In Memory of Susan Howe

With great sadness, the Truro Historical Society Board of Directors announces the death of our
wonderful president, Susan Howe.

Susan brought immense creativity, energy, time and passion to our organization. She loved Truro,
and was totally committed to preserving our history and culture and the well-being of her beloved
town. She was committed to the community and besides the Truro Historical Society, she was very
involved in many organizations, including the Truro Commission on the Disabled, Community
Preservation Committee and the Walsh Committee.

Susan was a bright light in our organization and in our town. She was loved by so many of us, and
we will miss her forever.

Grace Darling was one of the Victorian era’s most celebrated heroines.

The painting of Darling is credited to Thomas Brooks, 1818-1891, no date given. It was sufficiently popular. that it was copied in oils by a French artist, Emile Chasse in 1884, as well as giving rise to the 1873 engraving. The engraving reproduced here was printed in Boston in 1873 from a lithograph.
