BUI ION GWINNETT ’S
PORTRAIT FOUND.
Likeness of Georgia Signer of
Declaration cf Independence
Discovered in Philadelphia.
The Sunday American’s search
for a portrait of Button Gwinnett
one of Georgia’s three signers
of the Declaration of Indepen
dence, a search made that the
State's representation in the na
tional gallery of signers he not
incomplete, has resulted in the lo
eat on of the only known likeness
of Gwinnett in a pr.vate collec
tion in Philadelphia.
h resulted, also, in uncovering
by a unique coincidence, an his
t:.r cal fact concerning the life
and death, of* Button Gwinnett,
the stalwart trader who was im
mortalized by his signature.
The coincidence came in the
course of the local saercli. Every
log cal source of information had
been investigated in vain. r l hen
somebody made a suggestion.
Ask Miss Nina Hcrnaday,” In
said. “If anylbody knows" about
Georgia history, it n she.”
Straighway to Miss Ilornaday’s
No. 65 East Linden street, went
the call.
“Why yes, I know of Button
Gwinnett,” she. said, nonchalant
ly “my great grandfather killed
him n a duel.
Then she told of the duel be
tween Colonel Gachian Mcintosh
and the Georgia signer, which
came as a result of a long politi
cal and personal feud between
the two men,and of how Gw nnett
shot in the thigh, died within a
few days.
It was from another source,
however that the information
came that Gwinnett’s only known
potrait is in possession of Hamp
ton J,. ( 'arson,'a Philadelphia law
yer.
The portra t is desired for
display in the rejuvenated old
Independence Hall in Philadel
phia, w here likenesses of all *>6
signers are to be hung. The his
torical build ng has been complet
ed in its old Semblance, except
for the portraits of five
of whom. Gwinnett is one- Hearst

In the days when the Christian
knights wore fighling for the
cross in the Holy Land, Prince
Johp held the reins of govern
ment. in England. John's greed
was gr liter than his fraternal af
fection; he sought, every means
to support Id’s claims to the
'■rown against the time his broth
er, “Richard the L’mi Heart,’’the
rightful !<ing. should reign .
At Itotherwood there lived at
the time a Bax,on nobleman, Ce-
drie, who had at least in spirit,
refused the yoke of the nvading
•Normans. 11 is son, Wilfred, how
ever, was kindly disposed toward
them and had received from King
Richard the manor “Ivanhoe.”
He loved trie adopted s st< r, a
beautiful S; son girl of the royal
blood, though, his father was n t
kindly disposed to the match on
account of the son’s affiliation
Ivanhoe subsequently joined
Richard the Lon Heat in the
Holy Land and the years passed
on Without news oi him. Prince
John bestowed Ivanhoe’s barony
on Reginald I rout tie Boeuf, a
l.centious Norman. Rowena 's
sought l>y Athelstcne in marriage
with the approval of Cedric. Nile
refuses. i
At me time the play opens
Ivanhoe has returned and sguised
as a holy man to test the feelings
o; his father and former sweet
heart.
