Among them are Edison w. Briggs

have been sold of from time to time
for neighborhood residential property
and for the erection of the Southeast

constitute the largest piece of So

tells something of the atmosphere Of

Mrs. Carolyn Gangwer Caughey. wife
Of John Wilson Caughey, died Friday
at lockwood Manor, her country home
on Conduit road, after a brief illness.
She was prominent in District pa
triotic circles and at one time was one
of the city's most extensive property
holders.
Mrs. Caughey was born in Tiffn,
Ohio, where her grandparents were
pioneer settlers and where her father,
the late Charles Dennis Gangwer,
founded Heidelburg University.
While studying art in Pittsburgh in
1892 she met and married Mr.. Caughey
After travelling for several years, they
settled in Washington, in which she
always took a keen interest.
In recent years Mrs Caughey had
given a great deal of attention to bet
ter designed and better built homes.
She also carried on many benefactions
Of which but few Of her friends were
aware.
Mrs. Caughey was member of the
English Reformed Church, Daughters
of the American Colonists, American
Huguenot Society, National Society,

ton, Daughters of 1872, the District

and which her father willed at his
death to his oldes4 son, John Peabody
Hole Mason.
At the time of Mrs. Briggs birth
her mother and father were learning
to sing Annie Laurie" together, SO
they named their little new daugh-
ter Bonnie Annie Laurie, although, as
Mrs. Briggs humorously tells you, II
had the good judgment to discard the
Bonnie as soon as came to years
Of discretion"
With her parents, little Bonnie
Annie Laurie made frequent trips to
Washington to visit relatives and
friends.
Upon one Of these occasions Mrs.
Briggs remembers their being at the
home of DR.. E. P. Rowland, who lived
on -Four -and-a street, across
from the Metropolitan Church which
is now used as Social Service Center.
DIR. Rowland was an intimate
friend of Alexander Graham Bell, who
was then perfecting the telephone
that he had invented.
Lifting me up in his arms" Mrs.
Briggs reminisces, "Dr. Rowland said,
Now, Bonnie Annie Laurie, you are
to sing Mary Had q Little Lamb
into this instrument, just as II you
were singing it to me- This ! did.
Then he said. 'Hurrah for you,
believe you will be proud to tell it
when you are an old lady that you

congressional bachelor Of his time in
Washington.
In the library, which Is on the
same side Of the house as the dining
room, although 1t Is In the original
portion built by Capt. Duncanson, are
two enormous walnut bookcases
which were made q vertable treasure
trove of old and valuable editions by
the book-loving OLIVIA" some of
them dating back TO the early days
of printing.
Rear Faces ID Street.
The old house literally goes through
from one street to another. for while
its main approach is on South Caro-
lima avenue, the back Of it fronts"
on D street southeast.
And Baldpate, with its seven keys
has nothing on Maple Square. for
there are seven outside entrances to
"the great house." as it was called in
the days OF slavery of which it knew,
as is mutely attested to by the old
barred slave quarters which are still
standing. The commodious brick
stable, now doing service as a garage,
also is in much the same condition
as 1t must have been during the early
history Of the old place.
Sliding down the cellar doors at
the Briggs property would be feat
indeed for the most daring young
sters, since they are among the very
largest I have ever seen.
Bricks laid In herring-bone pat
tern and in the end to side fashion
form a sort of courtyard from which
one can survey a unique rear gallery,
known as the smoking porch" Open
ing out from it were the gentlemen's
guest chambers, the conclusion evi-
IDENTIFY being that those devoted to the
use of the Virginia weed" would take
their smokes apart from the house
proper.
Even during the regime Of the
present Mrs. Briggs there was at one
time an ancient pump located at the
entrance to the kitchen door over
well sunk when the house was first
built. Its water was greatly priced
by old residents in the neighborhood
for its pure quality and delicious
taste.
One does not wonder that the IA
nous OLIVIA" besought her son and
the wife Of his choice to make their
home with her at Maple Square, for
the present Mrs. Briggs is as delight
full a chatelaine for this old property
as one could possibly imagine. Her
own background. too, is as interesting
as that OF the ancient house which
she occupies today with her COM
panion and q faithful colored maid.

The daughter Of Samuel w. Worces-

Pohick Church. Mrs. Briggs. was one
of three out of five Of her fathers

creek at the mill near Mount Vernon
where George Washington was wont
to have his wheat ground into -four.
AS a child, Mrs. Briggs spent much
of her time at Woodlawn with her
uncle, John Mason, who was a rela-
tive of George Mason of Gunston Hall.

Mrs. Briggs father had been q pupil
Of William Mason. the great musical
director Of his time, and he spent
much time with her instructing her
in vocal music, 1t being their joint
idea that she might perhaps have q
musical career. However, a concert
at which she sang shortly after her
debut, when Chief Justice Morrison
r. White Of the United States Su-
preme Court and other notable Wash
ingtonians were in the enthusiastic
audience, was her last public appear
ance, because at this time she met
Mr.. J. Edison Briggs, who lost no time
IN persuading her that she would
prefer matrimony to the concert stage.
In difference to her husbands wishes
Mrs. Briggs never again sang. except
in the drawing rooms of their friends.
Mrs. Briggs first came to Maple

100 YEARS MARKED
Old Timers Gather to Honor
Preceptor of Child

By the Associated Press.

OXFORD, Ohio, July 25.-An older
generation, on whose lives McGuffey's
Eclectic Readers left a lasting impress,
did honor to the preceptor of their
childhood today at celebration com.
nemorating the Tooth anniversary OF
the famous textbooks origin.
There were speeches, music and
pageants honoring William Holmes
McGuffey, who published the first OF
q series Of six readers in 1886 while
he was professor Of ancient languages
ut Miami University.
Mainly, however, the 1000 or more
one-time students of McGuffey books
and others who gathered on the
campus, made the occasion one for
recalling memories Of distant youth,
for the trading Of autographs on
frayed fy-leaves Of the readers and
for visiting with solemn respect Nc
Guffeys home and the university's s
McGuffey Museum.
Festivities of more formal nature
started yesterday with pageant and
square dance, and continued today
with a demonstration of McGuffey-
style school room in which children
played the parts their grandparents
took, in listening to lessons OF the
red-haired schoolmaster.
An honorary doctor of letters de-
gree was presented to Hugh S. Fuller
ton, Columbus, Ohio, newspaper man,
termed by DR.. H. c. Minnich, director
of the museum. as the greatest living
authority" on the famous educators S
life.
John F. Carlisle, founder of the first
McGuffey Society in 1928. asserted ''if
McGuffey Readers were in use in our
schools today there would be more
honesty and less crime"
Fred L. Black, representing Henry
Ford, ardent collector of McGuffeyana,
gave a message from the motor mag
nate in which he said Ford ranked
McGuffey with Lincoln and Edison as
the three men he most admired.
Miss Maude Blair OF Detroit. owner
OF the largest collection of McGuffey' S
works-more than 800 volumes-ob-
served in a short address that his
writings we're so modern" that with

they would excel those used in

hope parents will take inter-
