has occurred of Eleanor, Lady Yarrow, at Dalguise, Monkstown, Co. Dublin.
She was the daughter of Mr. M. Goodwin Barnes, Foxley, Bishop's Stortfort,
Herts, and was in her eighty-third year. English by birth, Lady Yarrow was
Irish by adoption, citizenship and residence. With her husband, Sir Alfred
Yarrow, F.R.S., the noted scientist, inventor, ship-builder and
philanthropist, she spent a holiday in Ireland every year. After her
husband's death she settled in this country, first in West Cork, and later,
at Journey's End, Baily, Howth, where she resided until five or six years
ago, when she went to live with her friends, Dr. and Mrs. Colm A. McDonnell,
at Dalguise. Forty years ago, Lady Yarrow was a heroic fighter in the
campaign for woman suffrage and underwent many hardships for that cause. She
was a convinced anti-Partitionist. She was a writer and her published works
include a biography of her husband and a series of sketches about canoeing,
which was formerly one of her hobbies. Lady Yarrow was also a gifted pianist
and studied under Paderewski. She was received into the Church at St. Mary
of the Angels, Church Street, Dublin, in 1940. Senator Margaret M. Pearse
and Mr. Frank Fahy, T.D., then Ceann Comhairle, were her sponsors. She
became a Tertiary of St. Francis. Lady Yarrow is survived by her sister,
Mrs. C. Cooke; her step-daughter, the Viscountess Dawson of Penn; her step-son,
Sir Harold Edgar Yarrow, Bart., Craigend Castle, Stirlingshire, Scotland,
and by many nephews and nieces (click on image 7 above for photo) -

Guinness. Another survivor of the past was a 6 h.p. 1901 De Dion, owned and
driven by Mr. D. Dickson, Clare Hall, Belcamp, Raheny, who was accompanied
