Tusculum student participates in ceremony of Johnson descendent
One of Tusculum College’s own participated in a wreath laying ceremony honoring the birthday of Margaret Johnson Patterson Bartlett, the great-granddaughter of 17th President Andrew Johnson on Monday.
Elizabeth Chamberlain, an education major from Greeneville, sang, “America the Beautiful” as part of the ceremony. The event is sponsored by the Nolachuckey Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution organization and was held at Bartlett’s grave site on Monument Hill.
Bartlett, a Tusculum College alumni from the Class of 1924, was a long-time supporter of the College, donating the collection of Johnson’s private and family papers and family artifacts to the President Andrew Johnson Museum and Library, as well as playing a key role in the establishing of the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site here in Greeneville.
