ANOTHER DONATION

Mrs. Bradshaw Aids Movement For Addition to Hospital

Mrs. John T. Goolrick, president Mary Washington Hospital Association has received from Mrs. Mary A. Bradshaw and daughter, Miss Virginia Bradshaw, of Washington, a check for a good sum for the fund being raised for building the addition to the hospital. Mrs. Bradshaw is a sister of the late Judge Jas. B. Sener. She resided in the city for many years and takes a lively interest in everything pertaining to the welfare of Fredericksburg.

If all the old residents of this city now living away from here would follow Mrs. B.'s example it would give them pleasure and mean much for Fredericksburg.

NOTE: There are things about this article which lead to more questions, such as the name of MARY A. Bradshaw and also the fact that there is a daughter named VIRGINIA. Unless Virginia A. Sener had a sister who also married a Bradshaw, this is most certainly Virginia, as evidenced by her place of residence and also the fact that it states she was a sister of Judge James B. Sener.
