Mrs. Elizabeth Scott-Lord, Sister of Mrs. Har-
rison, and Well Known in Indianapolis.
Washington, Dec. 10.—Mrs. Scott Lord, sister of the wife of President Harrison, died at her residence in this city at 8 o’clock this morning. Although not unexpected, her death was sudden, and at the time only her daughters, Mrs. Dimmock [sic] and Mrs. Parker, and her son-in-law, Lieut. John F. Parker, of the navy, were with her. Mrs. Harrison was with Mrs. Lord until midnight, in company with thier [sic] father, Dr. Scott, and only half an hour before she expired Major and Mrs. Richard Parker had been sitting with Mrs. Lord, and when they left she was in an apparent painless sleep. It has been known for several days that she could not recover.
Mrs. Elizabeth S. Lord was born and passed her early days at Oxford, O., where her father, Rev. Dr. John W. Scott, was a professor in Miami University. She was married young, her husband being Russell F. Lord, of Hornsdale, [sic] Pa., who was for many years treasurer of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Co. Three children were born to them, the wife of Lieut. John F. Parker, U.S.N., Mrs. Mary Dimmock, now a widow and Scott Lord, who died some years ago. Since the death of her husband, which occurred about eight years ago, Mrs. Lord has made her home with her father at Hanover, Ind., Princeton, N. J., and Washington, D. C. The illness which resulted in her death began at Nantucket last summer in the form of a malarial fever. Two weeks ago she recovered sufficiently to be removed to Washington, but has since grown steadily worse. During the past two weeks Mrs. Harrison, her father and her daughters have been constant attendants at her bedside.
Mrs. Lord was well known in Indianapolis, having frequently visited here in the past, and having spent the last winter entire with the President’s family here. She was a woman of high intelligence and refinement, sweet-tempered and loveable in a rare degree.
