Mrs. William Blanchard, of Mass., who is well known here, has lately come into notoriety as being the youngest daughter of the American revolution. The search has been going on for some time and the honor was held for a short time by Mrs. Hollister, Later Mrs. Avery, claimed the honor when Mrs. Blanchard, who is only 50 years of age, stepped to the front proving her claim to the honor beyond a doubt, as her father was a soldier in the revolutionary war.
