Pre-Civil War era quilt bought online by Oxford historian
(Oxford, CT) The old met the new when Oxford's town historian bought a 150-year-old quilt on eBay.
Dorothy DeBisschop, the town's historian, found the antebellum Civil War Friendship Quilt and won the auction for the rare artifact of the town's rural past with a bid of one thousand dollars.
