Dear Families,
The recent dedication of the The Anne Roney Fountain at the Sarah P. Duke Gardens in honor of Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans, elegantly recognizes Anne Roney’s donation of the Roney Fountain in 1901 to Trinity College, what is now Duke University, in honor of Artelia’s husband, Washington Duke.
Historical research continues to reveal a much broader story....
With your pledge and contribution, we can expand the story and continue to support various goals to continue the Trollinger /Roney / Duke legacy.
With our contributors support, in 2016 we were able to dedicate a memorial bench to accompany the Roney Fountain in the Rose Garden Circle of Sarah P. Duke Gardens at Duke University in honor of family love for Artelia Roney Duke, Barbara “Anne” Roney and many members of the Roney-Duke families and their legacy. This memorial serves as a heartfelt thank you to Duke University and Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans for their gracious initiative and contributions to the restoration of
The Anne Roney Fountain.
