General Notes: Husband - Richard McAllister, Jr.

---

He was a resident of Washington nearly thirty years, and was with his father, at St. Louis, where during the Civil War his father was General Grant's Chief Commissary in the Department of the Mississippi. In November, 1863, was appointed Acting Ensign in the navy by Admiral Porter; honorably discharged Sept. 3, 1865. He was for a short time Colonel on the staff of Governor Geary, but resigned to go to Washington to enter his father's law office. He graduated at Georgetown University Law School in 1873, and was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court in 1883, and in the Court of Claims 1888.
He died of heart clot and was buried at Arlington June 27, 1896, according to the rites of the Episcopal Church, of which he was a communicant, and Grand Army services by officers of Kit Carson Post. "He was a man universally beloved and respected, for his sense of honor and integrity were above question, and his word as good as a bond. He had an unselfish, affectionate and lovable disposition, was charitable and generous, and had an unusually large number of friends." (Washington Star, July 8, 1896.)
