; By 1850 the name of Poole had
returned to Poolesville when
three OF the sons of John Poole
and Priscilla (Sprigg) took up
residence there. DR.. Thomas
Poole occupied the charming
brick house on the main street
now at the corner, though for
mel4y the school was between his
house and the corner. Next door
was his brother Frederick Poole,
living in the house of his moth
er-in-law Wilson, already describ-
ed. And down opposite the Epis-
copal Church, as already indicat-
ed, lived third brother, William
Dennis Poole.
Until about 20 years ago the
population of Poolesville was
amazingly stable. Most of those
living in the town had parents

tinental Enterprises were formed
to take over the non-transit pro.
perties of the Capital Transit Co.,
including Glen Echo.
The park was operated by that
firm until June II of this year,
when Rekab, Inc, bought all the
assets of the Glen Echo Park Co.
and subsequently leased them to
Kebar, Inc. Abram Baker is
president of both concerns.
When the transit firm took
over, the transportation difficult
ties that beset the chautauqua
and the early amusement park
were eliminated with the install
lation of a streetcar line running
past the main gate.

destroyed by a fire which almost
wiped out the town in 1923.
The success of Poole and Peter
in selling off lots no doubt in
dicated to Alexander Whitaker
that he could do the same. Viii
taker owned the land to the west
Of the two, and when he died
in the late 1820s he directed in
his will that the land he owned
on both sides of CoXen's Road
should be divided into 16 lots, two
lots to each of his eight children.
These were all subsequently
sold Three of those on the north
side became in 1880 the property
of William Dennis Poole who liv-
cd there in substantial house
now the home of Mrs. julius
Hall. On the south side of the
road, two Whitaker lots are now
the site of the Episcopal Church.
The adjoining lot became at an
early date the property of the
Hoskinson family, members of
which still live in their century
old brick house The small brick
house on the corner was built
about 1920, and next to it, another
ancient brick house was long
the property of John w. Hall.
Meanwhile Dennis Lakeland,
who purchased the Is acres from
John Poole in 1917, had been un-
able to keep his property which
in 1922 was sold by the sheriff
10 pay Lackland's debts. 1t was
bought by Lackland's brother-in-
law Ignatius Davis. He and his
heir, Davis Richardson, sold off
these lots on the north side of
CoXenS Road. Here several
houses were built, including the
brick houses Still standing, which
in recent years belonged to Mrs.
Willard, Misses Hall and others.
Along with homes and stores,
Poolesville acquired several
churches. In 1920 Maj. George
Peter gave the land for the Meth
odist Episcopal Church which is
still standing, although long un-
used as a church. In 1849 the
Presbyterian Church acquired
land, and that church is still
standing and, until recently, in
use.

copal Church acquired its ground

road which becameA the "old
road" in 1929 when a humber of
residents of the neighborhood,
over the protests of other inhabi-
tants. succeeded in having Cox
ems Road shifted to its present
location.
The oStensible reason for the
shift was that the old road lay
on low, swampy ground An
other reason may have been that
Maj. George Peter who had in
herited from his father Robert
Peter a large tract called For
est wanted to sell off lots out
of this land which at one point
lay for a short distance along
Coxen's Road but was for the
most part separated from this
road by Joseph Poole's land.
In 1919 Peter had sold off an
acre to Robert Wilson on which
the latter built house in the
same year This house descend
ed to his daughter Mary, who
married Frederick Poole. Their
daughter Florence married her
first cousin Richard Poole and
one of their daughters, Mrs. Fan
ME Poole Williams, lived in the
house until a few months ago.
Peter sold off a number of
other lots; in fact, all of the build
ings in Poolesville on the south
side of the main street as far
west as the Edwards Ferry Road
are on part of Forest" the Pet

houses and stores were built be-

NOlU Center of Fun and FrOIic,
Glen Echo Was Lecture Site

Each year, hundreds of thou
sands of pleasure-seekers visit
Glen Echo Park and frolic amid
the remains of great national
chautauqua. AS a chautauqua,
Glen Echo was a failure; as an
amusement park, it is an estab-
lished tradition of the area.
ChatauquaS, popular at the end
of the last century, was "assem-
blies for educational purposes,
combining lectures, entertain.
ments and outdoor life, and
modelled after summer schools
established at Chauauqua, N. Y"
tSee other story in this edition
on the Washington Grove Chat
auqua.)
The Glen Echo Company,
which was to be "the greatest
forum of the age" was charter.
ed by the State, providing for
$1,000,000 worth of construction
of buildings and improvement of
the grounds.
Work was begun in February
1891 and the first session was
held the following June. Within
a year the establishment includ-
cd a post office, store, a hotel,
an art school, music conserva-
tory, school of invention, a
school of literature and houses
for the staff.
The Hall of Philosophy and the
Amphitheater were most impress
sive of all. The ruins of the
doomed hall and the stone
amphitheater can still be seen.
The amphitheater contained a
$4,000 pipe organ. powered by
an underground stream.
Years later this stream was
utilized for the amusement
parks "old mill" sometimes
called the tunnel of love.
As the chautauqua gained
prestige, 200 of Washington's
foremost citizens, including
