Mourning Shield

[RJNorton]

I would like to say thank you to Jonathan Feist for sending this information and image. Jonathan writes:

"My great-grandmother Sophia Feist sent a "mourning shield" for his funeral, presumably when the funeral train passed through NYC, where she lived. She received this letter of reply."

Thanks again, Jonathan!
