nection, including Joseph Sargent, who 
has been on the ‘invalid list for many 
months, and Mrs. James S. Lee, a sis- 
ter. In additionto Mrs, Whitney the 
family includes the Baroness Ludwig 
Knoop,: who arrived from her home in 
England early in the summer, Joseph | 
Sargent, jr., (who married Constance 
Caryl several years ago,) and George 
McC. Sargent. The late Mrs. Sargent 
possessed a particularly winsome and 
lovable disposition, and her dearh is 
bringing much sadness in its train. In 
former years she has spent her winters 
in Egypt, making her summer home in 
Magnolia where most of the above men- 
tioned members of her family also have 
summer homes.

In the death. of Miss Caroline H. 
King of Salem and Peabody one of the 
first summer residents along the Beverly 
shore is removed. John G. King of 
Salem was the first of the sojourners who 
came to Beverly to appreciate its beauties 
and to give it its start as a summer resort. 
He purchased the Eldredge place off 
Hale street near Mingo beach and built 
the first summer residence on the shore, 
commanding a magnificent view of the 
shore stretching from Marblehead down 
along the islands to Manchester. The 
purchase was made in 1843 and the price 
paid for the entire estate would not buy 
a small house-lot today. A part of the 
estate is now owned by Mrs. Susan 
Longworth of Cincinnati. Miss King 
was a sister of the first purchaser and had 
summered there for most of her life. 
The cottage is there today and many al- 
terations were made with the passing of 
the years. After the Kings came other 
Bostonians and after the Bostonians, the 
Westerners, and today any sort of shore 
land at Beverly brings thousands of dol- 
lars,
