 File — Box: 9, Folder: 15
Identifier: 15

Scope and Contents

Contains fabrics, flags and ribbons that pertain to a variety of interests and events. A 1906 Roosevelt Campaign Ribbon and Mrs. Caperton's D.A.R. regent ribbons are of special interest. Also, there is an envelop that contains a small, and tattered, American flag that is accompanied by a small note that states the flag was given to Jamie Caperton while vacationing in London in 1914; during the outset of WWI. As the note reads, the flag was supposed to identify her as an American citizen and provide her non-combatant relief if the advancing German forces made it to London.
