POE, JOSEPHINE E.   "Mrs. Josephine E. Poe, widow of Judge Neilson Poe, died 
at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning at her residence, 1127 Park Avenue.  Mrs. 
Poe was in the 81st year of her age, and her illness had been of several 
years' duration.  Her maiden name was Josephine Clemm, and she was a daughter 
of William Clemm, of Virginia.  Her sister was the lovely Virginia Clemm, the 
wife of the poet, Edgar Allen Poe, and the Lenore of "The Raven," whose life 
and death at the little cottage at Fordham, N. Y., was one of the most 
romantic and touching incidents of the poet's life.  Mrs. Josephine Poe and 
her sister Virginia married cousins. Their father was Wm. Clemm, who was a 
brother of Jas. S. Clemm, the father of Rev. W. T. D. Clemm, the well-known 
Methodist minister.  Mrs. Josephine Poe was a member of the Protestant 
Episcopal Church.  Six children survive her, of whom Messrs. John Prentiss 
and Charles Poe are among the widest known attorneys of the Baltimore bar."  
Baltimore Sun, 14th.
