Mrs. Thomas Barlow, at her house, at the NE corner of what is now Stockton Ave

OBIT: After only a few day's illness with pneumonia, Mrs. Mary Stockton
Schoonmaker died last Sunday evening at the home of her daughter Mrs. Frederick
Hamlin Andrews, in Plainfield, NJ. She passed away like one falling asleep and
had retained her faculties to the last. Her illness began Wednesday, but up to
that time she had been in her usually happy mood. Far advanced in years, but
young in spirit, deeply interested in all that went on about her, she was an
inspiration to all with whom she came in contact. Mrs. Schoonmaker was the
daughter of Rev. Joseph Stockton, one of the Early Presbyterian ministers west
of the Allegheny mountains. She was the widow of James Schoonmaker, and both
were of Pittsburgh. She was born here August 7th, 1818, and lived here until
she removed to Plainfield to make her home with her daughter. Besides Mrs.
Andrews, she leaves 4 sons, Col. James M. Schoonmaker, of Pittsburgh, George B,
Schoonamker of NY, Frederick W. Schoonmaker of Montclair, and S.L. Schoonmaker
of NY and 2 daughters, Mrs. Wm. P. Wood of Pittsburgh, and Mrs. James J. Brown
of Ashville, NC. She leaves also a sister, Mrs Thomas Updike, of Pittsburgh.
Mrs. Schoonmaker was one of the few who remained who had an acquaintance with
Gen. Lafayette, the French patriot, who was of so much service to our country
in the Revolution. On a trip to this country in after years, he passed through
Pittsburgh and stopped at the home of her aunt, where she met him. One of Mrs.
Schoonmaker's treasured keepsakes was a personal letter from Pres. Lincoln to
her mother in 1864, thanking her for her gift of 100 pairs of stockings knitted
by herself for the Union soldiers. The letter is framed and contains a
photograph of her mother and Pres. Lincoln. As recently as last October, Mrs.
Schoonmaker came to Pittsburgh to attend the sesqui-centennial and was one of
the few old natives of the city to whom special honors were accorded. She made
the trip in Col. Schoonmaker's private car. The body was brought to Pittsburgh
for interment and was laid to rest in the Alleghaney Cemetery Wednesday
afternoon.
