Hidden From Enemy By
Brave Young Girl—Now
Rests In Honor In Ohio

COLUMBUS. 0.. May Btu-A
faded. powder-stained old flag of
Civil War days. worn for long weeks
as a pettlcoat by a little Quaker-ass
maid staunchly ioyal to the Union
rests in a place of honor in the Ohio
Museum at Columbus. 0.
If this old flag with its It stars
still shining out from its faded field
or blue could speak. it could tell ohe
of the most colorful and romantic
of the many tales taken forth from
the tissue wrappings of memory and
shown on Memorial Day.
And not many miles from the old
flag, and near enough to Halt it
often. lives a white haired old man
to vouch for the lion's story. and
hold his feeble old shoulders a bit
higher as he remembers his part in
that story.
He is General J. Warren Keller.
lift-years-old. former speaker of the
House of Representatives and the
oldest living former speaker.
His law shingle still hangs out. in
Springfield and ‘iis said that "smart
law youngsters" fear the competition
of the old general.
But friends of tho general like
“the poiticoat story“ best of all iltoso
that cluster about his snow-white
head.
Back. in June. l863. when cannons

Shenandoah Valley. Uenoral Xeifer.

near Winchester. Virginia.
The fiery souilterners were rsin-
ing shots too fast and furiously and
President Lincoln ordered Keller to
break camp.
The Flag Leif.
neliictantly the general gave way
to the enemy. but to deceive them
longer he left his unit's flag waving
proudly and brightly from the
camp's highest point.
Next forenoon the Confederates
stormed the hill only to find
empty camp. But the flag of the
enemy was theirs.
Jeff Davis was collecting captured
Yankee firms for celebration of
southern successes. and the boys in
gray packed the Union flag in a box
to ship to "Jeff" in Richmond. Va.
lint. they did not think of the
loyal and brave hen rts of two I’nion
loving girls in the neighborhood.
Mary Joy and Anna Jackson.
Quaker-eases.
Mary Joy. a girl living in the
home or 9. Joseph Jacksonvnsnrrthe
fort. had married a young Union
time sac. He had left. her for his
regiment, and she feared he might
be among the prisoners brought by
the Confederacy to Fort Milroy.
She was right. Going secretly to
the fort in the dead of night she
found her husband. He and another
prisoner prowling about the fort
had found the boxed up flag and
stolen it from the box.
They bound it about Mary .ioy as
a pctticoat and begged her to take
it to Anna Jackson. a girl in the
household where she lived, who was
known as of Union sympathies.
Dangerous Job
Anna Jackson was chatting with
some Confederate soldier admirers
when Mary Joy returned with the
famous flair petticoat. Calling her
from the room the flag was given
her.
Then began days of rapid moving
for tile famous flag. The fort had
missed it. The Jacksons Were sus-
pected. and searching squad after
searching squad came to the house
while the flag moved from ash bar-
rels to under bags and mattresses.
down cellar. in granaries and smoke
houses.
The years went (in. The war was
over. The blue and the gray slept in
grassy hillsides together. Anna
Jackson was married now. Her
name was Mrs. Jonah L. Recs.
Exactly 60 years from the date of
the historic flsg’s capture she sent
in to General Keller. saying that. it
was really his own regiment's flag.
The general presented the “petti-
coat flag" to the state of Ohio.
where it rests in Commons. as one
of the most colorful mementocs of
the war.
