Mrs. Hugh Pendleton Allen and Mrs. Thomas McAlon, both former residents of Martha Steel and Mrs. H. M. Seely, provided the music. An interesting feature of the occasion was the presentation of a gavel of cedarwood by Mrs. Frederick Marshall, the wife of Douglass Wherry, of Richmond. The travel was made from a tree growing on the banks of the James River, beside the famous Helona arsenal, established in 1816 by Major Clarke, fought by President Mullson in 1816, and garrisoned by the government. It was used by Jefferson Davis as secretary of war, and later for munitions during the Wars of 1812. It is now a thrifty grist mill, the private property of J. W. Cummack. Mrs. Kruse, who is prominent in club and social circles of Pittsburgh, is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Preston B. Belvin, of this city, and was before her marriage, Miss May Bolvin.
