From "Pioneers' Progress: 
The Second 25 Years of Lyme Township
and Strong's Ridge"
by Adeline Wright

	Another treasurer under glass is a Needlepoint copy of the DiVinci
Last Supper. The date upon which is was made is unknown but we do know it 
was made by Lucy Ann Strong Tibbles(sp). Lucy Ann was the daughter of Lyman 
and Ann Bemis Strong and was born in 1815. The hands and faces are done in 
petit point, but the really unusual thing about the needle painting is the 
goblets on the table. Instead of stitches of yarn, they are formed by 
attaching white satin-glass beads, giving a sparkle and depth to the rather 
large piece of work.  The colors remain fresh and vibrant, even though they 
surely have passed the century mark in age.
