It was pointed out that with the ex

actual direction of tho church work
was relinquished to a great degree by-
Mrs. Eddy soma years before her death,

7 MRS. BODY SEEN IN DEATH
Dr. George I* West, who was called
to the Eddy home and who filled out
tho death certificate, made the follow
ing statement tonight:
"I was called to the home of Mrs.
Eddy early this morning and arrived
about 4:30. I was met at the door, by
Calvin A. Frye and others of the house
hold, who directed mo to a bedchamber
on the second floor. Here I met Mrs.
Sargent.
"I found the body of a woman about
90 years of age lying on the bed, her
hands crossed over her breast. Tho
face was somewhat wasted, but kindly
and in repose. I talked with Mr.
Frye, who said: 'Mrs. Eddy had been in
error about a week and passed away
very quietly.'
"Mr. Frye described tho -symptoms
and spoke of an inflammation of the
cHest which led me to the conclusion
that pneumonia had been the contrib
utory cause of death."
Alfred I* Farlow of the publication
committee of the Christian Scientist,
church and other leaders In the Mother
church declined tonight to make
statements .concerning the last hours j
of Mrs. Eddy beyond tho ono made
public in the course of the day.
Miss Sybil Wilbur, the latest of Mrs.
Eddy's biographers, whose "Life"
was approved by the leader and the
church authorities, says that no mys
tery today surrounds Mrs. Eddf's life
history. "Her birth, her ancestry for
200 years, her education, her social
development, her Individual service to
the world, have been scrutinized with
the strong searchlight of both love
and criticism."
SKETCH OF WOMAN'S LIFE
Other less friendly commentators on
Mrs. Eddy's work and life have criti
cised her moro or less severely and
some haifo denounced her as an im
postor.
Her life began among the granite
foothills of New Hampshire. Her
father, Mark Baker, was a farmer of
How and a descendant of revolution
ary and colonial heroes, while her
nrother was of Scottish ancestry. She
■was the youngest of three daughters
and three sons.
She was of delicate health from her
birth, and in her childhood Is said to
have perplexed her father by sage
sayings and doings. Her education in
little schools and later at Pembroke
academy was supplemented by what
she gathered from discussion of re
ligious matters at the family fireside
when several leading churchmen gath
ered to talk over church matters with
her father.
In the early '40s George Washington
Glover, formerly of Concord, became
associated with Samuel ■■ Baker, the
third son, and as a result Mary Baker
and he were married about Christmas
in 1846 at Tilton, N. H. The Glovers
went to the south, where Mrs. Eddy
saw slavery in its worst form, and
there the June after her marriage she
was left a widow. Returning to New
Hampshire, she gave birth to her son,
George Washington Glover, in Sep
tember.
Mary Baker Glover spent the next
few years with her sister Abigail and
other relatives In New Hampshire, and
began literary work with several arti
cles on her observations of slavery in
the south. She also taught school.
About 1850 a wave of spiritualism
swept over New England, which drew
her attention to some extent.
After nine years of widowhood Mrs.
Eddy married Dr. Daniel Patterson,
a New Hampshire dentist. This mar
riage was not happy. However, the
relationship was continued for twenty
years, when it was severed by divorce.
MEETING WITH riUNEAS QUIJIIiY
A notable event of Mrs Eddy's life
was her meeting in 1802 with Phineas
Quinby, a mesmeric healer, at the In
ternational hotel in Portland, Me.
Quinby, who was the son of a black
smith, wae-describcd at the time of his
meeting with Mrs. Eddy as a shrewd
little man of argumentative disposition
and dogged determination. From ac
quaintance with him Mrs. Eddy, be
came imbued with metaphysical ideas
and began a career In that direction
which made her ono of the most famous
of tho world's mental healers. i
Mrs.. Eddy, then Mrs. Patterson,
dwelt 'long under the Influence of
Quinby's mesmeric belief, and it came
to haVe a great though not supremo
weight on her subsequent teachings.
Later she denounced Quinby's methods,
and said:
"I • discovered the science of mind
reading,-and that was enough."
After spending two years In Portland
Mrs. Patterson rejoined her husband
in Lynn, where she lived five years,
continuing her study of metaphysics.
While there she suffered . a fall on the
ice which the doctor said was severe,
but from which she recovered. It Is
said, in one night. It was this Incident
that led directly to the promulgation of
her discovery of Christian Science.
MECCA FOR ALL SCIENTISTS ,'
v rhe little house on Broad street ' in
Lynn, where she lived at this time, is
a mecca of Christian Science pilgrims
from ail over the world today. It was
in 1875, nine years after the discovery,
that the first edition of "Science and
Health" was ' published. The closing
chapters of the manuscript were writ
ten in an upper room of the Broad
street house. ■."."."/
In 1877, four years after her separa
tion from Mr. Patterson, the founder
•of the new belief was married to Asa
Gilbert Eddy. In the interval she had
Veen admitted into the Congregational
denomination and baptized.
Mrs. Eddy established the . Massa
chusetts Metaphysical college in, Bos-
First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Los Angeles,
and (Below) Brookline Home in Which Mrs. Eddy Died

ton in 1881. Her teachings were taken
up and accepted at first by a few fol
lowers, and as years passed a larger
and larger number, until the denom
ination today extends to many lands
anil numbers millions of adherents.
Mrs. Eddy began preaching in 1878
and organized the First Church of
Christian Science in Boston in 1879.
Subsequently a large edifice was erect- '
ed In this city, of which she was made
pastor emeritus. , Her writings at this
time became very voluminous and she
contributed largely to the Christian
Science Journal, tha Christian Science
Sentinel and L>u Herold dv Christian j
Sclenco.
Mrs. Eddy took up her residence in I
Concord In 1889 and It was at her homo
at Pleasant View that she watched the
great growth of her denomination and
received many enthusiastic followers.
Finally the number of visitors became
so large that sho was forced to ask
them to cease their calls. Neverthe
less, large delegations continued to go
up the Merrlmac river and in June,
1903, 10,000 Christian Scientists visited
Concord and heard a few words from
their leader. .
LATER LIFE IS COSCORD
In the last few years of Mrs. Eddy's
life in Concord there was a newspaper
controversy over tier identity and for
several days the city was filled with
reporters drawn there on the charge
that another person was . impersonat
ing her. Mrs. Eddy was obliged to
exhibit herself to a Jury of newspaper
men.
Mrs. Eddy took up her residence at
Chestnut hill, Newton, in a large stone
house in 1908, and there her last days
were passed. For the past three years
she lived a quiet, peaceful life, much
of it in seeming monotony, with her
friends, was consumed mostly in con
stant study. From a window at Chest
nuts hill could be teen the white dome
of the Christian Science temple, plant
ed close beside the little mother church
which she founded thirty years before.
Mrs. Eddy's literary efforts were al
most wholly In prose, but her poems
have been set to music as hymns and
are sung at all Science meetings. The
most noteworthy cf these begins:
"Shepherd,, show me how to go
O'er the hillside steep.
How to gather, how to sow,
How to feed thy sheep."
WOMAN'S REMARKABLE RISE
TO LEADERSHIP IN CHURCH
Disputes Over Enormous Holdings
Cloud Closing Years
CONCORD, N. H., Dec. 4.—The farm
on which Mrs. Eddy was born, July 16,
1821, in the neighboring town of Bow,
is a short distance from the Concord
line, so that many of . her childhood'
days were spent in this city, and she
occasionally attended the Old North
Congregational church.; j The house
in which she was born was burned
in April. 1910.
Mrs. Eddy first took pp her resi
dence In this city in 1889. living on
North State street until 1892, when she
purchased tho estato subsequently
known as Pleasant View, which is on
an eminence between the city proper
and St. Paul school. She "made many
changes and Improvements on her
property, and lived there until her'de
parture to live in the beautiful resi
dence prepared for her at Chestnut
Hill, a Boston suburb.
In the first years of her residence In
Concord Mrs. Eddy received a few
students in Christian Science, most of
whom afterward became leaders in the
church. She purchased the property
at North State and School streets,
near'the state house, in 1897, and re
modeled the house there for what she
called a "Christian Science Kinder
garten for Teaching the New Tongue
of the Gospel." • J.": .-,'-;
: i FIRST OF COSTLY CHURCHES '.'■
A few years later the development
of this property upon ambitious linos
began, and on July 17, 1904, one of
the finest church edifices in the . state
was dedicated under the title, "The
First Church of Christ, Scientist, in
Concord, N. H." The structure Is said
to have cost upward .of $200,000. ■Of
this Mrs. Eddy gave one-half and the
remainder was contributed by her fol
lowers., V
- While she lived at Pleasant View
it was: Mrs. Eddy's custom to take a
daily drive, accompanied by Calvin A.
Frye; her secretary, along ■ certain . fa
vorite streets In the city and suburbs.
Thus she became much interested In
good roads and' co-operated with ,the
city In building several miles of con
crete and macadam streets until prac
tically her ontire daily drive was over
such roads.
Mrs. Eddy was- first to respond-to
Red Cross and other appeals for aid,
and made frequent gifts to local and
state charities and educational inter
ests and for public purposes.
Toward the last part of her residence
at Pleasant View | Mrs. toddy ■ entirely
withdrew from public,. appearances
nave for her dally drives. | This gave
' rise to many rumors as to her condi
tion and surroundings, and , several
times reports of her death gained cir
culation. •;_.
DISPUTE ovkii HER ritOPEItTY
Partly as » result of an investiga
tion to disprove rumors suit was
brought on. March I. 190", In.the name
of Mrs. Eddy by "her next friends,'.'

S. tt, whom she had not seen for a
number of years; his daughter, Mary
Baker Glover, and George W. Baker,
a nephew of Mrs. Eddy, against Cal
vin A. Frye and nine others who were
alleged to possess a control over Mrs.
Eddy and her property, of which they
were making undue use.
Subsequently E. J. Foster, an adopt
ed son of Mrs. Eddy, and Frederick
W. Baker, another relative, Joined the
"next friends." „
William E. Chandler, former secre-'
tary of the navy, was their principal
counsel, while Gen. Frank S. Streeter
of this city led the defense.
The case came first under the Juris
diction of Judge R. A. Chamberlain of
the ; superior court and was by him
referred to three masters—Judge Al
drlch of the federal court, Dr. George
F. Jolly of Boston and former Con
gressman H.. W. Parks of Claremont.
After an extended hearing they
called upon and interviewed Mrs. Eddy
at Pleasant View. Shortly afterward,
on August 21, 1907, counsel for the
"next friends" announced the with
drawal of the suit.
FORMS $1,000,000 TRUST
About the time these proceedings
began Mrs. Eddy created a trust of
approximately $1,000,000 which was not
far from the amount of the estate,
and named her distant relative, Henry
M. Baker of Bow, Archibald McLellan
of Boston and Josiah E. Fernald, a
Concord banker,- as trustees. This
trust is still in force.
Prior to this arrangement Mrs. Eddy
had created a trust of $150,000 for the
benefit of children of her son, George
W. Glover. This also exists.
Some months after the withdrawal
of the "next friends" suit it was an
nounced that satisfactory financial ar
rangements had been made by Mrs.
Eddy and her trustees with her son
and foster son, and last summer Mrs.
Eddy was. visited at Brookline by her
grandsons, George W. Glover and An
drew J. Glover.
Gen. Frank S. Streeter, who repre
sented Mrs. Eddy in the suit and had a
close personal acquaintance with the
Science leader, gave out the following
statement upon learning of Mrs. Eddy's
death: ' /
"I desire to express my profound ad
miration for Mrs. ' Eddy as a woman
and as the leader of a religious move-:
ment which has deeply Impressed it
self on the world. My professional
and friendly relations with her cov
ered many years and were especially
Intimate from February to September,
1907, when she. was compelled to sub
mit to a most vexatious and harassing
litigation, the purpose of which was
not only to" establish her mental un
soundness, but to overturn the relig
ious faith of which she was the ac
knowledged founder and revered head.
"During those trying months she in
spired me with the highest regard for
her character and personality., Pro
fessional loyalty was, of course, to be
expected, but her entire conduct and
bearing during the - most troubled
months of her life inspired myself and
others near her with the highest per
sonal loyalty and affection." . , - - .
MRS. STETSON.REFRAINS -
FROM COMMENT ON DEATH
Chairman Cox Discusses Teach-
ings of Late Leader
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—No mention of
Mrs. Eddy's death was made here this
morning at any of the Christian science
churches, because no word of it ■ had
been received. . ■ ■ " . J \,
Mrs. Augusta Stetson, former first
reader, recently excommunicated by
the First church here after her teach
er's license had been withdrawn by the
Mother church, when informed of Mrs.
Eddy's death begged to be . excused
from granting any interview "at this
momentous hour."
Eugene R. Cox, chairman of the pub
lication committee of the church for
New York, gave out the following
statement for all Christian, Science
churches In the state:
"Mrs. Eddy's whole teaching has been
that of individual responsibility; the
responsibility "i deeds more than ,of
words; the responsibility of right
thinking, which means righteousness;
the responsibility of doing right; and,
the fact that to do this we must 'have
that mind In us which was also in
Christ Jesus."
"In proportion as Christian Scientists
assume these responsibilities now they
honor Mrs. Eddy. All her writings
have directed us to follow principle, not
personality, and as this is done the
cause so wonderfully established by her
will continue to grow until it draws all
manner of men to it."
More informally, but with permission
to publish, Mr« Cox discussed the effect
that Mrs. Eddy's death will have on the
future of the church.
"Mrs. Eddy," he said, ♦"never
preached that there is no material
death, although she has predicted the
ultimate conquest of death in times to
come, and there need be no difficulty In
the. minds of Christian Scientists of
reconciling the physical fact of her
death with their disbelief in death it
self.
"In her book, 'The Unity of Good,"
Mrs. Eddy has written: 'This genera
tion seems too material for any strong
demonstration over death, and hence
cannot bring out the infinite reality
«f life, namely, there is no death.'
"The Church of Christ. Scientist,
will run on smoothly of its own mo
mentum. Mrs. Eddy gave it such an
impulse and placed it on such an en
during basis that it can adequately
guide itself. , . .
NO THOUGHT^ OF SUCCESSOR
"There can be no question of who Is
to succeed Mrs. Eddy. She can have
no successor. Christian Scientists the
world over universally regard her as
the discoverer and founder of the re
ligion she taught, and there cannot be
two founders of a religion.
- "Since June 3, 1901, when tho letter
read today by Judge Smith in the
mother church, was first read to a
Christian Scientist congregation, Mrs.
Eddy,has occupied the position of pas
tor emeritus of the mother church, a
position which draws no salary."
| Prominent members of tho First
church here had no estimate of Mrs.
Eddy's fortune, but they thought It
possible the bulk of It might go to tho
mother church. Her incomo, they said,
had been wholly from the royalties of
her own writings. The income of the
church, they said, was drawn from the
receipts of the official church publi
cations. • . .
Mr. Cox estimated there were 1200
Christian Science churches and so
cieties in the country. Mrs. Stetson
was one of the most influential mem
bers of the church here, a close per
sonal friend of Mrs. Eddy, and was
often spoken of as her possible suc
cessor. >
- A stream of messages and callers
went into the handsome Stetson home,
next door to the First church, today,
but to all not in her confidence her
maid brought word that Mrs. Stetson
was "excessively occupied."
ADOPTED SON HEARS NEWS
OF DEATH OF MRS. EDDY
Physician Predicts Work of the
Church Will Not Cease
■WATERBURY, Vt., Dec. 4.—Dr. E.
J. Foster Eddy, adopted son of Mrs.
Eddy, received the first word of , her
death from the Associated Press to
night. He expressed himself as wholly
unprepared for the news, and said:
'"I was not only not expecting Mrs.
Eddy to pass away, but I was look
ing for further demonstration^ of her
teachings. I do not wish to criticise,
but It seems to me that there was a
lack of mental or spiritual | support
Which those without her knowledge of
Christian .Science cannot understand.
"Mrs, Eddy -was the most wonder
ful and lovable woman the world has
ever known, and I believe her teach
ings, rightly understood and demon
strated, will benefit mankind more than
any others ever known. "'.
"The death of'the leader may be a
stumbling block , to i some | members of
the church but the ranks are so strong
ly fortified that the work will be car
ried on without disintegration. This Is
the severest blow that Christian • Sci
ence lias received." . • •,• .
Mr. Eddy was In Boston last. Sunday
attending services at j the Christian
Science church and visited : a number
of friends, but was.not informed that
Mrs. Eddy was not in hoc, usual

MRS. EDDY'S DEATH
CAUSES SURPRISE
Local Congregations Hear of
Leader's Passing Away at
Evening Service
INFLUENCE OF LIFE REMAINS
Christian Scientists Declare
There Will Be No Per
sonal Successor
The first news of Mrs. Mary Baker
O. Eddy's death was received by her
followers in Los Angeles yesterday
through a telegram received by Ed
ward W. Dickey, a member of the j
Christian Science board on publica
tion for Southern California, from Al
fred Farlow,. head of the Christian
Science Publishing company of the 1
mother church in Boston.'
The telegram read: "Our leader
passed away last night at quarter be
fore 11 o'clock, Notice was read at
mother church this morning. Funeral j
services private. Please notify all i
churches In your state."
The news reached Los Angeles too
late to be read during the morning
services In the various Christian Sci- -.
ence churches, but was conveyed to
the congregations at the beginning of j
the evening services.
Miss Mauri Campbell, a Christian
Science practitioner living In Pasadena,
who knew Mrs. Eddy personally, and j
had last seen her at her home near j
Boston, said last night on learning of
the passing away of the noted leader
that she would have no need of a per- I
sonal successor, but would be succeed
ed by her writings.
"I last saw Mrs. Eddy two years
ago," said Miss Campbell. "1 first met
her In 1890. To know her was to love,
her. When I saw her last she was the
picture of perfect health and happiness.
Her intellect was as brilliant as ever."
SO PERSONAL SUCCESSOR
"Mrs. Eddy will be succeeded by her
books and will have no personal-suc
cessor," said Mr. Dickey, C. S. 8., last
night.
"Christian Science is founded upon
one Infinite, divine mind or God, and
not upon human personality," he said.
"Its teachings are infinite and as old
as time itself. Mrs. Eddy but discov
ered the Christ truth and gave it to the
world in her textbook, 'Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures.'
Mrs. Eddy's passing away will in no
wise affect the practice or teaching of
the religion of which she was the 1
founder.
"The textbook Is a complete -and com
prehensive yet simple presentation ot
the truth. Mrs. Eddy therefore will be
succeeded by her writings and will
have no personal successor.
"The government of the church has
been in the hands of the Christian Sci
ence board of directors for a number of
years, and the bylaws of the church
contain ample provisions for the fur
thering of the movement. Christian
Scientists will feel keenly Mrs. Eddy's
passing because she was always a lov
ing friend and wise counselor and un
swervingly unselfish In working for the
good of all mankind.
"Since discovering Christian Science
she has given her life to the good of
others, and even in the midst of per
secution and ridicule has stood as firm
as a rock."
MR. MATTOXS STATEMENT
Willard S. Mattox of Boston, Mass.,
a prominent member of the Mother
church, gave out the following state
ment yesterday regarding Mrs. Eddy's
death:
"The first instinctive sense of loss Is
keenly felt by Christian Scientists, but
while our natural impulse is to mourn
the departure of a loved friend and
true conuselor, we turn for comfort and
consolation to the Scriptures and to
the teachings of that dear leader who
has patiently striven to turn the
thought of the world from the mutable
things of matter to the imperishable
