Firemen Shawl Through Generations in Bridgeport

In Bridgeport a green wool shawl once woven by firefighters for charity keeps warm three generations. Raymond and Doris Beardsworth own the six foot square wrap, tied to Nellie Beardsworth in 1938 by firefighter Sinnott. Firemen, including William O’Mantrey, stitched the shawl over days, ending with a fringe. It has served as a lap robe at stadiums and on car rides, and as a cozy blanket for children and infants alike, passing from Mrs Beardsworth to her daughter in law in 1951 and remaining in use in homes today.
