--- "Clifton Society" 12 Jul 1906, page 6:
Miss Charlotte Somerset, although she had just completed her 91st year, was wonderful up to the time of her death; she was keenly alive to all the topics of the day, and had all her faculties unimpaired, including wonderful eyesight, never having had to use spectacles. Miss Somerset's death occurred quite suddenly on Tuesday last. This even will be much regretted by many friends who used to visit the two sisters, the younger of whom, Miss Katherine Somerset, survives, at their pleasant house in Chesterfield-street. The daughters of the first Lord Raglan, the famous Crimean general, and great-nieces of the first Duke of Wellington, the Misses Somerset have been links with the past that, at the beginning of the 20th century, seems quite heroic.
--- "Sheffield Evening Telegraph" 09 Jul 1906, page 4:
Lord Raglan's aunt, the Hon. Charlotte Somerset, was buried at Kensal Green Cemetery on Saturday. Deceased was born in Brussels two days [sic] before the Battle of Waterloo, in which her father, the first Lord Raglan, lost an arm.
--- "Globe" 06 Jul 1906, page 8:
The funeral service for the Hon. Charlotte Somerset will be held at Grosvenor Chapel, South Audley-street, at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the interment will take place at Kensal-green.
