Oh MRS: Martha GUSTS, who, when widowed, became the
wire OF George Washington. 1t is not the intention to
make a neurology of this writing, but it is barely pos
sible that these two inscriptions, which appear on tab
lets inside the Bruton church, extoning the virtues of
the dead, may have a living interest. Here is one of
them:
Near this marble lyes We Honble, Daniel Paeke. of
We county of Essex, Esqr, who was one of his masters
counsenors and sometime Secretary of the COLONY of
Virga, He dyed We 9Th of March, Ammo 1879. His
other felecityes were crowned by his happy marridg with
Rebecka, the daughter of George Evelyn, of the County
of Surry, Esqr. She dyed We End Of January, Ammo 1872,
at Long Ditton, in we County of Surry, and left behind
her a most hopeful progeny"
The other tablet bears this:
"MDCCLlI. Inscribed to the memory Of Doctor Will
liam Cooke, an English physician, born of reputable par
ents MDCLXXI, at Sudbury in Suffolk, and educated at
Queens College, Cambridge. He was learned and po-
lite, of undisputed skill in his profession and unbounded
generosity in his practice, which mutitudes yet alive
can testify. He was many years of the Council, and
Secretary Of State for this Colony in the reign of Queen
Anne and Of King George. He died suddenly, sitting a
judge upon the bench of the General Court, in the cap.
itol, MDCCXX. His Hon. friend Alexr. Spottswood,
Esqr, then Govnrp with the principal gentlemen of the
country, attended his funeral, and weeping, saw the
corpse inferred at the west end Of the alter in this
church"
Almost in the shadow Of Bruton church stands the
Wythe house, for some time the headquarters of George
Washington during the siege of Yorktown, which, with
its historic memories, lies only a few miles away. The
seeds of history were sown thick hereabouts.
Just back of the church and at a point easily reached
from the Duke of Gloucester street. stands the old Pow
der Horn" built by Governor Spottswood in TIA. This
magazine, put up by a British governor, was used after
ward by Washington to store powder, which subse-
quently was rammed into cannon to hurl shot at Corn
wallis behind the breastworks of Yorktown. The Vir-
ginia Society for the Preservation of Antiquities has
restored the Powder Horn, and 1t is now a museum for
relics of the past.
1t is hard work to get away from Williamsburg, for
there is something holding interest at every turn of the
streets and the lanes with the ancient and high-sound-
ing names. A resident Of the town said that five presi-
dents had worshiped in the Bruton church and the Wis
itor didn't want to get away until he had seen where

Cruise, carbine in hand, stood up a fair and easy

a rock beyond the stream bed and a rifle barrel appeared
aimed in the direction of the cavalryman. Before the
weapon cracked Cruise, one of the best SHOTS IN tne

Apache's aim, They reached the breastworks, the Off

there were no tangible memorials of Pccahontas in ex-

her baptism is preserved in Bruton church, williams

town was abandoned. The Pocahontas font has served

it, but when the old jamestown church is restored there

There are three stories Of the jamestown church
tower. In the first story are doorways, arched windows
are in one part Of the second story and ~loopholes are
in the third story, and to these last the greatest interest
attaches. The %loopholes appear on all sides of the
tower and they were used as embrasures for ~protruding
cannon in times Of Indian attack. Figures are dry things
at best, but it is worth noting that this tower remnant
of an early wilderness edifce is IS feet square and SO
feet high. The structure is %crumbling at the top, but

secure.

water-from jamestown island to Williamsburg. James
town is largely memory, while Williamsburg is both
memory and reality. The past and the present meet in
It's streets and there is a subtle blending Of the two into
a midtime atmosphere. Happily the virginians have
held to the love Of the old things. 1t is worth something
to know that the main street still is known-see the
corner signs-as the Duke Of Gloucester street. 1t is a
noble thoroughfare, whatever may be said of the one
for whom it was named, and on it stands a courthouse
designed by Sir Christopher Wren. There are things
worth while in Williamsburg.
At the site OF jamestown the visitor is told that the
baptismal font that held the water that washed Poca.
hontas' heathenism out of her had been taken to Will
liamsburg. There it is in the old Bruton church and it
still holds its age and water well.
Bruton church, by the way, is also on the Duke of
Gloucester street, and it is an appealing structure. Who
ever the architect was, he has the spirit which makes
for beauty. The building is clad with the ivy of Eng.
land, which grows and thrives in this latitude. The

Excavations have been made recently at jamestown

visitor Of the past. Some Of the old gravestones have
been resurrected and restored and one may read the
names Of a few of those who died in the famine time, or
who met death in the early and almost constant war
fare with the Indians. The Gods acre. that outlies the
old church tower is in a fair state of preservation and
it holds an interest in no way second to the interest

though, for reasons not thoroughly understood, the rock
of Plymouth has overshadowed the island OF the James
through all the years of American history.
Originally jamestown island was a peninsula, but the
river has carried many acres Of the land down to the
sea, cutting a channel through and isolating the site
of the settlement. Material for the repair of history

If a loyal Williamsburger lends his sightseeing aid
you will not be allowed to leave the oldest incorporated
city in America" until you have visited the College OF
William and Mary, which stands at the head Of the
Duke Of Gloucester street-you can't leave this thorough
fare in the lurch IL you try-and which is the Oldest col
lege in America, barring only Harvard. The little guide
book Of the place tells that among the alumni Of this
ancient and honorable college may be numbered three
presidents Of the United States, IL cabinet officers, IL
members of the continental congress, among them its
first president, Peyton Randolph; four justices of the
supreme court of the United States, including Chief JUS
tice Marshall, together with a long list of senators,
United States ENJOYS and ministers, governors military
and naval officers and five signers of the declaration OF
independence" The thought on reading the graduate
list was that the last ought to have come first.

The blunt truth is that when you get into one of these
history-teeming places you are lost in wonder that SO
many things worth remembering by posterity could have
happened and that so many men could have had a hand
in their happening. They made history fast in Virginia
and they made plenty of it.
