SAMPLERS BY WRENTHAM PERSONS

On March 6 1994, a sampler, dated 1826, made by Charlotte R. Hovey, of Wrentham, was sold at auction for nine hundred and fifty dollars to Ms J Kastler of 125 High Street, Boston. The late Mrs Esther Anderson, of Sheldonville, owned two samplers made by two sisters, while attending Day's Academy. Esther stated. "When they are as old again as they are now, they will be worth what it cost for their restoration."
