Commemorative Plaque
To Be At Courthouse
American Legion Auxiliary Post No. 245 which was organized in 1947 at Sperryville, appointed a Plaque Committee to meet with the Board of Supervisors and this committee was granted permission to place a plaque in the Courthouse at Washington, in memory of the women and men of Rappahannock who served in world wars I and II.
The auxiliary is very anxious to have the plaque completed as soon as possible and requests that names of any one serving in either of the wars be turned in at once. Please phone Mrs. W. H. Lyne, dial Sperryville 3671 and give the information. The names of all veterans are to be (filed at the Clerk’s Office.
Judge J. R. H. Alexander has * stated that he is very much in favor of the plaque being placed at the Courthouse and has offered to do anything he can to help in this project.
New Owner* Move
To Silas Bruce Farm
Interesting new-comers to Rappahannock county are Mr. and Mrs. Leon T. Greenaway, who recently purchased the Silas Bruce farm on the Lee Highway between Sperryville and Washington. The sale was made through S. E. Hening, broker, of Sperryville.
The Greenaways have taken possession of the property and are making extensive repairs and alterations preparatory to moving in and establishing a farm management service for beef and dairy cattle farms as well as caring for horses.
Mr. Greenaway was born in Canada and has spent most of his life on farms and ranches. He is well known in the Angus field, having managed some of the best known herds in the east, including “Cremona” in Maryland, where the 1940 and 1341 international champion bulls, Glencarnock Eric of Cremona and Wintonier IV were used as herd sires.
Mrs. Greenaway was formerly Miss Estelle Este of Princeton, N. J. Both Mr. and Mrs. Greenaway are known in hunting and horse show circles. They have two small children.
The property, formerly home of Colonel Gibson and known as “Willis Hill,” consists of 310 acres, a ten-room house, and numerous outbuildings. The Greenaways are changing the name to “Leeway.”
