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.
Unfortunately, his solitude lasted less than three years as he died on December 14, 1799 at age 67. George Washington Custis was the son of John Custis, the son of Martha Washington from her first marriage to Daniel Custis. George Washington Custis was thus Martha Washington's grandson. His father - John - served as an aide to George Washington and died from camp fever during the Battle of Yorktown in 1781.
