The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1929-04-26

| Lafayette came with Washington's
nephew, Robert Lewis, to pay his re-
spects to the mother of the greatest
American. She received the courtly
Frenchman in her garden, met all his
fine phrases with dignity and gave
him her blessing when he babe her
goOd-by. AS he left he said to a
friend, 81 have seen the only Roman
matron of my day."
1t was in this little home, too, that
the last scene in the association of the
Washington mother and son took
place. In the spring of 1889. Charles
Thompson. secretary of congress. ar
rived at Mount Vernon to notify
Washington that he had been elected
the first President Of the new nation.
After preparing to accompany ThOmp-
son to New York, then the capital of
the United States, Washington rode to
Fredericksburg to say good-by to his
mother. Both knew that this would
probably be the last time they would
see each other, for Mary Washington
was then past eighty years of age and
suffering from cancer. After an affec-
tionate greeting between mother and
son, so says one account, Washington
said, "The people, Madam, have been
pleased, with the most fiattering unan-
unity to elect me to the chief magis-
tracy of the United States; but before
| can assume the functions of that Of
flee / have come to bid you an affec
tionate farewell. So soon as the pub
lie business which must necessarily be
encountered in arranging a new gov
eminent, can be disposed of, | shall
hasten to Virginia"
"YOu will see me no more" she in
terrupted him, my great age, and the
disease which is rapidly approaching
my vitals, warned me that / shall not
be long in this world l trust in God.
am somewhat prepared for better.
But go, George, fulfill the high desti-
MES which Heaven appears to assign
you. Go, my son, and may that Heav-
ems and your Mothers blessing be
with you always" She died on Au-
gust 81, 1889, and was buried in
spot on the Kenmore estate which she
herself had selected.
For many years the Mary Washing
ton home belonged to various owners.
In 1890 an effort was made to take
it down and erect it again at the
Worlds Columbian exposition in Chi
cago. The protest which this plan
aroused resulted in the purchase of
the house by the Association for the
Preservation of Virginian Antiquities.
Since that time it has been in charge
of a Fredericksburg branch of the as
sociation which has opened 1t to the
| public. Last year it was the scene
of special observance Of Mothers
Day, and future years may see this
spot become a national shrine on
Mothers Day each year, when all
Americans join the women of Virginia
in honcying the mother of the first and
| greatest American.
