Gabriel Blanket

I just received this from Shirley Duke, the lady who sent me the blanket as photographed below.

Bob,
I just posted that the blanket was purchased at an auction some 30 years ago between Eurekia Springs, Arkansas and the national civil war park at Pea Ridge, Arkansas.
The location is in the NW corner of Arkansas.

Interesting Blanket Discussion

Communications between my sister Peggy and her daughter Meg about the blanket. 22 July 2010. The blanket pictured here is the one I received from Shirley Duke.

Meg: I have a very very similar blanket from Coopersburg. Do you want me to take pictures of it?

Bob: Yes

Peggy: Yes, I know the one you have either came with them from Germany or was made here at their mill. How are you preserving it?

Meg: It’s in my hope chest.

Peggy: That's good. This should be interesting. My father's cousin, Gabe, lived in FL and he got a lot of things from my Aunts Marquerite and Sadie because he became, at one time, a Christian Scientist, which is the religion they were very active in. I wonder if this Shirley Duke bought the blanket at an auction in FL.
