Kent, Robert Craig, born in Wythe county, Virginia, November 28,
1828, and died at Wytheville, Virginia, April 30, 1905, a son of Robert Kent and his wife,
Elizabeth Craig, and a descendant of Jacob Kent, who fled to Holland from England because of
religious persecution, from thence came to Virginia in 1760, settling in what is now Montgomery
county. The Craigs were a prominent family of Southwest Virginia, and closely allied to the
Montgomery family. Robert Kent was an extensive land owner and a farmer of Wythe county, where
for a number of years he was a justice of the old county court. After a careful education in the
preparatory schools in the vicinity of his home, Robert Craig Kent matriculated at Georgetown
College, Washington, D. C., and from this institution he went to Princeton, from which he was
graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. He then commenced the study of law in the office
of Judge Andrew Fulton, of Wytheville, and was admitted to the bar in 1853.He at once established

Emmet, Thomas Addis, born at the University of Virginia, May 29,
1828, son of Dr. John Patten Emmet (q. v.). and Mary Byrd
(Tucker) Emmet. He received his education at a preparatory school near the university, and in a
school at Flushing, Long Island, under the charge of the Rev. Francis L. Hawks, with a partial
course in the academic department of the University of Virginia. In the autumn of 1845 he entered
the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, under the supervision of Dr. Robley Dunglison, one
of the original professors, graduating in 1849-50, and immediately afterwards passing a
competitive examination, and receiving an appointment as resident physician to the Emigrant
Refuge Hospital, Ward's Island, New York Harbor. He served in that capacity for two years, when
he was appointed a visiting physician to the same institution, and served until the spring of
1855, being the junior by twenty years of the next youngest member of the medical board. Forming
the acquaintance of Dr. J. Marion Sims, he began to assist him in his operations at the opening
of the Woman's Hospital, in May, 1855. In the following September he received the appointment of
assistant surgeon. This position he held until the resignation of Dr. Sims, in 1861, when he
became surgeon-in-chief, and when the Woman's Association became merged under the charter of the
Woman's Hospital of the State of New York, in 1868, he continued to hold the same position from
the board of governors. Under Dr. Emmet's supervision a large proportion of the money was
subscribed, and the first buildings of the Woman's Hospital were constructed under his advice,
and he fully organized the medical department. The service rapidly increased, and Dr. Emmet had a
number of assistants, but it became too large eventually for him to give his attention to the
necessary details. It was then decided by the board of governors to place the hospital in charge
of a medical board, and Dr. Emmet became visiting surgeon, and he continued on duty until his
resignation in 1902, having given a continuous service of nearly forty-seven years to the
institution. Dr. Emmet served as consulting surgeon or physician to the Roosevelt Hospital, St.
Vincent's Hospital, the Foundling Asylum, and other institutions in the city of New York. He
published in 1868 an original surgical work, "Vesico Vaginal Fistula," which was the foundation
of this form of plastic surgery. His chief professional work, and one embodying the experience of
a lifetime, was "The Principles and Practice of Gynaecology," issued in 1879, going through three
editions in this country, and translated into German and French, of each a single edition. It has
been estimated that Dr. Emmet contributed to the medical journals, at home or abroad, over
seventy original monographs bearing chiefly on the surgical diseases of women, and his modes of
operating and treatment have generally become the accepted practice. Many of these papers were
translated abroad, and one treatise describing an original operation which has proved of
incalculable value in laceration of the cervix uteri was translated and printed in Chinese
characters for circulation in Japan. Dr. Emmet is the author of various essays and addresses upon
subjects connected with American history. On the inception of the Irish National Federation in
Ireland for gaining home rule by constitutional means, he was chosen president of that
organization in America, and during his service of eight years he produced a number of papers and
addresses on subjects connected with Irish history. One, "Irish Emigration During the Seventeenth
and Eighteenth Centuries," the result of considerable research, was read January 19, 1899, before
the American-Irish Historical Society, and published in its "Transactions." He issued in 1899, in
a limited edition, an extensive work, "The Emmet Family, and with some incidents relating to
Irish History, and a Biographical Sketch of Professor John Patten Emmet, M. D., etc." octavo, pp.
411, with over one hundred portraits and other illustrations. Dr. Emmet's "Ireland Under English
Rule, or a Plea for the Plaintiff," was issued by G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, 1903, two
volumes, octavo, pp. 333 and 359. in which the political and commercial relations of Ireland are
treated in detail for the past three hundred years. The title of Doctor of Laws was conferred
upon Dr. Emmet by the trustees of the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, the governing
power of the Jefferson University, Pennsylvania. Dr. Emmet is a member of the principal medical
societies of New York, and has been president of the New York Obstetrical Society, president of
the American Gynaecological Society, twice vice-president of the Medical Society of the County of
New York, a permanent member of the State Medical Society, and honorary member of the State
Medical Society of New Jersey and Connecticut. He has been an honorary member of various
societies in England, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Belgium, Germany and France, and of nearly every
Gynaecological society in the United States. He was the recipient of the Laetare Medal from the
University of Notre Dame. As a pioneer, his chief professional work was devoted to the
development of the surgery and treatment of the diseases of women as a distinct branch, and from
1861 his practice was devoted exclusively to gynaecology as a specialty. In 1903 he retired from
practice, and since that time has devoted himself to literary pursuits, and particularly to the
study of the Gaelic or Irish language. He acquired some knowledge of this language during his
service in the Emigrant Refuge Hospital after the great Irish famine in 1849, and at which time
but a small portion of the Irish peasantry was familiar with any other but their native tongue.
Dr. Emmet was married in 1854 to Catherine Rebecca, daughter of John and Catherine Moffit Duncan,
of Montgomery, Alabama.

Latané, James Allen, born in Essex county, Virginia,
January 15, 1831, a descendant of Dr. Lewis Latané, a French Huguenot, who came to
Virginia in 1700; graduated at the University of Virginia in 1852, and then studied law. In 1854
he entered the Protestant Episcopal Theological Seminary, near Alexandria, and in 1856 was
ordained deacon, and in 1857 was made priest by Bishop Meade, at Millwood, Virginia. He was
rector at Staunton from 1857 to 1871, then at Wheeling, West Virginia, till 1874, when he
formally withdrew from the Protestant Episcopal church, and announced his adhesion to the
Reformed Episcopal tenets. Returning to his early home, he founded a Reformed church in Essex
county, and on in King William county. He was elected bishop in 1876, and declined the position,
but accepted it when he was elected a second time, in 1879, and was assigned to the southern
jurisdiction. He was unanimously elected presiding bishop in 1883. He resided in Baltimore,
having charge of the Bishop Cumming Memorial church. He died in 1902.

Talley, Susan Archer, born in Hanover county, Virginia, in 1835,
of Huguenot descent. When she was eight years old her father removed to Richmond, in order to
educate her. At ten years of age, an attack of scarlet fever left her with impaired hearing, and
she took to drawing, and then painting in water colors and oil, becoming skillful in all, and
made some essays at sculpture. Her tasks, however, inclined her to poetry, and at the age of
eleven she wrote creditable verse which was published in the "Southern Literary Messenger." At
Richmond, and in 1859 her first volume of poems was published. She was for a time a clerk in the
war department. She later became a contributor to "Harper's" and "Scribner's Magazines," and
other leading periodicals and newspapers. Her poem which is of greatest note is "Ennerslie," by
many held to be remindful of Tennyson's "Lady of Shalott."

civil war. he enlisted in the Confederate army in May, 1861, and served until the close of the
struggle, being advanced by regular graduation from private to lieutenant-colonel. He
participated in all the battles with which Stonewall Jackson was identified, and all of those
commanded by Gen. Robert E. Lee in West Virginia. At the close of the war he returned to
Rockbridge. His health had become impaired by the strenuous years of the war, and as his father
had died in 1864, he took charge of the homestead, living there, 1866-85. In the last mentioned
year, without any solicitation on his part, he was elected treasurer of the Virginia Military
Institute and secretary of its board of visitors, positions of which he is still the incumbent.

daughter of Dr. Boyd, of that place. As a Confederate spy during the civil war, she performed
valuable service, and her exploits made her famous. She was at one time captured by the Federals
and imprisoned. After the war she married a former Federal officer, was divorced from him in
1868, then visited Europe, and on her return went on the stage. She published "Belle Boyd in Camp

Cutler, Lizzie Petit, born at Milton, Albemarle county, Virginia,
in 1836; was principally educated at a female seminary at Charlottesville. At the age of nineteen
she wrote her first novel, "Light and Darkness," which was received with such favor that it was
republished in London and translated into the French. In 1860, as "Miss Petit," she gave a series
of popular readings. Her published works are: "Household Mysteries, a Romance of Southern Life"
(1856); and "The Stars of the Crowd, or Men and Women of the Day." She married Mr. Cutler, of

[Pages 220-221]
Allan, William, born at Winchester, Virginia, November 12, 1837,
son of Thomas Allan, Esq., and Jane D. George, his wife. His early education was received at a
private school in Winchester, Virginia, and he entered the University of Virginia. There he
remained until 1861, when he joined the Confederate army, in which he served faithfully and
gained distinction. His skill in mathematics attracted him to the ordnance department, and at the
close of the war, after having been intimately associated with Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson and other
eminent soldiers of the Army of Northern Virginia, he held the rank of lieutenant-colonel. After
the war he was cashier of the National Valley Bank at Staunton, where he remained until 1866. He
was that year elected professor of applied mathematics in Washington College, which was soon to
become Washington and Lee University, and where he achieved great success as a teacher, and had
the esteem and affection of Gen. Robert E. Lee, under whom he had so long and faithfully served
as a soldier. In 1873 he became principal of the McDonough Institute in Maryland, and did much to
make it one of the foremost high schools of the country. there the last years of his life were
spent, devoted to the instruction of youth and at spare times to writing upon subjects connected
with engineering and with the Army of Northern Virginia. Among the most faithful, interesting and
useful histories of the civil war are found to be his articles on "Chancellorsville," "Jackson's
Valley Campaign," and "The Army of Northern Virginia in 1862." An introduction to this last work
was written by his friend and former adversary in arms, the late John Codman Ropes, the
distinguished lawyer and war critic of Boston. It may be said with regard to what Col. Allan has
written upon the subject of the civil war, that his work is history. He also published several
engineering brochures, and a number of articles in the magazines and journals of his time. He
married, May 14, 1874, Elizabeth Randolph Preston, daughter of Mrs. Margaret Preston, the well
known southern poetess. His wife and five children survived him. He died September 17, 1889, at
McDonough, Maryland.

Kable, William Hartman, born in Jefferson county, West Virginia,
September 25, 1837, a son of John Kable, a farmer and manufacturer, and his wife, Elizabeth
Hunter Johnston. The Kables have been resident in this country since 1684, when they
settled in eastern Pennsylvania with William Penn, the Hartmans also living there, and both
families had many members who distinguished themselves as privates and officers in the
revolutionary war. There were intermarriages between these two families, hence the middle name of
Mr. Kable. Attending the schools near his home for his elementary education, at the age of
seventeen years he found himself dependent upon his own resources for the continuance of his
education, and made the best use of his opportunities. He attended a private school, and then
pursued an academic course at the University of Virginia, devoting especial attention to
languages and physics. He commenced what was to be his life work as a teacher in a private
school, and was assistant in Green Plain Academy, Southampton county, 1860-61. For four years,

Hume, Thomas, born in Portsmouth, Virginia, October 21, 1836, son
of Thomas Hume. His mother, Mary Anne Gregory, was a daughter of Dr. Richard Baynham Gregory, of
Gloucester county, Virginia. On the paternal side he is descended from the Rev. Thomas Hume, a
Presbyterian minister of Edinburgh, who came to Virginia and joined his uncle, the Rev. Robert
Dickson, of Princess Anne county. Dr. Hume received his preparation at the Virginia Collegiate
Institute in Portsmouth, Virginia, from which he came to Richmond College, where he was graduated
in 1855 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, receiving afterward the degree of Master of Arts. He
then entered the University of Virginia, where he remained three years, being graduated therefrom
in 1859 in several schools. Upon leaving the university he taught for several years and soon
entered the ministry of the Baptist church. He subsequently received the degree of Doctor of
Divinity, from Richmond College, and of Doctor of Laws from Wake Forest College, North Carolina.
He became a member of the Third Regiment, Virginia Infantry, of which he was made chaplain, but
was transferred to Petersburg during the siege of that place. After the war he became principal
of the Petersburg Classical Institute, where he took a deep interest in the teaching of English,
philology and literature. He traveled abroad, and on his return home became principal of the
Roanoke Female College at Danville, Virginia, and during a part of the same period was also the
pastor of the First Baptist Church of that city. From 1876 until 1885 he resided in Norfolk, and
was professor of English and Latin in the Norfolk College and for four years pastor of the First
Baptist Church.
He published articles on various topics in the press of the country, and was largely instrumental
in the establishment of the professorship of English in the University of Virginia. In July,
1885, Dr. Hume was elected professor of English language and literature in the University of
North Carolina, where he organized the department of English philology and literature, and did
much to promote the knowledge of the modern methods of teaching English. He then became professor
of English literature in that university. For four years he was lecturer on English philology and
literature in the national summer school for teachers at Glens Falls, New York, and for several
years gave courses of lectures before literary societies, colleges, et., on educational and
literary topics. He was a member of the Washington Society of the University of Virginia, and is
a member of the Modern Language Association of America. He was one of the organizers of the Young
Men's Christian Association to be established, and drafted its constitution. Dr. Hume was a
friend of the distinguished English scholar, Thomas R. Price, and takes great delight in his
higher English work. He has written "Helps to the Study of Hamlet," and published papers on "The
Moral Teachings of Shakespeare," "John Milton's Religious Opinions," "The Literature of the
Bible," and has made various other notable contributions to literature. October 31, 1878, Dr.
Hume married Anne Louise Whitescarver, and to them were born four children. He died July 15,
1912.

Chamberlayne, John Hampden, born in Richmond, was descended from
early English settlers. His early education was received in the private schools of his native
place, and he entered the University of Virginia in 1855, and graduated with the degree of Master
of Arts in 1858. At the outbreak of the civil war he enlisted, and rose to be a captain of
artillery. He was a brilliant scholar, and at the close of the war turned his attention to
journalism. He founded the "Richmond State," which, during his time, was the leading evening
Democratic paper of that city, exercising a potent influence in the politics of the state. He had
the faculty of binding to him a host of friends who admired his brilliant conversation, his ready
with and his thorough scholarship. He represented the city of Richmond in the legislature, and
was regarded, at the time of his death, as one of the foremost men of the state. Among those who
were intimately associated with him in journalism were the late Richard F. Beirne, and W. W.
Archer, Esq. His wife was the daughter of Rev. J. Churchill Gibson, many years a power in the
Episcopal church in Virginia.
[Pages 224-225]
Draper, Henry, was born at Hampden-Sidney, Prince Edward county,
Virginia March 7, 1837, son of Dr. John William Draper. Two years after the birth of Henry his
father took the chair of chemistry in New York University. He first went through the primary
school connected with the university, from which he passed into the preparatory school. At the
age of fifteen he entered the collegiate department, where he was distinguished for excellent
scholarship. By the advice of his father he entered the medical department which his father was
prominent in establishing, and passed all his examinations satisfactorily, but not being of the
age necessary for graduation, his diploma was withheld, and with his brother he studied and
recreated in Europe for one year, and upon his return took his medical degree in 1858. While in
Europe he received an appointment upon the medical staff of Bellevue Hospital, which he held for
sixteen months, but then decided to abandon practice and give himself to teaching. He was elected
professor of natural science in the under graduate department in the New York University in 1860,
and in 1866 became professor of physiology in the medical department, and dean of the faculty. He
resigned in 1873 and taught advanced analytical chemistry in the academical department. Upon the
death of his father in 1882, he was appointed to succeed as professor of chemistry, but previous
to the opening of the last fall term of 1882 he severed his connection with the institution. He
was taught to love science, and was early put upon the line of original investigation in which he
acquired his celebrity. He inherited not only his father's genius, but his spirit and problems of
research. The elder Draper was one of the founders of the recent science of photo-chemistry, and
by his extensive contributions to this subject, he prepared the way for those who entered to reap
the fruits of his labors in the splendid field of spectrum analysis. Henry pursued the same line
of research and by his extension of it will have a permanent place among the discoverers of the
period. His first important scientific investigation was made at the age of twenty, and was
embodied in his graduating thesis at the medical college, on the functions of the spleen,
illustrated by microscopic photography an art then in its infancy. While in Europe he
visited the observatory of Lord Rosse and studied the construction and working of his celebrated
colossal reflecting telescope. On his return home he constructed a telescope of this kind of
fifteen and a half inches aperture and with it took a photograph of the moon fifty inches in
diameter the largest ever made. His success spurred him on, so that he became an adept in
grinding, polishing and testing reflecting mirrors. An equatorial telescope was afterwards
constructed by him with an aperture of twenty-eight inches, for his observatory at
Hastings-on-the-Hudson. The instrument was wholly the work of his own hands, and was designed
mainly to photograph the spectra of the stars. After a long series of experiments, it was
finished in 1872 and was pronounced by President Barnard as "probably the most difficult and
costly experiment in celestial chemistry ever made." He was the first to obtain a photograph of
the fixed lines in the spectra of stars, and he continued the work until he had obtained
impressions of the spectra of more than one hundred stars. In 1874 he was appointed
superintendent of the photographic department of the commission created by congress, for the
purpose of observing the transit of Venus, and received from congress in recognition of his
services, a gold medal bearing the inscription, "He adds lustre to ancestral glory." In 1876 he
made a negative of the solar spectrum, and in the following year announced, "the discovery of
oxygen in the sun by photography, and a new theory of the solar spectrum," the most
brilliant discovery ever made by an American. He was a member of the principal scientific
societies in America and Europe, and in 1882 was awarded the degree of LL. D. by both the
University of Virginia of New York and Wisconsin. Henry Draper died in New York City, November
20, 1882, leaving no children
