CORNELIA/ AMORY/ GODDARD/ LORING/ OF BOSTON/ MASSACHUSETTS/ BORN SEPT 27 1810/ DIED MAY 15 1875/
From Boston Brahmin families in America we have further information that she shared Doctors Gresanowsky and Wilson with Elizabeth Barrett Browning. See ebbdeath.html, also A109. Lilian Whiting in Kate Field adding 'Dr. Gresanowsky was a Prussian who, for political reasons, had left his country and domiciled himself in Florence, where he became one of the habitues of Casa Guidi. Mrs. Browning frequently had long talks with him as they both sat on Isa Blagden's terrace on Bellosguardo, and to Kate and her mother this liberal and cultivated Prussian became a valued friend'.) Nicholas Loring Hadden transcribed the archival letters preserved by his great great grandfather, her stepson, the Civil War General, Charles Greeley Loring Jr, who was also Curator of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. He explains that Cornelia's first husband died in a carriage accident, leaving her to raise their son George Goddard, and that she married secondly State Senator and Harvard Overseer Charles Greeley Loring, acquiring two stepchildren, the second of whom became the wife of Asa Gray of Gray's Anatomy. Amy Lowell was at Cornelia's side during her illness, and was supported by their cousin Mrs Greenough, married to the sculptor. Amy Lowell's letters describe their earlier visit together to the 'English' Cemetery in Florence, Cornelia expressing the wish to be buried there and her persuasion of Louisa King's sisters not to have Louisa's body shipped home. Amy recounts the medical visits of Doctors Gresanowsky and Wilson (Wilson spoken of here as the ablest physician in Florence) and their careful treatment of the patient, their conclusion that it is a latent cancer, the laying out of her body dressed in a simple black silk dress with white lace collar and cuffs, her hair braided (this is still the Florentine custom), it being placed in a fine wooden coffin, with a plate on it giving her name, then cased in lead and sealed with the seal of Florence, and last its burial with both Rev Connolly and the American Episcopalian Rev Mills officiating in white robes. (Rev Pierce Connolly is buried in the Allori Cemetery, he was the plaintiff in a suit that reached the House of Lords to have his wife back after he became a Roman Catholic priest and she founded the Order of the Holy Child, a suit which he lost). Variously present at the two funeral services were Mrs Huntington, Mr and Mrs Lothrop, the Alexanders (for their son's tomb, see AB28), Mr and Mrs Perkins, Dr Gresanowsky, Mr and Mrs Richard Saltonstall Greenough, Miss Horner, Mr and Mrs Sullivan, and Mrs Erving and Miss Briggs, the last two Louisa King (AB10)'s sisters. Amy Lowell describes the beauty of the Cemetery, its profusion of roses and the many famous people buried there, including a child of James Lowell (we have no record of this burial), Mrs Horner, Mrs Browning (B8), Theodore Parker (D108), Clough (F8), many others. The General set sail from Boston for England on hearing by telegramme of his stepmother's illness, too late he telegrammed instructions she be embalmed, which was not possible. She was 65, he 47. The tombstone is very beautiful in art nouveau style and sans serif lettering.
