Sector AB lies along the edge of the original medieval wall
built of the grey green stone used first for the Ghibelline
towers, then for the Guelf walls of common defence for the
city by Arnolfo di Cambio. This space became available after
Poggi changed the structure of the 'English' Cemetery from
square to oval. We have the original letters between Giuseppe Poggi and Pietro
Ganzoni, who built the private railroad to the Carrara marble
quarries, on the dynamiting of the medieval wall, etc. The
tombs here date from 1873 to 1876.

This six-year-old Italian child is mourned biblically

forbidden the Bible in their language, so, finding the Swiss
Louise Pereaz Baldassini, likely her mother, named in the

burial here.

AB5/ 1314/ CORNELIA (AMORY GODDARD) LORING/ AMERICA
From Boston
Brahmin families in America we have further information that she
shared Doctors Gresanowsky and Wilson with Elizabeth Barrett
Browning. See ebbdeath.html, also A109. Lilian Whiting in
Kate Field adding 'Dr. Gresanowsky was a Prussian who, for
political reasons, had left his country and domiciled himself in
Florence, where he became one of the habitues of Casa Guidi. Mrs.
Browning frequently had long talks with him as they both sat on
Isa Blagden's terrace on Bellosguardo, and to Kate and her mother
this liberal and cultivated Prussian became a valued friend'.)
Nicholas Loring Hadden transcribed the archival letters preserved
by his great great grandfather, her stepson, the Civil War
General, Charles Greeley Loring Jr, who was also Curator of the
Boston Museum of Fine Arts. He explains that Cornelia's first
husband died in a carriage accident, leaving her to raise their
son George Goddard, and that she married secondly State Senator
and Harvard Overseer Charles Greeley Loring, acquiring two
stepchildren, the second of whom became the wife of Asa Gray of
Gray's Anatomy. Amy Lowell was at Cornelia's side during her
illness, and was supported by their cousin Mrs Greenough, married
to the sculptor. Amy Lowell's letters describe their earlier visit
together to the 'English' Cemetery in Florence, Cornelia
expressing the wish to be buried there and her persuasion of Louisa King's sisters not to have
Louisa's body shipped home. Amy recounts the medical visits of Doctors Gresanowsky and Wilson
(Wilson spoken of here as the ablest physician in Florence) and
their careful treatment of the patient, their conclusion that it
is a latent cancer, the laying out of her body dressed in a simple
black silk dress with white lace collar and cuffs, her hair
braided (this is still the Florentine custom), it being placed in
a fine wooden coffin, with a plate on it giving her name, then
cased in lead and sealed with the seal of Florence, and last its
burial with both Rev Connolly and the American Episcopalian Rev
Mills officiating in white robes. (Rev Pierce Connolly is buried
in the Allori Cemetery, he was the plaintiff in a suit that
reached the House of Lords to have his wife back after he became a
Roman Catholic priest and she founded the Order of the Holy Child,
a suit which he lost). Variously present at the two funeral
services were Mrs Huntington, Mr and Mrs Lothrop, the Alexanders
(for their son's tomb, see AB28),
Mr and Mrs Perkins, Dr Gresanowsky, Mr and Mrs Richard Saltonstall
Greenough, Miss Horner, Mr and Mrs Sullivan, and Mrs Erving and
Miss Briggs, the last two Louisa King (AB10)'s sisters. Amy Lowell
describes the beauty of the Cemetery, its profusion of roses and
the many famous people buried there, including a child of James
Lowell (we have no record of this burial), Mrs Horner, Mrs
Browning (B8), Theodore Parker (D108), Clough (F8), many others. The General
set sail from Boston for England on hearing by telegramme of his
stepmother's illness, too late he telegrammed instructions she be
embalmed, which was not possible. She was 65, he 47. The tombstone
is very beautiful in art nouveau style and sans serif lettering.

ROSS SAULTER HOLDEN/ IRELAND
She is 19. Her parents have
commissioned a famous sculptor, Ettore Ximenes, to create her
tomb. A relative has written the following: 'Io mi chiamo
Tommaso Gullì They e sono di Reggio Calabria. Il mio antenato
Vincenzo Gullì (ramo minoritario della casa dei Gullì) era
tenente di fanteria e diventerà poi colonello della cavalleria
reale e anche lui era di Reggio Calabria. Vincenzo era figlio
di Don Tommaso Gullì e Angelica They Lalanne Bergaurder
(Marsiglia Francia). La mia è una famiglia antica di Reggio
Calabria nobili d'arme. Vincenzo sposerà la sorella di
Ina Saulter Holden e l'unico figlio della coppia (Vincenzo
Annie) è Tommaso Gullì Medaglia D'Oro della Marina Reale che
sarà ucciso nel 1919 a Spalato. Vincenzo Gullì e Ina Saulter
una sera un paio di settimane prima della morte di lei e poco
prima del suo matrimonio che era già organizzato erano andati
a cavalcare in un bosco ma vengono sorpresi da un temporale e
Ina si bagna molto e prende la polmonite cadendo malata ed è
così che muore. Il 18-11- 1878 Vincenzo sposa la sorella
Annie Saulter di Ross e Mary Holden entrambi erano di Belfast
Irlanda del Nord e anche Annie era nata a Belfast. Annie
morirà a 32 anni a Viareggio 1-2-1892'. This is one among several tombs with a portrait

See Bennett http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43505:
'The growth of
Nonconformity
in Crosby
Garrett as
told by J. W.
Nicholson is
worthy of
note. Some of
the Richardson
family had
long
interested
themselves in
the Birks
Chapel, near
Warcop. Nancy
Richardson of
Mossgill House
married in
1804 George
Greenwood, a
merchant and
ship owner of
Hull, and he,
being a
Baptist
preacher of
considerable
ability, came
to reside here
and use his
efforts on
behalf of that
body. They
caused the
Independent
Chapel to be
enlarged.
Until 1856 the
Independents
and Baptists
preached in
the same
chapel, the
services of
the former
being
conducted by
the minister
who walked
over from
Ravenstonedale
on alternate
Sundays. But
as this body
decreased in
numbers and as
the Rev.
William
Fawcett, a
Baptist
minister of
private means,
who had
married Miss
Greenwood,
came to reside
permanently at
Mossgill House
in 1856, the
Baptists took
over the whole
conduct of the
place. William
Fawcett
appears to
have been a
learned and
able preacher,
many came long
distances to
hear him and
to their great
regret, owing
to ill health
he resigned on
19 October,
1873. He was
interested in
the building
of the chapels
at Great Asby
and Winton. In
1887 the
chapel was
handed over to
Trustees for
the use of the
denomination'.
So he comes to
Florence
because of ill
health; one
wonders,
tuberculosis?

summary. On
Tuesday last a
most grand and
elegant
entertainment
was given by
Dr and Mrs
Langworthy at
their country
residence
Prospect House
near Bath to
commemorate
the arriving
of their
lovely and
interesting
daughter in
law Mrs Austin
Langworthy. To
give a full
description of
the fete would
be impossible,
every luxury
and comfort
that could
gratify the
eye and tempt
the most
Epicurean
palate were
amply
provided. The
festivities of
the day
commenced at
an early hour
with the
ringing of
bells,
discharge of
cannon and the
enthusiastic
sports of the
happy and
numerous
peasantry
sufficiently
indicated to
the guests
invited that
it was set
apart for one
continued
scene of joy
and good
humour. At
three o'clock
about 200
children were
plentifully
regaled with
good old
English fare,
a fine ox and
sheep having
been roasted
for the
occasion and a
well selected
band
throughout the
day
contributed
much to
enliven the
festive scene.
At five
o'clock a
sumptuous
repast
consisting of
every delicacy
of the season
was served up
in the saloon
to a numerous
party of
friends
followed by a
succession of
hospitalities
during the
evening. The
house was
brilliantly
illuminated
with devices
appropriate to
the occasion
and the lawn
tastefully
decorated with
a profusion of
choice shrubs
and flowers in
the form of
triumphal
arches &c
interspersed
with
variegated
lamps forming
a most
beautiful and
interesting
coup d'oeil.
Dancing
commenced at
eight and an
elegant supper
was served at
one o'clock.
After
partaking of a
refreshing
dejeune a la
fourchette the
company
separated at
five o'clock
in the morning
highly
gratified with
the
entertainment
provided by
their worthy
host and
hostess'.

interfere in
the management
of the trust
but
William.Briscoe,
who was
alleged to be
the solicitor
and
confidential
professional
adviser of the
plaintiff's
late husband
R. A.
Langworthy,
took upon
himself the
management of
the trust
funds.
The
trust funds or
greater part
of them were
sold out by
the trustees
and advanced
to Robert
Austen
Langworthy
upon security
of some
property. This
had been done
at the written
request of the
husband and
the plaintiff
his wife
whereby she
authorized the
trustees to do
so on the
husband giving
an equitable
mortgage of
the premises
therein
mentioned. The plaintiff declared Felix Parhinson
and William
Briscoe shall
not be
required to
make good any
loss or losses
that may arise
to said trust
funds so
transferred
into their
names by
reason of such
present sale
and
appropriation
or sales and
appropriations
having been
made by reason
of said
mortgage
proving
insufficient
to realize the
sum of
£2275.now to
be advanced to
him and the
several sums
so advanced
him.
Mr.
Langworthy
died in 1850
and his widow
the plaintiff
married Mr.
Hanchett in
1853.
Felix
Parhinson died
in 1849 and
William
Briscoe in
January 1855.
The plaintiff now alleged she had
done so on the
understanding
the greater
portion of
same would be
properly
secured on
property
belonging to
her late
husband and
particularly
of his
interest in a
house at Bath
and elsewhere. It appeared after the death of
R.A.Langworthy,
the plaintiff
or her present
husband in her
right, had
received the
rents of this
house until 24
June 1855. (The Jurist 1849 Saturday 2
September. The
following
Assignees have
been
appointed,
further
particulars
may be learned
at the Office

Fields on
giving the
Number of the
Case:
Robert
A. Langworthy,
Bath
Somersetshire
surgeon No.
37617T.
Daniel
Wood new
assignee,
Thomas Flower
deceased). This property had however been claimed
by the Asignee
of Mr
Langworthy who
had taken
benefit of the
Insolvent Act
and it had
been sold to
pay prior
incumbrances
thereon. The
plaintiff by
this bill
insisted that
Briscoe had
committed a
breach of
trust by
selling out
the trust
funds and
advancing same
to her late
husband and
prayed that
they might be
replaced out
of his estate.
Mr.Rowpell
and Mr. Stiffe
for the
Plaintiff: The object of the declaration of
the Court was
to protect the
wife against
the influence
of the husband
and no assent
of hers as a
married woman
could
authorize the
trustees to
commit a
breach of
trust. No
consideration
passed to the
wife in the
transaction
and her exact
position was
not as it
should have
been explained
to her by the
trustee
Briscoe nor
had she had
communicated
to her full
knowledge of
all the
circumstances.
The contract
was not
therefore
binding upon
her and the
securities
having turned
out
insufficient
Briscoe as
solicitor is
personally
responsible
for the
deficiency. Mr. R. Palmer and Mr. Renshaw
contra:
It is
an entirely
erroneous view
to divide the
plaintiff's
interest into
a life
interest and a
reversion;
when she
survived her
husband she
could then
deal with the
property as
she chose and
this is her
second
husband's
suit. The
plaintiff was
discovert from
May 1850 to
May 1853 and
made no
complaint of
the advances
made with her
own assent to
her late
husband and
also she
received the
rent of one of
the houses
upon which the
money was
advanced and
continued to
receive it
after her
second
marriage to
June 1855. The Master of the Rolls: In this case I am of the opinion
this married
woman disposed
of everything
she could
dispose of
namely her
life interest
but with
respect to her
reversionary
interest
subject to her
life interest,
she had no
power to do
so.
With
respect to the
trustees
whether they
were justified
in acting as
they did
having regard
to the orders
of the Court,
the trustees
in my opinion
parted with a
fund which
they were
bound to
retain and
they must
therefore
replace it. I am disposed to think, although it is
not necessary
to express an
opinion, that
although she
had no power
to dispose of
the fund, she
might have
asked the
Court to put
it in strict
settlement if
she had
thought fit. To use the expression of the Vice
Chancellor of
England in the
well-known
case of Bishop
v. Colebrooh,
if she had
come to the
Court to ask
the Court to
settle the
fund, she
might have had
it settled,
although she
could not
dispose of it. I am therefore of the opinion
the trustees
must replace
the fund. I think however that must be done
without costs
as part of the
suit has
failed and
part of it has
succeeded. The better plan is to say it
shall be done
without costs
on either
side.
The
amount of
stock must be
replaced by
the
representatives
of the
trustees and
paid into
Court and the
dividends be
paid to them
until further
order'.

foreign travel have enlarged
his powers, and in the
refinement of cultured
society he finds his true
home. His literary
attainments are finely shown
in the able articles over
his signature in the earlier
part of this book. Of the
mercantile house of Lewis
Audenraid & Co., Boston,
Mass., he has made his
financial success a means of
enjoying the delights of
genuine rural life, in St.

AB30/ 1255/ JOHANNES SCHMID/JOHN SMITH/ SWITZERLAND/ENGLAND
Either we have here an English father, E138/ JAMES SMITH/SCHMIDT, in
Sector E, who they say lived to be 103, and his son, John,
whose death date is
the same as that for Johannes, in this Sector,
who have both completely assimilated into European
culture, he being the second generation to have done so,
domiciled in Italy and Switzerland, or there is a mistake
in the archives. The time span makes the fathering
somewhat improbable as James dies at 103 in 1834, John at
57 in 1874, so James would have been 85 when John was
conceived, and John 17 when he ordered his father James'
tomb. Johannes Schmid is mentioned by the Cemetery's
historian, Dalgas, as from the Canton of Thurgau, which is
German-speaking.

the city of Florence, the lily and the cross, originally
sculpted by Arnolfo di Cambio for the Porta a' Pinti or
Porta Fiesolana Gate to the city, demolished by Giuseppe Poggi, replaced
here and which flank an empty niche. The lily is actually
the wild Florentine iris, which we have now planted in
profusion throughout the cemetery demarking its paths. Lord
Leighton, William Holman Hunt and others sculpt it on many
of our tombs.
