1902. is good company and delights in showing
visitors through his mansion. He is Pennsyl-

the Union Army and lost leg at the battle

was also in the Northern Army, was slightly

H Kyner is fast approaching his s8th birth

OF course, this old structure has undergone
some changes, but this is only natural with
building nearly 200 years old. However, the
changes have been comparatively slight and
the room where Lafayette received the guests
IS almost the same as it was in 1924. Here
the large mantlepiece is especially attractive,
is the fireplace which measures feet
in height by a little over 5 feet in length.
The walls are paneled and at one time, it is
said. these places were decorated with scenes
by some able but unknown artist; they are now
tastily papered. The house is well furnished
with furniture in keeping with a Colonial
home, and it has just enough ground around it
to show it off to advantage. 1t is about what
would be two good city blocks away from the
Peace Cross at Bladensburg, along the Crane
Highway then to the right about one block.
The Johnson home is close by.
THERE is so much to be said Of this old
village that justice cannot be done to it
in one short story and of course the writer in
tends to return to this subject at some date
in the near future.
In the meantime, he still has space to
mention some of the other old buildings which
were occupied by important and prosperous
men in the early days of the Republic and
perhaps even before that time.

was afectionate and impressive in the extreme.
After many embraces were exchanged, the gen.
eral was transferred to the elegant landau
provided by the city for his use, drawn by four
fine grays, in which he was accompanied by
Maj Gen. Brown and Commodore Tingey,
member of the committee, and his son. George
Washington Lafayette; his secretary and Mr..
Custis of Arlington, who were placed in an
other carriage provided for the purpose. -
"A national salute from the artillery of Capt.
Burch's company of artillery, posted on Mary
land avenue, announced the generals arrival
at the line of the city, which was followed by
national salutes from the navy yard and the
military arsenal, the last of which was from
field pieces captured during the Revolutionary.
War at Bennington, Saratoga and yorktown.
. On rising to the extensive plain which
stretches eastward from the Capitol to the
Anacostia River, the general found himself in
front of the most brilliant military spectacle
which our city ever witnessed being a body of
1900 troops composed entirely of volunteer
companies of the city,"
1T IS likely that it was not long after this
that he visited Judge Stephen at Bladens-
burg where, according to tradition a big re-
ception was held in his honor in the living
room. or as they probably called it then, the
parlor. And in those days, too, by the way,
they not only called the room where they en-
tertained company the pa-lor, but it per-
fectly proper to drink out of ones saucer,
and in order that the tabecloth might not
become soiled from the bottom of the cup
while the saucer was in use, a smaller dish,
which was a part of many dinner sets in
those days. was given each person at the
table.
1t is said the numerous guests who went
to Bostock upon this occasion to meet the
Marquis de Lafayette, entered by the front
door. and after greeting the French patriot
in the main room, left by the rear door. In
deed, Lafayette well treated that the
writer would not be surprised to learn that
he repeated his visit there frequently, for he

and down in the churchyard Of Addison
Chapel, not far from Seat Pleasant lies this
pioneer Marylander, his tomb being inscribed:

CHRISTOPHER LOWNDEs. Esq,
who departed this life at an advanced age,
on the 9Th day Of January, 1885,"
On one side of the grave Of Mr.. Lowndes Is
the grave of Elizabeth, his wife, who died on
September 10, 178s and then come the tombs
of other members of the Lowndes family.

aged As years,
and also of
BENJAMIN STODDERT. who died
the 18th day of December, 1913,
aged 81 years.
BENJAMIN STODDERT died in Bostock,
- where he spent much of his time when
not living in Georgetown, and it is likely
that his wife inherited the estate from her
father, MI Lowndes 1t will be recalled that,
in addition to Benjamin Stoddert being the
first Secretary of the Navy. he was also one
of President Washingtons confidants in treat
ing with the original proprietors of land de-

About 1922 this Colonial home was sold to
Judge John Stephen and passed to his heirs,
one of whom, Nicholas Carroll Stephen,
Quired the interest of others and resided here
for many years. The present owner, James
H. Kyner, purchased the property from Mrs.
Julianna Jennings Brice Stephen Dieudonne,
who inherited the place from her father Mich
olas Carroll Stephen. Her grandfather, Judge
John Stephen, was the son of Rev. John

Judge John Stephen married Julianna Jen-

When Lafayette visited this country in 1824-25,
through some friendship gained in the Revolu-
tionary War with the Brces, he made an early
visit to Judge Stephen at Bostock.
AN ACCOUNT of his arrival in Washington
~ on october II, 1924, is printed in the
National Intelligencer of that date which says:
Gen. Lafayette arrived in the City of WASH
fngton, according to previous arrangements,
about l o'clock Tuesday. He left Baltimore
the afternoon of Monday, with his son
and secretary. accompanied by a part Of the
Baltimore Committee of Arrangements, Col
Dickerson and Col. Lloyd, the aides of the
Governor of Maryland, and escorted by Capt
HollingSworthS handsome cavalry company Of
grays from Elk Ridge. Fourteen or fifteen
miles from Baltimore, at O'Clock in the eve
ming they were met by the 1st Bladensburg
Troop of Cavalry, commanded by Capt Sprigg
Qate Governor of the State of Maryland), and
the general and suite were escorted by this
fine company (the Elk Ridge troop having taken
leave) to Rossburg, which place they reached
about 10 o'clock at night, having been joined
at Vansville by Capt Snowdons company of

made for his comfortable accommodation.
About O'Clock Tuesday morning the
