GRAVE OF WASH|NGT0N'S
NIECE BADLY NEGLECTED
Body of Betty Carter, Daughter Of
Generals Only Sister, Now
Lies in Pasture.

Attention has been called to the fact
that the grave of the niece Of George
Washington is wholly neglected, being
n a private burying ground on a Vir-
ginia farm. r. W. Farrar in a letter to
The Star explained that while visiting
at the farm of Maurice Castleman on
the Shenandoah river. about five miles
from Bluemont. he found the old grave,
now nearly obliterated
Mr. Farrar says. in part:
"It is where there is a crossing on the
Shenandoah river now crossed by a
bridge, but where there was formerly q
ferry and is known as Castlemans
Ferry. and is at the west side of old
Smokers gap. In a pasture on that farm
is a private burying yard, and among
marble slab on which is inscribed: !:
Here lies the mortal remains of Betty
Carter, daughter Of Betty Lewis. only
sister of Gen. George Washington"
Graves Are Not Protected.
The graves are in pasture not pro-
tected by any fence, and many large
trees are growing among the graves,
and the cattle and horses congregate
beneath those trees and have trampled
the graves so that they are hardly diA-
cernible. The thought struck me that 1t
was odd that the grave of the only
daughter of the only sister of George
Washington should not at least be In
some wise protected. and at the same
time 1 was somewhat surprised to know
that George Washington had sister.
