Death Of Mary L. McCormick
Was First Clerk Appointed in Controller of Currency's Office
Mrs. Mary L. McCormick, who was the first clerk appointed in the Office of the Controller of the Currency when that bureau was organized in 1863, died last night at her home, No. 2909 Q Street Northwest. She had been in ill health for some time and had been away from her desk in the Treasury Department for about five weeks. Heart disease was the cause of death. Mrs. McCormick was one of the most faithful clerk in the Treasury Department and her long service and experience made her almost invaluable in the controller's office. Forty years is a long time to service in the Treasury Department and have a clear and satisfactory record throughout, but this was the case of Mrs. McCormick. Her work in the bureau in recent years had consisted in writing the charters for newly organized banks and attending to correspondence regarding these banks. Mrs. McCormick was about sixty-four years old and was a member of the West Street Presbyterian Church. She leaves one son. Her husband was an Assistant Surgeon in the army and died during the war.
