who helped raise money for the washington monument
Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton Eliza remained dedicated to preserving her husband's legacy. She re-organized all of Alexander's letters, papers, and writings with the help of her son, John Church Hamilton,[14] and persevered through many setbacks in getting his biography published. She was so devoted to Alexander's writings that she wore a small package around her neck containing the pieces of a sonnet which Alexander wrote for her during the early days of their courtship.[48] Even in her nineties, she remained dedicated to charity work, and after moving to Washington, D.C., she helped Dolley Madison raise money to build the Washington Monument.[55]
