Muth Will Be
Remembered
To the Editor:
I write to mark the passing of one of the most civic-minded men ever to live in Rappahannock County — George E. Muth.
In his time here (Mr. Muth and his wife Lydagene arrived in 1951) he performed innumerable good works as he had done previously in Washington, D.C.
Mr. Muth served on the Zoning Appeals Board. He was a member of the Library Board. He was a trustee of the Culpeper Hospital. He worked in mental health.
Perhaps his greatest reknown came as president of the Rappahannock Hunt. Fall after Fall the Muths presided and poured on their spacious Stone Haven acres as the Rappahannock Hunt hounds received the presiding clergyman’s blessing.
Before retiring to Woodville Mr. Muth was a patent attorney in Washington and head of the Muth Artists’ Supply Company which later was sold to the Ginn Company.
George Muth died at 90 on May 17 in Harrisonburg after a stroke leaving happy memories of his famous poker club among whom were Tom Pillar, Colonel Biddle, lan Pryde, Ned Johnson, Cliff Sutherland, A.Y. Stokes, and Jamie Jamieson.
Friends will want to know that there will be a memorial service July 8 at 1 p.m. at Bethel Chapel in the Sunnyvale Retirement Community in Harrisonburg.
George was our longtime neighbor on Yancey Road near Woodville. A wittier, kinder, more solicitous friend would be hard to come by.
