MRS. H. E. DON CARLOS WAS AUTHOR AND CLUB WOMAN; ILL ONLY A SHORT TIME
Mrs. Louisa Cooke Don Carlos, 75, writer, civic leader, club woman and long time Lawrence resident, died today at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. She became ill during the night Saturday and was taken to the hospital Sunday.
Born in Louisville, Kentucky, October 10, 1874, Mrs. Don Carlos had remained, through a long residence in Kansas, still a southern gentle woman. She never had lost her southern accent or her love for the tradition of the south, while at the same time maintaining a constant watch for interesting historical facts about her adopted state and city.
After her parents, Alice Galena Kessel and Bolivar H. Cooke, moved to Nashville, Tenn., Mrs. Don Carlos attended school there, including Ward Belmont School for Girls. She received her A.B. and B.A. degrees from the Univesity of Kansas in 1926 and only last term she had re-entered the University as a special student taking courses in writing.
She married Harry E. Don Carlos, a United States Federal Judge in the Indian Territory, now Oklahoma, and they later moved to Lawrence where he was president of the Fraternal Aid, now the Standard Life Association. Don Carlos died in 1988. After his death Mrs. Don Carlos made a trip around the world. Her room at The Hearth, 17 East 11th Street, is crammed with memories of her travels.
Her published books include: Bottled in the Smoke; The Mouse Miller; Virginia's Inheritance; Dear and Queer Things. Her poetry and biography were included in the Kansas Anthology, Sunflowers, Who's Who of North American Authors; Encyc lopedia of Women Poets; Leading Women of the United States.
She had recently completed ready for publication, a novel "Pride of the Prairie" on which she had done research on the early history of Kansas for many years. At the closing meeting of the Lawrence Woman's club this summer, she read a chapter from the book, and also played her song, "Kansas is Wanting Me."
During World War I she served as a hostess for the War Camp Community Service at Leavenworth, and saw overseas service as director of women in the Dauphane-Leave area in France.
She was second reader in the First Christian Science Church here, and a member of the Mother Church in Boston; was a charter member and past president of the Vendredi Club; organizer and past president of the Miercoles club; was a member of the Contract club, the Music club, a past president of the Lawrence Civic League, was vice-president of the Kansas Authors and Press Club, an honorary member of the Social Science Club of Kansas. She had been regent of the Betty Washington Chapter of the Daughter of the American Revolution, a counselor of Beta Sigma Phi, national professionalism and business sorority and a member of Theta Sigma Phi national journalism sorority. She held a membership in the Kansas Composers Club and had been a national member of A.A.U.W. and director of the City Woman's Club.
The Don Carlos home for many years was at 1605 Tennessee Street and before that was at 646 Louisiana. It was while at the former residence that her niece, Miss Esther Settle of Nashville, came to live while attending the University of Kansas.
