stone, evidently boulders from James river. Jacob Ege was the
owner of a lot in the plan of Richmond by Wm. Byrd, in 1736. The
house is the oldest standing in the city. It is erroneously stated that
it was once the headquarters of Washington; a ludicrous assumption,
in that Washington at no time during the Revolution had his headquarters
in Richmond, nor is it known that he was here at all in the
period; further, the structure originally comprised only two rooms,
with contracted attic, in which the family of the owner had not overample
housing. Indeed, had Washington with his staff been in the
vicinity, the owners of spacious mansions in the neighboring country
would have felt themselves privileged in entertaining him.

Thanks to that blessed volume which hath brought
Light, life and immortality to man
Death has no terror to the heir of Heaven
It is the portal to His Father's throne
This world is full of evil and care and suffering
Its joys are transient, vain and fleeting.

Illusive as a shadow, happy he at peace with God, who
quits it earliest for pure bliss, rather rejoice than mourn that
so soon have earth exchanged for Heaven.
