Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1858-10-22

lOuged to his grandmother Pickney. who died
before the Revolution The distaiT and gOurl
were not lacking.
Mrs. Tyler, of East Cleveland, had small
Wheel which bore the impress of I777.
Mrs. Aaron Shepard had two-handed little
Wheel, brought from Newton, Conn, and made
/ by John Sturtevant, over half century ago. 1t
was brought in an OK wagon. Mrs. 5. had four
plaster of Paris and two wooden milliner's
blocks on the platform, the Gipsy, Cottage,
and Cap Crown styles of a score Of years ago.
The Wool and Flax workers all performed
like "good girls" Mrs. Gov. Wood, aged 60.
opened the match on the flax wheel with the
| spirit of I6. Mrs. Anna Shepard, SO years,
made her double fax wheel buzz, and in her old
costume cut a figure as she rocked the cradle Of
Mrs. Virgins and sang Hush-a-by-baby - as
of old Mrs Garfield, A years, made the knit
ting needles click merrily without dropping a
stitch. Mrs. Tyler, born in 1903, used her fax
wheel ike an old friend, dipping her finger in
the gOurd just as her granny did Mrs. Brow
er spun fl TX evenly as when she run of the runns
in New5urgh long ago. Mrs. Dunham, Of
Bedford, aged &C, handled the cards as exPertly
as many modern misses turn Jacks She rolled
out the rolls as fast as Mrs. B. Stedman, Of 81,
could draw them out, single twist, and spool up
the threads. Mrs. Willard, of East Cleveland,
20 year, of age, soon spelled Mrs. s and Mrs.
d. had to card faster than ever. Mrs. W. han
died the big wheel like plaything, and its
musical hum had no drone in it. She drew out
and run up the thread with true old school grace
Mrs. Mary Brooks, of Newburgh, aged g. years,
held the hatchel between her knees and feet,
and drew the fax through the sharp teeth, slip
ping off the tow through her left hand smoothly
as modern dandy strokes down his goat chin
Mrs. Jones, of Euclid, specimen but not a
spinster of four score, used the big wheel and
run off wooden knots we can't say at what rate
per hour We will venture to say, however,
that no, young girl under 20 in Cuyahoga can
beat this grandmother Of So Mrs Catherine
Burgess, of Bedford, aged So, used the cards
like one whose right hand had not forgotten its
cunning. Mrs Andrews, of Newburgh, aged
60 years, carded tow on a match with Mrs. En-
gle, of Royalton, aged 6s. Both were experts
and merited medals Mrs. Warner, Of Bedford,
aged 90, spelled Mrs. Dunham in wool carding,
and kept Mrs. Gov. Wood supplied with rolls,
a Job which it takes nimble workman to do
Mrs Gov. W. also took turn at wool earding,
and proved fast machine Mrs. Wood. Of
Mortified, aged 63, Mrs. Thompson, Of Inde
pendeuce, aged 81, and Mrs. HOLSTER, of Bed
ford, aged GO, successfully and successfully ex-
ereised their early training and gifts in spinning
tow; while Mrs German, Of Newburgh, aged
so, and Mrs Warner, of Bedford, spun fax az
if on 4 stent Mrs. Geo. Kent, Of wanens-
vile, gave a good illustration OF old time weav-
ing webbing Probably others carded and spun.
for the emulation ran SO high, and the change
Of threads became so rapid, that it was difficult
to reel Off all the skeins spun on the Newburgh
platform. We have few knots more, but we
find our yarn to day is SO long that we must
cast band after spooling DOdge's forenoon and
afternoon stanzls.
