Mrs. Julia Evelyn Capen Woodford, wife of Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, ex-minister to Spain, died yesterday morning at the Hotel Margaret, Brooklyn, after a long illness from Bright’s disease, which, however, only lately gave indications of a fatal termination.
Mrs. Woodford was born in Portland, Me. She was the daughter of Gen. Henry Capen, who afterward became junior partner of H.B. Claflin & Co. Her family is one of the oldest in New England. Its founder, Bernard Capen, came to Plymouth in 1634 and settled in Dorchester. General and Mrs. Woodford were married at St. George’s Church, Manhattan, by the Rev. Dr. Tying, October 15, 1857, and she accompanied her husband to all his various political posts. She joined him at Charleston, S.C., when he was governor there, toward the close of the civil war; she was at Albany during his term as lieutenant governor, and in Washington during his term in Congress. The same gracious manner which marked her life here, made the social career of General Woodford during his stay at the Spanish capital so successful. Her weekly receptions at Madrid were reunions of many delightful people. Mrs. Woodford, besides her husband, is survived by their daughter, Miss Susie Curtis Woodford, who is at present quite ill, worn out by her attentions to her mother.
