Fort Sumter had been fired on. She
did not finish the flag, but carried it
to her front yard, and ran it up on
flag pole.
The flag remains as it was on that
day, with twenty-siX stars, instead of
the thirty-five that properly belonged
to it at the beginning of the Civil war.
Her husband, Lieut.. Col Aaron NJ.
Flory, carried the flag with him near
ly four years of the war, until he was
taken prisoner and confined in a Con-
federate prison at Fort Tyler, Texas.
Instead of confiscating the flag. as
might have been expected, the prison
authorities sent it to Mrs. Flory.
When peace was declared, Mrs. Flory
marched in the peace parade, carrying
the flag.
Escaped From Prison.
Lieutenant Colonel Flory, in COM
pany with Capt. w. B. Loring of the
United States navy, escaped from the
prison by obtaining Confederate uni
forms, which they carried into the

brush wood. Changing their clothes,
they managed to pass muster in
