Story of Lydia Still Popular in Williamsburg
The tale recalls Lydia, 11, and her sister Matilda, 7, lost after setting out to move cows near Williamsburg in July 184, with the community mounting a massive search. Rev. Finley recounts a weeklong trek led by Cornelius Washburn that drew hundreds, as tracking signs and a boyhood camp grew into a collective effort across streams and woods.
