From the Paper:

"George Washington loved his country perhaps more than any other countryman. He fought to gain independence from England, fought internal forces to ensure a proper constitution, and accepted with grace and dignity the distinction of becoming the first president of the United States, an office and title he did not actively pursue. Washington died at his beloved Mount Vernon, December 14, 1799 of a throat infection. Henry Lee delivered his eulogy before Congress, saying, "First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen?" Always putting his country first and foremost, George Washington was the most beloved president the United States has ever known."
