Who were Invited to the Dedication Of
the Washington Monument.

tlves OF Gen- washington Is computed from the
list Of those to whom invitations were sent to
attend the dedication of the national Washing
ton monument IN 1885. The commission APP
pointed by Congress to report proper pro-
gram for the occasion to take charge of the
dedicating exercises endeavored as far as
practicable to recognize and compliment the
kith and kin of the illustrious Washington by
sending to them invitations to witness the
ceremonies. The names here presented were
collected by DR.. Toner while in the discharge
of his duty a member of that commission,
and who. with the instinct of an historian, pre-
served them. II is not claimed that the list is
complete or even includes the names of all the
relatives of Washington to whom invitations
were extended. but only those which were pre-
served with their address. Had more of the
kIth and kin been discovered or disclosed
themselves to the commission they would also
have been invited on that occasion. The fire.
quent reference TO the matter of invitations to
the relatives of the family to which the great
Washington belonged to attend the centennial
of the Inauguration of the first President
of the United States TO be observed

1889, makes this list particularly interesting
Just now. 1t is by far the most extensive of the
living relatives of Washington that has been
brought together.
few names not connected by blood or in
termarriage with the Washington stock appear
in the list These are the regents of Mount
Vernon and three or four nOn-ofticial persons
TO whom it was deemed proper to extend the
compliment of an invitation. This list. too,
gives the pOst-ofice address of each individual
and shows how widely the Washington blood is
distributed throughout the United States.
