Memorials to Lee and a 1875 mausoleum project described
The article recounts postwar efforts to honor General Robert E. Lee with a memorial association led by General John C. Friege and General W. Pendleton. It details consultation with Mrs Lee, a recumbent bronze bust by Valentine, and the planned marble sarcophagus, along with a Richmond mausoleum project and the role of Richmond College and local benefactors. It also notes scholarships from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad offering $100 premiums to 4-H style agricultural club members in several states for scholarships or educational trips.
