REMAINS OF THE WIFE OF EDGAR A. POE.

Considerable surprise is expressed by many citizens of Fordham, New York, that the committee having the matter of erecting a monument over the remains of the poet Edgar A. Poe and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Clemm, have not taken measures to place the remains of Mrs. Poe by the side of her husband and mother. Mrs. Poe died at Fordham. in the house in which Poe wrote ‘The Raven,’ and her remains were placed in the old family vault of the Valentines, in the Reformed Church at Fordham.”
