Funeral of Mrs. Almy -- Widow of the Admiral Will Be Buried Beside Husband's Grave
The funeral of Mrs. Alida Gardner Almy, widow of Rear Admiral Almy, who died at the family home, 1019 Vermont Avenue Northwest, early yesterday morning, will be held from her late home at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, Rev. Edward H. Ingle of the Church of the Epiphany officiating. The interment will be in Congressional Cemetery, beside the grave of her husband.
Mrs. Almy was born in this city at the family home on New Jersey Avenue, Capitol Hill, December 14,
seventy-eight years ago. Her father was Col. C.K. Gardner, U.S.A., and her mother was Eliza McLain, who came from the New York family of that name. Mrs. Almy was married to the admiral in New York City, and spent the first years of her wedded life on Capitol Hill. For the past thirty-three years or more she made her home in the house on Vermont Avenue, which was built by the admiral, and where he died May 16, 1895.
Mrs. Almy had enjoyed good health up to about April 27, when her fatal illness began. She leaves one son, Augustus G. Almy, who lives at Coronado Beach, Cal., and two daughters -- Mrs. Annie Haines of this city, widow of Maj. John T. Haines, U.SA., who died at Fort Sam Houston, Tex. about two weeks ago, and Mrs. Sadie Price of New York City, wife of H. Brooks Price, an architect.
Mrs. Almy was well known among the old families of Washington as a woman of strong personal qualities and firm friendships. She had always been interested in the work of the Episcopal Church, being connected in early life with Trinity Church, on Capitol Hill, and later with the Church of the Epiphany.
