Laura E. Richards, Maud Howe, Florence Howe Hall, Julia Ward Howe, 1819-1910, in two volumes, with portraits and other illustrations: volume 1, Chapter 1: Ancestral (search)
n the ten days Benjamin Marion had wound up his affairs, married his betrothed, Judith Baluet, and was on his way to America to seek his fortune. He bought a plantation on Goose Creek, near Charleston, South Carolina, and here he and his Judith lived for many peaceful years in content and prosperity, seeing their children grow up around them. We have not found the date of his death, but Horry gives the principal features of his will as he got them from the family. He calls Judith Marion Louisa, but that is his picturesque way. She may have been Judith Louisa ! Women's names were not of much consequence in those days. After having, in the good old way, bequeathed his soul to God who gave it, and his body to the earth out of which it was taken, he proceeds:-- In the first place, as to debts, thank God, I owe none, and therefore shall give my executors but little trouble on that score. Secondly,--As to the poor, I have always treated them as my brethren. My dear family

from bed to bed, announcing himself as a ghost come to haunt them; or, when the three ladies, Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Brown, and Mrs. Francis (otherwise known as Julia, Louisa, and Annie) were playing with their dolls, to whisper in their ears that they must on no account venture near the attic stairs, as an old man in red was sitting til tie is riven, My spirit may ascend to heaven, To dwell with thee, My God. We cannot resist quoting a stanza from the effusion entitled Father's Birthday :--Louisa brings a cushion rare, Anne Eliza a toothpick bright and fair; And O! accept the gift I bring, It is a daughter's offering. Julia's mind was not destined to rMiss Ward (she was always Miss Ward, even in the nursery!) rebuked them for their frivolity; bade them turn their thoughts to graver matters, and write poetry. Louisa refused point-blank, but little Annie, always anxious to please, went dutifully to work, and produced the following lines:--He feeds the ravens when they call, An

rs, also, were growing up, each exquisitely attractive in her way: they became known as the Three graces of Bond Street. Louisa was like a damask rose, Annie like a dark lily; dark, too, of eyes and hair were Sam and Marion, while Henry was fair and; her girlhood passed to the sound of sighing. Mfy dear, said an intimate friend of the three, speaking of these days, Louisa had her admirers, and Annie had hers; but when the men saw your mother, they just flopped! Among her papers we have fod are full of affectionate cheerfulness. When Jolie Julie is away on a visit, the others send her a composite letter. Louisa threatens to shut her up on her return with nothing to read but her Anglo-Saxon grammar and Beowulf. ( If that does not glls or theatres. The years of mourning over, the Ward sisters took up the pursuits natural to their age and position. Louisa was now eighteen, very beautiful, already showing the rare social gift which distinguished her through life. The two sis

A few years after this, the Association which she did so much to found, held the first Woman's Congress ever given in Italy, at the Palace of Justice in Rome. It was an important and admirably conducted convention. The work for the uplift of the sex is going on steadily and well in Italy to-day. May 12. Sat to Villegas all forenoon. Had a little time on the terrace. Thought I would christen it the Praise God. The flowers seem to me to hold their silent high mass, swinging their own censers of sweet incense. Went to Jack's studio and saw his splendid work. Elliott was at work upon his Triumph of Time, a ceiling decoration for the Boston Public Library. In the afternoon went with my brother-in-law to the cemetery to visit dear Louisa's grave. Jack had cut for me many fine roses from the terrace. We dropped many on this dear resting-place of one much and justly beloved. ... Dear old Majesty of Rome, this is my last writing here. I thank God most earnestly for so much.
