                  Death of Mrs. F.J. Taliaferro

The sad death of Mrs. Frances Johnston Taliaferro, wife of the late Major 
Warner T. Taliaferro and daughter of the late William J. Hardy, was 
announced yesterday morning and caused a pang of grief to enter the hearts 
of her large circles of friends in this city.  Mrs. Taliaferro had been 
suffering from a serious illness for many days and her death was not 
unexpected.  She was a native of this city, a lady of the highest 
attainments, took a prominent part in all church affairs, and was, up to the 
time of her illness, organist of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, in which 
position she made the music of the church a special object during the latter 
portion of her life. She was one of the original members of the famous St. 
Cecilia Society, and her efforts in its behalf, when it was in infancy, did 
much to elevate the organization to the standard to which it has attained.  
The deceased lady leaves three children, who will deeply feel and mourn her 
loss.  To the family of the deceased THE VIRGINIAN extends its most 
heartfelt sympathy.  The funeral services which will take place from St. 
Luke's Episcopal Church this afternoon at 6 o'clock will be conducted by the 
Rev. Dr. Lloyd, pastor of the church, assisted by Rev. Dr. O.S. Barten, 
pastor of Christ Episcopal Church, and Rev. B.D. Tucker, pastor of St. 
Paul's Episcopal Church.
