The First In The County

Judge C.H. McCall bought the first sewing machine that was ever brought into 
the county.  He purchased it in New York and paid three hundred dollars for the 
machine.  It was one of the very old style Wheeler & Wilson machines, and it 
was as related by our informant four or five feet high.  In those days a sewing 
machine was a great rarity and but few families possessed them.  Better 
machines can now be bought for one-tenth of what this one cost.
