Gustavus Brown Of Port Tobacco, who
attended Gen. Washington during his
last illness. At the time Of their mar
riage, Mary Brown was the widow Of
the Rev. Matthew Hopkins, and by him
had one son. Henry Threlkeld had at
least one son, John Threlkeld, whose
daughter Jane, as before stated, mar
ried Col. John Cox.

about the coal veins whose inclined
streaks underlie the southeast section
of this area of low, wooded, sandstone
hills. It is territory OF some 75o square
miles situated where the rolling Rhine
land hills merge into the Lorraine
plain-near the point where Germany,
the Duchy Of Luxembourg and France
meet. The Saar abuts nearly half of
the irregular prewar French German
border between Luxembourg and the
Rhine River-the half next to the little
duchy. The Saar River, rising In Lor-
raine and flowing northwest close to the
French frontier and emptying into the
Mosel River near Trier. gives the region
its name.
Densely Populated
Supporting population Of over 1000
people to the square mile, the saar is
one Of Emope's most densely populated
and highly industrialized areas. Ma
ture has folded rich veins of black
wealth under the Saarland hills, and
nine-tenths Of the people were sup
ported before the war by work ,in the
mines or in the highly specialized In
dustries which depended upon them. In
prewar days, all but two small Saar
mines were government owned and op-
Grated.
This mining area Is unique. Although
the dust and din OF industry are eu-
dent, the Saar has great natural beauty
and charm. There is no typical crowd
ing OF mills and tenements. Industry Is
compact. intensive and theatrical In Its
setting. It Is one Of the few places IN
the world where forests Of chimneys
stand among forests Of oaks and
beeches. Saarlanders are hard-working
people, homogeneous and stable, with m
attachment for the soil unusual among
industrial populations. Nearly all work
ers own their bones with small plots Of
land, called zwergbetriebe. or dwarf
holdings" but the Saar Is still heavy
importer Of food.
