Portraii of Mrs. Helen Dortch Longstreet,
Widou) of General James Longstreet, C. S. A.,
Unveiled in Georgias Stale Capitol
(Special to The Bulletin)
ATLANTA, Ga.—In a ceremony
commemorative of the old South,
a portrait of Mrs. Helen Dortch
Longstreet, widow of General
James E. Longstreet, one of the
most famous of Lee’s Lieutenants,
was unveiled in the Capitol of the
State of Georgia on June 30.
Representatives of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy
from nearly every Southern State
were present to pay tribute to the
white-haired widow of one of the
great leaders of the Confederate
Army for her lifetime of service to
Georgia and the South.
Eighteen speakers, in a sympo
sium, traced Mrs. Longstreet's ca
reer through her days as a news
paperwoman, assistant state libra
rian, author and public servant in
America’s last three wars.
She was the first woman to hold
public office in Georgia, having
been appointed assistant state li
brarian some years before she
married General Longstreet in
1897.
General Julius Franklin Howell,
102 years old, and one of the few
survivors of Long-treet’s corps,
unveiled the portrati of the wife
of his former commander.
Plans for the ceremony were
made by Mrs. C. G. Greene, of Eat-
onlon. and among those attending
were Mrs. Lucy Kearns Hill and
Miss Mary Kearney, granddaugh
ters of the Union Army's General
Phil Kearney, who fell under the
guns of Longstreet's corps at the
Second Battle of Manassas. The
Confederate general had been a
close friend of General Kearney
before the War Between the
States, and the manner of his for
mer comrade’s death was a grief
he carried with him to the grave.
A squad of soldiers from the
Third Army served as a color
guard, and music for the unveiling
ceremony and the reception which
followed at the Atlanta Woman's
Club.
At the reception, Genera! and
Mrs, Clark Howell stood with Mrs.
Longstreet at the head of the re
ceiving line.
Others assisting in the unveiling
ceremony were Mrs. It. H. Rumph,
of Atlanta. Mrs. Longstreet’s
niece, and Miss Jane Longstreet,
of Gainesville, a granddaughter of
General Longstreet.
Members of UDC chapters from
many sections of the South were
represented, led by the Longstreet
Chapter at Gainesville, the home
of Mrs. Longstreet, and the dele
gation from Franklin County, the
place of Mrs. Longstreet’s birth.
Governors of Southern states
sent flags to represent them, the
parade of the state being led by
Mrs. Lena Epperly MacDonald, of
Washington. Mrs. Mary Carter
Winter, of Augusta, directed the
unveiling program.
Both Mrs. Longstreet and Gen
eral Longstreet were converts to
the Catholic Church. General
Longstreet was received into the
Church in 1869, at St. Theresa’s
Church, New Orleans, by Father
Abram J. Ryan, "the poet-priest of
the Confederacy.” Mrs. Longstreet
entered the Church when she was
a student at the College of Notre
Dame of Maryland, in Baltimore.
