If you don't have a front-loading washing machine, go to the laundromat. Down comforters become heavy and bulky with water and can damage the balance of top-loading washing machines. Comforters can also become tangled and rip in washing machines that are too small.
Martha Washington died with a high fever of 105.3 and heart failure. She died at age 70, on May 22, 1802. She was depressed after George died and more of less wasted away.
In fact, George Washington outlived his two stepchildren, and proved to be a great father to them and loved them like his own children. In 1773, Patsy Custis, the step daughter of George Washington, died in his arms. She was suffering from a health condition called epilepsy since she was 16. John, the lone surviving son of Martha returned home from his college to be at his motherâs side.
