Mrs. Wilson Operates Hand Loom.

The Boston Sunday Globe contained a
reproduction of "A photograph of Mrs.
Mary Wyman Wilson of Newfane weav-
ing at her d-fashioned hand loom also
an interesting descriptive article. Such
looms once were in general use the world
over for weaving the fibers of wool. flax
and cotton into cloths. They are now
bought by collectors of antiques. Mrs
Wilson recently completed a web more
than six yards long She can weave any
kind of cloth for which she has the ma
teral for the warp and the woof, unless
it is of complicated design. The Globe
said:
Mrs Wilson was the daughter Of
Eben Wyman of Sandgate, Vt, where
she was born in 1886. She has been
twice married. Her first husband was
Warren Brown of Dover, VT, where she
lived on a farm the greater part of her
life. Her second husband, also deceased,
lived with her on the Brown farm in
Dover for some time, and later in New
fame village, in the house which she now
occupies.
although Mrs. Wilson has lived nearly
three -fourths of a century she is still
strong and active, and is likely to be
able to spin and weave for many years.
Like many people of her age, and in
similar circumstances, she Is inclined to
regard modern improvements with a
shade OF contempt. She does not believe
that any one now living possesses suf-
flcient skill to make a reed like that In
the old fashioned loom. 1t was certainly
a fine piece of mechanical work None
have been manufactured for many years,
steel having taken the place of reeds or
"There is but little difference between
some of the best specimens of Mrs. Will
sons work on her old hand loom and
that done in the factories, She can show
many fine specimens of her work. such
as blankets, curtains. wearing apparel,
etc, some of which can scarcely be dis
tingushed from modern mill weaves"
