A Memorial
The residence OF Chief
Justice John Marshall, pre-
sented by the City Council
Is maintained as a memorial
to Marshall and is also the
official home Of the APVA
in Richmond.
In 1907. the National So
ciety Of Colonial Danes of
America presented the resto-
ration OF the jamestown
Church TO the APVA in COM
memoration Of the tri-cen-
tennlal Of the establishment
OF the Protestant Religion in
America. As a token of ap-
probation the APVA always
asks a Colonial Dame TO serve
as chairman of jamestown
Memorial Church Committee.
In l949. the late president
OF the association. Miss Ga
briella Page. left the associa-
ton her Richmond home,
completely furnished and
containing many antiques
related to the history Of
Virginia.

historic places Of the home
town young Catherine had
loved so well.
Today descendants OF the
girls who made up the Cath
crime Memorial Society are
leaders in the APVA. When
the APVA was organized in
1888, the Catherine Memo
rial Society merged with 1t
and became the Colonial
Capital Branch. II was the
Colonial Capital Branch that
undertook the first repairs on
Bruton Parish Church, re-
storing tombs and brick
walls.
Inspiration
The inspiration to found q
State : wide organization of
the APVA was spanked
when Miss Mary Jeffrey Gait
and her mother became con-
cerned when a high wind blew
down the chimney Of Indian
King Powhatan's house near
Gloucester. Va.
Queen Elizabeth is well
informed on the history OF
Powhatan's daughter. the
Princess Pocohontas, who
saved the life Of the leader
of the jamestown colonists,
married an Englishman-
John Rolfe-and is buried In
the church yard OF a village
church in England. The
chimney Of Powhatan's house
which was saved by the
APVA. restored and now
stands. is evidence Of British
goodwill toward native Amer
leans. For the house-mod-
eled on a more royal scale
than those Of the colonists-
was built for Powhatan by
the colonists in return for a
shipload OF corn. Tradition
persists that the Indian chief
was enthralled with the
chimneys and 1ireplaces, fnd-
ing them much more COM
Portable and convenient than
q camp fire.
The association was incor-
porated in 1889 with Mrs.
Fitzhugh Lee. wife of the
governor. as the president.

BYAntiquitYG Group
By VILLA POE WILSON

A group Of Virginia women
OF the Association for the
Preservation Of Virginia An
tiQuities made a solemn
pledge almost three-quarters
OF q century ago to safe
guard and preserve the an
cient landmarks of VirginiA's
first colonists.
They and others who have
joined with them through
the years have kept the faith
so well that Queen Elizabeth
II Of England will be able
to envision something Of the
way Of life. character and
occupations of the band OF
Britons Of three hundred and
nifty years ago who founded
the first permanent colony IN
the New World at jamestown.
The Queen will be greeted
in jamestown and other re-
gions Of Virginia identified
with the first colonists by
descendants Of the founding
members OF the APVA. in
GLIDING Mrs. Brockenhro LRh
Lamb of Richmond, preSi-
dent. and Miss Ellen Bagby,
chairman of the jamestown
Committee of the APVA. Miss
Bagby's father was a famous
author Of stories of early
Virginia. Among the contin-
gent from the Washington
branch Of the APVA will be
the directreSS, Mrs. John Lee
Coulter.
First There
Mrs. Guy Withers. past d.
rectress of the Washington
branch Of the APVA-an out
standing authority on the
history Of the Old Dominion
points out that 1t was the
APVA that FIRST reached
forth to guard, preserve and
restore. the symbols and
ruins Of the jamestown set
tiers and other early colonists
in Virginia. She pays due
tribute to the roles the Ma
tional Park Service. the
Rockefeller Historical Foun-
dalton and other organizes
tions. have played in the res
toration and reconstruction
projects.
However. she stresses that
it was the APVA that first
called public attention to the
need to rescue the priceless
treasures Of Virginias first
century from obllteration.
The APvA purchased or ac-
quired the old sites and ruins
and became vigilant custO-
dams Of many ancient treas
ures significant in the history
Of Virginia and the Nation.
A picturesque forerunner
OF the APVA was the Gather
Inc Memorial Society, organ
tied in Williamsburg. Va. in
1884. in honor OF Catherine
Tucker Coleman. who died at
an early age. She was the
daughter of Mrs. Cynthia
Beverly Tucker Coleman.
After the death Of her
daughter Mrs. Coleman
called q group Of GATHERINGS
playmates to q meeting at
the Henry st. George Tucker
House In Williamsburg. They
