Evening Star, October 4, 1910, p. 1 Two Die in Blast Third Man Is Injured in Explosion at Navy Yard Victims Badly Mangled First Terrific Blast Was Followed by a Second One

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/12/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

New Explosive Is Blamed No Official Statement Made, But It Is Known Experiments Were Being Conducted Two men were killed and one other painfully injured by two fierce explosions in the fuse and prime shop at the Washington navy yard about 1:30 o'clock this afternoon.

John Cademartori, thirty-eight years old, an Italian whose address was 942 E street northwest, was one of the men killed. James Griffith, fifty-five years old, of 321 G street southeast was the other. Cadermarori was badly mangled.

Were Assembling Fuses Christian Scheide, a workman at the yard, who lives at 915 9th street southeast, was seriously injured.

It was stated at the yard this afternoon by Capt. E.F. Beatty, U.S.N., the commandant, that the three victims of the explosion were engaged in assembling fuses for the major caliber guns. He could advance no theory to account for the accident.

One of the employes of he yard declared positively, however, that just before the explosion the three men had been engaged in experimenting with a new explosive. This employe insisted that these experiments had been going on for some time under he direction of a workman from he plant of the du Pont Powder Company at Wilmington, Del.

Died at the Hospital The ambulance of the Casualty Hospital, summoned by officials of the navy yard, reached the scene of the accident a few minutes after the explosion. Dr. McGovern, who was in charge, saw at a glance that Cadamartori was beyond human aid and turned his attention to Griffith.

Griffith was hurried to the hospital alone, but he lived only about fifteen minutes after being put on the operating table.

After leaving Griffith in charge of he house surgeons Dr. McGovern hurried the ambulance back to the navy yard and took charge of Scheide. He was on the operating table for over an hour while the powder and small particles of steel were being taken from his body.

The morgue wagon called at the navy yard and took the body of Cadamatori to the morgue. Later it went to the Casualty Hospital for the body of Griffith.

News Broken to Family The news of the death of John Cademartori was conveyed to his relatives by a Star reporter. He lived a 942 E street northwest, and his brother is a fruit dealer, having a stand at he corner of 10th and D streets northwest. His brother said he had heard nothing of the accident, but that Cademartori was employed at the navy yard.

The brother immediately set out to find what he could about the accident, vainly hoping that the dead man was some other Italian by the same name.

The board named by the commandant to investigate the accident is composed of Lieut. Commander Arthur L. Willard, Lieut. James H. Tomb and Lieut. Richard Wainwright, jr.

Shop Is Badly Wrecked The two explosions caused great excitement in the vicinity of he navy yard. The fuse and primer shop, which his badly wrecked as a result of the successive blasts, is in the northwest corner of the grounds, a short distance west of the main entrance and close to the residences of he Marine Corps officers stationed at the yard.

Coroner Nevitt, who was immediately notified of the accident, announced his intention of making an investigation.

Inquiry Board Named Capt. Beatty appointed a board of inquiry after the explosion, and this body immediately began a rigid investigation to ascertain the cause of the explosion.

Capt. Beatty said this afternoon he was absolutely unable to suggest a possible cause of the accident. More han 6,000 fuses had been put together without any accident whatever.

Cademartori lived at 942 E street northwest.

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/12/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

Scheide's address is given as 915 9th street southeast.

Cardematori had been in this country about twenty-five years, having come here when he was nine years of age. He had been employed in the navy yard for about six years and during he Spanish-American war he fought in the navy. He was unmarried.

The Evening Star, October 5, 1910, p. 19 Explosion Verdict Jury Finds Griffith's Death Was Accidental Witnesses Are Called Lieut. Craft Says Every Precaution Was Taken at Navy Yard Dangerous Explosive in Use Detonator Is Believed to Have Gone Off In the Hands of Cademartori "Accidental death" was the verdict of a coroner's jury at the inquest at the morgue today in the case of James E. Griffith, one of the victims of the navy yard explosion yesterday afternoon.

The three men who figured in the tragedy were experienced in their work, they did not disregard the safety rules, precautions had been taken to protect them from accident, but they were handling a high explosive, not as sensitive but more violent in its action than fulminate of mercury--such was the story briefly told, with scant particulars, to the jury, composed of J.M. McCauley, S. Porter House, Charles F. Burke, E.R. Brooks, R. Edwin Joyce and J.E. Jesse. The family of Griffith was represented by Attorney E.C. Dutton, who cross- examined some of the witnesses.

Lieut. Ralph P. Craft, U.S.N., under whose supervision the work of the dead and injured men was conducted, was the first witness. He said that four men were employed in the shop loading and assembling fuses. Cardematori, Griffith and Scheide were in the shop at the time of the explosion. The fourth man, named Oxford, who had come from Newport, was not in the building, but grinding compound elsewhere. Each operation, Lieut. Craft said, was conducted under a steel dome two inches thick, so arranged with a looking glass that the men had only to look into the glass to see what was going on. They were, he thought, amply protected from accident.

There was no time when they had to look under the dome. He examined it when he entered the building but it really did not require inspection.

Last Stage of Operations The men at the time of the explosion were employed on the last stage of the operations, which is considered the least dangerous. It was that of putting the detonator into the sieve and screwing on the cartridge. The substance used in the detonator, the winess said, was a detonating compound manufactured by the du Pont Powder Company and bough by the government from it. It was not as sensitive as fulminate of mercury, but its action is much more violent.

Lieut. Craft said he did not regard the work as dangerous or extra hazardous under ordinary precautions, which had been taken. he detonating compound, he said, would not go off unless struck with a blow. He described the building in which the work was done as an oblong structure sixty feet in length, with concrete foundation and steel girders. He could not say without further investigation what caused the accident. He knew Griffith to be a very careful man.

John P. McKenna of 322 D street southwest, an ordnance man in the navy yard, of many years experience and a shopmate of Griffith, testified that he was working in a shop not far from the building in which the accident occurred. He heard the report of the first explosion, and ran out, knowing what it was, in time to see the second explosion. He ran up to the fuse and primer shop, and saw Scheide, who had gotten out before the second explosion, walking toward him.

When he reached the inside of the shop he found Cademartori face downward on the floor, with blood all around, and Griffith in a stooping position, his face hanging down, as if he were tying to assist Cademartori. McKenna said he got Griffith out and warned the others, who had come to get Cademartori, to run, because he saw a flame where the second explosion had taken place and he knew that something worse than dynamite was stored there, and he feared a second explosion.

Continuing, the witness said the two men who were killed were working side by side at a table, and Scheide, with his back toward them, was working at a second table a few feet away.

Testimony of Surgeon

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/12/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

Surgeon L.W. Spratling, U.S.N., detailed for duty a the navy yard, testified that Cademartori and Griffith were taken to the dispensary between 1 and 1:30 o'clock, after the explosion. Both were severely burned and wounded about the body, head, chest and arms, and were suffering from shock.

Dr. Edward J. McGovern of Casualty Hospital treated Griffith on his arrival at the hospital. He said he was covered with wounds from his thigh to his head, and they were ragged on the edges. Griffith was unconscious when he arrived at the hospital and died of shock within fifteen minutes afterward.

Dr. Charles Stanley White, deputy coroner, performed an autopsy on the body of Griffith. He said the body was badly marked by powder wounds, burns and black. There were lacerated wounds varying from a pin point in size to a bean from the legs to the top of the head. Death was due, he said, to the violence of the shock and concussion. The wounds were all superficial, none of them deep and none of itself sufficient to cause death.

The jury soon agreed on the following verdict: "We find that James E. Griffith came to his death October 4, 1910, at the Casualty Hospital from burns of the body caused by an explosion at the United States navy yard while working with a high explosive compound. We believe that death was due to accident."

No Official Report Yet While the official board of inquiry at the navy yard has not yet submitted its report, it is the belief of those who heard the testimony at the inquest that one of the detonators exploded while in the hands of Cardemartori, and that while Griffith was endeavoring to assist him the second explosion followed which caused his death.

Cleveland Griffith, son of the deceased, says his father had been apprehensive of danger and that he had suffered from headaches since he was put to work on the fuses. The young man was told that his father was conscious a few moments yesterday after the accident happened.

"Lefty" Hughes, well known as a base ball player, who is employed in the navy yard, saw Mr. Griffith during the few moments he was conscious. The dying man said to him: "Lefty, I guess it's all up with me now."

Officers Are Reticent Except the fact that there were two explosions in the fuse and primer shop in the north portion of the Washington navy yard, near the administration building, yesterday afternoon, and that two men are dead and one painfully if not dangerously injured as the result officials of the navy yard today declined to give any information regarding the tragedy.

Capt. F.E. Beatty, the commandant, stated that he would add nothing to what had already been said until he received the report of the special board of inquiry appointed by him immediately after the accident. That board is composed of Lieut. Commander Arthur L. Willard, Lieut. James H. Tomb and Lieut. Richard Wainwright, jr. It could not be told this morning when the report would be ready.

Briefly reviewed, the facts, as they appear after the confusion that followed the explosion cleared away, are that about 1:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon, shortly after the lunch hour at the navy yard, a terrific explosion occurred, followed by one less severe.

It was located in the old fuse and primer shop, and Capt. Beatty, and other officers hastened to the scene. There they found John Cardemartori, an Italian, about forty years of age, dead; James Griffith, about sixty years old, fatally injured and dying, and Christian Scheide, about fifty-five years old, painfully injured. Scheide was conscious and his nerve had not deserted him. He tried to talk with the commandant, but evidently was suffering from great pain from the concussion and numerous wounds from the flying glass that was driven into his back.

Body Taken to Morgue Cardemartori's body was removed to the morgue, and Griffith was taken to Casualty Hospital, where he died while on the operating able, almost immediately after his arrival. Scheide was cared for by surgeons at the navy yard, but later he, too, was taken to Casualty Hospital. Reports of the accident, some of them much exaggerated, rapidly spread over the city, and soon the wives and members of the families of men employed in the yard were on the scene with inquiries about their relatives.

The building where the accident occurred was shattered, and in the center of the room where the three men had been at work "assembling fuses," as the commandant said, a long table on which had rested delicately adjusted scales was found shivered through the center. The assembling table, some distance off, was not seriously damaged. Capt. Beatty said he was unable to account for the accident, or even to conjecture how it had occurred.

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/12/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

He had appointed an expert board, he said, to look into the matter thoroughly and report to him. He added that the duy of the three men, who, he said, were the only occupants of the building, was to "assemble fuses" of major caliber. The fuses were used to fire the shells in the larger guns. They were composed of several parts, which, after being loaded, were assembled or put together.

According to Capt. Beatty, 6,000 fuses had been thus assembled without accident. He did not know whether the explosion was due to the dropping of a loaded fuse or not. In the room were many parts of the loaded fuses to be assembled, but as rapidly as the assembling was completed the fuses were taken from the building. Capt. Beatty denied that any experiments were being conducted by the men, who were the sole occupants of the building. He said that all of them were employes of the navy yard and that there was no one else engaged in the work.

Were Conducting Experiments Inquiry of men employed in the yard who pretended to know what had been going on in the fuse and primer building brought forth statements that for some time these men had been conducting experiments with a powerful explosive under the supervision of a man from the du Pont powder works. It was said that in recent target practice of ships of the navy it was not a very unusual occurrence for a shell to fall to explode when the gun was fired. Under the naval regulations the breech of a gun is not allowed to be opened for thirty minutes after a shell has failed to explode.

This, it was explained, was a serious delay, should the vessel be in action. It was to make sure that the shells would always be exploded that the experiments were being conducted. Capt. Beatty, when asked about this, said there was no man from the du Pont powder works employed in the fuse and primer building; all the injured men were attached as regular employes to the navy yard, and they were the only ones engaged at the time.

Lieut. Ralph Payne Craft, U.S.N., who was about to go to the building to conduct an inspection when the accident occurred, is reported to have declared that the danger to the men making the new secret fuses is so great that the workmen are protected by armor plate two inches thick during all the processes, except assembling, which was being done when the accident occurred.

There are three machines used to make the fuses, it is declared. One of these is a compressor, used to compress the explosive in he detonator. Another is a crimper, used to crimp he primer over the end of the detonator tube and hold the primer in place. The third is an unscrewing machine, used to take the detonator out, so that there will be no possibility of an explosion.

Machines Covered by Armor It is explained that all these machines are under an armor cover, and the men operating them can only see what is going on inside, as they manipulate the loading and other machinery, by gazing into a looking glass placed before a small hole in the armor, this hole facing a three-foot thick wall, banked by six feet of earth, so that if there is an explosion the charge will go out the hole and toward the brick wall and embankment.

Giving this explanation of the machinery in use and the protection accorded the workmen, Lieut. Craft is reported to have added:

"There has always been a great waste of shells, and in designing the new fuse, which is the product of the Washington navy yard, the object has been to get a fuse that will positively make the shell detonate and explode when i reaches he target. This we have accomplished."

The Evening Star, April 8, 1904, p. 1 Meet Horrible Death Four Men Victims of Explosion and Fire Bodies Badly Burned Accident at Pintsch Gas Works This Morning Cause Not Yet Ascertained One Injured Man Dies in Emergency Hospital The bodies of three victims of an explosion and fire were removed to the morgue this morning from the plant of the Pintsch Gas Company, at 13 1/2 and E streets southwest, and a fourth man was removed to the Emergency Hospital suffering from burns, which subsequently proved fatal. The explosion occurred at about 4:35 o'clock, and not a man who was in the engine room at the time escaped its force, all failing to escape before the flames had done their deadly work. The dead are Joseph Cumberland, Stephen Henson and an unidentified colored man. Charles Griggsby was the one conveyed to the hospital. Henson was the engineer in charge of the engine room this morning and Cumberland was his fireman. Griggsby was employed as an extra helper. There were other men employed in the building at the time, but they were not in the engine room, and were therefore not injured. Warren Horstman was just outside the engine room and the force of the shock threw him down, but he jumped to his feet and ran to a point where he was safe from the blaze.

What caused the explosion no one seems to know. Mr. G.H. Reilley, superintendent of the works, says he has no idea of the cause. If anybody did know the cause it was one of those who had been killed. Mr. Reilley was at home when the accident occurred, but he reached the building shortly afterward and had a force of men at work clearing away the debris. Besides the damage to the engine, the south wall of the second story of the building was blown out, causing the damage that can hardly be repaired in less than a week's time. While the repairs are being made the cars will get their supply of gas from the Baltimore plant. A new plant is now being erected between Brookland and Eckington and will be in operation about the first part of September. Pipe lines run from this plant to the depots and New Jersey avenue yard, and many of the buoys along the Potomac river received their supply of gas there.

Plant Run Night and Day Because of the immense amount of gas the local plant is required to furnish, the work in the building has been carried on night and day. Those who were on duty at the time the explosion occurred had been there all night. Henson, Cumberland and Griggsby were on duty in the engine room, while the others were in the boiler room, or just outside the building. Horstman's duties called him outside, and, he saw the colored man when he appeared. The latter stopped at the door and was standing there with his hands resting against the facings when there came the flash which was followed by a loud report and the falling of the upper portion of the south wall. The colored spectator had not been there more than a minute when he was blown ten or fifteen feet away. He was not thrown far enough away, however, to put him out of reach of the flames, and

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/12/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

he was burned to death. When his charred body was picked up there was just enough skin left on his body to tell his color. His clothing had been burned completely from him, but one shoe had not been destroyed. His body was picked up in front of the engine room.

Horribly Burned Griggsby, who was taken to the hospital, where he died, was in the small engine room with his fellow workmen. His clothing caught fire, but he managed to get outside the structure. His clothing was naturally saturated with oil and grease, and it was practically impossible for him to prevent inhaling the flame. When he reached the outside of the building there was a colored man there, who threw a blanket about the form of the man, who was fast burning to death, and extinguished the flames. Griggsby was unconscious and those who gathered about the scene of the fire did all in their power to ease his pain until the arrival of the ambulance, when he was hurried to the hospital. Dr. White took him to the emergency room when the hospital was reached, he was placed in a ward, his death resulting about 12 o'clock.

Policemen from the fourth precinct reached the scene of the fire a short time after the explosion occurred, and several companies of the fire department responded to an alarm turned in from box 417.

Very Hot Fire The task of the firemen was a dangerous one because of the close proximity of the big gasometer and the presence of oils and other inflammable material in the building. It was only hard and courageous work on the part of the firemen that prevented loss of additional lives, and also prevented the destruction of the entire building. The firemen succeeded in a short time in extinguishing the flames and returned to their quarters when all danger of further trouble had passed.

The force of the explosion had aroused many people living in the vicinity of the north end of the Long bridge and was felt by residents of Virginia. Despite the early morning hour at which the accident occurred several hundred people soon gathered. Women feared they had been deprived of their husbands, and parents were on hand to make certain that their sons had not been burned to death. Some men who belonged to the force on duty last night had been excused, and their friends and relatives feared they had been burned to death, as they knew nothing of their having taken a night off.

During the entire forenoon relatives of men in the employ of the company called at the wrecked building and made anxious inquiries. One who called was Miss Cumberland, sister of one of the victims, but she was unable to get information about her brother. From the scene of the fire she went to the morgue and asked for permission to see the bodies. She was not certain that one of them was that of her brother and she felt she would be better satisfied if she could see it.

"I would rather you would not go in the morgue," the superintendent told her. "The bodies are not in condition for anybody to see. If you have any male relatives or friends they might look at the body for you."

Friends View the Remains Just then two friends of Cumberland and Henson called.

They were admitted to the morgue and they identified the body of Henson. This identification made it certain that the other body was that of Cumberland. A number of friends of both dead workmen called at the morgue during the day, but only a few of them were admitted. There was no reason for exhibiting the body of the colored man, for there was nothing about his remains which would assist in the work of identification. The shoe taken from one foot, the superintendent of the morgue stated, can be identified. There was a suspender buckle on the body, but it is of common pattern and will probably be of no help in the matter of getting the body identified.

Coroner Nevitt was informed of the horrible affair and visited the building early this morning. He saw several men employed about the gas plant and questioned them, but was unable to ascertain anything to give him an idea of the cause of the explosion. The coroner decided to hold an inquest to have a jury pass upon the affair. The hearing will be held at the sixth precinct police station, Monday morning at 10 o'clock.

Horstman's Story Warren Horstman, who had so narrow an escape, was seen by a Star reporter this morning. He h ad hardly recovered from his fright. All he was able to tell was that he was knocked down and that he ran as fast as he could when he regained his feet. He saw the colored visitor when he stopped at the door. The colored man, he said, was not there more than a minute when the explosion occurred. Mr. Horstman said he had no idea what caused the explosion.

Mr. Reilley, superintendent of the plant, made a similar statement regarding the cause of the explosion. He said he had been unable to find anything about the building to indicate what had occasioned it. Workmen, he

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/12/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

said, are not permitted to smoke in the building, and so far as he knew the machinery was in perfect condition.

A number of small boys gathered about the building this morning and picked over the pile of debris for souvenirs. They carried off small bolts, nails, screws and even some of the smaller tools from the engine room. Occasionally one of them would make a ghastly find in the shape of a bone or something from one of the bodies of the victims.

The police remained about the building during the morning.

The death of Griggsby was a peculiarly sad one. Relatives and friends had called at the hospital during the morning to see him, and his wife and child were at his side when death claimed him. Miss Cumberland, who had called in the belief that the man under treatment was her brother, was admitted to the room. The patient was asleep when she called, and when she had satisfied herself that he was not her brother, she went to the morgue. Relatives of the victims sought to obtain their bodies this afternoon to have them prepared for burial and the coroner granted the requests. This was done by swearing a jury over the body of Stephen Henson, and the adjourning the hearing.

Chief Belt's Report Chief Engineer William T. Belt this afternoon submitted to Commissioner Macfarland, who has supervision over the fire department, a report relative to the fire and explosion of gas at the Pintsch Gas Company's plant at 13 1/2 and E streets southwest. Chief Belt mentions in his report the fatalities resulting and the injuries sustained by Charles Griggsby and added "The casualties occurred as a result of the explosion of the gas, which happened before the alarm was sounded."

Chief Belt states that the damage to the machinery and building amounted to about $2,000. In closing his report the chief says:

"The department ahs responded on several occasions to fires in this plant and it has always been considered by the department as extremely hazardous in case of fire."

Commissioner Macfarland requested Chief Belt to explain his note to the effect that the plant is "extremely hazardous." Chief Belt stated that all the regulation shave been complied with by the company, but that from the nature of the business there is danger to the employees working about the building. The danger from explosions and fire at the plant are not imminent to the public, but only to the employees of the company in the building.

Commissioner Macfarland expressed regret at the unfortunate disaster and stated that he will look into the matter to see if any further precautions can be provided for the safety of those employed in the building.

The Evening Star, April 11, 1904, p. 13 Employees Blamed Coroner's Verdict Regarding Pintsch Gas Explosion Was Lack of Caution Engineer's Death Prime Cause of Investigation Many Witnesses Examined by Jury This Morning -- Gasometer Pumped Almost Free of Gas

Interments in the Historic Congressional Cemetery Last Updated: 2/12/2015 Name Birth/Death Age Range/Site

After a delay of three-quarters of an hour waiting for witnesses, inquiry was begun by Coroner Nevitt and a jury at 10:45 o'clock this morning at No. 6 police precinct to determine the cause of the explosion at the Pintsch gas works, 13 1/2 and E streets southwest, early last Friday morning, which resulted in the death of Stephen Henderson, of Alexandria, Joseph Cumberland, Charles W. Grigsby and an unidentifeid colored man.

After hearing a number of witnesses and after deliberating ten minutes the jury this afternoon decided that the explosion at the Pintsch gas works was "due to lack of caution on the part of the employees in charge of the plant at the time of the accident."

It will be recalled that Friday morning, April 9, at about 4:35 o'clock, a tremendous explosion occurred in the boiler room of the southern portion of the Pintsch gas works, fronting on Water street, which resulted in the destruction of life and of the entire purification plant by fire, which immediately started. Hendersobn, Cumberland and the unidentified negro were in the engine room at the time when the explosion which resulted in their deaths occurred without warning. The men were chatting away pleasantly when a deafening report was heard and in a jiffy the entire plant was filled with flames and fumes of gas.

Henson was on the outside of the building and lost his life in an attempt to save the life of one of his coworkers.

The jury was composed of F.K. Raymond, Charles Jacobsen, C.E. Wood, F.S. Donaldson, Francis Reeside and J.F. Jarner, and a full and complete inquiry was begun.

The First Witness Warren Horstman of 1242 Union street southwest, a survivor of the accident, was the first witness. He told of the explosion at the gas works, and said he was standing near the engine room door just before the explosion. He had been a round the plant all morning, and had been with the company two or three years. At the time of the actual explosion he was twenty-five or thirty feet from the building. Things were working all right, he said, and there was no suggestion of anything being out of repair. He had seen the colored man before, but did not know him. The plant had not been shut down for repairs since the new engine was put in.

The witness' ideal of the cause of the accident was that a gasometer which holds gas was pumped too low. This, he said, was probably the fault of the engineer. When gas commenced to rise it overflowed. He thought it to be dangerous, and others tried to stop it. Witness made an effort to get Cumberland out, but he would not come; so, fearing an explosion, he got out, afer warning them of the danger. He couldn't get to Henderson to call him out. He had, he said, enough warning to get out, from his knowledge of conditions. They wanted him to come in, he added, but he saw there was danger, and declined.

Liquid was thrown in a four-foot stream when there should have been no liquid at all. The overflow of the gasometer, in his judgment, caused all the trouble.

Henderson, Grigsby and Cumberland were trying to cure the trouble in the gasometer. He knew there was a stoppage in a pipe by the showing of the gauge. The engineer and others were supposed to watch the gauge.

The explosion occurred fifteen minutes after the gauge indicated that something was wrong. He had never seen the indicator show trouble of a like nature before. It had, however, showed stoppage.

Henderson was in charge, and it was his duty to watch the gasometer. Before the explosion Cumberland was pulled out, but went back. Witness believed Henderson was overcome by gas. When Cumberland got out he appeared dazed, and wanted to get back to remedy the trouble with the leakage.

The explosion occurred three minutes after Cumberland went back. Witness thought he knew what was coming and ran. Floors were full of liquid at this time, and witness said he knew something was going to happen. The liquid was almost knee deep.

The explosion knocked witness fully fifteen feet. He got up and kept on running. Grigsby was running behind him in a blaze of fire. Grigsby dropped in the street and tried to roll himself on the ground to put out the flames.

When witness called attention to the leak he told those in authority and got away. If they had left sufficient gas in the gasometer the accident, in the opinion of the witness, could not have occurred.

Chas. H. Riley's Testimony Charles H. Riley was next called. He is superintendent of the Pintsch Gas Company at Washington, in charge of the local plant.

"After an investigation of the accident," said Mr. Riley, "I went to the plant. I saw a blaze coming out of the engine room and tried to turn off the feed valves leading into the city. I noticed the walk was covered with the liquid which runs off from the gas, and recognized it as coming from the gasometer, which could only occur by reducing storage of gas in the gasometer."

The leakage, he said, must have been going on some time before it was noticed. When the gasometer is nearly exhausted there is an indicator with which the engineer was supposed to shut off the pump. Mr. Henderson, witness said, had been employed three months, and was a competent man and appreciated the dangers. Mr. Cumberland was also supposed to watch the gasometer. Cumberland was an expert gasmaker.

Mr. Henderson was one of our most valuable men. In the judgement of the witness the cause of the explosion was that the gasometer was "sucked too low" and water took its place and blew out water and oil and flooded. Cumberland tried to shut it off, witness said, but was unsuccessful. The accident was caused by the engineer running pump too long, and the gas caught fire from exposed light outside of the building. There were no lights in the building.

There is no way to watch gas in a gasometer by mechanical means, the witness said. It takes a man to do it. The company is using the same appliances in the new works. The plant is safe and running today. The only other accidents before at the plant were caused by carelessness. Nothing can happen when every man does his duty.

Railway Men as Witnesses L.R. Jones was called. He stated he is a brakeman on the Pennsylvania railroad and said he was standing at a switch near the Pintsch gas plant. He saw the flash and heard a report. The concussion threw him down. He got up and ran, and saw Grigsby run out with his clothing in flames. Witness did not see any other person run, but noticed an unusual smell of gas. He noticed nothing unusual about the building, but ran to fire alarm box and turned in an alarm.

George M. Parrott, a Pennsylvania railway employee, hear the explosion and saw the fire and noticed the police and fire departments.

E.F. Vermillion, a local boiler inspector, told of an examination of the plant of the Pintsch gas plant last Friday morning. He found trouble in compressor room twenty-one feet away from the boilers. He believes the fired started from standpipe which was placed there to put water in the gasometer. Gas ignited by gas jet outside the window. The building was constructed in compliance with regulations. The boiler room was intact. Witness said the only substance that exudes is as explosive as gasoline.

Mr. Jones was of the opinion that the explosion was due entirely to the gasometer. This, he said, was shown by the gasometer itself, and if it had been properly watched by those in charge the explosion could not have occurred. The plant, he said, was always in good condition.

C.W. Somerville, a computer, testified that he could not say what caused the explosion. The building, he said, was in good shape before the explosion.

Among other witnesses called was Joseph H. Wilson. Mr. Wilson saw Grisby, and attempted to put out the fire with which he was enveloped.

P.W. Nicholson, assistant to the fire marshal, thought the explosion was due to an accumulation of gases. There had been some trouble with pumps, he says, caused by stoppage probably from the tar in the pipes.

Coroner Glazebrook told of examining the body of Mr. Henderson. He found it, he said, badly disfigured, and there was a strong odor of gas about it. He was badly burned. He had been asphyxiated, the doctor said.

His friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend.

The Evening Star, November 21, 1873 Locals Mr. Adam Grinder, the well-known and respected brick maker, died yesterday morning at his late residence, near the Virginia avenue bridge, in the 56th year of his age.

The Evening Star, February 24, 1874 A Contested Will Case Today, in the Circuit Court, Judge Carter, the case of Grinder et al., agt. Grinder, was called, Mr. J.E. Norris for plaintiff, and Judges Moore and Paschal for defendant. The case comes up on issues from the Probate Court, on the will of the late Adam Grinder, who died a few months ago, as to whether the testater was at the time of executing the will capable of making a valid deed or contract. It will be recollected that deceased was a brick maker in the southern part of the city, and left considerable property in that section, and after his death several papers, purporting to be his last will were propounded in the Orphans' Court, dated respectively March 23d, 1865, February 3d, 1870, and December 28th, 1871. One of these alleged wills leaves his estate, personal and real, to the widow absolutely; the second bequethes to her the personal property and a life estate in the real estate, and the third bequeathes the estate to the widow, two brothers, and a nephew. The object of this suit is to act aside the last will, on the ground that he was at the time incapacitated from making a valid will be reason of intemperance. A large number of witnesses were sworn on both sides on this point.

The Evening Star, October 3, 1859 Horrible Affair Saturday evening about 8 1/2 o'clock a.m., an affair occurred at the shop of Wm. Grinder, near Lambell's brick yard, between Adam Grinder, brick-maker, brother of William Grinder and Thomas Martin, which resulted in the very dangerous wounding of the latter by Adam Grinder. The wound was inflicted with a knife about the stomach and is several inches in length, also wounding the entrails, which protruded from the wound. Drs. Dove, Boyle and Coombe were soon on the spot and administered chloroform, and then proceeded to replace the entrails and sew up the gashes. Notwithstanding, the effect of the chloroform, the pain at times was so intense as partially to arouse the sufferer His recovery is possible, but it is feared that death will ensue. A Captain Goddard and Lieutenant McHenry went to the place as soon as they heard of the affair, but Grinder had left and could not be found by the officers. It is supposed he has left the city.

Goddard took the following affidavit of Mr. Joseph Z. Williams, which more fully explains the affair:

On this 1st day of October, A.D. 1859, before me a Justice of the Peace, in and for the county aforesaid, personally appeared Joseph Z. Williams, and made oath in due form of law, that he was present at the shop of Wm. Grinder on the evening of the 1st of October, about 6 1/2 o'clock p.m,. that angry words passed between Adam Grinder and Thomas Martin, when they both agreed to have done with said angry words, but still continued to talk. When about three feet apart, Adam Grinder called Martin "a son of a b---h,". Martin replied, "You are a son of a b--h" or "a damed Dutch son of a b---h," one or the other. Then Grinder said, "come to me," and began to shove his shoes off. Martin replied "I am now where I was when I said it." Grinder then made towards Martin; they made several passes towards each other; which hit first I can't tell. Martin said, "you have got a nife." Grinder muttered something, and Martin said, "am killed; take me home!" Some one assisted Martin to his steps, and Wm. Grinder came out of his shop and Adam went in with him. They both seemed to have been drinking and in liquor. They were friends previous to this affair.

Guden, Ludwig d. 5 Jul 1900 45 yrs. R139/250 The Evening Star, July 5, 1900, p. 2 Dr. Girden Arrested The Man Accused of Duping Residents of This City A warrant charging Ludwig Girden with grand larceny was sworn out this afternoon by Detective Miller. The theft of a watch and chain is charged in the warrant. Inspector Boardman received information from Baltimore this afternoon of Girden's arrest in that city, and a detective went to Baltimore with the warrant and will make an effort to bring the prisoner here for trial.

Complaint was made to the police at headquarters yesterday afternoon against a man who introduced himself as Dr. Ludwig Girden, a graduate of Vienna, Munich, Augsburg and Heidelberg. He gave the information that he was a specialist in contagious diseases. Charges were made against the doctor by John B. Nierendorf, a saloonkeeper, at 1213 Pennsylvania avenue northwest; Edward F. Abner of the firm of Abner & Drury, brewers, and Rudolf B. Schwickardi, a clerk in the pension office.

The office address on the doctor's card was given as 231 4 1/2 street, but Detective Miller was informed yesterday that the man had no office at the 4 1/2 street house.

According to the information received by the detectives, Dr. Girden arrived in this city about ten days or two weeks ago and soon made the acquaintance of a number of business men and others. It is alleged that he obtained $35 from Mr. Abner, $20 from Mr. Nierendorf and a gold watch and chain, valued at $125, from Mr. Schwickardi by alleging that he needed money to pay the expressage on about $3,000 worth of medicines and instruments.

It is charged that when the doctor called on Mr. Schwickardi he stated that he must have $11 right away. The latter did not happen to have the money in his pocket at the time and handed over his timepiece with the suggestion that he borrow the money on it.

The Evening Star, July 6, 1900, p. 10 Weak Heart Causes Death Ludwig Guden Expires in Cell at Police Station Was Accused of Obtaining Money Under False Pretenses-- Arrested in Baltimore Dr. Ludwig Guden, otherwise known as Dr. Ludwig Reiter, who was arrested in Baltimore yesterday for the authorities here, as published in yesterday's Star, was brought to Washington late in the afternoon by Detective Miller and locked up at the first precinct station. About 10 o'clock last night he became ill in his cell and died almost immediately. His body was removed to the morgue, where an autopsy was performed this afternoon by Deputy Coroner Glazebrook.

The Bavarian doctor was arrested in Baltimore at the request of Inspector Boardman. With money that he had obtained in this city, under alleged false pretenses, he had purchased a ticket for Bremen and had sent his baggage aboard the North German Lloyd steamer Rhein, on which he was about to sail. The valuable gold watch and chain he had obtained from Rudolf B. Swickardi, he had on him when arrested. He returned with Detective Miller without the formality of a requisition. On his way here he complained of being sick. Later, when he confronted some of his alleged victims at the first precinct station, he also said he was sick, and asked them not to be hard on him. Because of his illness, he said, he was unable to answer many questions, but expressed belief that he would be all right in a couple of days.

Remark Frightens Him Before leaving the prisoner, who came here a stranger two weeks ago and gained the confidence of many persons, one of his alleged victims jokingly remarked:

Wait till I see you at Sing Sing.

This had the effect of frightening the prisoner, the police believe, for he was very nervous when he returned to his cell. About 10 o'clock the attention of the stationkeeper and Policeman Austin was attracted by the prisoner groaning, and when they reached his cell they found him on his knees apparently suffering intense pain. The cell door was opened and the police applied remedies while waiting for the arrival of a physician. Dr. Smith of the Emergency Hospital staff, who reached the station in a few minutes, found that life was extinct.

So far as the police know, Dr. Guden, or Dr. Reiter, obtained from people in this city a little more than $100 and the watch and chain. During the time the doctor was in this city he boasted of his ancestry. He said his father was doctor to King Ludwig of Bavaria, who was drowned a number of years ago, and was with the king at the time and was also drowned. He frequently referred to his brother, who, he said, was a military officer. What the man's name really was the police do not know.

After his arrest he admitted that he had obtained money from a number of people here, but said he merely borrowed it, and declared it was his intention to return it after he reached home.

The autopsy showed that death resulted from a weak heart, and was caused by excitement.

Gunton, Mrs. Mary R. d. 20 Feb 1853 R51/154 The National Intelligencer, Feb. 28, 1853 At her residence in Prince George's county, Sunday, the 20th instant, Mrs. Mary R.M. Gunton, consort of William A. Gunton, Esq., and daughter of John B. Mullikin, in the 27th year of her age. The duty devolved upon us in recording the above is a very melancholy one, for there are few of our readers to whom it will not be the occasion of much heartfelt sorrow. Possessed of rare qualities, both of head and heart, she was long the delight of a large circle of friends; and the same qualities which then endeared her as a companion have since enabled her to sustain fully the nearer and more responsible relatives of a wife and mother. Her melancholy and premature decease leaves a vacuum which were wholly irreparable but for the certainty that a lasting reward has been bestowed upon her as the meed of her many and eminent virtues. This is the most ample consolation--as indeed it is the only one--that it is possible to offer to those her friends who are lamenting under so severe a dispensation. Such afflictions as this--where those beloved for their exalted traits and qualities are suddenly cut off-are the most fruitful themes for grief; though surely without reason, as it is in these instances, and these only, that we have a guarantee so sure as to make the affliction more a cause for joy than for sorrow.

The Evening Star, February 25, 1889 A Sudden Summons Miss Helen Gurley Falls Dead in the Street From Heart Disease The funeral of Miss Helen Gilman Gurley, the daughter of Mr. W.B. Gurley, took place this morning from the family residence, 909 13th street. Miss Gurley's death, which occurred Friday evening, was a great shock to her family and friends. In company with a number of young friends, all connected with the New York avenue Presbyterian church, she was on her way to the Bethany mission, which is in charge of that church, to give an entertainment for the benefit of the members of the mission Sabbath school. The young people were in good spirits and Miss Gurley laughed and chatted with the others. When hear the mission she spoke of feeling strangely, and then, without another word of any sign of distress or pain, she tottered and fell into the arms of a friend. Supposing that she had fainted, no special alarm was occasioned at first. A carriage was at once summoned and she was taken to her home. The physician who arrived late said that she was dead and had, undoubtedly, died when she fell. While the death was sudden it was not unexpected. For some time past Miss Gurley and her family have known that the heart affection with which she was troubled was likely at any time to terminate fatally. She was a young lady of many attractive qualities and was endeared to a large circle of friends.

Lee died in his room at 346 Pennsylvania avenue. He was a member of the Wah Chong Company. Lee had been ill, but would take only Chinese remedies. His death caused much concern among his friends, and last night a delegation of Chinamen asked the police to investigate.

Coroner Nevitt issued a certificate of death from natural causes, and the body was removed to an undertaking establishment. It was the intention of friends to place the body in a vault in Congressional cemetery for two years and then remove it to China for interment, but it is stated that some one remarked if placed in the vault the body could not be removed for ten years, so preparations are being made to ship the body to China next week.

Lee was a son of Lee Hin Nine, a merchant in China. Two brothers in this city, Lee Bin Doo and Lee Hung Dee, both of whom conduct small stores, also survive him. The deceased has a wife and child in China. He came to America about twenty-five years ago, and after working her a short time engaged in business. A

year later he returned to China and was married. He remained there two years, and then came here again. He visited his family every year, as his wife refused to come to this country.

As is the custom, Lee's friends assembled his effects, including silk blouses, sandals, colored handkerchiefs, etc., which they say contain evil spirits and should be destroyed.

John Brown, colored, appeared on the scene, however, and upon being informed that the goods were to be destroyed, asked for them, and they were handed over to him. Brown promptly started for a second-hand store for the purpose of disposing of the goods, but a citizen noticing the bundle, informed police headquarters and a detective was soon questioning Brown as to his possession of the articles. The man explained satisfactorily and was allowed to depart.
