years, so Robert E. Lee was raised almost entirely under the loving care of his mother. It is said she taught him from his carliest childhood to practice self-denial and self-control, traits which he ever exhibited throughout life.
("Popular Life of General Lee," by Miss Emily V. Mason.)
Robert E. Lee was educated at private schools in Alexandria, Va., and prepared for entrance into the military school at West Point, for from earliest youth he seems to have desired to enter the army. His first teacher was Mr. William B. Leary, an Irish- man, who lived to meet his pupil after the Civil War.
General Scott said of Lee: "Robert E. Lee is the greatest sol- dier now living, and if he ever gets the opportunity he will prove himself the great captain of history."
("Lee of Virginia," by Dr. Edmund Jennings Lee; "General Lee," by Fitzhugh Lec, and "Reminiscences of General Robert E. Lee," by Colonel Johnson.)
When the war was over what should General Lee do? He had no home, no fortune, no occupation. Numerous offers of high positions in various corporations were made to him, but none snited him. The trustees of Washington College offered him the presidency of that institution. A home in the mountains of Vir- ginia suited his taste and a desire to still be of use to his State in training her young men decided him. He entered upon his duties there in October, 1865, and steadily performed them for five years. Then his discharge came. The death of General Lec was not due to any sudden cause, but was the result of agencies dating as far back as 1863. He contracted a severe sore throat, that resulted in rheumatic inflammation of the sack enclosing the heart.
Wednesday, September 28, 1870, General Lee attended a vestry meeting of Grace Episcopal Church. The church was rather cold and damp, and General Lee sat in a pew with his military cape cast loosely about him. When he returned to his home, finding his family waiting tea for him, he took his place at the table, standing to say grace. The effort was vain; the lips could not utter the prayer of the heart ; he took his scat quietly and without agitation. ITis physicians arrived promptly and applied the usual remedies and placed him on the couch, from which he was to rise no more. The symptoms of his attack resembled concussion of the brain,

without the attendant swoon. On October 10, during the after- noon, his pulse beeamc feeble and rapid and his breathing hur- ried, with evidenees of great exhaustion. On October 11 he was evidently sinking: his respiration was hurried; his pulse feeble and rapid. His decline was rapid, yet gentle, and soon after nine o'clock on the morning of October 12 he closed his eyes and his soul passed peaecfully from earth.
One who watched him in those long night hours tells me that he died of a broken heart! This is the most touching aspect of the great warrior's death; that he did not die on the battlefield, either in the hour of defeat or victory; but in silent grief for sufferings which he could not relieve. It was this constant strain of hand and brain and heart that finally snapped the strings of life, so that the last view of him as he passes out of our sight is one of unspeakable sadness.
Upon the tombstone is only a name with two dates:
ROBERT EDWARD LEE Born January 19, 1807 Died October 12, 1870.
That is all, but it is enough: all the rest is left to the calm, eternal judgment of eternity.
General Lee married Mary Anne Randolph Custis, the only daughter of George Washington Parke Custis and Mary Lee Fitz- hugh, his wife. Mary Custis was born at Arlington, October 1, 1808; d. at lier home in Lexington, November 5, 1873. She was buried at the eollege chapel with her daughter, Agnes, and her husband.
The public notice of the marriage was short:
Married: June 30, 1831, at Arlington House, by the Rev. Mr. Keith, Lieutenant Robert E. Lee, of the United States Corps of Engineers, to Miss Mary A. R. Custis, only daughter of G. W. P. Custis, Esq.
Beautiful Arlington was in all her glory that night. The stately mansion never had a happier assemblage. Its broad portico and wide-spread wings held out open arms to welcome the coming guests. Its halls and chambers were adorned with the patriots and heroes, and with illustrations and relics of the great Revolu- tion and of the "Father of his Country." Without and within history and tradition seemed to breathe their legends upon a canvas as soft as a dream of peace.

The following is copied from the Baltimore Sun of April 29, 1905:
WASHINGTON, April 28 .- Brigadier-General Lee, United States Army, retired, and President of the Jamestown Exposition Company, is dead.
He was stricken with apoplexy at about 2 o'clock this morning while on a train en route from Boston to Washington, and insisted on being carried to the end of his journey .. He reached herc at 10 o'clock this morning and was removed to the Providence Hospital, where he died at 11:20 o'clock to-night. His death came suddenly. At 9 o'clock to-night Major Guy L. Edie, of the Army Medical Staff, who had charge of the case, issued a bulletin stating that General Lee's respiration was 32, his temperature 98.8, and his pulse 112. At his bedside when he died were his brother, Daniel Lee, Drs. Edie and Kean. The end came quite sud- denly and was without pain. The dead general was doing fairly well considering the severity of the attack until about 10 o'clock to-night, when the change came for the worst. Mrs. Fitzhugh Lee and her daughter were at Fort Oglethorpe, near Chickamauga Park. His son and daughter were in California.
