Dear Sir:

I have a bedspread which was made in Fremont years ago, about 1902. It has names of veterans of the Civil War, Henry' Dobson Post, G.A.R. If there is a museum in Fremont, I think it should be there.

The spread was made by the women of the W.H.C. It was part of a project to raise money to place a monument to Civil War veterans in the cemetery there. Each soldier paid 10 cents to have his name, regiment, and company put on it. Then they raffled off the spread and my father, John Delamater, drew it.

The spread is made of white cotton and the names and designs are embroidered in red.

Please let me know if a museum or other organization wants it and who I should send it to.

Sincerely,

Gadie Delamater

Note: The quilt is now in the Newaygo County Society of History and Genealogy Museum at Newaygo. The following is a list of names on the quilt.
