s, which to-day sound like the inventions of the story-tellers. General Maury was a perfect type of the old-time Virginia army officer—brave, high—spirited, adventurous, rollicking, always ready for fighting, ready for sport in any form, ready for any undertaking that offered adventure, or, if honor and duty required, ready to sacrifice life for either. Virginia gentleman and Virginia soldier, he was a splendid type of each. His descent. General Maury was born in Fredericksburg, May 21, 1822. He was descended from the old-time Virginia families of Maury, Fontaine, Brooke and Minor, scions of which have illumined pages of the history of the State and nation by their achievements in war and in peace. He was a son of Captain John Minor Maury, United States Navy, and a nephew of the great Commodore Matthew Fontaine Maury, the geographer of the seas, and probably more esteemed and honored in other countries than any American scientist who ever lived. General Maury's father died

At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Southern Historical Society, held January 17, 1900, the following action was taken: Dabney Herndon Maury—hero and scholar. Died at the home of his son in Peoria, Illinois, January 11, 1900, Dabney Herndon Maury, the eldest surviving Major-General of the Confederate States Army, and who was born at Fredericksburg, Virginia, May 21, 1822. Drawing his life-springs from lines which have shed lustre on the annals of his native State, and of our common country, he nobly exemplified in his happy and protracted life the worth of his descent. The lessons presented by his dutiful career, and as limned in his delightful Recollections, can but be potent in inspiring posterity. Resolved, 1st. That the death of General Dabney H. Maury is an impressive loss to Virginia, to our country, and to this Society, of which he was one o
