very great pleasure to be able to throw
together few facts which have been
able to CLEAN concerning a life whose
self-abnegation, grand patriotism and
high purpose may, | trust, prove an
incentive to the generation in whose
hands lies the future of our well-bc-
loved state.
Il wish just here to acknowledge
my Indebtedness 10 Miss Mary Miller
Of Winthrop College, class OF 1893, to
whose admirable sketch of Miss Cum

the following article:
When | was a very young girl, |
used to see among my mothers papers
members Of the Mount Vernon associa-
ton, for the purchase of the home
and tomb of Washington.
"The surcst test Of Washington's s
greatness, it has always seemed to
me, Is that 1t stood the close scrunity
OF his own and succeeding generations.
There were no mists between him and
them, which, like the vapors Of the
Broken, could magnify his proper
tions. He stood face to face with
lis people, and was recognized by his
own contemporaries high among the
immortals.
so to the young people Of my day
the sight Of those certificates was an
! enthusiasm and an inspiration. Then
when we heard Mr.. Everetts grand
Grafton, and knew all this was due to
the efforts Of feeble young South
Carolina woman, 1t we'll may be mag
ined to what heights our admiration
: for that young woman rose.
Few Of us have not been touched
as We sailed down the Potomac and
heard the tolling Of the bell and saw
every hat lifted as we passed Mount
Vernon. Like the calling Of the name
Of La Tour d'Auvergne, when the roll
call Of the French grenadiers was
sounded, 1T is monument more last
ing than marble, more durable than
tribute Of prose or verse. 1t was this
incident, we are told, which directed
the life purpose Of Ann PAMELA Cum

spot her mother said to her: What
/ a beautiful thing 1t would be IL the
women Of the country could organize
and purchase Mount Vernon and hold
/ 1t always for the nation The young
| woman istantfy took up the idea and

carried it out with such zeal and
perseverance that it's success was soon
assured.
when it became known that con-
gross had virtually declined to pur-
chase and preserve Mount Vernon in
December, 1853, Miss Cunningham be-
gan her work. The Washington heirs
felt obliged to sell and offered the
estate for 100000. Her stirring Sc
ries Of articles, signed "A Southern
Matron,' aroused the country and in
1881 the women OF the United States,
under her guidance, formed the
Mount Vernon association. 1t was in
corporated, charter secured and
negotiations entered into for the pur-
chase of the house and its cnyironS
and 200 acres surrounding the estate.
The inspiration was caught by the
Hon. Edward Everett, then consid
cred the gratcst orator in America
His grand oration on Washington was
delivered by him in many towns and
cities and brought into the treasury
OF the association about $4,000. Pri-
yate subscriptions in large amounts

were given and in 1860 the work was
done, and Ann Pamela Cunningham
saw the sacred spot in the custody

the war for State rights the work
which mad been begun OF restoring
the place, came to a stop. When the
war was over not only was the work
Of rehabilltating the house and
grounds to be done, but it was found
that there was debt on the estate.
And SO 1t seemed as II the life
work of Ann Pamela Cunningham had
to be done over.
She was equal to the emergency.
The council Of Mount Vernon, formed
OF vice regents, representing the 13
| original States, with Miss Cunningham
as regent in spite Of the desolation
which reigned around, set to work
again. In 1868 the undaunted regent

$1,000 to repair the home and tomb
