Content: [Original by James Otto Lewis, later copied by Charles Bird King. (Horan, 1972, p. 234)]
Content: "A Chippeway widow, on the death of her husband, selects from his scanty wardrobe, a complete suit of his best clothes, which she makes up into a bundle. This is placed near her while at work, and is carried wherever she goes. She calls it her husband, treats it with the respect which would be due to a living lord and master, and would be considered as disgracing herself and treating his memory with disrespect, if she were to part with it even for a moment."--from source text.
