Lost Ring Found After 42 Years
Mrs Anna Wolf of Woodbury, widow of Joseph Wolf, claims a gold wedding ring found by Theodore Geissel after 42 years. The ring was reportedly lost during milking a cow on the Woodbury farm, with diligent searches failing to reveal it at the time. The Philadelphia Record notes the tale tied to Delaware Revolutionary War lore and the "Blue Hen’s Chickens" nickname for Caldwell’s regiment.
