Plymouth, Mass., March 5.—The only remaining house in America which has sheltered persons who came here on the Mayflower in 1620 is to be sold at auction next month by order of the court. The house was built in 1666 by a son of John Howland, the last May- flower survivor, and it is assumed that the elder Howland was a frequent call.. er at the son’s home. In course of time the building fell into decay, but upon the organization in 1911 of the Society of the Descendants of Pilgrim John Howland of the Ship Mayflower the property was acquired and re- stored. In connection with raising funds for this work the society gave a note en- dorsed by William Sumner Appleton, who is associated with a number of genealogical and historical associations near Boston. Mr. Appleton, through the society’s failure to satisfy the note, had to maké payment, and later obtained judgment against the orzan- ization for $213.
