Old print surfaces anew at library

Charles Davis writes “from story at
News-journalonline.com while cleaning off shelves in a back room at the Edgewater Library this summer,
Librarian Ruth McCormack made a rare discovery. She found a framed certificate —
dated 1911 — which featured an artist’s rendering of Ross stitching the 13-star flag while
President George Washington and two other national delegates watched.
In the bottom righthand corner, a decoratively written message thanks Hawks Park
School for donating dimes toward the restoration of Ross’ famous house in
Philadelphia.”
