M WALKER
CIVIL WAR FAME
GOES TO REST
WAS NOTED SUItGEON DURING
REBELLION AND AWARDED
MEDAL OF HONOR
KiH-nt Four Years on IlattleflclUF
and Waa First American 'Woman
to GMt Legal Ballot
Walerlowu, N. Y., Feb. 22. Dr.
Mary Walker, aged 87 years, died
here today after a long illness. She
was a surgeon during the Civil war
and was awarded the congressional
medal of honor. She was the only
woman wno was allowed to appear
male attltre, by act of congress.
Dr. Mary E. Walker led a pictures
que career. Four years were spent
on the .battleflolda of the Civil war.
The remainder of her active life was
spent In fighting for .the feminine
dress reform and woman's right to
political suffrage, In which move
ments she waa a pioneer. She fre
quently claimed to have been the
first American woman to attempt to
cast a ballot In a legal election. Her
livelihood was earned during all
these years by her private medical
practice and by writing.
Dr. Walker also was distinguished
as the only woman in hlstdry who,
when a captive in war, was 'exchang
ed a a prisoner of war for a man of
equal rank in tha army of the toe,
She waa also the first woman to be
regularly enlisted In an army as a
surgeon.
She dressed like her brother offi
cers, having a gold stripe running
down the trouser legs, wearing a
felt hat with gold cord, and an offi
cers overcoor. Her Jacket was cut
like a blouse and fitted loosely at
the neck. Dr. Walker never married.
"Do I ever have unkind things
said to me?" she once said, echoing
an Interviewer's question. "Yea,
of course by Ill-bred people. But
they are few. When anyone does
say anything unpleasant I usually
have something to say In return
which makes us quits. Oh, I tell you,
trousers are a great thing."
Occasionally, a policeman tailing
to recognize the little, gray-haired
woman, placed her under arrest.
This recently happened In Chicago,
Showing the documents which gave
her the right to wear masculine at
tire, she was released. Her only re
mark regarding the guardian ot the
law was: "He's an old Idiot."
Although a pioneer In the woman
suffrage movement, Dr. Walker was
out ot sympathy with the methods
ot some of her slater-workers.
'Women will"' get suffrage Just as
soon as they stop making loom of
themselves," she declared recently
with considerable vigor. "They've
got to stop talking so much and do
some work. These everlasting am
endments will never get them their
rights. - They want to state what
they want and stick to it."
