"I regard Mrs. Stranahan as one of the most extraordinary of that galaxy
of women, whom the night of our country's sorrow disclosed, and whose
light will shine forever in the land they have done their part--I dare

We should do gross injustice to this efficient Association, if we

Miss Perkins, the faithful agent in charge of the depot of supplies and

avoid it.

More than one of the Associations of Ladies formed in Baltimore for the
relief of soldiers, of their families, and of refugees from secession,
owes its inception, organization, and successful career to the mind and
energies of Mrs. Streeter. It may truly be said of her that she has
refused no work which her hands could find to accomplish.

Mrs. Streeter was the wife of the
