Mrs. Lucien Powell, Widow of Painter, Is Dead at 77
Had Long Been Active In Red Cross and Church Work
Mrs. Lucien Whiting Powell, 77, widow of the widely known landscape painter whose work is contained in many private and public art collections, including the Corcoran Gallery of Art, died yesterday afternoon at her residence, 5437 Connecticut avenue N.W., after a brief illness.
She was president of the Ladies' Morning Auxiliary of Epiphany Church, where she recently had organized a unit of the American Red Cross. She had been active in Red Cross and church work for many years, and was a member of the Association for Preservation of Virginia Antiquities.
Until she was stricken with cerebral hemorrhage a short time ago, Mrs. Powell had been in excellent health. Only last summer she traveled alone to England and Scotland, returning a few days before the war broke out. She had accompanied her husband on travels throughout the United States and Europe and to Palestine.
Mrs. Powell, before her marriage, was Miss Nan Fitzhugh, a member of one of Virginia's oldest families. She was born in Loudoun County, Va., and at the time of her death still owned Powellton, an estate near Upperville, Va.
Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Francis August Millot of Windber, Pa., and Mrs. Jesse Lewis Heiskell of Kildaire, near Oxon Hill, Md.; one son, Lucien Fitzhugh Powell of Washington, and a sister, Mrs. William H. Wanamaker of Washington.
Funeral arrangements are to be made today.
