“As the paper had suggested, Judge Richard T. W. Duke of Charlottesville presented a request to Congress for a $20,000 contribution to pay for the monument. No funding was to be had, and when the desired monument became a reality on 21 November 1919, it was the first of four gifts of sculpture that philanthropist Paul Goodloe McIntire would make to his hometown and alma mater.” 104-0273 VADHR Betsy Gohdes-Baten

lament

graveyard Westport MA — This is my grave of destiny here must I ever lie.
The path I’ve trod through all my life has ended so let me die.
All my life I’ve wondered just when my turn would come.
And with a very honest hope my destiny is won
But if I’ve won no one will know
And all should wonder why
A man as good and kind as I should really have to die.
