GRANDCHILD
Carlisle, Pa, May 15.-As filled
with patriotism as in the days half
a century ago when she defied the
Confederate army, Mrs. Julia Kuhn,
of Boiling Springs, Cumberland
county's Barbara Fritchie," de-
clares that she would 'do the same
thing to Kaiser Bill and his men,
should the occasion warrant.
Mrs. Kuhn tells the story of the
way in which herself and a neighbor,
before whose house the Stars and
Stripes were flying when Fitzhugh
Lees column marched into this sec
ton. We're ordered to take down the
flag, but how she refused and lacon-
ically remarked the flag stayed up.
Vibrant with patriotic ferVor, al
though in her ninetieth year, Mrs.
Kuhn deplores the horrors and sut-
fering of war. as having felt them
in her younger days she does not
wish herself or her descendants to
undergo the same experience. She
lived adjacent to Daniel Kaufman
of Underground Railway" fame
during the Civil war, when the lat
ter received almost daily consign-
ments of escaped negroes from
stephen Weakley, living farther up
the valley. and transported them by
night to the next station in a large
Conestoga wagon.
She has three children, nine grand
children and four great grandchil-
dren living. She still prides herself
on being able TO quilt as well as
she used to and boasts of her skill
in this direction.
