From the Herald and Torch Light, Hagerstown, MD, Dec. 15, 1892:
Miss Katharine McComas, youngest daughter of Judge Louis E. McComas, died at "Springfield", near Williamsport, the home of her grandfather, Chas. W. Humrichhouse, Esq., at half-past four o'clock Saturday morning, after an acute illness of two weeks with bronchial-pneumonia, aged thirteen years. She had been in very delicate health all her life.
"Kitty", by which name she was called by those most intimate with her, was an exceedingly bright and intelligent child. For one of her tender years she possessed a marvelous fund of general information. Her command of the English language and the child's depth of thought often called forth expressions of wonder from those who heard her. She wrote poetry with a fluency, grace and sweetness, which reflected the quietness and tenderness of the child's nature and thought. They were often lines showing a touch of sadness and pathos which greatly affected the reader, particularly if they were acquainted with the pain and suffering which she endured during her short life.
The remains were brought to this city on Monday and taken to her home on West Washington street.
The funeral services will be held on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the house. Interment in Rose Hill Cemetery. Telegrams of condolence to the family have been received from friends in all parts of the country, and the people of this community extend to the distressed family their profound and sincere sympathies.
