Apron Worn by George
Waahington(?) on Display in City
Freemasonry Throughout Town Deeply Interested in
Relic; Would Know If It Is Really Genuine

' Freemasonry In this city and vicin- 1
jity 1B deeply Interested in nn apron of 1
a member of the Blue Lodge which c
| appears to have I>een the one worn by
George Washington as a member of <
the lodge at Alexandria, Va It has
just come Into the possession of Jay C. ;
Saltr.glver, Jr., and is being exhibited 1
in the display window of his antique
store at 225 North Second street.
While there seems to be no doubt t
that the apron actually is the one worn
by General Washington in his Masonic (
duties, it is not accompanied by any
certificate of any sort, and members I
of the craft who have viewed the relic :
are endeavoring to find an absolute -
clue.
The apron, of the regulation sheep- i
skin and common size and shape, has i
every appearance of great age. It dif
fers from the Masonic aprons com
monly seen nowadays in that it is
emblazoned with the various insignia
of the Masons, whereas the modern
aprons customarily are of spotless
white without any figuring whatever.
The various figures on the Washington
apron are engrrfVed In colors.
The apron is under glass in a heavy
frame; the frame, probably an excel- :
lent piece of workmanship in its day,
would be styled "gingerbready" or
something else nowadays; Mr. Saltz
glver suys the frame is at least sixty
years old, and this is borne out by the
details of the framing.
History of the Apron
Under the glass, above the .-oron It
! self, is a printed slip, yellowed with
age. It looks as if it were a proof
slip from a job office, set up and print
led for the purpose. It reads:
"Masonic Apron.

lodge at Alexandria, Va.. presented by'
him to General Horatio Gates and lat
er came into possession of Mrs. Gen.
W. C. Anderson, a descendant of Gen.
Gates, who presented it in 1854 to Dr.
R. N. Short upon, his being made a
Mason in Missouri lodge, No. 1, of St.
Louis, Mo."
Beneath the emblems on the apron,
in fine type, is the line: "Designed ami
I engraved by a brother, Midd. Conn."
It is presumed this means Middletown.
Conn.
Sometime after becoming a Mason
in Missouri, Dr. Short moved to Penn
sylvania and made his home at Center -
vllle, Cumberland county. The apron
has just been handed to Mr. Saltz
giver by heirs of Dr. Short who ar<»
settling his estate and who have com
missioned the llarrisburg man to dis
pose of the relic.
Is It Genuine?
The design of President Washing
ton's apron is familiar to all members
of the craft and to many laymen, for
pictures of it often are distributed as
Masonic souvenirs and for other pur
poses. Frequently pictures are seen of
Washington wearing the apron.
Local Masons are unwilling to ad
mit or deny the authenticity of the
relic. None seeni to know whether or
not the usual Masonic custom of bury
ing the apron with a deceased mem
ber was followed in the case of the
first President or not, and they are
endeavoring to get all the data they
can. It has been suggested that the
frame be opened In hopes of finding
further information and this will be
done If the present owners consent.
It is a coincident that the apron
wus turned over to Mr. Saltzglver last
Monday, December 14, the anniversary
of the original owner's death In 17a®.
