The late Susanna, Dowager Duchess of Roxburghe, 1895. Engraving from a photograph. 'The heartfelt regret which the Queen expressed in the Court Circular in recording the death, on May 7, of Susanna Stephenia, Dowager Duchess of Roxburghe, is shared by all who knew this estimable and charming lady. Her Majesty was intimately acquainted with the Duchess, for she had acted as the Queen's Lady-of-the-Bed chamber so long ago as 1865. She was the mother-in-law, too, of Anne Emily, Dowager Duchess of Roxburghe, who has been Mistress of the Robes for several years. Indeed, some confusion has been caused by the similarity of title of these two peeresses, each so well known at Court. The lady who has just passed away so unexpectedly was the daughter of Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Dalbiac, K.C.B., and married, in 1836, the sixth Duke of Roxburghe, who died in 1879. The Dowager Duchess was cultivated, benevolent, end delightful; and the Queen considered her one of the limited circle of her personal friends. It was a great sorrow when her eldest son, the seventh Duke of Roxburghe, died in 1892. Her surviving children are Lord Charles Innes-Ker and Lady Grant-Suttie. The Dowager Duchess received from the Queen the Royal Order of Victoria and Albert'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
