London (England) Weekly Times

[Christian Scientists who were privileged to become acquainted with Lord Dunmore in his various visits to this country, were quick to recognize his integrity; his many lovable qualities as a man and a Christian; his intense devotion to Christian Science and his loyalty to Mrs. Eddy as its Discoverer and Founder, and they became greatly attached to him. His untiring and enthusiastic labors for our Cause, and thus for humanity, have borne rich fruit in Great Britain and have endeared his name to all Christian Scientists.—Editor Sentinel.]

We regret to announce that Lord Dunmore died very suddenly early on Tuesday morning at the Manor-house, Frimley, near Camberley.

Charles Adolphus Murray, Earl of Dunmore, Viscount of Fincastle, and Baron Murray of Blair, Moulin, and Tullimet, all in the peerage of Scotland, and Baron Dunmore in the peerage of the United Kingdom, was the only son of the sixth earl by his marriage with Catherine, fourth daughter of the eleventh Earl of Pembroke. This lady's mother was the only daughter of Simon, Count Woronzow, a Russian nobleman, and one of Lord Dunmore's sisters, the Dowager Lady Elphinstone, has the name of Woronzow. Lord Dunmore was the nephew of Sidney Herbert, the statesman, afterwards Lord Herbert of Lea, and first cousin of the present Lord Pembroke, Lady de Gray, and the late Sir Michael Herbert, British Ambassador in Washington. Lady Augusta Murray, who was married in 1793 to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, was his greataunt.
