- MRS. MARY C. BREWSTER. -
The passing of Mrs. Mary C. Brewster on March 18, 1906, will be learned with sad interest by many old Confederates. She was perhaps the oldest resident of Houston, having come here with her family in 1842 from New York, where she was educated.
In 1846 she gave hand and heart into the keeping of the lover of her ideal youth, Robert Brewster. He built the beautiful home on Milam Street, furnishing it in elegance and enriching it with many souvenirs of foreign travel. (Mr. Brewster will be remembered as a prominent Mason and useful citizen.) In this home they had as one their joys and sorrows. Their children came, and some left them; only two lived to bless declining years. Ten years ago her husband died; but she never mourned him as dead, for she thought of him daily and lived in his influence, hoping in her beautiful trust to meet him ere long.
Her two children, Rev. Mathew Brewster, D.D., of Christ Church, Mobile, Ala., and Mrs. Jennie Hart, were by her bedside
when she breathed her last; and, although pneumonia was the disease with its attendant depression and unconsciousness,
she aroused at the voice and touch of her son and talked with him and her daughter, leaving a consolation to their bleeding hearts, and then "she fell on sleep."
Mrs. Brewster was in her eightieth year, but was still strong and vigorous. Her home, nestling among the beautiful flowers, always made a picture, and any bright morning she might have been seen with her little useful implements caring for her floral treasures. For many years she gathered roses for the bride or lilies for the pale form of some friend. It was interesting to hear her tell her experiences of "war times." Of course she was an ardent Southerner, and her best was given to the South and its brave defenders. She worked in the hospital, and with her own hands attended many a "mother's boy." She nursed many of those who laid down their lives in Houston. It made no difference which side claimed their loyalty when they were needy and suffering.
Gen. J.B Magruder, whom many old soldiers will remember, so neat, so elegant, so fond of ladies' company, was fortunate in claiming the friendship of this noble woman, and his headquarters was in the home of Mr. Robert Brewster. On that fateful occasion when he set out to recapture Galveston he bowed low over her hand and said : "Madam, I believe that 'the prayer of the righteous availeth much,' and I beg of you your prayers now." He won a glorious victory; and when the Harriet Lane was a trophy, the elegant New Year's dinner prepared for her officers was served on Mrs. Brewster's table.
Mrs. Brewster passed through many scourges of yellow fever and at least two of cholera. She was a very successful nurse in yellow fever, and many a stranger away from his home loved her for her kindly ministrations.
Surely God gave of his abundance to this dear woman; for being faithful over few things, she was worthy to rule over many. Everybody loved her; and when she died, grief, like a pall, shrouded the great heart of Houston. She loved the Church and its work and all the orders of the Confederacy. She was the beloved honorary member of R.E. Lee Chapter of Houston, Tex., and our meetings held in her home were always of a social as well as business nature. Her helpful suggestions often lifted the shadow during our deliberations.
Comrades, friends, ours is the grief and sorrow. She has entered upon her inheritance and is happily at rest.
