Wythe Tablet

On July 30, 1891, at the third day of the third annual meeting of the Virginia State Bar Association, member W. W. Henry of Richmond offered the following resolution:

Whereas the grave of Chancellor George Wythe, in the churchyard of St. John's church, Richmond, Va., is unmarked, Resolved, That the President of this Association appoint a committee of three, who shall ascertain as nearly as possible the locality of the said grave and report to this body at its next session, and at the same time report what will be the cost of a suitable one to be placed at or near said grave.

The resolution was adopted, and the President named three men to make up the committee: W. W. Henry; R. G. H. Kean, of Lynchburg; and R. M. Hughes, of Norfolk.
