With Easter only a few days off, Mrs. DAISY WASTLER, Young Building, Public Square, remembered this week she had a very old Easter egg and with a little searching she located it. Mrs. Wastler is showing this egg to her friends and declares she believes it to be the oldest Easter egg in the city, as it was decorated 99 years ago. The ancient egg was decorated by Mrs. Wastler's grandfather, Andrew J. Boward for his daughter, SARAH, Mrs. Wastler's mother, who was born on Feb. 28, 1847. This date, as well as other decorations appear on the old egg which was colored with onion juice, the old way of coloring. Although the shell is faded, it is still in a good state of preservation. Both date and name was legible. There was originally four old eggs, the one with the 1847 date being the oldest and the next one bearing date of 1852. They were at one time exhibited at the Herald Mail office.
