Janet Montgomery Chapter. D. A. r.,
celebrated Flag day at Clean Drinking
Manor, Jones Mill road. In spite of the
long continued rainy weather, a number
OF the chapter members were present
from Rockville, Bethesda and Kerfsing-
ton. with guests from Washington and
Bethesda. The old house looked quite
gay with the flag draped over its doors.
and Miss Jones, lineal descendant of
hostess, showing points of interest about
the house and grounds. The history of
the old place was traced by Mrs. William
Talbot of Rockville. from Ihe time of
the original grant to John Coates. who
took possession I'm 1899, to the present
owner, Mr.. Nicholas Jones.
The house will soon be but a mass of
ruins if it is not rescued. Its location
Is ideal for summer chapter or club
house. not only for Montgomery county
organizations. but also for those in Wash
ington. There are SO few places of real
historic interest left in the county that
those who are interested in preserving
such reminders of a past time are anxious
that 1t become the property of some
patriotic organization in the immediate
future.
The chapter will adjourn for the sum-
mer after its next meeting, July 5. In
Rockville.
