China Notes Leaves From the Diary of a Former Marshall Young Lady
Excerpts from Miss Mary C. Robinsons diary dated September 1885 describe Tao Tung Tang's death and funeral processions along the Yangtze. The entry details imperial funeral plans, local alerts, smallpox and chickenpox cases, vaccinations, and a sailor named Alfred Haw thanking a lady doctor for arm treatment. The narrative blends travel observations with personal health and gratitude notes as the Jacksons depart for home.

Great Warrior Funeral Customs On the Hooghly River
The account describes a Chinese household scene with medical efforts, charity events, and a funeral procession for Tro Tung Tang on the river Hupeh. The canopied steamer, firing volleys, banners, and soldiers lined the bank mark the public mourning. A Chinese burial in Christian rites is contrasted with ancestral practices, and Rev. Woodall leads the ceremony.
