JIM: The General Gifts a Gavel By JIM From the December 23, 1914 News: A Rare Gavel Attorney General James Garnett was in Washington, DC, last week and while there he went out to Mt. Vernon, where George Washington, the father of our country, is entombed, and also his beloved wife, Martha Washington. While there he purchased a gavel, the wood taken from a tree growing in the sacred spot. Tradition says that while President, George Washington was Master of Alexander Lodge [of F & AM], located in the Capitol. The gavel was mailed to Geo. E. Wilson, Secretary of Columbia Lodge, No. 96, who will present it, with General Garnett's compliments, at the meeting to be held the evening of the 26th inst., the annual election of officers. It goes without saying that the Lodge will highly appreciate the gift. (At the above-mentioned election, the following men took office: Horace Jeffries, W.M.; W.H. Sandusky, S.W.; J.D. Lowe, J.W.; J.N. Murrell, Treas.; G.E. Wilson, Sec'y,; J.A. Willis, Tyler; John Sandusky, S.D.; W.I. Ingram, J.D.; Gordon Montgomery & W.T. Price, Stewards.)
