The memorial is a “husband’s tribute” from Matthew Nace to his wife, Evaline, who was born January 1, 1829 and died of pneumonia in Lynchburg on May 5, 1854. “It was one of the most expensive monuments you could buy at the time,” says Robert Mosko, chief conservator of Mosko Monument Services in Hanover, Pennsylvania. “You see them throughout Europe. They were inspired by Notre Dame and other great cathedrals.” The conservator is completing the restoration of the Gothic Revival monument, notable for its chiseled arches and cathedral spires. He estimates that Nace would have spent $160,000 to $180,000, in today’s dollars, for the work. Under the direction of Hollywood’s management, Mosko undertook an assessment of all of the cemetery’s monuments beginning in 2007. He began his restoration work in 2010, and of the Nace monument specifically in spring 2013. Assisting him were a team of interns from VCU, led by grounds man William Oakes, trained by Mosko in restoration. Mosko’s 16-year-old son, Evan, also helped. “We used him for his size. He’s very agile and is able to maneuver around ladders and retrieve tools,” he says—a big help, as the monument stands 13 feet tall. The crew built its own gantry to reach the upper portions, though “it took some brute (continued on page 2) Pages 1-3 Pages 4-5 Pages 6-7 Pages 8-9 Partial Donor List Nace Bob Olsen President John Monument Grave Monroe Notman Through Finder October 31, 2016 Fall Colors, 2016 Courtesy of Sass & Frass Photography Mr. and Mrs. Austin Brockenbrough, III Mrs. Maria C.

  • To Center City: the Evolution of the Neighborhood of the Historicalsociety of Pennsylvania
    From "Frontier"to Center City: The Evolution of the Neighborhood of the HistoricalSociety of Pennsylvania THE HISToRICAL SOcIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA found its permanent home at 13th and Locust Streets in Philadelphia nearly 120 years ago. Prior to that time it had found temporary asylum in neighborhoods to the east, most in close proximity to the homes of its members, near landmarks such as the Old State House, and often within the bosom of such venerable organizations as the American Philosophical Society and the Athenaeum of Philadelphia. As its collections grew, however, HSP sought ever larger quarters and, inevitably, moved westward.' Its last temporary home was the so-called Picture House on the grounds of the Pennsylvania Hospital in the 800 block of Spruce Street. Constructed in 1816-17 to exhibit Benjamin West's large painting, Christ Healing the Sick, the building was leased to the Society for ten years. The Society needed not only to renovate the building for its own purposes but was required by a city ordinance to modify the existing structure to permit the widening of the street. Research by Jeffrey A. Cohen concludes that the Picture House's Gothic facade was the work of Philadelphia carpenter Samuel Webb. Its pointed windows and crenellations might have seemed appropriate to the Gothic darkness of the West painting, but West himself characterized the building as a "misapplication of Gothic Architecture to a Place where the Refinement of Science is to be inculcated, and which, in my humble opinion ought to have been founded on those dear and self-evident Principles adopted by the Greeks." Though West went so far as to make plans for 'The early history of the Historical Soiety of Pennsylvania is summarized in J.Thomas Scharf and Thompson Westcott, Hisiory ofPhiladelphia; 1609-1884 (2vols., Philadelphia, 1884), 2:1219-22.

  • Crisis Or Continuity? the Structure of Royal Authority in England 1369-1422
    Crisis or Continuity? The Structure of Royal Authority in England 1369-1422 BY JOHN B. GILLINGHAM For the English crown and political establishment the renewal of war with France in 1369 turned x out to mark the end of the »carefree years« and the beginning of a time of troubles \ Düring the course of the next forty five years the rulers of the realm were to suffer a series of shocks which were unprecedented in number and variety. Not, of course, that all their troubles were new ones. In the 1370s and 1380s the war with France went badly; but wars had gone badly before - in Edward II's reign, in Henry III's and in John's. There were aristocratic conspiracies and rebellions in 1387, 1399, 1400, 1403, 1405, 1408 and 1415; but such things, of course, had happened before. Glyndwr's revolt was anything but the first Welsh protest against English rule. From 1376 onwards governments found themselves facing sharp parliamentary criticism; but critical voices had been heard before, notably in 1339-41. In 1399 a king was deposed and then murdered; but in 1327 Edward II had suffered the same fate. Yet although these disturbances may be described as familiär ones, there can be little doubt that they were all of unusual severity. Military failure against France was feit especially keenly by a generation brought up on tales of Crecy and Poitiers. Rarely, if ever, had aristocratic conspiracies followed each other in such swift succession. Glyndwr's revolt was prolonged (1400-1408) and all the more disquieting because it came after a long period of peace (since 1316).

  • An Assessment of the “Sweating Sickness” Affecting England During the Tudor Dynasty
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Edwin Del Wollert for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Science presented on March 15, 2017. Title: An Assessment of the “Sweating Sickness” Affecting England During the Tudor Dynasty Abstract approved: Paul E. Kopperman Abstract. While historiography and interest in Tudor England at both the popular and specialist levels presents few signs of diminishing, there may nonetheless exist a sense that we have little left to learn about this period and its culture. A notable gap in our knowledge, however, remains regarding the mysterious disease known only as “sweating sickness” or sudor anglicus. This dissertation addresses and evaluates this disease from the perspective of the history of science, and in doing so, it makes three key arguments. First, this project examines how the early modern science and medicine known and practiced by Tudor subjects influenced their perceptions of this new disease, leaving them in a mostly helpless position from which to combat it and indeed often wondering if the unknown illness might represent a divine judgment, especially in the form of questioning a dubious claim to monarchy made by the first Tudor ruler, Henry VII. Second, the dissertation offers a detailed and layered thesis concluding that the disease was ultimately caused by an earlier version of the louping-ill virus, or LIV, a virus and accompanying illness which continued to affect parts of Western Europe, with its own unique strain still extant within Britain. The third argument will return to the opening statement of this abstract, and reveal how this more thorough and unique treatment of Tudor historiography does much to further our understanding of the Tudors and their citizens, all the more relevant since the “Sweat” even now is typically either mentioned in passing, or not at all, but those who write about this period of history.

  • The Lincolnshire Gentry and the Wars of the Roses
    The Lincolnshire Gentry and the Wars of the Roses Jonathan S. Mackman D.Phil. Thesis University of York Department of History August 1999 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the impact of the Wars of the Roses upon the people, government and landed structure of a hitherto under-studied shire. It is intended as a bridge between the numerous post-McFarlanite county studies of recent years and the specific issue of the Wars, a conflict generally approached from a central perspective. It begins by examining Lincolnshire's landed society during the later Lancastrian period, stressing the county's political isolation, the sheer size and collective wealth of its population, but also the lack of any dominant political force. It examines the nature of local government, particularly the changing social profile of local officers, and also the issue of local violence. In particular, it highlights the effects of faction and manipulation of justice in an otherwise relatively law-abiding county, and the influence of the shires upon the descent into warfare. The thesis then addresses Lincolnshire's experience of the Wars themselves, particularly stressing the limited participation of the resident population. The Lincolnshire Rebellion of 1470 is described in detail, this shadowy episode being carefully reconstructed in order to gain a fuller understanding of its importance. This is then tied in with a discussion of how the Wars had only a limited effect on Lincolnshire's social and landed structures, yet radically altered its relationship with the Crown. It highlights the tension between the established order and the Yorkist administrative elite, and the way this became embodied in a local power-struggle which, it is argued, led to the Rebellion and ultimately contributed to Edward IV's own deposition.
