"This house is where Washington's
courtship took place, and where he re-
sided when he first married I do not
permit it to be occupied by any one, nor
the grounds around"
On that same date, in the dead of
night, he again wrote from the White
House: II first spent some time at
Washington's house, or at least his wife's,
and afterward rode to the front, visiting,
in the course of my ride, the old church
(St. Peters, where he was married It is
an old brick church with a rather pre-
tentlouS tower, more remarkable for its
situation than anything else. AS
I happened to be there for a few mo-
ments I could not help kneeling at the
chancel and praying that I might serve
my country as truly as he did"

short, but vivid, description of Washing
tons wedding in these words: "The
ceremony took place at the residence of
the bride, in the good old hospitable style
of Virginia. amid joyous assembly of
relations and friends" However, in q
quaint old book published in 1852 by
Hervey we read that 'the ceremony is
reported to have occurred at the White
House. This information was
gathered from old family servants"
Another writer Of that period says:
washington resigned his commission as
commander in chief of the Virginia
forces on December %, 1853, and was
married one week later. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. David Mos
sum, rector of st. Peters Episcopal
Church, in New Kent County, in the
church where her (Marthas) first mar
rlage had been solemnized"
In the Hon. J. T. HeadleyS Life OF
Washington published in 1860, we find
Evening star., 1931-12-27

COL. JOHN cambridge, the father
of Martha Washington, was directly
descended from highly respected Welsh
clergyman, who had been among the
early settlers of Virginia, and it seems
likely that the family was aware of this
old Danish custom. Martha was born in
May, 1882, the same year Washington
was born, and was but three months his
Junior. She has been described as being
short, slightly plump, with dark hair,
gray eyes, and of very engaging per-
sonality. Martha Dandridge was first
married at the tender age of II to Col.
Daniel Parke Gusts, a rich New Kent
County landowner. But, alas before
eight short years had passed she became
a widow. During her widowhood she
lived on at the White House, as the Gus
tis home was called and here most peo-
pie believe she was married to Washing
ton.

onel, 6 feet 3 inches in
height, towering above all
around, and the beauti-
full bride radiant with hap

There are many other
ancient and honorable au-
thorities who have claimed
that Washington was mar
ried in the happy brides
home, but there are just as
many who insist that St.
Peters Church was the
scene of this historic event,
even though no church rec-
ord has ever been found to
either refute or substan-
tiate their assertions. As
James Walter states in his
book, which he published
in 1887: "The exact date
and place of the marriage
cannot be found among
the records of the veStry
of st. Peters Church.
DESPITE the lack Of
material evidence, DR..
George Boiling Lee, the
only living grandson of
Gen. Robert E. Lee, and a
descendant of Washing
tons stepson, says he is
sure that his grandfather,
Gen. Lee, thought WASH
lngton was married in the
church. At the time of
the Civil War it seems there
was a general belief among
the residents of New Kent
County that st. Peters was
the place of Washington's
marriage. Gen. George B.
Mcclellan spoke of 1t as
such when he had his
headquarters at the White
House just after his ILL

IT, according to the calendar we now use
Mrs. Washington, herself, according to
the writings of her grandson, George
Washington Parke Custis, claimed that
she was married on the anniversary of
the birth of Benjamin Franklin, which
was January II.
But where was this illustrious couple
married? Prof. David M. Matteson, as
sistant historian of the George Washing
ton Bicentennial Commissions in an in
terview with this writer says that the
commission is inclined to believe the
ceremony took place at the home of the
bride, because of an old Danish custom
which forbade widow to be married in
church or in white dress and a veil.
In keeping with this idea, Prof. Matteson
puts little stock in the ancient and elab-
crate descriptions of Martha Washing
tons wedding gown, which was generally
thought to have been white.

people will begin
~ their Nation wide
celebration of the
200th anniversary of
the birth of George WASH
lngton. For many months
eminent historians have
been studying the yellowed
pages of old books and
half = forgotten documents
in the eager hope that they
might learn more of the
man who founded this
great Republic. Recently
new light has been shed on
many events in the life of
Washington, but the exact
time and place of his mar
riage are still debatable
questions, just as they have
been for more than a CEN
tury.
This important wedding
took place in New Kent
County, Virginia, some time
during the cold, blustery
month of January, 1859
just 173 years ago. His
torians seem to be agreed
upon these two general
statements, but whether
the ceremony took place on
the 9th or the 7th of the
month, and in the brides
home, or in old st. Peters
Church, has never been
definitely ascertained.
Jared Sparks, one of
Washington's earliest biog-
rapherS, established the
date of the wedding as
January 6, 1859, and most
histories show that date.
However, the Gregorian
calendar was introduced
into England in 1852, seven
years before WaShington's
marriage, and history shows
us that the colonies were
slow to adopt this confus-
ing new calendar. At that
time there was a difference
OF II days between the old
and new calendars. The
historian, Losing, gives the
date of the wedding as
January 6 (old style),"
which would be January
II, according to the calendar

ALASKA JUNEAU MINE
 BREAKS ALL RECORDS

Production of the Alaska Juneau mine to the end of August broke all former records of that famous prop erty with . net yield of $1, ,127, 400. according to press reports.
 The August output was $320, ,50O, a gain of per cent over August, 193O, while the net surplus before de- duction for depletion, depreciation and taxes of the company was $144,- 800, an advance of 43.8 per cent over the same month last year. The net so far this year was about equal to the net for the the best preceding calendar year, which was about 91,- 100, ,OO0. Even if the next few months does not exceed the average made in the past three years, the net for the current year is considered certain to exceed $1, 500, 900 if operations for the closing third of the year continue at the rate set in the ffrst two-thirds.
