Sketch of Hi.Lif..

states army, and president of the
Washington and Lee University, was
born at Fortress Monroe, Va. on Sep
tember is, 1892, while his father Cap
tain Robert Edward Lee. was on enEi-
neering duty there His mother Mary
Custis Lee, was the daughter OF George
Washington Parke Custis, the adopted
son of Washington, and the owner of
Arlington
The highest praise that can be Civ
en- the mother of Custis Lee is to say
that she was in every way fitted to
share the fortune. brighten the life
and rear the children of Robert Ed
ward Lee. or the latter we feel 1t
needless to speak at all.
The Lees can trace their family back
to long line OF disting uished ances-
tors, ono gencalogist tracing them
back TO Robert the Bruce, of Scotland: :
but the earliest ancestor in America
was Richard Lee. of Essex. Eng, who
came to Virginia during the reign of
