Excerpt from Donegal in the Revolution, Patriotism and Piety: An Address at the Unveiling of a Monument to the Memory of the Revolutionary Soldiers of Donegal, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Erected by the "Witness Tree Chapter," Daughters of the American Revolution, Thursday, October 5, 1899 It has been said: Every man at his birth is an epitome of his progenitors. He starts out with the elements of his character drawn from the widest sources with which the problem of every life is concerned. It is not the dome of St. Peter's, but how the hand that rounded it acquired its skill; not the play of Hamlet, but how the mind that gave it its own wondrous birth was developed, that are the con cern of history and philosophy.
