NOTED OLD REVOLUTIONARY HOUSES OF CAPE ANN STILL EXIST 
Concluded from Page Eight 
Mrs. Stevens, who became Mrs. Murray, was a 
woman of uncommon beauty, gifted with a superior 
mind, cultivated and enriched by education, and Just 
the wife the Rev. John Murray would seek to win, since 
they had many tastes in common which are recorded. 
In literary pursuits, Mrs. Stevens was successful, pub- 
lishing in 1798 ‘‘The Gleaner’’ in three volumes, a ro- 
mantic story of ‘‘Margretta’’ and originally published 
in the Massachusetts Magazine. Under the pen name 
of ‘‘Honoria Martesia,’’ she also wrote poetical essays 
for the Boston Weekly Magazine. The fruits of their 
union were a son, who died at birth and a daughter, 
Julia Maria Murray, who married A. L. Bingaman, esq., 
ot Mississippi, the latter dying in the autumn of 1822 
leaving a son, who married a Miss Livingston of New 
York. Mrs. Murray died in the south at Natchez, June 
6, _ 1820, 0, aged sixty-nine years. 
~ Thus in the old mansion lived the ‘gifted woman who 
was to brighten the latter days of this admirable 
founder and advocate of Universalism, who was des- 
cribed as a man of medium stature, intelligent, good- 
iatured and benevolent, easy in address and the gentle- 
man in manner. 
As a preacher, he excelled in power, ease and grace, 
being highly gifted with facility and felicity of diction, 
his impressive personality and sincere belief in his new 
doctrine eventually overriding the bigotry and intoler- 
ance of those who sought to destroy the views he sought 
to expound and establish. 
Thus around this old mansion was woven a delight- 
ful romance of a noted personage of religious history. 
its preservation today is due to the efforts of Mrs. Ellen 
M. Shaw of Gloucester (nee Lowe of Essex, Mass.), the 
present owner of the house. 
Mrs. Shaw’s taste for the antique and historical is 
an inherited one, she being a near relative of T. O. H. 
Burnham, the noted antiquarian, who amassed a large 
fortune from his bookstore, which his descendants now 
conduct under the Old South Church, Boston. Mrs. 
Shaw’s parents were old and prominent "Essex residents, 
her father being Col. Joshua Lowe and her mother, Mary 
Burnham, being an aunt of the noted Boston antiquar- 
ian. Her grandfather, Thomas Burnham, fought under 
Washington during the Revolution and her brother 
studied law with Rufus Choate. 
Mrs. Shaw’s fine inherited taste for the richness of 
listorical associations and her own personal fortune has 
been used to restore the famous old house to its original 
atmosphere and give to the public -a museum to visit 
filled with the rarest of colonial relics representing her 
own private collection of over forty years’ accumula 
tion. 
Rev. John Murray’s remains repose in Mt. Auburn 
cemetery, Boston, near where are those of Mary Baker 
Hddy, founder of Christian Science, rested temporarily 
iast winter, also those of Edwin Booth, the master of 
the American stage and Dorothea L. Dix, sociologist and 
rot far away are the remains of O. W. Holmes, James 
Russell Lowell and Henry W. Longfellow.
