The Mother
of George =
Washington

T IKE other mothers of great men,
IL Mary Ball Washington sought di-
vine guidance through prayer and
through her Bible and other deeply
religious writings. Her associations
from early childhood were of deeply
religious nature, for the early settlers
stanchly adhered to church doctrine
and to the established custom of fam
lily prayers.
Mary Ball was imbued with rever-
ence and religious fervor. This, sup
plemented by adequate training in do
nestle routine and her sense of re-
sponsibility for the duties of home
life, admirably fitted her for the role
OF motherhood.
1t was in 1880 that she came as
bride to the Washington home at
Bridges Greek, later known as Wake
field, which had been without a mis-
tress since the death of Jane Butler.
Captain Washington's first wife and
mother of his three children.
The greatest joy and pride Of Mary
Washington's life came on February
%, 1882, when her first born was
placed in her arms. She chose for her
child the name of George in loving re-
gard for her guardian, George Esk-
ridge, an eminent lawyer of Virginia.
George was only eleven when his ia
Their died but upon him she placed the
old patriarchial duty Of saying grace
at table and prayers at night and
morning. From this early age his
mother expected him to assume and
carry such responsibility as the cir
cumstances of life brought to him.
Under her pious guidance he could
not have evaded any service that she
deemed his duty.
She was a wise and loving mother
who set her face against every di-
version in life to devote herself en-
tirely to her children. Her entire in
terest vas conferred in and revOlved
around the care and development Of
the best that was in them.
The steady rise of her first born
from one position of responsibility to
another Of leadership was accepted by
the Spartan" mother as matter of
course, as a part of his duty. She is
never recorded as praising him. She

burg. There his father died, in 1743.
His half brother, Lawrence Washing
ton, with whom George was great
favorite, inherited Mount Vernon; an
other half brother, Augustine, Jr., re-
ceived Wakefield as his patrimony and
George was to have still another farm
when he grew up. Mrs. Washington
retained the King George county es-
tate.
AS there was good school near
Wakefield, and none near his mothers
estate, George spent much of his time
at Wakefield until he was sixteen
years old, when he returned to Mount
Vernon, Lawrence, upon his death,
having left him the estate.
Incidental to the restoration of
Wakefield there has been a better ap-
probation gained of the circumstances
of WashingtoI's family. Much of our
own American story has grown out of
the I'd Weems biography, published
shor'y after Washington's death.

tured Washington as springing from a
lowly lineage and having that sort of
a cultural background we'll calculated
to produce a man who would lead the
revolt against monarchial oppression.
Family of Aristocrats.
The truth of the matter as these re-
searches show, is that Washington's
forbears were intense royalists and
closely allied to the house of Stuart.

Standard of Excellence

Washington was born a Virginian
and died an American. The last pub
lie address he made to his country
men contained an appeal to exalt,
american" which belonged to them
in their national capacity, above all
appellations derived from local dis
examinations. The name that he left
is not only incomparably the greatest
to which all classes and sections of his
own country can as yet pay equal trib-
ute; but for a century and half it
has been to the whole world a byword
for liberty and unselfish public service
and self-abnegation. - Detroit Free

took his superb valor under fire, his
unfailing patriotism, all in his days
work. Her fear for his safety was
put aside in the challenge she gave
herself-"The mothers of brave men
must themselves be brave"
General Washington's election to the
Presidency, the first Executive of the
young Republic, brought no added ella
ton to his mother. 1t was his duty.
She saw nothing else for him to do.
When he came to tell her of it, all his
future honors were Swallowed by her
realization that this was her last meet
ing with the child Of her heart. Her
mother love sought to enfold him in
all the love, protection, and security
that her prayers and blessings could
invoke.
Mary Ball Washington typiies the
highest example Of American mother
hood and is a most illustrious proto-
type of Colonial home maker. Like
Martha of old, she attended well to
the ways Of her household.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1932-02-18

In fact, 1t was their close adherence
to the royal household and the cOnse-
quent oppression of the Cromwell fol-
lowers that forced Col. John Wash
ington to leave his rich estates in Eng
land and flee to the shores of Vir-
ginia.
Thomas Washington, an uncle of the
founder of the American family, was
attached to the court of Charles |,
which gave the family secure social
standing in England. He accompanied
his sovereign to Spain, where he died
and was buried on the grounds of the
British embassy. A brother of Thomas,
and father of the man who fed to
America, was Rev. Lawrence Wash
ington, proctor of Oxford university,
one of the chief royalist strongholds
in England. AS far back as the family
history goes in England, the Washing
tons belonged to the aristocratic land
ed gentry and were fervent supporters
of the throne. So, too, with the
American branch. At Wakefield, in
Washington's youth, the stables held
upward of thirty riding horses.
The restoration of Wakefield gives
the nation another Washington shrine

which he retired after his years Of
honorable service both in war and
peace had won for him the title. ia
