Mythology, Classical, in art; Mythology, Greek
ELISABETH PALMER PEABODY. A woman of remarkable accumulations
of learning, and as remarkable a breadth of sympathy. She
was a teacher,—an enthusiastic advocate of the Kindergarten,
and opened at No. 13 West St., Boston, a foreign Circulating
Library, which soon became a sort of Literary Exchange of the
greatest use to New England. Her own great powers did not
accomplish all they ought, because it was impossible for her to
apply them systematically.
FREDERICK HENRY HEDGE. The well-known German and ecclesiastical
scholar, whose remarkable scholarship and character have not
yet received the commemoration they deserve. He was at this
time settled over the church in Bangor, Maine.
JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE. Already the pastor of the Church of the
Disciples, in Boston, and preaching at Amory Hall. The outline
of his lovely and useful life is preserved in a memoir by the
Rev. E. E. Hale, D.D.

MRS. FARRAR, born Rotch, the wife of the Harvard Professor of
Physical Science and Mathematics.

be honored through all time as the father of Colonel Robert G.
Shaw, who was buried where he fell, with the negroes whom he
died to free.
MRS. SARAH B. SHAW, his wife.
ANN WILBY CLARKE, wife of a Boston bank-officer and the oldest
member of an English family of Wilbys, nearly every member of
which was at some time a teacher in Boston or its neighborhood.
MRS. JONATHAN RUSSELL of Milton, widow of the U. S. Minister
to Sweden (1814-1818), residing on the old Governor Hutchinson
place at Milton, and
MISS IDA RUSSELL, her daughter.
WILLIAM WHITE. The brother of the first wife of James Russell
Lowell, who was killed by a fall from the bluff at Milwaukee in
1856.
WILLIAM W. STORY. Sculptor, poet, and lawyer, and well known as
a contributor to Blackwood. Still living.
CAROLINE STURGIS, daughter of William Sturgis of
Boston,—married later to Mr. Tappan,—a most gifted and charming
creature.

Washington.
