Death of Miss Jane Carroll
Last of the Daughters of Daniel Carroll of Duddington
The death last Friday of Miss Jane Carroll removes from Washington one of the lives which linked the present city with its early history. Miss Carroll was the youngest and last surviving daughter of Daniel Carroll. She was born April 7, 1821, at Duddington. This fine old colonial mansion, with its grounds occupying the square between 1st and 2nd and D and E streets southeast, was built in 1793, the year in which the District of Columbia was laid out, and remained for nearly a century the home of that refined life and graceful hospitality typical of the old southern family. Daniel Carroll died in 1849. His family consisted of six daughters. In 1884, only the two youngest survived, and it was then, to the regret of all who knew the place as one of the landmarks of early Washington, that the two surviving sisters left Duddington , which was sold and torn down to make way for the rows of houses now occupying the ground. After the death, in 1887, of her last sister, Rebecca, Miss Carroll lived most of the time with her niece, Mrs I N Burritt on I street northwest, but she always retained her strong interests and attachments in the eastern section of the city, which had grown up within her lifetime on what had originally been part of her father's plantation. She was a life long member of St Peter's Church, and retained her pew there until the last. The Sacred Heart window was her life to the new building. Her father gave the ground for the church to the infant parish, as he did that on which the Capitol was built to the embryo city. Miss Carroll was a genial and happy disposition, bright, accomplished and witty, with a charming manner , always cheerful and animated. Through life holding the many so crows of one who outlives all her nearest of family, and through her own waning strength, her mental faculties and her sunny temperament remained unimpaired. Less than a week before her death she was called upon by lawyers to attest her father's signature to deeds conveying property for some benevolent purpose in the District, and quickly corrected , some incidental mistakes. Her greatest anxiety in the last day or two seemed to be lest the change for the worse in her condition should deprive the family of some anticipated pleasure. …….

The funeral of Miss Jane Carroll, which will take place from St Peter's Church tomorrow will be largely attended by the older families of the city. Miss Carroll was born at Duddington, a short distance south of the capital, in April 1821. She was the last surviving daughter of Daniel Carroll, one of the proprietors of the land on which Washington city was laid out, and who owned the ground on which the Capitol building was erected. Miss Carroll, after the death of her sister, Miss Rebecca Carroll, left the old mansion at Duddington and has resided with her niece, Mrs K N Burrito, widow of the late editor of the Sunday Herald. Her death has left a vacancy among the old families of Washington that cannot be filled.
