Excerpt from Eight Journeys Abroad

The writer of the accompanying letters, Mary D. Rosen garten, was born in 1846 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, daughter of James and Laura Clifford Richardson. In 1857, Mr. And Mrs. Richardson removed to St. Louis, Missouri, and it was in that city their daughter received her early education, grad nating from the high school at the head of her class, in 1862.

After her graduation in St. Louis she entered the home of President Sanborn of Dartmouth College at Hanover, New Hampshire, and under his Supervision studied English literature.

Later, in 1863, she entered a school in Brooklyn, N. Y., on Brooklyn Heights, and applied herself to the study of vocal and instrumental music.

The following years she studied vocal and instrumental music and became a most accomplished singer, having a mezzo soprano voice.

Her intense desire for culture induced unceasing efforts in all branches. Her study of music, and French, Italian and English literature never wavered, even during her long years of married life and motherhood. Her appreciation of the artistic and beautiful was a strongly marked characteristic. Her kindness of heart, generous disposition and quiet charity made her beloved by the many who knew her.
