General Henry B. Carrington, of Hyde Park, Mass., who was intimately acquainted with Mrs. Sibylla Crane as the wife and afterward the widow of his beloved classmate, the Rev. Oliver Crane, D.D., pays the following tribute to her memory:—

"I did not know her personally until shortly before their marriage, in the consummation of which my wife and myself greatly rejoiced. His literary and poetical tastes found in her congenial attributes the complement to his most ardent wishes. Living so near my home, they were like brother and sister to me. In his last illness the intimacy became more constant, until, as his last request, I promised to give to her the affection and care of a true brother as long as she should survive his departure. And then, in the examination of the literary and class material left by him, I shared with her the care and disposition of the same. . . . Those years of intimate acquaintance, thus ripened into years of a practical brotherhood, were gilded with ever-growing appreciation of her noble qualities as wife, daughter, and friend. Her dignity and grace as a woman and her refinement in tastes were marked characteristics that any stranger would honor. Her tender sympathies and liberal charities abounded wherever invoked by the sick or the needy, and the serenity and poise of her character harmonized with attributes which distinguished her from almost any other of her sex."

LIZABETH WILLIAMS MITCHELL, of Boston, Mass., real estate agent, is a native of Newport, Monmouthshire, England. Born February 7, 1874, daughter of William and Susan (Allen) Williams, she came to this country in 1885, her parents, with five boys and two girls, leaving Liverpool on April 22 by the "Grand Republic" of the White Star Line and arriving in New York, May 5. The family went to Salem, N.H., where the children's grandfather, Henry Buck, who had immigrated some years previously, received them. Their mother was born in England, December 10, 1848, and their father, July 8, 1847. They were married September 21, 1869. The father was a farmer, and still follows that calling in Salem, N.H. In religion both parents are Methodists. One boy and two girls were born to them in Salem, N.H., making ten children hi all—namely, Thomas, Alfred, Elizabeth (the subject of this sketch), John, Sarah Jane, William Henry, George, Susan, Hikla May, and Harold Allen.

Mrs. Mitchell began to attend the common schools in Newport, England, when she was about five years old, and continued her studies in the Salem schools until she was fourteen. At the age of twenty she came to Boston, and took the full course at Comer's Business College, where she was graduated November 30, 1897. On December 2 she advertised in the Boston Herald for a position, and thereby obtained employment the next day with the E. J. Hammond Lumber Company in the Exchange Building. She left that place after three months to take a position with L. P. Hollander & Co., dry goods merchants of Boston, but gave this up shortly to become private .secretary of Miss E. P. Sohier, the secretary of the Free Public Library Commission. Retaining this position, at the same time she accepted the office of agent for the Massachusetts Volunteer Aid Association, in which Miss Sohier was an active worker. As agent, besides attending to an unusually large correspondence, she had to investigate every case for relief called to the attention of the Association, visiting the dwellings of the objects of the relief, ascertaining what was needed, and, when the case was a worthy one, supplying the same, such as fuel, clothing, food, and lodging. In the performance of her duties she was frequently obliged to travel both in and out of the State. Yet, busy as her secretaryship and agency made her, she was able to add to her occupations that of collector for the Associated Charities in their admirable work of promoting, by their home savings effort, the habit of saving among the poor.
