leum, still recalled by many, was
erected in the old burial plot in 1924
and remained there until 1872. when
1t was removed to Oak Hill Cemetery.
A DESCRIPTION Of this mausoleum
= written by Jonathan Elliott in
1880 says:
This funeral monument was de-
signed by the late George Hatfield
and is placed on an elevated site in
the burial ground of the family OF
David Burnes, one Of the original
proprietors of the soil of this city.
Its architectural appearance is i'm
posing and impressive: the tomb is
surrounded by IL lofty columns sup
porting the entablature and dome. It
appears to be an exact copy Of the
beautiful Temple of Vesta at Rome,
its rich ornaments only excepted.
ut was erected by Gen. John P.
Van Ness. The remains Of David
Burnes' family and the lamented
daughter and only child of Gen. Van
Ness, Mrs. Elbertina Middleton (who
intermarr1ed with ]. Middleton, ESQ.,,
OF South Carolina) are deposited with
in the sepulcher. It forms a beauti-
full and stately ornament and relieves
the eye from the monotonous dullness
that reigns In the naked commons
toward the north.

, tngton. Mrs. Madison was the first
directress. Mrs. Van Ness became her
successor and has ever since devoted
her time and attention to it with a
zeal and Iberality honorable to
herself and important to the society.
Like all infant establishments Of this
kind, 1t had many difficulties to over
come, but by the laudable and un-
swerving exertions OF its managers
and patrons. and by the generous
donations OF many citizens and strang-
ers whom its extensive benefits
proved and exhibited in the pro-
lection, education and reformation
of the children Of poverty, and their
qualification for useful and respectable
station, in life, disposed them to
employ and turn their means into the
prevention and relief of human misery,
the establishment has been placed on
= more respectable and permanent
footing.

and Tenth streets west. The corner
stone was laid by Mrs. Van Ness in

citizens. The situation is pleasant,

was to this building that "Old Fuss

called-sunmoued Col. Robert E. Lee
in the Spring Of 1861, and asked him
point blank whether he intended to
resign from the United States Army.
At first, We are told. the future South
ern chieftatn made no reply, when
Gen. Scott, continuing. said:
II suppose you viii go with the rest.
II you propose 10 resign it Is proper
you should do so at once Your pres

General" Col. Lee then answered,
"the property belonging to my chill

was accepted. and married her. and
thus the late Gen. John P. Van Ness
became the husband of Miss Marcia
Burnes, the rich heiress Of her father,
Davy Burnes. and the possessor Of
the vast number Of lots In the City Of
Washington, which were formerly
styled Burnes' farm"
The Burnes family were large land
owners in the area now known as
the District Of Columbia, and David
Burnes inherited all his property from
his father, James Burnes, whose
wooden farm house was located in or
very near the block bounded by G, H,
Ninth and Tenth streets, and here
was also the family burial plot, 80
feet square.
A TTER the land ceded for the City
Of Washington had been laid OF
into lots and the, shrewd Gen. Van Ness
got control Of affairs. the lots in the
square where stood the old homestead
were sold, along with the rest OF the
property. ard the members Of David
Burnes' family living there, having no
title rights, were dspossessed.
In this connection 1t is quite pos
sible that the Moses Orme referred to
by Hines was the son Of John Orr, or
Orme, whose cabin and orchard were
on the site of the old Patent Office
Building and who was dispossessed by
Gen. Van Ness. Indeed, it does seem
that Mrs. Orr, or Orme, might have
been David Burnes' sister.
The reader will probably recall how
this old couple. who had resided on the
Patent Office site for 80 years, were
forced to give up their home and be-
came subjects Of charity and when
they died We're buried side by side in
paupers' graves.
The writer referred in a recent story
to the old Gait home, which stood
for many years on the west side Of
Ninth street, between q and H streets,
which was in the block where early
stood the home Of James Burnes,
brother to David. The family bury
ing ground stood on the south side
Of H street, between Ninth and Tenth
streets, in square No. 375. Grant
place was not cut through until about
1872. The Burnes-van Ness mauso-

ayers, that it was incorporated in
May, 1928. by act of Congress by
the name and title of the Washing
ton City Orphan Asylum.
There is, in addition to the regular
orphan establishment in the same
buildings, free day school numer-
ously attended, all under the super
intendence and direction of u female
managers, selected from amongst the
most respectable ladies of the city, and
five trustees. Upon the whole, the
institution bids fair, If properly sus-

scale and success of its invaluable
exertions in the cause Of benevolence

until 1t was moved to Nebraska avenue.
Immediately preceding the Civil
War there were probably not more
than seven structures in this block, Of
every description. and at the same
period the northern part Of the square
between F and G and Ninth and
Tenth streets, is represented as being
entirely vacant ground. The Burnes
farm house is said by good authority
not to have stood exactly within the
lines Of the square between Ninth
and Tenth and G and H streets, but
rather at the center of the intersec-
ton of Tenth and H streets. The

Of H between Ninth and Tenth
streets. cannot be far from where
the Burnes' burying ground was To-
Gated and from where the mausoleum

The mansion which Gen. Van Ness
built and first occupied in 1916, after
moving from 1902 D street, was in
the square bounded by Constitution
avenue and C street, Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets, and was for many
years one Of the show places of the
city. Both the old mansion and the
humble cottage have long since been
removed, and the remains of the
