TO ASK CONSIDERATION OF MAURY MEMORIAL

Another effort to have Virginia honor the memory of Matthew Fontaine Maury, her greatest scientist, by placing a suitable marker in the Goshen Pass, Rockbridge County, the spot Maury loved above all others, will be made in the Senate today by Senator A. Willis Robertson, who will attempt to call up his measure with this purpose in view.

The bill, which failed of consideration several days, ago through operation of the one-object rule, provides for appropriation of $1,000 out of the State Treasury, to be paid over to the Matthew Fontaine Maury Association, with which to place a small memorial, with an inscription, in Goshen Pass.

Maury, during the last years of his life, lived at Lexington. It was his dying wish that his remains be carried to their final resting place “through the Goshen Pass when the myrtle and the ivy are in bloom.” Daughters of the Confederacy throughout the country are behind the project. Mrs. Frank Anthony Walke, of Norfolk, being in Richmond now to express their wishes.
