Anniston Star August 29, 1937
Did you ever hear of a boy making a quilt? This is what we saw at the home of D. 
J. Ingram of near Delta last week. Two years ago, Truman, Mr. Ingram's son, who 
is now in the CCC, decided he wanted to do something different, so he centered 
on making a quilt. Truman, although he doesn't smoke busied himself in the 
collection of tobacco sacks, and when he had the top part of a quilt, he dyed 
them yellow and blue, lined it with cotton and used green material for the 
lining. This quilt will demand the attention of the most exacting woman quilter 
and we must say is complete in every detail. Mr. Ingram told us about the fine 
gilt he has which is a full-blood Poland China less than a year old that the 
night before had found six fine baby pigs. All doing nice thank you. Mr. Ingram 
has a dime, made in 1823 that he said he received in some change more than 40 
years ago. In a collection of money, Mr. Ingram had some more interesting coins, 
most of which he found. Irene Ingram showed us a gold, baby ring she found on 
the streets of Anniston two weeks ago and said she was willing to turn it over 
to the rightful owner.
