The Washington Post
Dated: June 8, 1891Death Record of A Day - End of the
Earthly Career of Four Respected Washingtonians
This morning The Post has to record the death of four
old citizens of the District, the oldest being Mrs.
Elizabeth S. CUMBERLAND, who died at the
advanced age of seventy-nine years. She was born in Washington in
1813, and has lived here all her life, for the last twenty years or
more at 236 Thirteen-and-a-half street southwest. Wednesday last she
was taken ill with heart trouble, and suffered greatly until Saturday
morning at 6 o'clock, when she died, surrounded by a large number of
her family. Mrs. CUMBERLAND was the mother of eleven children,
five of whom are still living: Mrs. William D. SERRIN,
Mrs. Frank CODRICK, Mrs. Oscar BILLASKI, George T.
CUMBERLAND, and Charles J. CUMBERLAND. There are forty
six grandchildren and twenty-five great grandchildren. She was greatly
beloved by all who knew her, and was a devout member of St. Dominick's
Church, where the funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock.
The interment will be at Mount Olivet Cemetery.
The next oldest was Rev. Dr. Moses L. SCUDDER,
he being seventy-seven years old. Few ministers were better known than
Dr. SCUDDER. He came to Washington from New York, and was
placed on the supernumerary list, but often filled the pulpits of sick
and absent Methodist ministers. His membership was with Hamline
Church, and when not preaching hat attended every service. For years
he preached in Boston, Brooklyn, and New York, and was regarded as an
exceptionally brilliant man. Until last Wednesday he was in his usual
health, but on that day he complained of pains around his heart, and
was forced to take his bed. Dr. WINTERS was called in, and at
once realized that the case was a very serious one, and yesterday
morning at 3 o'clock the soul of the good man passed away. He leaves a
wife, a daughter, and two sons. The funeral arrangements will not be
made until one of his sons, who lives in Chicago, reaches this city.
Dr. SCUDDER resided at 1104 Ninth Street Northwest.
Mr. Richard HUNT, who for nearly thirty
years has been a clerk in the Patent Office, died at his home, 1328
Ninth Street northwest, Saturday morning at 6 o'clock. Mr. HUNT
has been suffering from throat trouble since President Harrison's
inauguration. On that day he exposed himself to the weather, and
having some unfinished work in the office he neglected to go home and
put on dry clothes, but went to the office and worked until late. From
that time until his death he suffered greatly, but managed to be at
his post of duty until a few days ago. During the thirty years of
service he only lost three months' time, and was regarded as one of
the most efficient and faithful men in the Department. Mr. HUNT
leaves a wife, four children, one brother, and a large circle of
friends to mourn his death. His brother, Mr. John HUNT, an
employee of the Capitol, is the only living member of what was once a
large family of children. The deceased was sixty-six years old, though
he did not appear to be more than fifty. The funeral will be held from
the house this morning, at 10:30 o'clock, and the interment will be in
Glenwood.
Mr. Thomas McKeen McNEELY, another old
and faithful Department clerk, died at his home, 321 (821?) B street
southeast, Saturday afternoon at 6 o'clock. He had been a sufferer
from heart trouble for eighteen months past, and his death was not
unexpected. For thirteen years he was a clerk in the division of
accounts, Treasury Department, and came to Washington from Wheeling,
W.Va., where he was for a long while connected with the National Bank
of West Virginia as bookkeeper and assistant cashier. He was born at
St. Clairsville, Ohio, where a number of his relatives reside. The
funeral arrangements have not been completed. It will probably be held
from his late residence tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Mr.
McNEELY was a member of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, and
the funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Dr. CHESTER. A
wife and four children survive him. He was in his sixtieth year, and
was a remarkably well-preserved man.
