It being- evident, from the stead}^ decline of a, proper celebration of the National Holidays of the United States of America, that popular concern in the events and men of the War of the Revolution is g-radually declining-, and that such lack of interest is attributable, not so much to the lapse of time and the rapidly increasing- flood of iramig-ra- tion from foreig-n countries, as to the neg^lcct, on the part of descendants of Revolutionary heroes, to perform their duty in keeping- before the public mind the memory of the services of their ancestors and of the time in which they lived; therefore, the Society of the Sons of the Revolution has been instituted to perpetuate the memory of the men who, in the military, nava.1, and civil service of the Colon- ies and of the Continental Cong-ress, by their acts or coun- sel achieved the independence of the country, and to fur- ther the proper celebration of the anniversaries of the birthday of Washing-ton, and of prominent events con- nected with the War of the Revolution; to collect and se- cure for preservation the rolls, records, and other docu- ments relating- to that period; to inspire the members of the Society with the patriotic spirit of their forefathers, and to promote the feeling- of friendship among- them. The General Society shall be divided into State Societies, which shall meet annually on the day appointed therefor in their respective by-laws, and oftener if found expedient; and at such annual meeting- the reasons for the institution of the Society shall be considered and the best measures for carrying- them into effect adopted.

Green was born in the District of Columbia, March 1st, 1838, his father being- John Green of Rosedale, and his mother Ann Forrest, the daug-hter of Uriah For- est, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Maryland line, during- the Revolution. His membership in the Society was thus ac- quired through the maternal line. He was elected a mem- ber May 5th, 1890. Immediately after his death, at a meet- ing- of the Board of Manag-ers of the Society held July 1st, 1895, the following- resolutions were unanimously adopted : "Resolved: That the Society has learned with profound regret of the death of Osceola C. Green, a true and loyal member of the Sons of the Revolution. "Resolved: That by his death the Society of the Sons of the Revolution has lost an active, earnest, loyal member, the community a citizen of the hig-hest repute and integ-- rity,— one ever devoted to its interests, advancement and development. "Resolved: That the Board of Manag-ers of the Sons of the Revolution of the District of Columbia tenders to the bereaved daughter the assurances of its deepest sym- pathy. "Resolved further: That a copy of these resolutions be transcribed upon the minutes of the Society." CHARLES FISK McDERMOTT. Charles Fisk McDermott was born in Washing-ton, D. C, Aug-ust 6th, 1852.

At a meeting- of the Board of Manag-ers of the Society held April 24th, 1895, the fol- lowing- memorial and resolutions were offered by Mr. Ben- jaman Lewis Blackford and unanimously adopted: "Charles Fisk McDermott, g-reat-g-randson of Georg-e Bender, private Col. Ward's reg-iment, Massachusetts line, died in Washingfton, D. C, April 13th, 1895. "Charles Fisk McDermott was of honorable lineag-e, and by his ceaseless devotion to duty, his spotless character and his purity of life, he well sustained the honor of his birth, and endeared himself to all his associates and friends. "His death was a sudden one; he was stricken down at his desk in the War Department, where he had been a con- spicuously faithful official, and where his talents as an expert penman had rendered his services well nigh in- dispensable. "He passes away in the very discharg-e of the duty for which his talents and abilities had so admirably fitted him. "He died as he lived — a Christian g-entleman. "The Episcopal Church, of which he was a member, and in whose behalf he was an ardent, earnest worker, will feel his loss and g-reatly miss the benefit of his cheerful presence and untiring- energ-y. "Resolved : That the Board of Manag-ers of the District of Columbia Society, Sons of the Revolution, have learned with the deepest reg-ret of the death of Mr. Charles Fisk McDermott. "That by his death the Society has lost an active, loyal member, the community a man of unquestioned integ-rity, of Christian character, purposes and life. "Resolved: That the Board of Manag-ers, on behalf of the Society, extend to the mother, brother, and sister of the deceased the assurances of their deepest sympathy in the loss of a loving- son and an affectionate brother. "Resolved further: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of the deceased, and that they be en- tered upon the minutes of the Society." C'Htuary. 89 CHARLES ADDISON MANN. Charles Addisoii Mann, the son of Charles Addison Mann, of Utica, New York, was born May 20, 1834, in Utica. His father was a disting-uished lawyer and mem- ber of the State Leg-islature. He entered the Society of the Sons of the Revolution as a descendant of Colonel Jacob Ford, the Society of the Colonial Wars as a descendent of Richard Mann, Hon. Rich- ard Butler, Hon. John Porter, Rev. Samuel Stone, Hon. James Heaton and John Sutton. Mr. Mann was a g-raduate of Williston Seminary, East- ham pton, Mass., class of 1852, and of Yale University, class of 1856. He spent some time in Germany studying- the lang-uag-e and travelled extensively in other parts of Europe. On his return he studied law in his father's office in Utica, and in Mann and Rodman's office in New York. In 1864 he married Alice Consett, daug-hter of Rev. Dr. Paterson of New Jersey, and g-rand-daug-hter of President Charles King- of Columbia Colleg-e, New York. After the death of his wife he ag-ain traveled extensively in Europe. His second Avife whom he married in 1874 was Mary Eliza- beth Lee, daug-hter of William Barlow Lee of Washington, D. C. She is a member and ex-officer of the Society of the Daug-hters of The American Revolution and a member of The Colonial Dames and Hug-uenot Societies. In 1874 he came to Washing-ton to live. On xMarch 12, 1896, he died of heart failure at St. Paul, Minn., v/hile attending to the interests of the property he owned there. Mr. Mann published a book entitled "Paper Money," and left at his death an astronomical and philosophical work nearlv completed, which is soon to be published. The following resolutions were adopted after Mr. Mann's death: "Whereas theBoard of Managers oftheSons of the Rev- lution in the District of Columbia has heard with deep regret of the death at St. Paul, Minn., of Charles Addison Mann, a member of this Societv- 90 (Dbituarii. "Resolved, that the Secretary be directed to convey to his widow and children an expression of the sincere sym- pathy of this Board with their bereavement. "Mr. Mann was a citizen who was faithful to every trust confided to him, a g-entleman of hig-h mental attainments and a patriot devoted to the welfare of his country. "And be it further resolved, that a copy of these resolu- tions be spread upon the minutes of this Society and trans- mitted to the family of our lamented associate." GEORGE BROWN GOODE. Just before the year book of the Society g-oes to press announcement is made of the death of the Vice-President of the Society, G. Brown Goode, LL. D., on Sunday, Sep- tember 6th. From the formation of the Society Dr. Goode was one of its staunchest and most zealous friends, and from the beginning- his energ-ies were directed towards the consummation of a union between our Society and the Sons of the American Revolution, under one constitution and one name. Notwithstanding his arduous labors in the cause of science, he gave freely of his time to the Sons of the Revolu- tion, and it was g-enerally recog^nized that to no one was the Society under greater obligations for intelligent ser- vice. His death at this time cannot but be regarded as a sad misfortune, and the honor in which he was held while liv- ing- cannot mitigate the grief which his loss has caused to the Sons of the Revolution.
