The Story of Croton
Those of the society who were fortunate enough to know her remember the fine dignity with which she always greeted her friends, and the pride with which she showed the Manor House and its store of mementos connected with the Van Cortlandt tradition. Up until her death her mind was keen and active and in spite of her suffering she enjoyed seeing her friends. We shall all feel the death of our friend and fellow member very keenly. As a token of her regard for our Society, Miss Van Cortlandt has left us a legacy of One thousand dollars.
Ernest F. Griffin, President
