abored among the wounded of
Antietam, and were successful in saving the lives of hundreds of the
badly wounded. They had not yet cleared the hospitals, when other
battles added to their number, and made new drafts for services, which
were promptly and cheerfully rendered."

Many times the Committee take occasion to mention the valuable services
of the loyal ladies of Baltimore, and the services of Mrs. Streeter are
specially noticed in the third report in connection with the Invalid
Camp Hospital located at the boundary of the city and county of
Baltimore in the vicinity of Northern Avenue.

"The services to this camp, usually performed by ladies, were under the
supervision of Mrs. S. F. Streeter, who visited the grounds daily, on
several occasions several times a day. The Secretary of the Committee
has frequently met Mrs. Streeter on her errand of benevolence, conveying
to the sufferers the delicacies she had prepared. Her active and
faithful services were continued until the breaking up of the camp."

The ladies of Baltimore worked in connection with the Sanitary and
Christian Commissions, both of which organizations take occasion
frequently to acknowledge their services.

Late in 1864, Mrs. Streeter was called to deep affliction. Her
noble-hearted and patriotic husband, who had been as active as herself
in all enterprises for the welfare of the soldiers, and the promotion of
the cause for which the war was undertaken, was suddenly taken from her,
falling a victim to fever contracted in his ministrations to the sick
and wounded of the Army of the Potomac, and the home and city where his
presence had been to her a joy and delight, became, since he was gone
too full of gloom and sorrow to be borne. Mrs. Streeter returned to her
New England home in the hope of finding there some relief from the grief
which overwhelmed her spirit.

Two other ladies of Baltimore, and doubtless many more, deserve especial
mention in this connection, Miss TYSON, and Mrs. BECK. Active and
efficient members of the Ladies' Relief Association of that city, they
were also active and eminently useful in the field and general
hospitals. To the hospital work they seem both to have been called by
Mrs. John Harris, who to her other good qualities added that of
recognizing instinctively, the women who could be made useful in the
work in which she was engaged.

Miss Tyson was with Mrs. Harris at French's Division Hospital, after
Antietam, and sub
