Mrs. Emily Tappen Fairchild, widow of Samuel W. Fairchild, noted chemist, died yesterday at her home, 150 East Seventy-third Street, after several months of illness, at the age of 82.
Mrs. Fairchild was the daughter of the late Judge Abraham and Susan Butler Tappen, old residents of the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx, the site of whose homestead and estate is now a part of Poe Park, Grand Concourse and Kingsbridge Road, in which is located the cottage home of Edgar Allen Poe.
Mrs. Fairchild's parents were friends of Poe and his wife, whose home, from 1846 to 1849, was on the north side of Kingsbridge Road. On June 9, 1913, his cottage was moved to its new location as a public monument in Poe Park.
Her father years ago gave a parcel of land from his estate to the Fordham Manor Reformed Church, on which was built a parsonage. The family attended this church for many years.
For many years Mrs. Fairchild was active in church work at St. Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue and Fifty-third Street, where her husband served as vestryman for twelve years.

He was a former president of the Union League Club, and at his death, vice president and a director of Fairchild Brothers & Foster, 70 Laight Street. Long an outstanding figure in the manufacture of chemicals, Mr. Fairchild founded the firm of Fairchild Brothers in 1879. In 1881, with the accession of Macomb G. Foster, the present name of the firm was adopted.
Mrs. Fairchild leaves two daughters and two sons, Mrs. Henry W. Butler and Mrs. Bryon A. Long, wife of Captain Long, U.S.N., retired; B. Tappen Fairchild, who is the oldest son, and William S. Fairchild. The oldest daughter, Mrs. William R. Kirkland, Jr., died four years ago.
