Aunt Narcissa's Quilt
[ca 1880]

"Aunt Narcissus Benson's quilt. She gave Mrs. H. R. Black."

Mary Snoddy received a quilt from Narcissa Benson, an unmarried aunt who was fifty years old in 1880 and living in nearby Wellford. This gift was not named in Narcissa's will, so it may have been presented before the maker's death in 1881.
