Soldiers’ Aid. We have just had handed to us, for the
Soldier’s Aid Association, a very well-made pair of stocking, knit by Mrs. Mary
V. Coburn of Dracut, the mother of George W. Coburn, Esq., and last surviving
daughter of the late Gen. Joseph B. Varnum, formerly speaker of the federal
house of representatives. Mrs. Coburn is now 87 years of age. Each of the
stockings is ornamented with a star, tastefully wrought into the fabric.
Oh....to see an original pair with stars and or flags knit into them!
