BOUNDARY STONES OF DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 



350 



SOUTHEAST, NO. 2 NORTHEAST, NO. 7 



A stone with comparatively clean inscription, Although this stone is badly seamed 

 showing saw marks through the center, it is otherwise in better 



condition than any other. 



northwest, No. 7, is perhaps in better 

 condition than any of those most easily 

 accessible. It is situated about a quar- 

 ter of a mile southwest of Chevy Chase 

 Circle, which is reached by trolley. A 

 modern marker stands on the southwest 

 margin of the circle, and the old stone 

 may be found by walking in the direction 

 of the line cut in the top of the marker. 

 As the monument stands in an open 

 field, it is easily seen. The northeast, 

 No. 2, stands in the town of Takoma 

 Park, also reached by trolley, and is on 

 Maple street, about 100 feet northeast 



of its junction with Carroll street, at the 

 end of a hedge. 



It is to be hoped that the authorities 

 will awake to the fact that if these mon- 

 uments are not protected in some man- 

 ner from the elements and the hands of 

 vandals they will soon be lost to us, as 

 the material is of a particularly friable 

 nature. In spite of their dingy and bat- 

 tered appearance, the little stones with 

 their quaint lettering seem to reflect the 

 simple dignity of the days and people 

 we all wish to keep in loving remem- 

 brance.
