SEVER, Anne Elizabeth Parsons, benefactor, born in Boston, Massachusetts, 29 May, 1810; died there, 15 December, 1879. She was educated in Boston, and married James Warren Sever, who at his death left a note or niemorandum requesting his wife to give certain sums to Harvard university after her decease. Accordingly, she bequeathed $100.000 to Harvard to build a hall for undergraduates, which should be called by her name, $20,000 for the purchase of books for its library, and $20,000 for the general use of the corporation without restriction as to its use. She also willed $10.000 to the Boston children's hospital, and $5,000 each to five benevolent institutions in that city, $5.000 to the New England historic-genealogical society, and an equal sum to the General theological library, to the Boston training-schools for nurses, and the Connecticut retreat, for the insane.
