Forty-three years ago the tomb and
home Of the greatest patriot. soldier,
and statesman in the modern annals
OF history, were falling into decay, and
the fact suggested the formation OF a
society Of ladies for the preservation
OF those national relies. Miss Anne
Cunningham first conceived this idea,
and. though an invalid went to work
with great enthusiasm and success. In
1855 the society was formed with Miss
Cunningham as the first regent, and
with vice regents In twenty-five states.
The object was 10 purchase Mount Yer

were raised by Edward Everett.
Gradually the tomb and mansion were
restored and Mount Vernon became a
shrine for patriotic pilgrimage. During
the past year the han has been restored
