sitting for a large oil portrait by William Keith, which was completed
after her death in the spring of 1906 and looked down upon the
audience from the chancel of the Unitarian church in San Francisco at
the memorial services for her on Palm Sunday, April 8. It was shipped
to her home in Rochester, N. Y., the day before the earthquake of

after the death of Miss Mary S. Anthony, to whom it had been presented
by the wife of the artist. Miss Anthony was shown seated near an open
