S. Bright, local attorney. Removed from’a vault in Richmond while the Civil War was at its height, the body of the one-time vivacious mis- tress of the White House was taken to the old home of the Madisons in a| plain coffin borne by a wagon -no. escorted by a Confederate colonel who | had been invalided home from the mm Mr. Pairo recalled.

The grave plot then was so congested that part of Dolly Madison's gflve was in the cornfield and part in grave plot.” Died at Age of 8.

Representative Denison argued that similar circles in that range were named for soldiers, Repre- resentative Ramseyer' said he knew of no reasons being ad- vanced satisfactorily as to why the circle named in honor of soldiers of his State should be changed to carry the name of Logan. He pointed out that Gen. Logan's statue stands in that cir- cle, which should be. sufficient honor for his memory and that - during the war Gen. Logan had been associated with many Iowa soldiers, so that it is quite fitting that the circle should continue to be called Iowa.
