Washington, first President of the United States, was born
Feb. 22d, 1732, on the banks of the Potomac, Virginia.
Mount Vernon was built by his half-brother Laurence, who
died in 1752, when George went to Mount Vernon
to live. The house contains about twenty rooms; in the
dining-room (on the right) is the Carrara marble mantel
sent to George Washington from Italy. On Jan. 6th
1759, Washington married Mrs. Martha Custis, a young
widow. He died of pneumonia on Dec. 14th, 1799, his
wife surviving him three years.
