Mrs. Ladd was a graduate of the old Portland high school and studied music in Oakland. For the last several years she has lived in Portland in the summer and California in the winter.
Surviving are two sons, Dr. William S. Ladd, New York City, and Thornton Ladd of Vancouver; nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Funeral arrangements, being made by J. P. Finley & Son, will be completed when Dr. Ladd arrives from New York.
Mrs. Ladd also was interested in support of the Portland Art Museum, and a permanent memorial to her is the Mary Andrews Ladd collection of Japanese prints, on exhibit there. She also has contributed a collection of etchings, of which she was an authority, to the Minneapolis art museum.
