Note 54 — Front matter

The grave is enclosed by a board fence, within which are a number of beautiful pine trees. A marker was erected at this point on July 4, 1908. In 1909 a number of spirited citizens of Uniontown, Pa., organized an association known as “The General Edward Braddock Memorial Park Association.” They have purchased twenty-four acres of land, including Braddock’s grave, and, in order to preserve to posterity this historic spot, they propose to erect a suitable monument to his memory and otherwise embellish the grounds.
