The Corcoran Gallery's bust Is

sents Willkie the statesman. a man
of vision and author OF "One

with the first bust, depicting him In

with the purpose, probably. OF en-
phasizing a feeling that he Is q
man Of the ages, and not just per-
sonage of the few years OF his active
career in public life.
Miss Hoffman's two busts were
exhibited at Grand Central Art

ouently at the Philadelphia Art Al

Corcoran Gallery's bust was still in

recent date we find this stream
naWgable to Bladensburg, for We
find 1t stated that in the presi-
dental campaign of 1910 the Jack
son Democracy, several hundred In
number, took steamer here for a
barbecue at Bladensburg, and with
out mishap returned at night.
Though there was some marsh
about this section much of the
ground was several feet above the
present grade. Some of the original
terra firma, especially that OF the
streets, was long since converted
into bricks and used elsewhere.
The James Creek Canal had Its
bad effect upon the stream. The
mouth of this creek became the
capacious basin Of the canal, and
with the water front affording fine
wharfage, owned by Carroll origin
ally, and Law, Barry and other early
promoters becoming interested, this
section was one Of the leading
neighborhoods a hundred years ago.
Early Wharves.
The wharves known as Biagden's,
Barry's and Coombe's, in the early
days the landing for sailing vessels,
were afterward much used by
steamers, and the East Washington
residents took the steamboat there
for excursions down the river before
the days OF river resorts, and for the
camp meetings at Bunny Oak near
Glymont, of Scagg's or Pyle's woods,
up the branch.
In 1902, George Blagden bought
lots /, 2, and 3, with water rights to
the channel extending about $50
feet. In 1906 Joseph Warden bought
in lot 8. In 1918 Col. Wharton OF
the Marine Corps bought lot 6 at
the corner of Third street and Geor-
gia avenue. with wharfage rights. s.
Stephens had a lease in lot Z on
Third street and Edward Mattingly
had a deed to the same lot in 1915.
Mr.. Coombe acquired title to lot 6,
which included Wharton's Wharf. 8.
N. Smallwood in 1921 acquired sub
divisions of lots and 5, east Of Mr.
Combe's corner, and his wharf and
lumber yard were soon well known
The next year Mr.. Mattingly bought
lots Z. 8 and 8.
In the '3Os George Blagden
bought the water right Of lots 4, s
and, S, thus having the whole water
front. N. Brady had subdivisions OF
4 and S fronting on Georgia avenue
and George B. Smith had lot on
Third street.
In the '2Os and '3Os the ground
had a value of to 10 cents, and
the improvements were listed as
follows: George Blagden, $3.50
later IS 1000: S. N. Srnallwood, 81, 900;
wharf, $1,000; Mr.. Coombe, 81 900
afterward $4,000; Rachel Wheat
81, 500; Wharton's heirs, $4,000; G
Mattingly. $1,000; Van Reswick
81 900.
Great expectations prevailed as tc
the future of this section, for, with
fine wharfage sites on the south
and the basin Of the canal on the
west, profitable trade was counted
on.

Seventh streets. On March IS, 1854,
the sale of the Tucker farm was an
nounced In The Evening Star. The
price was given as $4,000, and the
purchaser a Mr.. Fox OF Baltimore.
1t was then announced that the
property would be divided into lots
! for private country residences.
/ In 1849, a post office was estab-
lished in Anacostia, and this name
was changed to Uniontown in 1865,
but four years later 1t was again
given its original name.
The first plat of this subdivision
/ included the names Of such streets
as Harrison, which replaced a part

The Tucker Family.
Enoch Tucker was born on the
Severn River near Annapolis, Md,
in 1870, was the son of Thomas
Tucker, revolutionary soldier who.
and for aught the writer knows. he
may have been the identical little
Tommy Tucker" who sang for his
supper, of whom we, as children,
heard so much. But. however this
may be, when grown to manhood
Thomas Tucker married and reared
family of children. including Abel,
William. Ann Cor Nancy. Francis,
Silas, Enoch, Joseph, Samuel and
Sallee.
| Abel Tucker was born in 1871 and
died In 1891. In 1904. he married
Mary Tydings, also of Anne Arun-
del County. Md. They had an old
time family of nine children, some
of whom settled in the District Of
Columbia. John Henry Tucker Of
this branch married Sarah A. Nc
Pherson of Georgetown, D. c, He
will be recalled as one of the first
penny posts of this city, and as a
pioneer settler of THE Island" One
of his daughters, Ann Olivia, mar

Crown, who gave the alarm of fire
at the time of the destruction of
the Blodget Hotel, December Is.
1896, the building then being owned
by the Government and occupied by
the Post Office Department, the City
Post Office and the Patent Office
The loss, particularly to the latter,
was irreplaceable. It was the first
hotel building erected In Washing
ton, in 1893, and was on the north
side of E street, between Seventh
and Eighth streets northwest. The
Crown descendants are quite numer-
Gus here.
/ Ann Tor Nancy Tucker, daughter
OF Thomas Tucker, married, In 1907
William Duvall, and many Of her
descendants reside here. The late
Andrew Brown Duvall, once corpo-
ration counsel OF the District, was a
grandson of Ann (Tucker) ,Duvan.
Another of our well-known citi-
zens and q civic worker, Evan H
Tucker, is related to this family.
