Woman, 85, to Miss I naugural For First Time in 64 Years Special Dispatch to The Star. LEONARDTOWN, Md, January 16.—For the first time in 64 years Mrs. Jenny Dear Brenner will miss & presidential inaugural celebration in a common interest in the man on | the stand.

If the little 85-year-old, white- haired lady could make the trip, she would witness her seventeenth con- secutive inaugration ceremony. But doctors have decreed that she must miss the first celebration she will have failed to attend since President Grant took the oath for his second term, in 1873. Saw First at Age of 20. Mrs. Brenner was only 20 when her two brothers escorted her to Washington from their Virginia coun- try home for the grand affair. She still recalls the awe of that visit, her first to the Nation’s Capital. She re- members the seemingly endless search for a parking place—to leave their horses. And she recollects the seats near the stand on the Capitol, where | Grant was sworn into office. The Civil War had only ended eight years before. The city was teeming with soldiers and veterans, both Unionists and Confederates, but in- Most military of them all was Gar- fleld’s celebration, when troops of cavalry rode over Capitol Hill, even’ pranced up and down the building's steps. Lived in D. C. Nearly 50 Years. The inclement weather at Taft's in- auguration makes that ceelbration still elear in Mrs. Brenner'’s mind. She recalls driving sleet and snow that swept through the city as the twenty-seventh President took the oath of office. This, of all the inaugu- rations, was “‘the most uncomfortable,” she says. The elderly lady lived with her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. Mrs. Charles Myers. For nearly 50 years, beginning shortly after she saw Grant's inaugural ceremony, she re- sided in Washington, where she moved { from her family home in Loudoun County, Va., after her marriage.
