The Wife of the President's Private Sec- retary Passes Peacefully Away. SHE HAD BEEN AN INVALID FOR & NUMBER OF YEARS—HER EARLY GIRLHOOD AND HER HAPPY MARRIED LIFE—ORIEF OF HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER—SYMPATHY FROM ALL SIDES. Mrs. Mary Frances Halford, wife of Mr. E. W. Halford, the President's private secretary, died this morning in the family apartments at the Elsmere. When the end came Mr. Halford and his daughter, Miss Jannette Halford, were at the bedside of the devoted wife and mother, and it was upon these faces that she loved so well in life that her dying glances rested. Her death was not unexpected, nor would it have been had it occurred almost at any period dur- ing the last five years. AM INVALID FOR FIVE TEARS. symptoms as far back as 1886, but she had been sufferer from asth- matic troubles for about seventeen years, and for the last three years she has been scarcely ever well. For the past year she has been almost entirely an invalid and almost at any time death seemed very close. She has for the Past five years always spent the winter down South ‘and seemed generally to derive much benefit from the more genial climate. During all this long period of suffering her daughter, Miss Janette, has been her almost constant companion and untiring attendant. She took her mother down south early in the year, and last two months have been sad ones as neither the invalid nor her daughter could scarcely hope to get back here again before the final summons would come. HEB LAST RALLY. Several weeks ago Mr. Halford was tele- graphed for and after his arrival his wife, although at the point of death at the time, again revived slightly, so that a week ago she was Drought back here again’ For several days afterward her condition waa no worse than usual until Monday night, when a more serious change could be seen. All day yester- day death was imminent, but it was not until 7:40 o'clock came this morning that her wearied eyes closed forever upon this earth. Her stricken husband and affectionate young daughter and the nurse were the only ones pistent at the last peaceful moments, which brought rest and quiet after such long Years of suffering. COURAGEOUS TO THE Last. Loving hands did all that could be done, and notwithstanding her suffering the sick woman retained her courage and cheerfulness to the last. She was hopefal and seemed to think she would get better. Late last night it was thought best to tell her that the end was near, and this was done by Mr. Halford and Dr. Sowers. This did not distress her in the least, and she =! told her friends that she was ready to die. Her death was a peaceful ending tos noble and well-lived life. It was thought up to Monday noon that Mr. Halford might be one of the presidential par ‘and he had his preparations made to leave wi them that evening. Monday noon, howev Dr. Sowers informed him that Mrs. Halford’ condition was so serious that it would be inad- visable for him to leave the city. HER EARLY LIF. Mrs. Halford was born in Wilton, Me., June 26, 1847. She was the youngest daughter of Mr. George W. Armstrong of that town. Her marriage with Mr. Halford took in Indianspolis on the ist of May, ke ere qncred ties, which have been may dimoived by death,’ have been = very happy unior. Halford was a consistent member of the Methodist church and her religious life was well exemplified in her happy, page temperament and entire devo- tion to her home duties. The first blight in their married life began with her illness, but all that tender care and thy could suggest was done for her. With forgetfulness of self and evident determination to get well, to re- lieve husband and daughter of their arduous cares in her |, may be ascribed those short seasons when they, only too glad to be deceived, thought that was again = BUT LITTLE IN SOCIAL LIF HERE. During her residence in this city she has been seen but little in social life, though her strength until the past winter often permitted her to see her friends at her own home and also to go occasionally to visit at the White House. When ehe was able to go only she was happy, bright and so interested in everything foing on that one could scarcely think her to an invalid. Perhaps her greatest privation was the fact that her daughter was also de- Prived of the amusements suitable to her age yy her constant care and presence in the sick room. HER GIRLHOOD DAYS. ‘Mrs. Halford’s girlhood days were spent in Indianapolis and it was there that she met her | ' future husband. |She had always « splendid voice and attained more than a local reputa- tion in consequence. Her parents—Mr. and Mrs. James ng—after leaving their home in Maine settled first in Franklin,Ind., and then in Indianay Their daughter’ was teaching music in a Methodist seminary in the latter city when she formed the acquaintance of Mr. Hi then yy e staff of Mise her parents had to wait three hours in for a train. ‘HER QUIET MARRIAGE. ‘Mr. Halford came to the station to meet the young lady, and the couple, thinking that no time was as good asthe it, went to the residence of a minister were married. At the station the newly married couple were bride going on to to visit its. Six weeks later Mr. Halford claim his wife, much to her from ‘whom she had fair hair, which was unu- sually abundant, which she wore in the simplest INTIMACY WITH THE PRESIDENT'S FAMILY. ‘The family of President Harrison and that many Mrs. Halford and Mrs. were ther and it was always a fosiie youl enemeretc peemibor ones: ever it ten ance of the social functions at the White House.
